Who's the current Best Golfer Never To Win A Major? Is it Fowler? -- nm - Baron Starr Jul 20, 10:58 2
- I might go Matsuyama, then Fowler/Kuchar. Appleby/Snedeker/KJ Choi all have 8+ Tour wins and no major. Kuch, Haas, Donald, Horscel etc. -- nm - MDH Jul 20, 11:25
- I've won a major. Not in golf. -- nm - jnine Jul 20, 11:08

Shaq recommends you put away 75% of your earnings towards retirement and long-term goals and live off the remaining 25%... -- (link) - decline Jul 20, 10:33 3
- That is excellent advice for people earning millions per year. -- nm - Andie Jul 20, 10:36
- The math checks out because of all the money I'll save refilling my gas tank before it gets down to 50%. -- nm - Max Jul 20, 10:34 1
  - Yes, this deserves re-posting. -- (link) - Strongbad Jul 20, 10:39 [youtube]

- Good/bad - flying to Colorado to see my uncles. One has terminal cancer, so this will probably be the last time I see him. -- nm - Max Jul 20, 10:15 1
  - oh, that's sad. Sorry. -- nm - Andie Jul 20, 10:16

CFB Helmet quiz: 68/72! - IrishStephen Jul 20, 10:09 2

- That was my score too. - prayformojo Jul 20, 10:10
Alaska Congressional Candidate has never stopped foot in Alaska. -- (link) - Strongbad Jul 20, 10:04 19
- Dumb, but she has no chance -- nm - Amoxy Jul 20, 10:44
- Vote Jeff Johnson, the name you know. -- nm - Max Jul 20, 10:13
- Interesting. What are your thoughts on the matter? -- nm - znufrii Jul 20, 10:10 11
  - Given my previous thoughts on candidates running for office not living in the area they're wanting to represent (i.e. Jon Ossoff) - Strongbad Jul 20, 10:15 9
    - The Ossoff one was a dumb criticism since he lived adjacent to it and had most recently lived within it - Reagen Jul 20, 11:19 1
      - It was less bad than this case, but still an issue IMO. -- nm - Strongbad Jul 20, 12:46
    - [deleted] 1
      - With CDs, there's a good reason not to require it since you could easily be maliciously redistricted out of one. -- nm - Reagen Jul 20, 11:20
    - It seems like it shouldn't be legal, but on the other hand "I will relocate if hired" is common and not unethical. -- nm - Max Jul 20, 10:18 3
      - I could almost accept that, but the article didn't even imply she would do that. - Strongbad Jul 20, 10:20 2
        
        oh, huh, I assumed "resident when elected" also meant after too. To me I think the job where that's most important is police officers. -- nm* - Max Jul 20, 10:32
        
        She probably doesn't expect to win, rather she is running to highlight an issue. -- nm - Roger More Jul 20, 10:22
    - Thanks for clarifying. - znufrii Jul 20, 10:16
  - Oh brother -- nm - con_carne Jul 20, 10:12
- "Was that wrong? Should I have not done that? I tell you, I gotta plead ignorance on this thing." -- nm - Baron Starr Jul 20, 10:10
- I think it's smart of Alaska to try importing politicians after the whatshername fiasco. -- nm - David Jul 20, 10:07
- "'Don't lock me out just because I'm not a homeboy,' she said." -- nm - Ender Jul 20, 10:07 2
  - Which is far from the most boneheaded thing a candidate has ever said. -- nm - znufrii Jul 20, 10:23
  - She also promised to bring back those Blockbuster jobs. -- nm - Qale Jul 20, 10:21
David and Spawn are mentioned in this review of Mamma Mia (20 seconds in) - MDH Jul 20, 10:02 12
- I look forward to your continuing refusing to have standards on anything, ever. -- nm - Reagen Jul 20, 11:16
- While the Mamma Mia 2 hate is funny, they've made five Fast & Furious movies since the first Mamma Mia, and none of them caused this much fuss. -- nm - Roger More Jul 20, 10:12 9
  - [deleted]
  - That's because those don't suck! -- nm - IrishStephen Jul 20, 10:18 2
    - I have seen them all. I see them in theaters. They are terrible movie, but entertaining. -- nm - MDH Jul 20, 10:23
    - They totally suck. Supercars being chased by a nuclear sub! Gear shifting close-ups! Vin Diesel growling about family! - Roger More Jul 20, 10:20
  - They didn't have Cher. -- nm - David Jul 20, 10:16 2
    - Fast and Furious 9, featuring Cher as Mama Toretto -- nm - Roger More Jul 20, 10:23 1
      - Finally, a FF movie I wouldn't see... -- nm - IrishStephen Jul 20, 10:25
  - “If it were a $52M male-led action flick that earned $468m overseas and $609M worldwide back in 2008, we’d already have a trilogy and a reboot by now" -- nm - MDH Jul 20, 10:15 1
    - You can remove "male-led" and that sentence works just as well. -- nm - Johnny Lawrence Jul 20, 11:24
- If it doesn't mention a lovable dog with poor impulse control, I'm not interested. -- nm - David Jul 20, 10:06
Better career as an Atlanta Hawk: Julius Erving, Rasheed Wallace or Carmelo Anthony? -- nm - Strongbad Jul 20, 09:58 1
- Personally, I'd still take Dominique. -- nm - David Jul 20, 10:00
Speaking of musicals and only praising good stuff - I saw the local production of Hello Dolly last night. So much energy by that cast!! -- nm - Meg Jul 20, 09:54 2
- That was the first musical I was in, in high school. Such a fun show. -- nm - znufrii Jul 20, 09:55 1
  - I've never seen any version of this -- nm - ty97 Jul 20, 09:58
Man, I miss my old friend sleep. -- nm - ty97 Jul 20, 09:41 12
- 6 years since I slept more than 2 hours at a time. -- nm - jnine Jul 20, 11:11
- You had two spare hours stuck on a subway car yesterday that you could have spent sleeping -- nm - Roger More Jul 20, 09:56
- ~who needs sleep~ -- nm - Strongbad Jul 20, 09:54
- Mama Mia is out. It's like gay Shark Week. There is no sleep. -- nm - con_carne Jul 20, 09:45 7
  - Mamma Mia is proof that it's in humanity's nature to torture ourselves. -- nm - David Jul 20, 09:45 6
    - Here you go again..... -- nm - ty97 Jul 20, 09:47 5
      - Like a drifter, I was born to walk alone. -- nm - David Jul 20, 09:59 4
        
