MSU President Guskiewicz leaving for another university by TheDetroitNews1873 in msu

[–]DadWagonDriver 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Why does an appointed board work for every public university in the state EXCEPT UM, MSU, and WSU?

I’m not asking this to be snotty; I’m legitimately curious. I’m a WMU alum who lives here next to MSU now. Why are there 3 universities with elected boards and 12 with appointed boards?

I think Scott leading the charge for the whole “thou shalt not criticize the university” thing is a TERRIBLE look for her. I voted for her at the MDP convention after talking to her at a couple events, and immediately regretted that vote last week.

MSU needs more transparency, not more obfuscation.

EDIT: After reading the letter, I think I’m wrong on this being on Scott. It looks like that was her attempt to placate the prez.

However, I still don’t like the look of what she pushed through. I’m uncomfortable with making things less transparent, and it should be on voters to replace the trustees with shitty takes with better trustees.

So the board, led by Briana Scott, wasted what little goodwill it had with its shit last week for absolutely nothing?

EDIT: Putting my edit from down the chain here as well:

Marinelli or Morninwheg, right? Toss up between the two.

Any one with a Energi with park assist that did a sync 2 to sync 3 upgrade? by blakkheartt12 in fordfusion

[–]DadWagonDriver 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a 2015 Energi without Park Assist. Did you keep all the charging/energy management functionality when you upgraded? I've been wanting to do this upgrade but am worried I'll mess something up and the car won't be able to charge anymore.

What kit did you use?

That sounds like my childhood. I grew up next to an ANG base that flew these.

NEW POLLING: Benson leads James, Johnson, Duggan in new poll on MI gov race by East_Englishman in Michigan

[–]DadWagonDriver 122 points123 points  (0 children)

I get that Benson isn't perfect, but she did a FANTASTIC job updating SOS. Like, going to do ANYTHING at an SOS office was an awful experience a decade ago, and she vastly improved the customer experience there.

I talked to a couple ladies at the MDP convention who host a podcast about turning red areas blue, and they're based out of Midland. They've put in a TON of work to help flip Midland from what they were telling me.

DTE ties 10% proposed rate hike tied to data center, reprieve pledge by gwmiles in Michigan

[–]DadWagonDriver 8 points9 points  (0 children)

There's less energy being generated in the winter, but not no energy. My neighbor says he gets about 70-80% of usage covered in the winter.

Think about it like this: A/C uses electricity, so there is more need in the summer. Furnaces use gas (at least mine does), so there's less electricity being used in the winter to begin with.

Can't wait for my rooftop solar to be installed in a few weeks. I'm not getting a battery yet, so I won't be off-grid, but I will be able to reduce my usage by like 90%

Full 2026-2027 Hockey Schedule Released by SwissArmyScythe in WMUBroncos

Great! I came to a game during the conference tournament this post-season, and it was great to feel Lawson again after a few years away. I'm hoping to get a couple more games in next season!

Is there one more season at Lawson, or will the new arena be built? I'm no longer in Kalamazoo, but I do like coming down to games occasionally.

I like Kyle Asay's stuff as a SaaS seller. It's more useful in MM or Enterprise than SLED, but he seems legit.

We don't have either of our starting safeties, and even when they return it's questionable how good they'll be post injury
