He lives in Oakland. They got about an inch and a half, where he lives.crackberry wrote:Are you serious?! Where does he live?

It also snowed where I live (about 45 minutes from the Bay Area). I don't think it's snowed here in nearly 20 years.hermione0901 wrote:He lives in Oakland.

if an inch and a half of snow is stopping berkeley from handing out decisions I really don't know what to think. It's currently 12 degrees outside with a windchill temp of -2 and i'm still going to class!galahad85 wrote:It also snowed where I live (about 45 minutes from the Bay Area).

californians can barely drive in the rain (as evidenced to me today). we don't stand a chance against even the slightest bit of snow, trust me...cougit wrote: if an inch and a half of snow is stopping berkeley from handing out decisions I really don't know what to think.

man up bears.
...just kidding. I'm just jealous that low forties and wet snow is considered "freezing."
I was walking down the Embarcadero near downtown San Francisco around 1:30pm and had little snowflakes all in my hair. It melted once it hit the ground, but everyone was really excited. I've lived in the Bay Area for 14 years, and this was the first time I've ever seen snow in SF.crackberry wrote:Are you serious?! Where does he live?

+1. Snow = public emergency around here.

A client asks you to write a brief on the legality of something.VoidSix wrote:I like how you correct someone's grammar and then use the word "Orly?" Interesting.Danneskjöld wrote: Orly? Link please for one charge being brought against him, anywhere?
Or did you just hear some random comment or read some non-legal journalist hack's opinion about someone saying something about John Yoo and you think you know more than you do?
Either way, Yoo didn't do anything illegal, but that doesn't mean he isn't an idiot. All torture is good for is making people confess to crimes they didn't commit. To defend someone's right to engage in a practice that is damaging not only to individuals, but arguably to national security as well, makes someone a grade-A dolt.
I agree; it's perfectly possible to be an excellent teacher, lawyer, politician, anything else while being a wretched human being. The reverse is also true. Which is why I don't mind that Berkeley has chosen to keep him, nor would I mind if they chose not to keep him. You can make an equally compelling case for both positions.bilbobaggins wrote:I think that's true and that's fine, but it doesn't speak to his teaching or his abilities as a lawyer.
Also - It's Sub 40 right now on my outdoor thermometer. FML.

It isn't unusual at all to get cold snaps on the west coast. They can happen anywhere North of Big Sur really. We are on a weird ocean current which makes the coast of Washington and BC warmer than it should be, geographically speaking, and the coast of Central to Northern California colder. Also, summers in the Bay Area can be foggy and rainy. The weather is a bit like Southern England, it does get nice, but it's no guarantee.
But who am I kidding. IF I get into Michigan and not Berkeley, I'll be somewhere with real winter.
Who ARE you kidding? I travel to SF every 6 weeks for business...the weather in the Bay area is nearly the polar opposite. Hence the reason the Bay area has such different indigenous trees and hits 75 in October and averages 55-60 through December/January (if not higher).daesonesb wrote:I'm on the west coast myself, albeit Washington... but our weather isn't that different from the bay area's really.
