  1. So you get it from being a season ticket holder? With the Tigers we do. I assumed that was a league thing.
  2. I hope it goes to $6 a gallon. I can afford it. I want all those dip****s who complained about egg prices in Oct ‘24 to suffer a little.
  3. Yes. Basically what you are paying for now is to watch all baseball except the local team. That would be true in any market. If you want to watch a local team you have to pay them either thru a cable/satellite provider or directly if the team has that service.
  4. The audio on this game is weird to me. It’s like a constant dull roar that’s muffling Daniels and Murphy. but a nice surprise to fill my post work power nap between 2:30 and 3.
  5. Detroit SportsNet sounds like something that would have been created in 2003.
  6. One of my favorite bands did a tour a few years ago where they covered it... It was fantastic. Sometimes I think it's best to hear someone else do it because the original version is too familiar. In college we did the Wizard of Oz/Dark Side of the Moon thing. It was fun and does work for awhile... but man... I wanted to know who the stoners were that found that. I wish I could have been in the room.
  7. People still refer to the Far Side of the Moon as the "Dark side". There is no dark side. There is a side of the moon we never see because of it's rotation relative to ours. But it gets sunlight. It's one of those things if I hear it, I let it go. I don't like to be the "well actually...." guy.
  8. Awesome. Stick with it. Being in a group setting can be a game changer. We call that format a pyramid and we never seem to get thru them all. But we will have 6-7 exercises and do either 1 to ten reps then backdown or 5-10-15-20-15-10-5. The transition is considered cheap cardio.
  9. Cracking up at GI Joe here pretending to “know what it takes”.
  10. Not impressed.
  11. Ok. Mr “I switched my party vote after they picked the black lady”
  12. When ya gotta post Portnoy to make your point…. You’ve lost.
  13. Are the numb nuts on the right ignorant to the fact the Ayatollah is a title and not a person?
  14. I wish we had the old board. I always had it on my to do list to track my “progress”. I do know I shifted after Sandy Hook. When I saw the response as the canned NRA talking points I knew I was different.
  15. I always thank retail and food workers as a remnant of the covid days when they were the few dragged into work while others like me stayed home. I wanted to let them know I appreciate their work. Then it just evolved to a general appreciation for everyone. All jobs are worthwhile. I’m no better than the guy cleaning trash. I get paid a lot of money but it’s not critical. The bus driver that takes my son to flint every day? That’s critical and she probably makes 1/3 of what I do.
  16. Went to a rough riders game there. For like $20 I you get a good seat and all you can eat sodas and burgers/dogs/chips. Told my sis and bro in laws that if I lived there I would be a season ticket holder. They’re in McKinney. But I get it. It seemed like a manufactured destination.
  17. I will admit to my own opinions shifting somewhat but it was also heavily influenced by the turn the party made. I always wonder where I would be today if someone like Rubio had gotten the nomination in ‘16.
  18. Dallas is nice but like LA it takes so long to go anywhere. Once you are outside of the downtown area it's like the Novi/Northville area times 2000. Miles and miles of subsdivisions and shopping centers. Hit a main artery and you'll see a center anchored by Lowe's. Then the next light a center anchored Costco. Then a center anchored by their grocery chain. Repeat for miles. No charm or character. And they shut down from June to Sept like we do in the winter. When I was there i had to cycle through 3 shirts a day.
  19. They only back the blue when they beat up and kill liberals and brown people. When they investigate right wing bad guys and girls...well it's the deep state then.
  20. You have to be stupid to be a republican.
  21. I get so tired of hearing "No problem" and "I got you". I know it's generational and that's how they were taught... I prefer the "My pleasure" way. Saying "No problem" makes it sound like they did us a favor.
  22. The 25-54 demo seems outdated to me. That's putting me and my son in the same group. Outside of sports he's never watched "regular" TV since his Nickelodean days. Seems like for CBS Evening News you could change it to 50-54 and get 95% of that 4.4M
  23. NASA announces Artemis III will not be a lunar landing mission after all. It will have a 2027 target date and test 1 or more lunar landers in earth orbit, which is what Apollo 9 did. This is not surprising at all considering we don't even have a lunar lander yet. SpaceX is running into issues with theirs and NASA opened up the "contract" last year. An Artemis IV is now on deck for a landing. Artemis II is rolled back to the VAB to fix a leak and April is the earliest they can go.
  24. There is no unwritten rule. Posters can't be expected to keep track of the blocking habits of others.
