    SF is a 7x7 square mile block. There's no suburban sprawl. Sure, it's built in a grid, but that's much more efficient than the bullshit road system in old European cities. Most people who live here don't even own a car.

    All players should be judged by how many Super Bowl rings they acquire in their first three seasons. Ben Roethlisberger is one of the greatest of all time!

    I'm glad I never felt an attachment to a place due to "roots". I'm fond of Cincinnati, but I'm very glad I don't live there anymore.

    NCAA Basketball 2013-14

    Blowing a 17 point lead in the second half is so frustrating. At least Cincy can beat good teams when they play kind of shitty? Despite the sloppy half, I now have full faith in the Bearcats. This was the toughest game left on the schedule. They're a damn good team. EDIT: WTF is this and...

    Chipotle can taste pretty good, but it is dogshit compared to your run-of-the-mill taqueria. The cilantro rice is very good and the barbacoa is really good (it's the only meat I'll get there). However, I typically go for a bowl because they suck complete ass at rolling burritos. They fall...

    To be fair, Denver's defense is due in their playoff wins so far. Holding the Chargers to 17 and the Pats to even less. Putting up 24 and then 26 points isn't exactly lighting up the scoreboard.

    I'm not hating it. I thought the first two episodes were definitely lackluster, but I really enjoyed this most recent one. I don't think the show will ever reach the level the second season reached, but it still delivers quality laughs.

    As much as I'd like to agree with you, I'm pretty sure this is wrong. Steel production may not be what it used to be, but there's still a shitload of financial and technology companies/campuses based there. No idea about the education but it's not a city past its prime.

    Westbrook should be back by then though. I don't know. I'm still not buying the Thunder's level of play this month. Durant may have entered the Konami code, but even he can't keep this up.

    I thought tonight's episode was really good. Ray's on depression spiral. I hope Krieger gets more time. I assume he'll be a bigger part of the show since Lucky Yates is now in the opening credits. Bonham's a pussy. Fucking classic.

    If they weren't a division rival and based in a shitty city, I would feel bad for the Browns. Firing Chud was one of the biggest mistakes that organization could have made. I wonder if the Lombardis have learned their lesson or if they'll keep the Factory running clean and smooth.

    As Seventh pointed out, it really is a coin flip. I think electric guitar edges out a bit due to the ease of playing and rocksauce, but as Seventh also mentioned, an acoustic would end up being a better buy if she gets into it. You pick up a lot of good habits when you play acoustic because...

    As said, I've never dealt with it. But friends and co-workers have said that the price of water gets jacked up and they ration the amount you're allowed to use. Also produce shortages and/or extreme drop in quality. Additionally, it's been a terrible ski season.

    It's surprising to me how many people don't want either team to win. It's not like either team has been overwhelmingly successful in recent years. I'm pulling for the Broncos because I'm a pretty big Manning fan boy. One of those players I always admired and, due to Indy's proximity to Cincy...

    I don't have a problem if they made Robocop made ninja-like. If they were take make something like that today, that's how they would probably make it - nimble and agile. He was just slow and clunky in the old Robocop because peoples' concepts of technology in the 80s was fucking terrible.
