  1. An ex-president under two indictments, one of which he’s clearly +++++ed, while remaining the frontrunner to win the nomination of a major political party isn’t newsworthy or interesting enough for this board? I see one Trump-specific thread on the front page.
  2. Great share here. Interesting and encouraging. In today’s politics, if both sides are pissed you’re probably in the right track. Time will tell, though.
  3. Brewery? I would go to Boneyard or 10Barrel on Galveston. Both have good TV setups for breweries. Of those two, I’d pick Boneyard. I watched Nevada get embarrassed by ASU at Boneyard last week. A good sports bar? Hideaway Pub has the best TV setup of any place, or if you’re downtown, Sidelines (Not the nicest place but a true sports bar). When are you getting into town? I have to go to Medford for my kid’s softball tournament this weekend. Leaving Friday and won’t be back until Sunday night.
  4. Don’t sell yourself short. Pound for pound, Idaho is a contender!
  5. How long before NSU is better than UNLV in basketball, too?
  6. HEY! That isn't tr ... (looks in the mirror) ... Well, there aren't basements in Las Vegas.
  7. Happy to give you some spots. McMemanimin's is cool, and you should go (and stay, if you can. Hotel is really neat. And don't forget to look for the Broom Closet.) Great atmosphere, but I can say that much better beer can be had elsewhere. We have a ton of breweries. More per capita than almost anywhere in North America. You'll love Crux, and I'd recommend Sunriver Brewing (great beer), Boneyard (really good beer and a cool place even if it's a little off the beaten track), Monkless (Belgian-style and a really, really cool spot), Deschutes (still good beer, and the OG of Central Oregon's beer scene), Boss Rambler (good beer and right next door to Sunriver). If the weather is good, Bend Brewing Co. has a great outdoor area right on the river downtown. Beer is just decent, though. I'd HIGHLY recommend Ale Apothecary, too. A small brewery, but one of those most imaginative breweries in the Northwest. Most of the best snowshoeing can be found on the Cascade Lakes Highway. I'm a big fan of snowshoeing out to a warming shelter, which can be a bit of a party on weekends (You'll notice a theme in Bend. Pretty much everything is a party). Meissner and Swampy Lakes Sno-Parks are good places for that. For beauty, the snowshoe out to Tumalo Falls is fantastic. There are many, many more though. Music: This depends on the time of year. Our big music venue, the Hayden Homes Amphitheater gets a lot of bigger shows, but its outdoors so shows are only from May into October. The Midtown Ballroom/Domino Room are dumps, but will get some good shows. Anything from Ice Cube to the New Pornographers to Built To Spill have performed there. Across the street from the Midtown Ballroom is Silver Moon Brewing. Not my favorite beer, but it's not bad. And they host a lot of bands there. They have a pretty cool food cart lot out back and set up a stage there, too. One of the coolest venues is The Belfry in Sisters, about 20 minutes from Bend. It's an old converted church and they get some good regional bands. If you do go to Sisters, High Camp Taphouse is a great spot for a bite. Himalayan food owned by a husband-wife team that are actually from Nepal (their last name is Sherpa), and good variety of beers on tap. I've got more. Just let me know what else you want to see and do.
  8. Oh, who among us hasn’t … um … nevermind
  9. My kid picked it up last year. Did some lesson, then the rest on her own. Pretty awesome.
  10. Somewhere in this 1,100 pages I posted that for some people the pandemic would never end. Whether it's the Bobs of the world, or those relatively healthy people who still refuse to return to a more normal existence, that seems to be true.
  11. An elementary school in Illinois got $5b for equity and diversion programs?! Damn, that school must be something.
  12. You ever get to the bottom of that gang of Antifa arsonists?
