  1. 9 wins. We beat Maryland last year and we're already at 8. Beat Tech and we have 9. With Orlando's defense operating at full strength throughout the year and not having the first game issue, I think we don't have the same issue we did last season. I also think we beat USC this year. J.T. McDaniels is going to look like a stud by the end of next year but I pity the QB thrown into the face our D in the third game of his freshman year. That gives us 10. I think we beat OkSt and lose to WVU unfortunately. I think we lose to TCU and OU again. If I had to guess I think those three and one random game I think we won are our losses so we go 9-4.
  2. Make sure to stop by Salt and Straw for some ice cream in Portland. Best ice cream I've ever had. Beats Lick by a good margin imo and therefore, obviously blows out Amy's out of the water (still love Amy's though). I'd recommend getting a flight and treating yourself.
  3. When did Jesus become a month?
  4. I'll be there for only 4 days unfortunately. I love hiking (and nature in general for that matter), love learning about history, and most of all love eating food. I'm a pretty big foodie. I'd prefer to hit a range of restaurants at different price points ideally (from fantastic street vendors to Michelin starred restaurants to things in between) to get a feel for the food scene there. Obviously I prefer to conserve money where possible, but dropping some at a nice place that's worth it is fine by me. That being said, considering it is my first time to Taiwan, I'd prefer to have more traditional meals than a Taiwanese twist on haute cuisine. Edit: Just saw you went even more in depth after the post I quoted. Thanks so much for this info, this helps a lot.
  5. Wow this is some next level stupid. I guess you have to be this stupid to lose money as a casino
  6. Attorney client privilege is still a thing. However, it isn't, and never has been absolute. See Clark v United States where the crime-fraud exception is defined.
  7. You know that has been completely debunked right? The timeline for the "4chan trolled the CIA" story doesn't line up at all with reality and you're a moron for believing it.
  8. Stupid article is stupid.
  9. Scooter Libbey got his pardon. I'll be damned
  10. I can't believe an official party Twitter would do that. Jesus Christ they're full of shit.
  11. Why is the Democratic Party full of gigantic pussies?
  12. Because Onboard can't read and is the political equivalent of aggy "No differences in psychopathology were found between major party affiliations."
  13. This about comports with my expectations. Clinton was personally sleazy and was a sexual predator though his administration was relatively clean despite a good number of attempts by Republicans to nail him for something. H.W. was the only honest Republican we elected President since Eisenhower. Carter was a naive, but honest guy of humble origins with his peanut farm (which he divested of, unlike Trump). Ford was there for 2 years and his job was to run out the clock and not make matters worse. Reagan helped bring the Cold War to its end but was also the dirtiest president (other than Nixon) in modern history with huge scandals like Iran-Contra. Bush was probably a fine character himself, though definitely not cut out to be President of the United States, and the gang he brought with him were largely morally bankrupt, terrible human beings. Obama was supremely decent and a good steward of the office. Fox News can whine all they want, but Obama was incredibly clean in the context of American politics.
  14. Thanks for the advice! What was special about the National Palace Museum that made you wish you saw it? And what make Raohe better than Gongguan in your opinion?
  15. For the numbnuts here:
  16. Going to be there in early June. Going to be primarily in Taipei. Where should I go, what should I do, and where should I eat? I don't think there is any better source than the Shaggy Surly brain trust.
  17. Good. Glad he pulled his head out of his ass once.
  18. Imo the three worst scandals in American history go: Watergate Iran-Contra Teapot Dome I choose to leave bad administration out of it, otherwise the Bush response to 9/11 would probably own half of the top 10 if not more. From the PATRIOT Act to the bogus casus belli for the Iraq War to paying journalists to support the message to outing Plame because of her husband publishing pieces the administration didn't like and so much more. Hell the more I think about it the more I think I can get 10 things in the top 20 that could be summed up as "The Cheney Files".
  19. Man can't we just get errbody and call it a day? Do we need more Kate?
  20. For #12 I would like to point out for like 5 days Satya was optimistic. What I'm hearing is calculator.
  21. I mean thankfully Brown has done a pretty good job of being Governor so CA is actually running a surplus and has run one for the past 5 years now (though an accounting error with MediCal almost broke the streak, but higher revenues saved the day) so at least CA pays for all the expenditures and has a healthy rainy day fund for when shit hits the fan in the next year or two (estimated to be almost 20 billion at the end of this FY). Agreed that Prop 13 is dumb as fuck.
  22. You're telling me a pocket passer track star is deceptively athletic? This dude has to be white right? The only misplaced euphemism they're missing is gym rat. How the hell is a track star deceptively athletic? I'm pretty sure a track star is just athletic, no deception.
  23. Maybe he should run for Governor. It's not like you can be more backwards than a Republican in the South/Texas/Plains States.
  24. I'm saying you're not a financial genius if you literally could not beat the market. That should be pretty self-evident to anyone with a brain. Now Trump did become President, kudos to him, that is something very difficult to do, but that has nothing to do with your claims about his financial acumen. He's actually a pretty shit executive but am incredible promoter if you look at the math.
