    I think that was actually making fun of the whole SJW thing. That was one of my favorite parts.

    I got my state tax return today so I guess not all state returns are suspended.

    Cord-Cutting, Or How to Stream your Way to Success

    I'm thinking about doing it as well. Not being able to record shows and watch them whenever is a huge drawback. I'm not available to watch a lot live. I want to continue subscribing to support the idea and show that there's interest, but it's just not good enough yet. Bummer.

    I'm not much of a stout/porter fan, but that is a pretty killer brewery lineup.

    Clown Shoes The Peace That Money Can't Buy is winning Beer Week so far. That is a really good quad.

    Last Week Tonight with John Oliver

    Yeah, it's worth the watch. Each episode typically has a lengthy segment that lasts about half the show. And it's usually on something that is a persistent, massive problem in America that's as relevant now as it was then.

    The Beer Thread

    SF Beer Week is in full swing. I went to a PacNW brewery event on Sunday. It was mostly Cascade sours and stouts/porters from other breweries. I tried Deschutes Abyss and the tripel abbey from a brewery called Logsdon. I mainly stuck to the Cascade sours though. $10-$12 per four ounce...

    Better Call Saul

    The first two episodes were tight. Really enjoyed it. The second episode went by so quickly. Also, the first episode had an amazing track that I had to look up. GroovyAF.

    Pretty sure Suh only cares about the cash. He's definitely a Raiders-type player.

    Smartphones

    I'm not eligible for my free upgrade through Verizon, but I'm thinking I should wait another month. Looks like some new phones are coming out on March 1. I read some Samsung hate in here. I was thinking about the Galaxy S6, but should I look elsewhere? Perhaps the new HTC phone?

    Cord-Cutting, Or How to Stream your Way to Success

    Yeah, it's definitely not full blown 720p HD. It's still better than the non-HD channels on MMA-TV. The HD channel streams on MMA-TV look better.

    Steven Wilson - Hand. Cannot. Erase.

    I like Hand Cannot Erase way more than that tune. Not a fan of that one.

    I have a priest deck where that's one of the viable options. Runs Ancient Watcher x2 plus a few silences and Defender of Arguses to make use of them.

    I can't get any of these Android emulators to run Hearthstone. Getting denied due to system requirements. None of the Google solutions seemed to work. Bummer.

    Is that Gamecube controller adapter actually available anywhere? I've only seen it for like $80 from second-hand retailers. Fuck that.

    I had this at Mikkeller a couple weeks ago. Really enjoyed it. I'm gonna try a lot of those Cascade brews come Sunday. They have their own SF Beer Week event. Looking forward to it after the reviews here. Also, Firestone Walker's Beer Invitational tickets go on sale on Sunday. It...

    TurboTax Halts State Returns

    I use TurboTax every year because it's awesome, but apparently they're dealing with fraud issues in MN and have paused all state tax returns. They're suggesting you to not file twice because it will slow everything down. Lame. TurboTax halts state filings amid fraud outbreak

    That's why I think Gore could be argued as a HoF player. Durable, focal point of a team's offense for years, sustained success on the field. The dude is a badass.

    Punch Brothers - The Phosphorescent Blues

    One of my favorite bands. Progressive bluegrass rooted in tradition more than Bela Fleck. Chris Thile, the band leader, might be the world's greatest mandolin player - the dude won a MacArthur grant due to his playing. It's a no strings attached $500,000 grant. Given out to people deemed...

    Attacking a stealth minion qualifies as "dealing damage" so it unstealths them.

    Sex, Drugs, Riffs & Solos: The Rock Thread \m/

    Yeah, Slayer doesn't really fit the thread. The Sword and Red Fang are OK because they're a bit more "classic" in their sound I suppose. The metal thread is a whole lotta shit that I'm not into at all. Growl vocals...

    Sex, Drugs, Riffs & Solos: The Rock Thread \m/

    Good call on Red Fang. That's some solid metal. Good riffs in that stuff. I completely forgot about Antemasque's album coming out at the end of last year. I picked it up and it's pretty good. It's a bit much at times (typical of those Mars Volta cats), but there are some good tracks...

    I've been so spoiled. I haven't had a job that requires an actual auto commute in years. Seriously, like five or six years. It takes me 20 minutes to walk to the office.

    Yep. And if you're a player who decides to stay in school and then go pro, teams don't want you because you're "too old" now. It's silly.
