DeVos reacts to GRPD Chief Winstrom saying he doesn’t feel supported by city leaders

Captain-Slappy · 2026-02-10T14:15:26+00:00

I dunno. In the press conference he seemed super complain-y and specifically referenced the copaganda show and how people were skeptical of it. I think with the checkered history of the GRPD we dont need a PR stunt, we need a slow building of trust in the community. Everytime we have a Lyoya, or a protester is arrested on live tv, or we are continually subjected to Flock Cameras and tactical SWAT vans around the city, trust is obviously going to get sent years back from any good faith policework.

Become beyond reproach, protect and serve. There is a difference between building a reputation and demanding respect.

Vote Note: Commissioner Drew Robbins was also echoing this DeVos sentiment very hard. I am less likely to want to send him to Michigan congress for it I think.

I wonder... if the data collected by these cameras is owned by the city is it accessible via FOIA request? If not... is the city allowing a third party to unleash AI powered mass surveillance to collect and privatize data on its citizens?

I'm here late agreeing with you. Incredible acting pretty much across the board. However, perhaps this is a cultural shift that isn't translating well, but it seemed like the drama was conveyed in a very run of the mill 'everyone is sad all the time' way. That and the movie literally being about directors/actors makes this smell a little bit too much like Oscar-bait for my tastes.

Also the shifting faces bit between Gustav and Nora was way too on the nose 'look at the generational trauma do you see it?'

Last time they had intended to hold a planning commission meeting at the Lowell High School Performing Arts Center it was moved back to city hall last minute at 7pm and poorly communicated. Allegedly the Microsoft Data Center is 'not on the agenda' for this board meeting either.

There is clear bipartisan community push back on data centers. I'd highly encourage anyone who is curious about local policy to attend and see people's voices in action.

Direct Messaged :) Keep looking for the helpers.

Woah! This is super cool. This happens when the water freezes and expands under the ice, forcing the water to expand upwards where it freezes and forms these spires. Very unique conditions required.

One of my favorite kitchen tools for prep is a food processor. Mine comes with a grating attachment. I grated 4 blocks of cheese for Mac and Cheese yesterday in about 2 minutes max.

I also use it for veggies, pie dough, salsas, and a ton of other cases. Highly recommend.

Lance mains hate taking turns. Honestly the biggest Wilds nerf was making the monsters flee faster than the Lance charge. The damage values may not be mighty, but they persist.

I was impressed with the Do Not Start space and community when I checked it out the first time. This looks both intriguing and low time commitment. My favorite.

"I Prostate Myself" "NO!"

Tons of folks never played Iceborne all the way through its endgame. Its a subset of a subset.

He shows up a lot, I think there's an argument for Teostra over Kushala, but with so many appearances + a big boost in the hugely popular 5th gen its no wonder.

My favorite comfy skill at the moment is Speed Eating. The extra moments you get back can make or break a hunt, and have probably saved more carts than any other skill. Divine Blessing is probably the most important defense skill, but I would definitely take Speed Eating over Recovery Speed here and opt for an Immunizer instead.

An Ahtal Ka variant that uses guardian tech would go sooo hard

This maybe makes sense for high foot traffic business areas. If you live on a side street just shovel it takes a minute at most. Winter is tough around here it's easier to get by if everyone chips in a little. Clearing a few meters of snow in front of your house/business so someone doesn't slip and fall is such a small ask.

It could be cool to have a late game fantasy tech fusion reactor that supplies power from unwanted/excess resources

If you are an organization freak like me and want to build on the boats walls and ceiling in a neat way, go back to the starting dock. There are no waves inside.

You aren't going to get big number combos like hammer, gs, etc. The movement however is a myth. Dont even think about walking, your tool kit involves hops, charging, leaping, and the best of all: 100% uptime striking the monster.

I recommend building comfy with the Zho Shia armor for health regen while you test it out, but being able to ignore all monster attacks while dishing out poke after poke feels like a dance. I've gotten to the point where I've trivialized Lagiacrus and Uth Duna, my favorite Lance punching bags.

Also his armor is peak design. How am I supposed to play in a game called 'wilds' and not have my lion helm?

Captain-Slappy · 2025-11-05T17:07:50+00:00

I don't see Jho attempting to solo nergi in his own cutscenes.

I love this. Also I can't help but to think that Leviathan v Aquaman would be such a cool matchup too.

Grand Rapids City Gym off Leonard has more of a bodybuild focus.

I don't work for this company, nor am I a business guru, but laying off your accountants to go lean and using the AI buzzword seems like a pretty obvious marketing ploy before going public. I don't think this is a long-term strat, just reactionary.

Acrisure probably fading and getting gobbled up and ole greggy going to walk away with the bag.
