Ryan Ermani mentioned this on Fox2 this morning, acting like it was "almost done". I'm not saying that to give it legitimacy. I'm saying it to point out what an absolute tool he is. @AlaskanTigersFan this isn't meant as a jab at you at all. But a TV anchor with a large audience should absolutely know better than to flout internet rumors by one person. So now random Fox 2 viewers who are casual sports fans think Tarik Skubal's about to get traded.

I didn't know street cred was a thing for internet people. This reminds me of the guy who "broke" the Rick Carlisle story and has been riding high on that ever since, and been wrong ever since.

I don't discount the value in that. But if there's a bidding war for him and he's intent on getting the absolute most then I don't see how the Tiges can compete with the deep pockets of other orgs and I don't want them to do that. I won't hold it against them or call them cheap. I don't need my team to have the most expensive Non Ohtani player.

Realistically... how many more years of CY caliber performance does he have left? He's already won 2 in a row. Do you think he's a Max/JV type or a Corey Kluber/David Price type? I say ride him out next year and make a fair offer and if he goes, he goes. God Bless and thank you. This org, if they are as good as they say, should be able to produce what Tarik Skubal would be by the time he's 32 ro 33. Do you really think at that age he's going to be as good as he is now?

It never occurred to me that a font was “woke”.

Seems like every city around me has a data center proposal in the works.

The Tigers by definition can’t make him a competitive offer because he’s not a free agent yet. You can’t really blame them or whatever for not signing him to an extension. Until other teams can counter an offer then a deal isn’t competitive. The market last year or this year is not the market next year.

I think it does. The idiots on twitter who listen to too much radio make dismissive comments beyond his performance. “Scotty boy”. “Haircut”. Stuff like that. They thjnk he’s weak and timid. Most of them are overweight pretend jocks who think they are teasing the nerd in high school.

TP Stands for Toilet Paper, right? That's what I think every time I see it.

Are there any POBO's or GM's in today's game that did not go to college? It's not 1965 anymore.

THose people are reached via TikTok and the Joe Rogan's of the world.

What’s funny is I thought “Carlos Delgado was on a ballot??? It never dawned on me he’d be considered”. Then I looked up his stats and he was actually better for a longer period of time than I remember. . Not saying what you said isn’t true though.

A17 was the only nighttime launch of a Saturn V. one minor correction on that thing from Bluesky, what do we call them? It wasn’t the last Apollo mission. It was the last Apollo lunar mission. There was the Apollo Soyouz Test Project mission with the soviets. And the Skylab flights are officially considered Apollo missions.

It does remember. Ask it what it knows about you. I did that because when I was making those Sora videos, it referenced my hometown which seemed odd. “Chad”, which is what we call ChatGPT, didn’t know it. But it does assume my interests are things I have asked it about.

Yep. That’s the trick. Normalize the military hanging out in the cities asking peoole for their papers. Normalize snatching people away. Normalize killing people in boats. All in the name of “immigration” and “drugs”.

Off topic but GR is an untapped resource for people in metro Detroit. Went last year to see Nate Bargatze and what a cool town. A lot of the bands I follow will play there instead of around here. It’s close enough to not require an overnight.

I think of them as tags. They are paired. An opening and closing. { and } are an item. If you see { then another { then what comes next is linked to the second one and the info within. Then you just go back a level to stay on subject for the previous {. Sort of like parenthesis in a math equation.

I’m trying to figure out what Juneteenth and MLK Day have in common. Can someone help me out?

Great contribution. Thanks for posting this.

My first job out of college was supporting a VB based product where the main developer was self taught. It was kind of a start up. He put every bell and whistle into this thing. There were 4 ways to do everything. That meant 4 ways to break and 3 wrong paths to go down to fix it.

This is making the rounds today.

The main system I am responsible for just migrated off of VB. It was 25 years old. We literally couldn’t find people to support it. Our developers were in diapers when this system launched.

Well going by Trumps track record he’s due for a pardon, no?

Was the CBJ game on Hulu? I tried quickly to find it during Lions breaks but didn't see it on the "Trending" list. Last year I had a heck of a time finding their games on Hulu, I solicited support from them on Twitter. Finally found it. It wasn't showing up on the main menu on screen. On my phone it would but not the app thru Xfinity's box. When I went to the app through the Samsung TV, it was there.
