    I live two blocks from Chinatown. This is one of those Nob Hill-Chinatown borderline corner stores. Not quite as interesting as the Little Italy-Chinatown borderline establishments. But still "fancy" Chinatown which sounds like an oxymoron.

    There's a deli by me that makes a meatloaf sandwich that is A+ quality.

    I want to check that brewery out some time. But it's not convenient if you don't live in the area. Usually I can check brewery names off the list from business travel over time but that one isn't close to anywhere I would go.

    Had In-n-Out today. Was awesome. On another note - some time ago I posted about an Asian corner store right by me that has an impressive ramen selection. It's across the street from my laundromat and while there tonight I finally stopped in and loaded up on some flavors. Here's a pic of the...

    I need to get back to hiking. We had a really shitty wet winter and I got used to being indoors. I really need to turn that around. At least I started busting out the bike again. I got fatter over winter and I need to fix that.

    2019 NFL Offseason: Chargers Started Early

    This is like the fifth straight first round pick to miss most or all of their rookie season. Fucking injuries.

    Why would you get a non-toasted bun vs a toasted one? Toasted buns are far superior! I don't know how anyone can say In n Out is trash. Maybe it's not your preference but trash? Get the fuck outta here. Double double with chopped chilis is definitely my favorite fast food burger. Not even...

    This was a deep freezer. We're talking about a half cow and hog dude. It's a lot of fucking meat. No way that would fit in a typical fridge freezer.

    Bell's makes some great beer. Was just in CO this past weekend and had a Two Hearted Ale. A classic.

    Yep. Growing up my dad would get a half cow and pig slaughtered every year. Would end up with enough meat for nearly a year from that. Just threw everything in the garage freezer immediately. Was still better than store-bought meat.

    Job Hunting

    I would look to leave any company facing downsizing. That's not a positive environment to be in. I left my last company immediately after they laid off a bunch of people. Working for a winning company is much more healthy mentally.

    Disagree. It's possible for amazing debut seasons to have equal or better follow ups. Fargo is the first one that comes to mind.

    Leaving jobs is the best way to move forward though. Typically. That's not wrong.

    MLB 2019 Season

    Reds with a season high five-game win streak! All against quality teams - including a three game sweep of the Astros. This could very well be the highlight of the season.

    I got to Tahoe for all that. Tahoe is fantastic. Ski all day. Play poker all night.

    Yeah but you get winter. I realize that also happens in many places on coasts too but those Great Lakes winters are brutal.

    It's certainly better than Little Caesar's. Probably Domino's too but I don't even remember the last time I had Domino's. We used to beast Domino's in college all the time. Get three pizzas for $5 each and would slam those on raid nights. Good nerdy times.

    So because salsas and hot sauce are tomato-based and tomatoes are red we're inclined to make an "ethnic" assocation? I know what you mean though. Must have started decades ago with such ethnic staples as the Red Ryder BB Gun and the Radio Flyer red wagons

    Maybe, but the WiFi is usually pretty damn good at a Marriott or a Hyatt. I'm not slumming it at a Motel 6 or Travelodge when I travel. Not saying I'm going to be a Day 1 subscriber or anything, but I'm still intrigued by the tech. Even now I have a few hours to kill before a client dinner...

    I will absolutely try this. I travel quite a bit and being able to play top notch games from my company laptop instead of watching SportsCenter on endless loop sounds amazing. Give me that experience. It's why I enjoy my Switch so much.

    Andy is an all star of the show. One of my favorite comedies. Like it way more than The Office.
