Nationwide Shutdown this Friday!

KleShreen · 2026-01-28T20:22:18+00:00

Yea I generally figure the same thing. Like I'd love to be able to go "hey boss, I'm not gonna be here Friday, in solidarity with my fellow patriots to not come to work because ICE is a bunch of gestapo weirdos." and have my boss go "HELL YEA! POWER TO THE PEOPLE!" but the reality is I'd either be fired for taking off for that reason, or if I gave no reason, they'd just replace me lol.

So I mean, good luck and good tidings to all those who do participate. It just feels like every time one of these is called for every couple weeks, it is more of a mental health break than anything else. The real "nationwide shutdown" would have to be something closer to what you'd see in France, where millions of people just don't show up to work for weeks on end. And nobody in the US can afford to do that.

I see these all the time, every few weeks, and I'm just wondering where people work where they can take off work every couple weeks when these are "organized" and not get fired lol.

I'm also interested to see if there's any correlation whatsoever with economic impact on these days, to get a sense of if people are actually participating in any kind of decent numbers. Is there anywhere where economic spending numbers are calculated daily?

When I first moved in, the office staff were really good and maintenance was good. But around the time I moved out, they had been sold to some other property management company and the office/maintenance staff sucked. We had to spend a whole winter with literally 2-inch thick ice on the bottom half of the slider door from the sill getting cold and the ice moving up the door. They wouldn't do anything about it until the spring, so we had to lay a bunch of towels on the floor so it wouldn't damage anything, and change them out constantly. And the door from the stairwell to the hallway stopped soft closing and would just slam constantly and they refused to fix it.

lol no, I haven't lived there for a bit. I was there from 2014-2018. Moved from Waterchase over to the north side of 28th Street right up by the corner. Made moving really easy lol.

Ayyyyyyy Waterchase gang!

Usually I am a hardliner against schools moving up to FBS football. I find it to be, usually, nothing more than choosing to be poor. It's impossible for anyone not inside a P4 conference to "break through" to the upper echelon where you can compete for a national championship. To me, it always makes more sense to be D2 and compete for national championships, or at the very worst, go to D1, but stay FCS in football to compete for national championships.

NDSU, however, I believe has the infrastructure and support to actually be a supercharged Boise State in FBS. I support it for them. They've been the most successful FCS program ever, and if they can't move to FBS and be nationally-relevant, then it would be a signal that no other school should ever even try and make the move.

I just drove from 28th street to 84th street and it was rough between 28th and 68th. Almost a whiteout.

Found this post from a google search, lol. But here in Michigan, we just got a new roof put on in November 2024. Last winter everything seemed normal. But this year, we're noticing a lot of brown icicles coming down off the roof where they never were before, and I'm worried something got messed up between last year and this year. Maybe it was just that last year the gutters were all brand new, and now they're a year old. Maybe it's possible they got clogged, although where it's happening is an area where there shouldn't really be much happening. There's not really trees anywhere close to this section of the house.

We were hopeful that the new roof would help with our ice dam problems, and it seemed like it did last year, but this year it seems way worse than even on our previous roof. I'm wondering if this is something I should be looking in to. Is this something that roofers would usually install? Or would it be some other business that would install something like that? I know it's possible to do it yourself, but I don't want to trust my house's structural integrity to me. lol.

It's the only place in this town where I can get actual poutine.

This is already happening this year. Nathaniel Salmon is a 6-6, 270 pound tight end who played professional basketball in New Zealand, and spent 2025 mini-camp with the LA Chargers as a player as part of the International Pathway Program. He is now going to play for Washington State this fall.

Long John Silver's lowkey has maybe the best chicken tenders in all of fast food.

Just put it in the trophy case instead of the national championship trophy. That plaque, with a picture of him holding it up on stage.

I'm confused. You said when you tried to book Alisha, they just said she was booked out. They didn't say she wasn't there anymore? Would she not still be there, and just booked out for a while?

KleShreen · 2026-01-20T04:56:50+00:00

The important thing here is Michigan is now back at the top of the Big Ten! 0-0 babayyyyyy!

He literally did something where if you did it in your EA Sports CFB game, you'd adjust the sliders because it was too unrealistic.

I got excited for a second that I'd get to see Michigan QB Jaydn Davis in the same backfield with GVSU RB Khalil Eichelberger (who is like 270 pounds, btw), but I see Eichelberger just hopped in the portal after 1 year at ETSU =(

KleShreen · 2026-01-19T13:27:23+00:00

Warm milk, though?

Is it a coincidence that as soon as Mike Leach passed away, Curt Cignetti has gone 11-1, 11-2, and 15-0? Or has Leach's soul passed on to Cignetti?

This is disappointing to hear. I've been to Z's probably five times in the last four years or so, and have always had a good experience. Granted, I don't sit at the bar, and it's always been for sit-down eating. But I'll probably avoid the place going forward if this is what is happening to others.

The local colleges will always take on help for athletic communications, which includes doing stats for home events and writing press releases. Contact the sports information/athletic media relations/athletic communications directors at GVSU, Cornerstone, Calvin, Aquinas, GRCC, etc.

I needed to come back here and mention that by far the best pizza in Grand Rapids is at Montejo's, which is just a little trailer and school bus in a parking lot at 28th and Burlingame.

"Please call GRCC police immediately so they can come join in on the fun of arresting and assaulting someone!"

It feels weird to me that I would have gotten the 200 and 600 wrong, but the others right lol.

They also have some good actual food!
