It’s sort of 3 and 1

Like, there’s no restaurant. It’s just him and a couple of guys in a rented kitchen

The food’s excellent. Really great fish. As good as many high end brick and mortars

I can watch videos about financing terms for bulk tuna purchases endlessly - call me weird.

Tried Kaisen Sushi tonight. The owner is doing some a ghost kitchen + heavy social media strategy - lots of fun videos about the nitty gritty of running a sushi restaurant - and doing a really nice job.

Aonishiki elevated to Ozeki!

I really hope this incompetent and unethical "Habba" person hasn't gone on to do anything of import.

NEW: An unanimous appeals court panel — authored by conservative Judge William Pryor and joined by Trump appointee Andrew Brasher — upheld a $1 million sanction againt Trump/Habba for filing a "frivolous" lawsuit against Hillary Clinton

Me: The Colorado Appellate Rules are a direct analogue to the FRAP, I wonder why they're not just called the Colorado Rules of Appellate Procedure?

I love old menus, but man is our food better.

Yes!

He’s said this for a long time and it’s closely related to what he thinks about tariffs (countries have only a certain amount of money and you’ve got to keep it inside)

Having said that I just saw someone recommend *chocolate* pecan and that is a full blown abomination

I'm so glad Thanksgiving food discourse is starting up on here.

PARR T to travel up to 250 miles from the Atlantic Coast. We cannot fathom how that is not permission to go upon the “ocean.” Parr can point to no New York decision that supports his strained reading of the contract. To the contrary, New York courts have consistently deemed vessels “ocean going” where their insurance contracts expressl

ALL HANDS ON DECK. The Fifth Circuit has issued another maritime pun.

Any list that does not include San Diego is not serious.

Look I haven't changed my mind about the possibility of Alice the Lawyer.

I recently read an order striking a deposition as a sanction where the lawyer taking the depo, upon hearing an objection, would shout extensively about the size of his verdicts as a way to shut up the defending lawyer.

Just, no thank you.

The life and joy must be squeezed out thoroughly from the lawyer before the sweet nectar of appellate practice can be offered.

Then, 4 years later, when trial comes around, literally none of the objections are of the slightest importance because they all get washed out in harmless error.

I was tangentially involved in one where they had to go to the federal magistrate judge on when lunch was going to be because they just could not agree.

I mean you gotta build up to that.

I read dozens of depos a year, they're all like this.

This is basically every significant deposition. "No one is yelling." "YOU'RE Yelling." "No HE'S YELLING"

"AAHAHAHAHAHAHAAH"

"Raffi I don't understand why you hate depositions"

Right! I mean I suppose there's some number that would work, but no one is handing that out!

True. If you gave them GLP1s for free, maybe.

If money made any difference you'd see some kind of higher rates in the european social democracies, which provide so much support for family creation, and in fact there's nothing. Zilch.
