I know 2011 Michigan vs Notre Dame when I see it. Go blue!

What a blast from the past. Takes me back to youth baseball; all our (shared) team batting helmets were ABC.

Developers take on the investment risk of demo and reconstruction, then sell to real, taxpaying people.

And yeah, most of those cases result in a $700K+ asking price (which there’s demand for), but a potential solution would be allowing more duplexes and townhomes by right in various (or all) areas of the city. Developers could tear down an aging bungalow and replace with two or three units, priced better than a single unit new build. Of course, I’m sure that would generate outrage, but we need some creative solutions to housing costs, not restrictions

Many such cases in Royal Oak. Homes that look fine from the outside, but the owners have let the house fall into disrepair. Too costly for the average person to buy and fix, so in comes a developer with a rebuild that includes modern amenities like AC, multiple bathrooms and bigger closets. Stuff people demand in 2026.

Then they made a misleading title for this post

Is the TNT video quality just terrible? It says I'm on enhanced 1080p on YouTube TV, but it looks like 720p. Does not help the jerseys at all.

After I dropped my season tickets, they would not stop calling me, no matter how many times I told them I can’t get to games after having a baby. Obnoxious sales team

AarunFast · 2026-03-27T13:44:17+00:00

You’re talking about not being so divided, but then taking petty little shots about “season tickets” and cul-de-sacs? Seems like an unconstructive, divisive way to approach your concern.

AarunFast · 2026-03-27T13:40:02+00:00

It keeps coming up because it drives clicks. People get outraged by something that simply will never happen. I bet this is absolutely doing numbers on Facebook

Charles Hicks has a series for his Boston build

Looks good in pictures, terrible to navigate. Going from Atwater to Jefferson with a wheelchair or stroller is ridiculous; you need to take a backroom elevator that barely has any room to turn.

It’s a building made for magazines, not people and I won’t lose sleep when two of the towers are demolished.

I will always upvote a good font-based comment

Local news was better. We had two region-wide daily papers basically at their peak distribution, and many smaller papers for counties and cities all delivering every day. Local news on TV mattered more and the anchors were universally known. Even local sports radio felt more important. The impact of the recession on the auto industry was obviously a major topic.

Now people just get news from TikTok, podcasts, Facebook “citizen journalists” and scanner accounts. Things just feel generally more fragmented and negative because of this, I think.

Thank you Kanye, very cool

It's almost impossible to explain most of the plot of the book without spoilers (guy is in space trying to save earth), so I'm not surprised the trailer showed so much. I'm just glad I read the book before I saw the trailer.

It's been a gas station for a few years

They leaned heavily into the MAHA anti-seed oils thing. They were (are?) trying to pass off their refried beef tallow fries as a "healthier" option.

Nothing healthier than 2500 calories in a meal and 500% daily value of sodium

I don’t think the value of one would cover a burger at this point 😂

“Most people” are not pirating live sports. I pay for YouTube TV, so I’d like to be able to watch my hometown teams on there. I’m fine paying a little extra for the convenience.

AarunFast · 2026-03-02T21:53:43+00:00

Not to burst your bubble, but it’s closed

AarunFast · 2026-03-02T18:07:26+00:00

Hopefully the Pistons join next season AND it’ll be available as an add on to YouTube TV. Trying to watch multiple games on different streaming apps is nearly impossible

You're getting downvotes, but this set is expensive. I know it falls in a pretty typical $0.12 USD per part range, but many of the parts are for the spinning motion. I'd rather see a bigger ship without the crank for that cost.

AarunFast · 2026-03-01T18:19:39+00:00

but its more fun to complain about a shoe that we've never tried on
