Derek Fisher fired by the Knicks. Welp. Looks like it's time for the Warriors to say goodbye to Luke Walton after this season. The Knicks job looks so much more appealing than the Lakers job.

It was incredibly boring.

I hope Curry's psyche can handle this loss. Can't have him jacking shots with reckless abandon without making them.

And I think a lot of Hillary's intangability for the population really comes down to how her campaign portrays her. I've said it before, and will say it again, her experiance makes everything she says (unless she's caught almost totally off guard) come off as prepared. So people don't like her because her speeches are prepared ? You also support her Calax...sorry I forgot No, people dislike her because she's to prepared. She's to perfectly political for them. They don't know that she'll do anything she says because she seems like she'd prefer to say what's correct (for her audience) vs what she thinks is actually right. That's where Sanders and Trump are scoring points, they don't care about traditional politics as they were, so they don't care that their ideas might not test well with men 18-45 (or whatever) but they still stick by them. Hillary has been in politics so long that she comes off as incredibly focus tested and always with the most political answer for her audience. Well put! I think this is where Hillary lacks Bill's political and communication skills. Bill can think quickly on his feet better than Hillary and it's pretty rare that he's going to be caught off guard. He can explain policy and nuance and make you believe it like no one else can.

Me too but my minority dem friends prefer Sanders Most of my family and friends live on the coasts --California (North and South), Washington D.C., NYC, Philadelphia, Oregon. A few were Sun Devil and Wildcat graduates though. They're conservative though.

Look, the Clintons have street cred with minority communities. Victimized groups have long memories and the Clintons built up a lot of equity through their past deeds. Bill in particular knows and understands Black America. He knows the poor. For all his moral lapses, Bill Clinton comes across as genuine in his commitment to public service. Bill Clinton is also the best politician in the modern era. He understands how to get elected and how to run a government. Throwing all useless cyncism aside, the Clintons aren't Machiavellian schemers whose endgame is to rule for the sake of maintaining power. Hillary's not nearly as likable or charming as slick Willy, but I believe her commitment to public service is as strong as Bill's. Sanders is also genuine in his commitment to public service on behalf of the poor. But he'd make a terrible President for the sheer fact that he won't be able to get much done. He's a zealot, similar to Cruz and other Tea Party candidates, and zealots are just bad for Washington. Realist > Idealist. The Clintons at the very least have history and know how to make things happen despite a hostile legislature. There will be a waiting cadre of experienced and talented staffers and Cabinet members to make the administration work.

Because William Jefferson.

I'm a minority and all the other minority democrats I talk to prefer voting Clinton > Sanders.

Oh that's a load of bull. It is impossible to classify the politics of an entire state you have never visited by the reputation you think it has because of what you've read on the internet. Yup. Also consider the demographics. Take Atlanta --biggest and most cosmopolitan city in Georgia. It's 51% Black who overwhelmingly vote Democrat. Yet the rest of the state is 59% White and Georgia is a red state.

Denying to believe that some of my favorite wallpapers were faked: EARTHRISE from Apollo 8 Sea of Tranquility from Apollo 11

Bruce, just go by based on your definition of classic rock and who you like to listen to.

Even more telling, Manziel was fired by his agent.

Well, they could have made the moon landings to look closer like this. I mean, these are the expectations after all.

Gameplay is superb, but performance needs additional optimizing. Game defaulted to highest graphical settings on initial boot, which was odd.

Kevin Spacey's "21" and the book it's based on, "Bringing Down the House" serve as pretty good primers if you want to get into the really advanced stuff. Casinos use multiple decks so the card counting strategy is going to be really difficult and cameras and security are trained to profile card counters. Stick to the bare basic tenets: -always assume the next card is a face card/10 -never buy insurance -always split on A,A and 8,8 -double on 11 -the House has the advantage

Johnny Football seemingly has the Lawrence Phillips trajectory. http://www.wfaa.com/sports/johnny-manziel-threatened-ex-girlfriend/32613842 This guy is seriously more mental than I originally thought.

So this would seem to indicate that Louisiana is PoE2. Unless both Sawyer and Adler moved on to a completely new project.

After the Iowa caucus, betting markets are doubling down (as they should) on Clinton and Rubio for the November showdown. Clinton: 5/6 Rubio: 11/4 Trump: 7/1 Sanders: 8/1 Cruz: 12/1 Bush: 40/1 Christie: 66/1 Kasich: 100/1 Ryan: 100/1 Carson: 200/1 Of course, betting on anyone underneath Cruz is dead money. It's still Clinton vs the field as the odds on HEAVY favorite at 5/6(!).

Looks like it's going to be a Clinton v Rubio showdown in November --just as the futures betting market predicted. http://forums.obsidian.net/topic/82042-democalypse-2016/?p=1756393 Of course, Democrat party leaders were hoping Trump or Cruz will still win the Republican nomination which could lead for an easier win for Clinton. But the strong showing by Rubio shows that the Republican establishment may just very well have enough to save itself fro the lunatic fringe.

I've seen plenty MkVII's in the wild. But never near enough to touch. Perhaps next time I take mine in for servicing.

120-90. Pop with some great postgame takes: "We almost got 'em" "I'm glad my general manager wasn't in my locker room or I might've gotten fired." The burn. ...Meanwhile, Blake Griffin broke his hand beating up a Clippers equipment staffer after an argument at a restaurant.

Seasons 3 and 4 of B5 absolutely killed. Awesome stuff.

Guess I'm hoping Carolina wins to keep Stephen Curry happy.
-
He will make changes during the beta itself, he intentionally over nerfs or over buffs to get reactions from testers because if he makes small changes he feels they may go unseen. He feels like with two extreme examples it is easier to find the "sweet spot" of where things should be for the actual non beta release. Yup. When Sawyer adjusts, he starts by doubling or cutting in half. That's been his M.O. for a while.

I'm impressed by the choices of younger me.
