Many vehicles that we used to consider an SUV are now CUV's based on car platforms.

There's a reason some companies stopped making sedans and smaller cars If they can't make a profit building them... then they won't build them. You don't just turn on a dime and convert a plant into something else. It costs billions.

That's my probem with it... and with a lot of what a friend of mine called "Productivity porn" apps. You spend more time figuring out how to make it do something than you could have spent just doing it. Obviously people are using it so what do I know. I guess I'm one of those dinosaurs I made fun of 20 years ago when it comes to tech.

as chas alluded to... in terms of the Catholic Church it can make sense. The ones who want to go back to the Latin mass and reject Vatican II are now seen as radical yet they are wanting to go back to the "good old days". I think Vance belongs to that type.

I don't know whether this is true for the others but for French Connection they didn't get a permit. They didn't block streets. So many of the reactions are legit.

I always take a day off in may and early October to just putz around yard. Move stuff around. Nothing that productive really. Just an excuse to be outside, cheaper than golf, and it makes me feel accomplished. Now I understand what my dad was doing.

I have an old external Western Digital HD that crapped out. My son left it plugged in over the break and I think it burned up. I took it out and got a SATA cable and tried that, didn't work. Ordered another one from Amazon, the kind that looks more like a cartridge, still nothing. No spinning or anything like i hear on another HDD from my laptop that quit working years ago. I ordered that second SATA from Amazon a few weeks ago knowing it probably wouldn't work but they make returns so dang easy I had to do it. TOok it back to staples, she just tossed it in this giant box behind her with other crap. I don't know where that stuff goes, maybe Marhsall's or Big Lots? The drive thing is a pet peeeve for sure. Nothing on there I really need but I know there's some old VHS transfers that I forgot to copy over to my "real" backup drive. I thought I did. So who knows what else is on there I forgot. I can't assume the mantra I tell my wife "If you aren't looking for it then you dont need it". I haven't looked in it in years. My son is autistic like and insists on having it plugged in to look at photos, that are already on the hard drive of his laptop, but what are you gonna do... and yeah, that laptop has had it's hard drive replaced as even he gets frustrated with wait time! Hence the "Don't hit Computer" label on it.

I found a setting in my MLB app that has 30 second delay for scoring change or end of game alerts. Last year I'd my watch buzzes with 2 strikes and 2 outs in the ninth.

Shawn Fain was slobbing all over Trump's nob yesterday

I will miss that while seeing the Wings go up 1-0 early then lose 4-1. Pretty sure twice in the last week I get the alert the other team scored, and when I almost immediately switch over, they've scored another!

But that's just a cover. He needs a W-2 for the Feds.

Fox2 just did a story on it and you could see the seats are in now. Doesn't look too different in my opinion. Just bigger seats.

I’m bummed a little but I also don’t mind missing a 2-0 loss where Skubal gives up 0 runs over 6.

For temps you just “double it and add 30” to convert.

Of course I got Red Wing Tickets tonight 🙂 I think we're allowed to change the channel in the suites.

which the Tigers had nothing to do with. "The Tigers were the last team to do it..." Ony 2 teams did since the advent of color TV. It's not a big deal.

Remember Nick's mom? I do.

Do I have to guess who the 2 are?

When I did a tour of the Tigers clubhouse, maybe it was during a Tigerfest, on the bulletin board was a flyer for a prayer group or sunday chapel, along those lines, and it had Frank's name and his phone number. For hundreds of people to see that day. Andy Dirks hit on a friend of mine, back in his playing days, outside of a bar in Royal Oak. I know he's pretty religious now so I assume he wouldn't do such a thing now.

on the fringes of the conservative movement are people who think euthanasia will be an acceptable outcome for those who take too much from socieyt.

Like during confirmation hearings they will say some good things but eventually cave.

Jason Foley to Toledo

it wouldn't surprise me if he didn't know about it. He only ran again to stay out of jail. I truly wonder if they never charged him in the election and document cases if he'd have run.

Tony Paul's article said the team wanted a more uniform playing conditions, based on feedback from players and coaches. If that's true then fine. Why have something different than everybody else? If we are being honest it was kind of gimmicky. They put it in Tiger Stadium during the final few weeks and carried it over to Comerica. It's not like it's this grand tradition. This isn't the Green Monster.
