South Lake Tahoe/Heavenly
There’s a burger place/bar by the gondola that was good when we tried it last year. California Burger or something like that.

What have today's elders done exactly that merits respect?

Not for sexual assault (or manslaughter/murder)

South Lake Tahoe/Heavenly
Heavenly is super convenient but Kirkwood is the best skiing in the area

Judge dismisses case against Nevada rancher Cliven Bundy and his sons
It would be nice to see the hundreds of thousands of people of color who have been equally victimized by prosecutors similarly benefit. Unfortunately they'll just get told by judges that the error was harmless and to kindly go fuck themselves.

They’d still have to add him to the 40-man roster though right?

Unfortunately that new normal is why we’re going to have a work stoppage in two years.

No real surprise but Bonnen has been officially named speaker.

The Knights of Columbus are racist, homophobic bigots, etc
Nope. Nor is it unfair to question a judicial nominee about his ability to do so.

The Knights of Columbus are racist, homophobic bigots, etc
The only accusation of racism was in Parliament’s fever dream.

Surly lawyer question- deposition question
At which point you would be fined and/or jailed.

The Knights of Columbus are racist, homophobic bigots, etc
And you think it’s unreasonable to ask a nominee who belongs to a group that discriminates on the bases of sex and religion whether he believes membership in that group violates that canon?

Top Chef: Kentucky
I’m not sure how many chefs would want to do back to back seasons. Long time away from home and family and business. And prevents them from pouncing on any immediate opportunities that arise from having been on Top Chef.

The Knights of Columbus are racist, homophobic bigots, etc
Where did she say she doesn't want them for federal judges? Or that they are racist or homophobic or bigots? She asked a number of questions regarding how, as a judge, he would approach issues where the Knights of Columbus have expressed a position, particularly in regards to same-sex marriage and reproductive rights, two issues where the Knights of Columbus have taken positions that are contrary to the law. Which of her questions exactly do you find unreasonable?

Top Chef: Kentucky
Service is a weird deal for restaurant wars. Good waiters have real jobs they can’t just ditch for a day. The waiters also have no real incentives when it doesn’t seem like there’s any gratuity and it’s a one-off gig so they can’t get fired.

Publicly announcing that your client is guilty is an interesting legal strategy.

S&P+ rankings: Overperformance or overcorrection?
That’s a postseason ranking, not a preseason one.

Vice - Christian Bale, Steve Carell, Amy Adams and Sam Rockwell
Bale will definitely be nominated and could certainly win (I’d give Cooper slightly better odds, but that’s it). There is very little chance Carrell is nominated and virtually zero chance he wins. Rockwell is more likely, as is Amy Adams.

Vice - Christian Bale, Steve Carell, Amy Adams and Sam Rockwell
Despite Bale’s phenomenal performance, this movie was not good. I loved The Big Short but Vice was like if you did The Big Short as a biopic of Lewis Ranieri and James Cayne.

New UT Basketball Arena
You don’t think Duke students go home for the holidays? Kansas is a bit unique in that even when they go home, home is only 30-45 minutes from campus for most of the students.

2018-2019 MLB Offseason Thread
Yeah, they didn't get fleeced in the sense that the trade was imbalanced. Their return is much better than what they gave up. The return just isn't useful to their current situation unless their plan is to flip Puig, Wood, and Kemp during the season for prospects.
