My book is getting published guys, guys, guys! In about 20 days it's gonna be out in the Belgrade book fair, which is the biggest book event. Thanks everyone you helped me push thiiiiiiiiiiiiiis!
Dude! Congrats!!! :tevez::nico:

You don't know the All-Blacks? Even without knowing the sport, it's like the equivalent to Brazil in football

One of the few things that make that country stand out in in the world
That and the lack of clean underwear.

Can’t get the Joker movie out of my head.
True story: last Friday I am in the Chicago Ritz-Carlton at Water Tower Place, looking for a coffee. I get in the elevator with noneother than Alex Morgan (aka "alexmorgan13). Shook her hand, but she wasn't in a social mood. Then I saw all the other cases of equipment and realized that the US Women's football team was camping out there for their Sunday friendly against Korea.

I get out of the building and walk in front of a Macy's department store. There is a row of helmeted cops ... one reaches out and practically grabs me and some random women, asking, "Are you two together?!" This with my wife a few steps behind me, mind you. I'm thinking WTF?!? and back away. Then I see the police copters overhead above the skyscrapers.

What was going on? The Joker movie was released at the Water Tower Place theater. Thank you, America, for reminding me that coming back it can be a police state just to watch a movie there ... or even be near a movie.

bought a bunch of canned food, bottled water and a small generator. Power still on :xfinger:
Seriously, that PG&E stuff is messed up. Everyone I hear back there is talking about how dystopian it is. As a VC based in SF told me in Lisbon earlier this year, "San Francisco is the most expensive third world country in the world."

Yea PG&E says its to prevent another catastrophic wildfire after the last one they caused killed 100 people and burned thousands of buildings.

dont take that as a sign too upgrade your infrastructure and update all that old ass equipment just shut off power to half the bay area anytime there is dry wind :baus:

"but hey look ...look over there at that guy Trump!" - Gavin Newsom
SF voters are largely to blame for it. In 2008, Proposition H gave the voters a chance to start a public utility district and replace PG&E. They voted not to and kept that murderous company. Now they look like idiots for it.

I lived in Palo Alto, who has a municipal power district. When anything so slight as a breeze would kick up, neighboring Menlo Park (on the PG&E power grid) would have blackouts and Palo Alto would be still lit like North Korea vs South Korea at night from space. I knew then sticking with PG&E was an idiot move. Now they're stuck with it.

Cali should just move to solar powered everything
That doesn't solve the problem of power transformers causing fires. But it could make for more lower impact mini grids.

That said, this whole blackout thing reminds me of the Enron shakedowns (not THAT Enron, the original Houston company) that happened with the California power system some 15 years ago.The meltdown got the governor canned and replaced with Arnold Schwarzenegger as a result. Who knows what's at the tail end of this mess.

i hope she does just to trigger certain folks
That would be pretty funny. Both sides of the political aisle seem to be just about triggering as entertainment as their only reason for having parties anymore.

yea way too many women have won
:lol:

I have Barrett's Esophagus.
Man, you know how to party. Worst I ever woke up from a party was some woman's shoes.

seems like PG&E has caved to all the pressure. After they had said to expect outages for 6 days they have already turned the power back on for more then half the affected areas in about 24 hours.

i guess when they planned this outage they didnt realise its not the 90s anymore its the smart phone era and the prospect of going 6 days without power might as well be Mad Max to modern Americans

Almost a whole week?!? What the fuck.

Forget phones, obviously there's no work so are people getting paid? What about all the food that needs to be thrown out? Virtually every business would need to be closed too for the most part. That's a huge economic impact.

Yes it is of course but i cant help but feel the visceral reaction from the public this time is in no small part related to our complete addiction to electronic devices.

i might just be projecting though because i couldve taken a week off work, eaten non perishable food, not showered etc i wouldve just fucked off to the North and gone camping for a few days but the prospect of having no way to charge my phone or laptop :scared:

You're probably right of course. Should still burn down their headquarters though, just for good measure.

Bro you should start exchanging some of your bad habits with good ones
Word. He acts like it's something to ignore. Few months ago he was adamant of how serious it is. Now he is chill about like it will go away and it's ok to go against the doctors orders. Jeez.



It's ok to have some fun and vices to a point, but your responsibility to your own health should kick in overdrive when you get warning signs.

First of all. I don’t get why this movie attract everything that is incel related (this is more of an American thing). But seriously. This movie has nothing to do with incels. It’s like Every Day Feminism hijacked all your cool pages.

It will go away if I get the LINX procedure.

Just don't have 15k to spare right now.

I know I sound careless but I'm not. You have no idea how many lifestyle changes I've had to make. I've had a few slip ups with alcohol and coke yeah but I'm drifting away from that, not just for my esophagus's health but for my mental well being.

:tup: Keep it up. I sound too big brother brotherish because I have long experience of seeing eggheads I know make major avoidable mistakes with their health.
