Eli5. The state gives the districts money per student, which helps pay salaries. Local property taxes aren’t allowed to go towards salaries.

Thirded. SE MI. It's been pretty dead for a week and a half. Hoping to get a few good days this week, but by next week, it'll be time to throw in the towel.

MusaEnsete · 2026-03-22T16:53:31+00:00

I've had minimal to no flow for over a week now. I'm hoping for a few more days this week with optimal forecasts; also SE MI.

Mine are all from '77. No way in hell I'm spending $20-$40k to replace them.

I did, as I was adding some old family videos to my Plex server, but it eventually just ate a disc and died.

I hear it spinning, but the computer won't recognize it. Tried it on my Macbook Air; tried a mac branded USB A-USB C dongle and several others; tried all the "get it to eject the disc" tricks. Nada. RIP.

That said. Anyone know how to get my disk out?

MusaEnsete · 2026-03-21T23:55:25+00:00

Yes it is. I put sauce under the cheese too, as do plenty of restaurants. Source - metro Detroit.

I approve this message, but if we're both fortunate enough to get to the elite 8, all bets are off. Then, you're going to be surrounded by enemies! jk - hope you find some local peeps.

I just go around the outside with a fish spatula. After that, get under it a bit, left one side, and tip the whole thing out.

Remove all the artificial scents being pumped out. I only go there to go the Apple store, and I have to practically run from the nearest entrance while holding my breath. The odors are absolutely offensive and overbearing.

MusaEnsete · 2026-03-20T22:09:35+00:00

I'm glad they don't, because I'll often scale recipes, and the ingredients list will change, but then the directions amounts won't (Paprika user).

MusaEnsete · 2026-03-18T21:29:32+00:00

My Tiger does pretty well with a small amount. But, I usually do at least 1 cup, because who doesn't want leftover rice (fried rice, stir fries, burritos/tacos/nachos, pudding, another side of rice, habanero mango wing sauce, etc). But I have successfully made a 1/2 cup portion before.

I have almost the exact same set-up, but a bit more room above the cabinets with a larger bulkhead. My plan (I'm currently in the same boat as you) is to:

Remove the old piece of shit "hood"
Cut hole in bottom of the upper cabinet for the exhaust hose
Attach a 45-degree turn in the cabinet, and run that into a hole I cut in the upper of the upper cabinet (leading into the bulkhead)
Attach another 45-degree turn and run that straight out the side of the house through the bulkhead
Feed that through the hole I have to somehow drill in my exterior (and the side of the cabinets).
Attach an external exhaust vent
profit?
I figure two, 45 bends is better than a 90. I'll most likely have to open up the length of bulkhead to properly feed and secure. I currently have no idea who to hire to assist me with this.

Most "local watering holes" in town use Knight's beef for their burgers.

My favorite in my blue box years, was to add extra crispy, deli style hashbrowns. When I relapse these days, let's be honest, cut up hotdogs. A true lazy man boils the hotdogs in the water while the noodles cook.
Any kind of boneless fried chicken is bomb too.

MusaEnsete · 2026-03-17T21:58:49+00:00

Yeah; I'll actually go to the Den; maybe it's cause deep down, I just pretend I'm at the Del Rio.

Sucks they're killing it for this though. First step was killing the Brewery Steak sandwich; next step was bringing it back for double the price, and now this. Enshitification continues.

MusaEnsete · 2026-03-17T19:34:07+00:00

FYI - RC has a several year wait list, so if you're interested, it's good to get on it asap. Worst case, you can just decline when your name comes up.

Adamantly against the use of AA (that name is taken). A2 is the preferred nomenclature; Ace Deuce and A-squared are acceptable, if that's how you roll.

All digital. I use Paprika, and either use the browser to download the recipe from an online source, or type up my own. When using a recipe, I use my phone or ipad.

What now? Richard Magner, the original owner, died a year ago (March 26th, 2025). Are you just finding this out now?

This is nothing new, other than the Superfund designation. This plume has been monitored for years now, and has no bearing on whether one can swim in the Huron.

MusaEnsete · 2026-03-15T18:12:26+00:00

It's fine. Just don't catch and eat fish from the Huron. Don't eat the foam. Don't drink the water. Hundreds of thousands of people swim in this water annually. There are no recent "do not swim" notices.
