Would you say that an assault rifle ban would be the way to address it?

No it hasn't. Violence has been declining steadily since the 80's. It's currently about as low as it's been at any time in the history of the US.

I heard a commonwealth club lecture from a couple months ago where there was a mental health professional who said that people with mental illness are roughly twice as likely to be violent as those who are not mentally ill. Something to consider when looking at policy is that mass shootings...

It may be common and inexpensive, but if you can eat those and say "OMG this is terrible" then something is definitely wrong with you. They are very tasty.

I think it's the adapter that's $30, not the cables.

I rarely go out with the purpose of taking pictures, and when I do I usually come back with one or two decent shots if I'm lucky. I just carry my camera in the truck all the time and when I see something I whip it out and take some pictures. It helps of course that I'm out in the great...

Some 49er fans are from Oakland.

Hmm, no HFR theaters in Montana, Wyoming, North Dakota, or South Dakota. Guess it will be a while before I check that out.

I don't know if you would consider it meditation, but relaxation exercises cured my insomnia problem in college pretty permanently. I had a ton of trouble sleeping when I first got to college and had had some issues before that as well until one day in a psych 101 class the teacher led us on a...

My brother and his wife have my Mom on their plan and it only costs them like $9.99 for the extra line or something. At first she chewed up all their minutes, but they eventually figured out that 90% of her calls were to the same few people so they got those people on her list of 5 numbers you...

Damn those are cool. Almost makes me want to order a box for myself.

I saw Tony Bourdain eat a durian on one of his shows once. He put on a brave face, but you could tell he wanted to puke. I think he also ate bird's nest soup on that trip which, after watching him eat both, I think I'd go with the Durian. But I bet if you ate a half dozen portobello burgers or...

It's only awkward because you think it is. No one else is paying any attention to you or gives a fuck. Just enjoy the show and don't worry about it. If you're enjoying the show that's all that matters, the other people are there to see the band, not pass judgement on a stranger, and even if...

Yes, I have dated two women that would basically not eat anything in a restaurant but steak and potatoes and it's fucking lame. Also, as I mentioned, the people I know who are fussy are usually self-centered and immature in other ways as well.

It's childish and it's "I need special treatment because I have decided I don't like this". The stuff doesn't taste bad, if it did there wouldn't be millions of other people eating it every day. You can learn to like practically anything without much effort. If you just let something go by...

Do you think the techno music is just added in or does it also come from the blowjob machine? Cause that would be a pretty sweet feature.

This is better than my idea for coming on the tits.

I think the key to vegetables is to not cook them into mush and to season them. Stir fry, steaming, grilling, etc. are all better than boiling and the worst thing you can do is cook them too long. The other thing that they need that some people neglect to do is seasoning. Even if it's just a...

My neighbor's black lab has seizures as well. They mostly solved it by not feeding him peanut butter anymore, or at least they think that's what did it, so he may have had an allergy or something.

It is a great view from up there. The Marin Headlands is great although it's usually pretty windy over there. I used to ride my bike up there sometimes.

Same here. I have never really considered buying one, but occasionally I see a fleshlight commercial and think I wonder what that's like but I can't imagine my Mom coming over and finding that thing under the bed or something.

I just did it once, because I went to "In the Cut" with Meg Ryan and that was such a god damn horrible movie I didn't feel that I had gotten my money's worth so I walked across the hall to watch another movie. Unfortunately that one was Scary Movie part 4 or 5 or something which was almost as...

This is sort of off topic, but people who are picky eaters as adults are a pet peeve of mine. It drives me insane when I'm at a dinner party and some 40 year old person goes "oh yuck" when one of the dishes goes around. I can't imagine being that fucking rude. I really think that 90% of "I...

I quit after that book. It was a piece of shit. It's the only book I've ever read where I would actually just skip ahead 20 pages in hopes of getting on with the story. Hard to believe that was 12 years ago and the series still isn't finished. I'm glad I quit.

I have been known to drink this sometimes in the summer. Also like Leinenkugel's Fireside brown ale when I'm too cheap to buy Newcastle. Somebody on FOH recommended their "summer shandy" though and I found it quite revolting, like somebody poured a coors light into a glass of lemonade.

I was going to ask you about selling online but it sounds like you've got that going already. Congratulations on getting going, has to be exciting.

Yeah, me too. It was pretty clear that he believed in his heart that he was going to win no matter who went to F3 with him.

Quinn knew that the CIA director wanted Brody killed to cover his own ass and not because he really thought he was a threat. If he has a conscience it doesn't seem all that odd that he would have a problem with that.

Thinking about the whole cleaning thing I wonder why these things don't come with a couple of small pink balloons so you could pull out and come on the tits.

I can't see making a tablet your only device. An ultrabook or a macbook air is hardly bigger than a tablet and you won't have to work around things nearly as much as you would with a tablet, plus you will have to have a keyboard if you want to do any real work with a tablet which makes the...

Alton Brown is the man. I am an awesome cook and he taught me most of what I know. It's a god damn tragedy that good eats isn't on anymore.

I don't think you want to go too overboard analyzing stats on someone's rookie season. Especially Kaepernick, who has only played 5? games now.

I think if you understand men that approach makes a lot of sense. A dude hooking up with somebody that he will never see again on a business trip, or even more so a hooker, is meaningless, but a woman doing the same thing would not be, so most women can't relate to that.

I think you're over thinking it. It's just a TV show.

I am not a doctor, nor do I play one on the internet, but I would say stop googling to start with. You are guaranteed to drive yourself insane with that shit. I also think that the meditation/relaxation/stress relief route is worth a try just to rule out any kind of psychosomatic stuff going...

Young calls in to KNBR (bay area sports radio) every week and it's the highlight of my podcast week.

Yeah I should have said "I don't know if" instead of "I don't think".

Few shots of my favorite tree which is about 200 yards from my house. It's the same one that is in the pink fog shot that I posted earlier.

This is true, and I was the same way. In fact I used to buy cichlids from a place in San Jose that was in a warehouse next to a bunch of other warehouses and when you walked in all you saw was a filthy couch that usually had a couple nerds sitting on it and the guy's desk which was literally...

SD slots seem to be going away. It's pretty lame. I have heard people from Google say that they don't like it because it makes things more complicated, but I think the OEMs just like being able to charge $100 for an extra 16 gigs of flash.
