Zero doubt. Roger is a 10x+ world champion in multiple formats, retired for eight years, then came back and tapped Buchecha, the guy who has won the open weight championship the last seven years after him. Rickson never faced any grapplers as tough as the guys Roger has dominated repeatedly...

Dunno. I think Royce fought better opponents. In terms of grappling, Roger is the hands-down GOAT, Gracie or otherwise.

She was his editor first, but that just means she wasn't a good editor to start with.

Jesus fuck that is my worst nightmare.

Right, and as if that were a bad thing. No one with a spine likes to be told what to do.

Been playing this as well. For me, it nails the mobile/jrpg blend. Decent enough story, great art and score, simple yet somewhat dynamic mechanics, unobtrusive cash-grab elements.

Lol, whoops. Saw the thread title and of course there's a Chinatown, Mission , and North Beach here too. My bad.

Since Chinatown is getting more expensive all the good authentic Chinese restaurants are in the San Gabriel Valley. Rosemead, San Gabriel, and Alhambra are loaded with good spots. You have your pick of Ceschuan, Cantonese, Shanghainese, Taiwanese, or whatever other variants you want.

I used to roll my eyes at popular media where parents would lose their shit if their kids were threatened. Now I tear up at the feel-good father-son moments in family movies. Kids are something impossible to understand for people who don't have any.

Research is showing that there are legitimate difference in the metabolization of different calories. Fructose unaccompanied by fiber tends to go directly to fat stores, while proteins are harder to convert. Your gut biome may mean that you absorb calories from certain foods more or less...

Yeah. My in-laws literally fled China at gunpoint on a boat in the middle of the night after breaking his brother out of prison by blowing out a wall, where he was because his own mother turned in her son for speaking out against the Communists. (Anyone want to write a screenplay?) Not...

Yes, but jesus fuck no one wants them behind the wheel of a car on public roads. Mass death by non-committal driving. I can't wait until self-driving cars are perfected.

Mine lived with us for a while. There were disadvantages to be sure, but holy shit if infinite free child care and a live-in chef aren't great.

In-laws are chinese immigrants. I feel your pain.

Goddamnit you guys, I don't have time to play all this shit. =(

We wanted bulletproof durability since my wife is a klutz. We ended up getting a titanium ring. That was by far the most expensive part of the ring ($500? I forget), because it turns out that while titanium itself is cheap, welding prongs that small requires a specialty industrial laser welder...

For posterity: Did anyone hear Matt Hughes on Ariels show? Terrible. I always assumed he was in front of the train trying to kill himself. If so, fuck him for screwing it up and inflicting this on his family.

Or we stop trying to marry women who care about them.

Yeesh. UFC’s Yoel Romero awarded $27.45 million windfall in tainted supplement lawsuit

So don't tell anyone. Are they going to ask to see the receipt or something? Appeasing the biases of people who aren't directly involved is about the worst reason I can think of to spend a bunch of money, never mind willingly participating in an industry that is basically a giant marketing...

Get a lab-grown stone. My wife's engagement ring was alexandrite and not diamond (changes colors depending on the light, she's a physics nerd). I got a much bigger, cleaner stone than is available from mines and it cost $100 vs $40,000 for 1 carat. Similar savings are available for diamonds...

Not normally a fan of this genre, but YouTube took me down a few rabbit holes. Holy fuck, this guy can sing.

If I go on a work bender that cuts into my sleep and decompression time for more than a week (yay, self employment) I get sick with 100% regularity.

I don't see a way to keep a teenager from porn short of total fascism. The hormones will find a way. I'd be much more concerned about the restrictions I impose pushing him to activities/sites/distribution that are illegal(ish) and might get me sued or service cut by the ISP. My internet sex ed...

The best education in tech is what you learn yourself to overcome the restrictions of the authorities in your life. I learned 95% of my important computing/IT figuring out how to play online Doom on the school's computer labs.

SYP isn't that bad. I used whatever dogshit white pine they sell for construction in LA (it's not even douglas fir). Even with chisels sharp enough to shave the stuff is so spongy it crushes rather than cuts across the grain, and it's full of knots that might as well be made of granite. I'll...

Heh, you could drive a semi trailer over that bench. Each section is 12 face-laminated 2x4s. It's stupid overkill, but joining them on the edge didn't look right at that scale. Both pieces are pine because it's what I had in the garage. (I now know why everyone hates working with pine. Next...

Strictly amateur hour stuff, but yes. I started with a super-rustic shoe bench. Most recent project was a small table for my son's keyboard. After milling by hand all the boards for that bench I decided I don't have time for that shit so I bought a planer and table saw. All traditional joinery...

I've made three desks from Ikea countertops with pipe fittings and fence rail for legs. ~$200 total cost each. They're attractive in an industrial kind of way, break down easily for moving (though they're heavy), and you could drive a car over them no problem. I don't see myself ever needing a...

With some exceptions the only thing that matters is the age of the youngest participant. (Age of consent varies by state from 16 to 18 and sometimes there are buffers of 6 mo/1/2/3 years, etc.) It's usually never enforced unless the younger participant is a girl whose parents disapprove, or if...

Traps himself against the ropes with his hands out/down, surprised when he gets KTFO. Sigh.

When I started fixing my diet a few years ago I went from zero eggs per month to 14/week for six months. My cholesterol dropped like a rock. Now every six months research waffles between their being the perfect food or heart attacks on a plate. If I've learned anything from my lifetime anecdote...

In principle I agree - the average level of ukemi in BJJ is atrocious. However, no amount of chin tucking is going to keep your head off the mat in a straight rear suplex. Neck muscles aren't that strong compared to the energy involved.

It's a IBJJF BJJ tournament. You're not allowed to elevate and accelerate your opponent into the mat on their head/spine/shoulders. You can suplex, but not straight back like that. His shoulder blades touched first, but his head bounced hard and he was clearly dazed.

Odd hand movement, but tapped to what? There was no submission.

Is your 2017 W-2 ~$30k short of what they actually paid you? That seems like a big oversight. If it's legit, you might be able to get the fines reduced if you pay promptly and spin a good story. However, it's generally on you to report your income correctly regardless of whether your employer...

Christ, you're dense. All I ever said was that McGregor's actions were criminal and it's exclusively the DA's prerogative to prosecute.

I'll believe that when I see it. If it were true, why would we be hearing about it secondhand through an actor instead of from GRRM himself, or at least the publisher? Even if there were a deal to delay release until after the show had finished, why not announce it?

The best part of that was Dominick Cruz saying, "Nope, she can't lift there" right as it was happening.