        Because we can always tie it back. Keep coming! -- (link) - MDH Jul 20, 10:08 [youtube] 3
        
        My shadow's the only one that walks beside me. -- nm - David Jul 20, 10:10 2
        
        ~I walk these streets, a loaded six string on my back~ -- nm - Strongbad Jul 20, 10:17 1
        
        Who wants to walk with Elias? -- nm - Qale Jul 20, 10:25
- Come to Butthead...... -- nm - Las Vegas Jul 20, 09:43
Ignoring the POTUS aspect for a moment, how does attorney/client privilege work when an attorney records something that the government legally takes? -- nm - David Jul 20, 09:34 18
- [deleted]
- Iinm, the Justice dept has a separate team review the materials so the investigators never see anything that might be privileged. -- nm - znufrii Jul 20, 09:47
- If it is truly privileged it is inadmissible and should not be seen by the investigators (and I assume if they see it and use the information to find -- (edited) - pmb Jul 20, 09:40 10 1
  - Just to see if I get this - if the recording is something like "Sure, send her the cash. Take it out of the campaign fund." - Johnny Lawrence Jul 20, 09:43 9
    - Basically, yes. Conspiring with a client to commit a crime is not privileged. But a client seeking advice for something they did, is. -- nm - pmb Jul 20, 09:45 8
      - Why would Cohen have "secretly" recorded it? -- nm - prayformojo Jul 20, 09:47 7
        
        To cover his own ass if his client later tries to claim they didn’t say something that they had. -- nm - znufrii Jul 20, 09:48 6
        
        Gotcha. Thanks. -- nm - prayformojo Jul 20, 09:51 3
        
        It’s an important safeguard when your client is a pathological liar, among other things. -- nm - znufrii Jul 20, 09:57 2
        
        and it's legal to do that? -- nm - prayformojo Jul 20, 10:01 1
        
        Eh? -- nm - znufrii Jul 20, 10:08
        
        Yep. Don can't say Cohen acted on his own if he's on tape telling Cohen to act. -- nm - TWuG Jul 20, 09:50 1
        
        And then there's just the possibility he wanted leverage over Trump in case he needed it in the future. -- nm - pmb Jul 20, 09:53
- I'm guessing it's fruit from the poisoned tree and therefore inadmissible? -- nm - LMS Jul 20, 09:36 4
  - But isn't that the entire point of getting a warrant to search someone's home? The police are seeking incriminating evidence. -- nm - David Jul 20, 09:38 3
    - My guess is that if the recording contains evidence of a crime that both the client and lawyer are involved it, it won't be considered privileged - TWuG Jul 20, 09:42
    - I need to see if there's an episode of The Good Wife that covers this! -- nm - LMS Jul 20, 09:40 1
      - 😜 -- nm - David Jul 20, 09:42
pfm - got 56 of the 72 helmets. That was hard. nm - Johnny Lawrence Jul 20, 09:31 1
- *brushes off his shoulder* 70/72. I messed up on the assorted wolves. Assorted Wolves is a great name for a band. -- nm - Baron Starr Jul 20, 10:08
on a positive note, at least we know Trump kept his lawyer plenty busy. - groiny Jul 20, 09:28
Pacific Rim is on it too now. -- (link) - MDH Jul 20, 09:25
