  1. Liverpool duh. Manager is fantastic, playstyle is fantastic, currently winning trophies, tons of history, but haven't won the EPL since it was instituted so when we win we'll be totally justified in celebrating like we've never been there before because we haven't.

    Plus the US fanbase is pretty enormous so you'll have plenty of people to watch games with.

  2. Do you start Firmino in the final if he's available? I'm torn...he's obviously a great player, but I'm worried the layoff due to injury plus these extra 3 weeks is too much for him to be ready for a match this big. Maybe I'm being an idiot and the answer is obviously yes. Talk me down. I'm sure Spurs fans are having some similar questions about Kane.

    It's too bad either us or City will finish second. Both teams are having all-time great PL seasons. Both will finish with more than 90 points. Both will have a greater than +50 goal differential. Both teams will be around 25 goals allowed. Two great teams like this hardly ever happens. 

    But when it does, of course Liverpool has to be one of them.

    SLB up 8% after earnings yesterday.  It won’t get there in a straight line, but I feel $75 is pretty easy target with a high expectation north of $80.  $65 or so seems like a no brained in the not so distant future which is 45% from yesterday’s close.

    Holy crap that is an optimistic take.

    Green lights from the Trump administration

    "A number of these new wells will be fracked – the first use of this technique in the Arctic. One or more of the oil-bearing rock units at sites being explored on the North Slope have low permeability, meaning that oil can't flow within them very well or at all. Company engineers expect that hydraulic fracturing will be able to free such oil so it can be produced. Such has been the result for other shales and low-permeability reservoirs in places like North Dakota and Texas."

    Just started fracking last year, looks like. 

    That is some top shelf "fake news" (aka lies). Fracturing has been going on in Alaska for decades. The majority of the fracs in Alaska are small (<1MM lbs prop, rates below 40 BPM). And the number of fracs going on annually is also still tiny (on the order of dozens of fracs total in the entire state). If you don't believe me, peruse the publicly available government-run database of Alaskan fracturing permits here: http://aogweb.state.ak.us/DataMiner3/Forms/FracturedWells.aspx. The idea that fracing is having any measurable impact on Alaskan seismicity is absurd. Recall that the "big one" happened in 1964, before oil was even a thing in Alaska.

    That said, this was my first experience with a big quake, and it scared the shit out of me. No real damage to property or people (other than a few broken glasses) in my household, but I definitely was thinking that I might die. It all happened in a flash. I'm sitting there reading a paper, a slight shake, and all of a sudden I'm scrambling for a doorway while the whole house feels like its ready to come down around my ears. Fuuuuuuck that.

  7. Went and saw this last night, the last night it was showing in my city. Very glad I made it. Not for the sake of the film, although the movie itself is quite good. But for the content of the movie, the actual documentation of the climb. To me, that climb is perhaps the pinnacle of human physical achievement to date. The stakes involved, and the razor-thin margin of error, makes anything else pale in comparison. It would be like watching Michael Phelps break his own world record, repeatedly, over the course of 4 hours, and if he fails to break the record, he is immediately drowned.
