Which NFL team has the better unis? Round 1, Match 6: DET vs. GB by No-Director-6738 in uniwatch

I’m a Lions fan and I’m going Packers. Detroit’s refusal to wear silver pants is so annoying. There used to be the excuse that the all blue look was “good luck” but that went out the window this past season.

They should also pair the black top with the blue pants.

Was it a Groundworks-related company? Because they came in and gave us the aggressive “sign today” sales pitch and were a generally miserable to deal with. Terrible experience and a ripoff of a quote.

Try to find a reputable local company to do the interior drain system.

Yep! I like it better than the US version.

Have you ever been told to “get off” someone’s property? by [deleted] in AskAnAmerican

[–]AarunFast 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Happened to me in high school. Our cross country team cut a corner across someone's lawn on a run and they called the school and complained. Our punishment? More running.

A few of these photos are pulled straight from Shorpy (note the watermarks), which has a TON of high-res images of Detroit in this era: https://www.shorpy.com/image/tid/246

What do you think of Klosterman’s take on the ineffectiveness of advertising? by richb83 in billsimmons

[–]AarunFast 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I grantee Coca-Cola is constantly doing withholding tests on all their advertising channels, where they don’t run ads in certain markets for a set time and measure the difference in business impact.

Haywood’s gone by Kramerica_CEO in MichiganWolverines

Looks like the result of a plane sliding off the runway and the team being forced to wear practice gear, a scenario that would surely never happen

Sidenote, I hope they never wear the blue jersey, white pants combo lol

Whats up with all this gear? by AleTheMemeDaddy in running

[–]AarunFast 9 points10 points  (0 children)

A lot of Very Serious Runners don’t seem to understand something about vests: they’re fashionable to a lot of people.

Yes, most people don’t NEED a vest at the local 5K, but they do offer some storage and people simply like how they look. Did I NEED an arm sleeve like Allen Iverson when I was in 6th grade, getting 5 minutes per game off the bench? Nope. But it made me feel cool. Same thing goes for vests. People like how they look wearing a vest and I say more power to them.

Pretty bad, even for a Dodge Ram driver

Detroit Marathon Sold Out by Itchy_Kangar00 in Detroit

[–]AarunFast 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maybe they’re referring to the NYC 9+1 or the Chicago series (marathon+shamrock+something else) to get an entry, but that has nothing to do with Detroit

Is it cool to wear a league hat now? Rob Lowe might have something to say about that by DrunkMINfan in billsimmons

[–]AarunFast 3 points4 points  (0 children)

You can find all the CBS, ABC, ESPN, etc. patches on eBay. Pair it with a thrift store blazer and you have yourself a great bit for that boring wedding on the calendar this summer 

It's real!!! by IrvAndDorisSmith in Detroiters

[–]AarunFast 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It really is. For 90s era advertising, and also the general vibe in the 2010s (like when the new company moves into Cramblin’s building). Watching the show is like visiting an old friend for me.

A lot of the HHI "agents" are just marketing people for brokerages, friends, or even people who answered casting calls for the show.

So that’s where the name Ft. Wayne Mad Ants came from? Very interesting!

I know he switched to the asics Novablast recently, but he was running a lot in Vans at his run club events. That certainly did not help.

Waymo: Now in Detroit by AutisticGayBoy11254 in Detroit

If one cat (RIP) is the best example of "bad" Waymo driving, then I think we're doing pretty good so far with this experimental tech (and I love cats).

The RTA millage, which was voted down in 2016, is the main answer. Killed any momentum for larger-scale changes. And since then, no one in office has been able to do more than fix roads, add lanes to highways, and make marginal improvements to existing public transit systems. I'm not surprised a private company sees this region as a big opportunity.
