amazing headline writes itself:

Loved it, haven't seen it any in a while, saw the "fan favorites" list on HBO Now and watched through them. That Steve Buscemi-directed episode in the snow was amazing. Most of the rest, I don't think I would pick as my favorites, too much Melfi and just big things that happened. The amazing thing about that show was every little thing (like literally everything Carmela or Junior says, or Sil's whole thing, or Tony's interactions with his sister), not just the big plot events.

Think it is more Home Depot, Lowe's, Best Buy than Amazon. That said, too bad Sears killed their catalog business right when ecommerce was getting going.

i too am mesmerized.... convinced it had to be some sort of megachurch event, mormon maybe? where else do you see old and young singing and dancing and everyone knows all the lyrics? alas, the answer is out there:

I'm sure a great businessman like Arte would jump at the chance to leave the second largest media market in the country.

Saw this on kaggle the other day (a data science / machine learning competition site), I was surprised that there wouldn't be a more "insider" way of finding analytics talent: https://www.kaggle.com/jobs/19140

Dipoto's gonna need to pull out the big guns for a full rebuild:

Just like fire season is now year-round in California, so are Angel's pitcher injuries.

Yeah, I can't see downtown LB working at all, nor most other parts due to the difficulty just getting in to most parts of LB during rush hour. Just seems like there is a lot of empty land down around PCH/2nd Street and Seal Beach, and the nexus of the 405/605/22, but yeah, some is a wildlife refuge, some looks like oil wastelands, that big Boeing facility, etc. Who knows just blabbing.

Thread is a fail because i misread it as "Joe Buck"

Long Beach would be awesome, huge city, very diverse, has some character, lot's of freeway access. Also Seal Beach would be great because still in OC, again near freeways, and of all that relative empty Navy land, but probably not for sale. If you are going to build a new stadium I think you are better off going for a unique socal beachy experience and make it a destination rather than a situation similar to the existing suburban stadium.

Fullerton is a craphole? Huh?

I lived in Boulder for 4 years after school and loved it, intended to move back but kinda got settled back here in California. It's changed a bit and now seems more of an extension of the SF techy type world, but I definitely had a great time in my late 20's living near Pearl Street. My favorite area to live was North Boulder up by Breadworks, pretty chill and away from the craziness of the University. Personally I like the laid-back suburby feel of Boulder, but I have some friends who love parts of Denver. It's true about the weather, it can flip on a dime. Warm sunny days are usually no more than a few days out. I got by with a little 2wd fine, without chains, including daily driving to Denver for work for a year, though I mostly stayed in Boulder. That said I'd get a 4wd if you can afford it. Definitely find something outdoors you like, I usually had the ski pass for the Breckenridge resorts, went up every two weeks or so with friends/coworkers and would rent out a place. Tons of great hiking around, RMNP is amazing, lots of cyclists torturing themselves up the canyons. Ground central for rock climbing.

one of the revelations of parenthood, night lights in bathrooms are amazing things. also, if you have issues with touching the seat in your own bathroom, maybe you should clean your toilet more often.

Posting because clearly a lot of interest in In-N-Out here: https://www.forbes.com/sites/chloesorvino/2018/10/10/exclusive-in-n-out-billionaire-lynsi-snyder-opens-up-about-her-troubled-past-and-the-burger-chains-future/

??? What in the serious F*ck? She was born to farmers in Oklahoma and worked her way in to Yale for law school. She worked at EEOC FOR Clarence Thomas, so if that's such a shithole "government worker" job then how did he get nominated for the Supreme Court? She was already a professor when the hearings took place. But you're right, she needed to fabricate a sexual harassment allegation to get anywhere, she's clearly just opportunistic.

The Standard Hotel downtown has a great rooftop bar and a general cool vibe. If you are in the Hollywood area then a trip to the Magic Castle is very LA though you need to know someone to get in, at least that's how it used to be. Getty has nice grounds but the art is meh, better bet is to go to the LACMA or MOCA. For beaches I think Venice is a bit touristy, depends on what you are looking for, but the Abbot Kinney area has a lot going on if you can stand the hipsters. Highland Park is pretty close to Pasadena and has a lot going on.

We need to get Kavanaugh on a that Access Hollywood bus with Billy Bush

Furious rosterbating is a perfect description. I always imagine Dipoto rolling a bunch of dice like Risk when he works out a trade.

LAX is the most awful horrible place in the world. Long Beach is one of the easiest to get in and out of, never more than 5 minutes through security, and since the renovation is pretty nice inside. Plus you get to board on the tarmac, has it's charm.

i'm guessing it involved a lesbian bar in new orleans, so i'd kinda like to know more

I'm pretty sure Trump will spend the evening as I will -- googling around to determine which Mario character resembles her silicone monstrosities.

there is no way any stats backed this decision up, someone wanted to see more homeruns. if the stats people were able to justify the move then i'd love to see what assumptions they baked into their analysis.
