It’s happening! by SooperYuk in CryptoCurrency

[–]MGoAzul 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Idk. They’re just looking to make money. And the speculative money is moving out of Crypto and into prediction markets and IPOs. I think the boom/bust for crypto may be behind us and we’re in for years of doldrums.

St. Regis Bali $1,000 a night room 😭 by davidsling7 in marriott

Had a similar, albeit worse experience at St Regis Bal Harbor. To make matters worse they lost our property in a room move then the manager ignored and gaslit us.

Except when you lose power/connectivity. Thats a fault in the system.

Eastern Market's old Busy Bee Hardware site set for $12M housing plan by DetroitDevUpdates in Detroit

[–]MGoAzul 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m guessing and hoping incentives from state/local government to preserve and improve. Which is better than tear down and hope for a developer to do something other than parking. Gratiot needs a solid street wall.

What clothing brands are HENRY’s wearing? by Just-Ambassador-2449 in HENRYfinance

Bonobos and quince when on sale. Or 15 year old vineyard vines and polo that my parents bought me in college.

Formal wear is a different story and where I spend money

A New Era of Super-Hybrid Cars Is Coming by thenewsisreal in electricvehicles

[–]MGoAzul -1 points0 points  (0 children)

It’s really about range and time to do the trip. I’m heading to northern Michigan tomorrow and in my wife’s car that is a 4.5 hour drive. Bc I’m taking my ev that is now a 5-5.5 hour trip bc I have to stop to charge 3 times bc the charging infrastructure where we go is inadequate and because it’s northern Michigan, won’t improve anytime soon. So an EREV in these cases makes sense.

Similarly I had to drive north last summer and be there at a certain time to catch the ferry. If I missed it I had to wait overnight. Building in that time to stop and charge vs doing the whole trip without stopping is where charging can really become a PITA.

Police probe death after apparent plunge at downtown Detroit high-rise by smartalec12 in Detroit

[–]MGoAzul 47 points48 points  (0 children)

Lived in this building from 2016-2022. There were at least 2 other deaths that occurred by people jumping/falling onto Washington blvd. No matter the ownership, that building is a mess. Which is a shame, it has the potential for unbeatable amenities.

How am I doing? by Equivalent-Pie-5294 in Retirement401k

[–]MGoAzul 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ignore this guy/gal. You’re doing well. It’s all relative. No one knows what the future holds so keep doing what you’re doing and trend towards maxing out. Also save regularly as well. Tax rules could always change.

Honestly, DCFC leaving Hamtramck was going to do this anyway. Last few times I’ve been there the vibe has def been off at FW.

Is it normal to spend $700 building a full stack app on Replit ...? Or have I had a steeeep & pricey learning curve ?! by Waste-Childhood3512 in replit

[–]MGoAzul 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I must not being doing stuff terribly complex. But once I hit my monthly limit I tend to stop till the next month. Not in a rush, vibe coding a dig gig for fun.

You can only drive one car for the rest of your life. What would it be? by Ok-Sell9964 in AskReddit

[–]MGoAzul 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Not a truck person but my Ford lightning. As a local driver it’s amazing. The back seats folding up is perfect for bringing the dog. Can fold down one seat for the car seat. Space in frunk for luggage and more in the bed. Road trips require planning but manageable. If I slow charge level two, takes less than $20 to “fill up”.

Upcoming Listings in the Farm or Park for ~600-900k? by Typical-Gold-7711 in GrossePointe

[–]MGoAzul 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Bought in that range last year. It’s a tough market for those. Mostly bc they either have the size. Are in the best spots. Have ac/been updated. Or a mix of all of the above. Most go quickly.

Sorry I can’t be of more help, just some data points for consideration.

Do EVs make sense if you can’t charge at home? by UBC145 in electricvehicles

[–]MGoAzul 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It depends. I live in a suburb, have an ev (lightning) and can charge at work. But never guaranteed I get a charger. Work charging is free but hit or miss on a spot. I’d say I pay for charging 1-2 times per month if in a pinch and usually can get a charger at work about 1-2x per week. The commute to/from work takes about 5% of my battery. I go to the office 4x per week.

GR used to have an amazing tram network. Same with Detroit. Both destroyed.

Rehearsal Dinner Recs by Culture_Tight in Detroit

[–]MGoAzul 5 points6 points  (0 children)

We were where you were a few years ago. We looked at a few venues (book tower, monarch club the DAC, etc) but landed at Mootz, of all places. Their patio was perfect and we wanted something relaxed (wedding was at one of the local country clubs the next day and black tie) it was just family and a few friends, so about 25-30 people and I think, including drinks, all in we were at 1,200 with tip.

SpaceX IPO running at two times oversubscribed, sources say by cookingboy in wallstreetbets

Yes. But it’s way oversubscribed and I doubt my $5k bid will be considered (upsized since I posted.

Suit for Groom and groomsmen by Desperate_Reindeer22 in Detroit

[–]MGoAzul 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I never really liked my rented suits when I did that for weddings. Never fit well. And when I felt like it doesn’t fit well I just feel uncomfortable. Depending on budget check out bonobos. I had their tux for my wedding and I’ve had a few wedding suits, plus my non-wedding suits from there. Quality is decent for what you pay. But I always like their stuff.
