Yeah we have one in Durham now. Pretty fun time for a team outing but don’t really see the appeal of going on a regular basis. Some people are part of like leagues and shit.
 
If you're vacationing in Hawaii for a week, do you setup shop on one island or should you island hop?

We had 9.5 days there earlier this month and did Maui (5) and Kauai (4.5). Wished we had more time on each, but very glad we did both, as they're so different. Was kind of hard to force ourselves to have relaxation time with all the things to do/see.

The only thing I'd do differently would have been to take an early flight in between islands to allow a full day on the new island rather than half and half. Although we landed in Kauai in a monsoon with flash flood warnings everywhere (only rain day), so it actually worked out for the best.
 
for some reason I get a kick out of whenever HONDO2 talks about motel reservations.

Not sure if anyone has been following, but what's going on at Deadspin is a fucking tragedy. Private equity firms suck.

There's some serious poison in the veins of this country.

History books are going to struggle to contextualize the 90s and early 2000s tech booms with 9/11 and the PATRIOT act in the middle in a way that makes sense. The rapid centralization of power is just really...unsettling. Politicians and big-buck-business has always had it's weight on the scales, but, without the Internet and surveillance state, small-size-anonymity felt like a cloak or protection against their wrath. Now, it just feels like a magnification of "no one is safe."

I just got a notification from google maps for the first time Sunday saying "you should take the 5N if you're heading to Van Nuys" and I really didn't like that my phone knew where I was going within a minute of hopping in the car.
 
Yeah, what’s going on with media is super depressing — the “pivot to video” cooked numbers, these asset stripping fucks buying up pubs, the big ones less interested in the TRUTH. [Bob Dylan voice] they’ve got too much to lose by printing the truth! [/ Bob Dylan voice]

This world is depressing. Glad I can just retreat to silent stacks to pack up old records all day now.
 
plama, these have to be the worst fires in the LA area since you've been out there, no?

Giving drunk people axes and telling drunks to throw them shouldn't have any downside.

Anyone want a promotion in that group?
 
God, speaking of depressing — eavesdropping on local cops’ convo just now on military equipment available to local police, confederate monuments, and Trump’s Baghdadi presser, and their extrapolation of the response. And these guys are generally ok. Yeesh.

About to get acupuncture though and not wipe out on my bike, which would immediately make it better than my last acupuncture.

There was a fire about 10-12 years ago that was fifty miles or so inland that dropped soot on the beach for a few days.

The was a terrible one in SD about fifteen years ago. My friends were at a hotel/casino and weren't allowed to leave for a couple of days.

Although smaller in size and scope, the Laguna fires in the early-mid 90s may have been more devastating to people than the bigger fires. At that point Laguna had a lot of artists. Hundreds lost their homes and much of their life's works.

I thought the fires last year were pretty crazy, too, no? There haven't been as many this year from what I can tell.
