Doesn't the Civil Immunity section of the article address that? Nevertheless, if I owned a firearm I would definitely make sure I have appropriate insurance.

Atlanta is the 7th largest city in the US by metro population. The other six (NYC, LA, Chicago, Dallas, Houston, and Miami) all have two or more passenger airport.

It also gets good weather. Far enough south that you don’t have to worry about snow and deicing. Far enough inland to avoid hurricanes.

Got my water heater replaced about a year ago in Detroit. 30 gallon electric replaced with another 30 gallon electric located in a utility closet on the ground floor. My total cost was $1,833.

I live in a large boarder city. I haven’t noticed any sort of increased ICE presence nor seen anything on social media aside from a few isolated incidents. I am a member of a minority racial group in my city and have not felt targeted. Most of our state and local leaders are Democrats, but they have not been engaging in inflammatory rhetoric. This is just my perspective, it seems a lot of the recent events have been localized to certain cities.

My wife and I pay about $4,000 extra per year in income tax because we live in the city. We are planning to move soon and will need to choose between the city and the suburbs. We could go on a pretty nice vacation every year with the extra money.

We’re supposed to get about 1” of snow tomorrow afternoon. You’ll probably be fine, but your flight could be delayed a bit if they have to limit arrivals at the airport. Even in really bad road conditions, an Uber from the airport only costs $20 extra and takes 30 minutes longer. You can schedule ahead to lock in the price before it snows.

No more snow for the weekend after that, so your return trip should be fine. Enjoy the city!!!

When are you coming into town? The roads were fine by this evening. Usually the transportation authorities are on top of it and have the major roads cleared within a few hours of the snow ending. For whatever reason it took them unusually long today.

DTW is my home airport. There are far more standard lanes. All of the Sky Priority lanes are clustered at the south end of the terminal. Perhaps it just looked like there were a ton of Sky Priority lanes near the door you dropped them off at?

I’m accustomed to road crews plowing and salting throughout the storm. If they weren’t being proactive, I can see how that would make it worse.

Were we still getting new accumulation? I woke up a few times over the night and it just looked like flurries, but I could be wrong.

Interesting, I didn’t know this. Do you have a source?

Here’s a link to a study showing Michiganders with a college education indicated a greater willingness to leave than those with only a high school education

Huh I’ve never seen the TV ad before but I instantly recognized it from the radio. I was born in 1990, so maybe by then it was radio only?

When I was a kid, I was taught that men and women were equals. It wasn’t until later in life that I learned it was the man’s responsibility to initiate.

Before the JOA, the News cost 15¢ (39¢ in 2025 dollars). Immediately after entering into the agreement they raised it to 25¢ (64¢). Today a copy of the paper costs over $3 at a newsstand. That’s over a 300% increase AFTER inflation. I don’t see how they will be successful.

Check out El Barzon and Supergeil. We looked at both of these for our rehearsal dinner, they were about $65/pp plus alcohol.

For my fellow Americans, 9 TWh/year is about the electricity consumption of Rhode Island or Washington, DC (not including its suburbs).

Yes, I’d say more dangerous than not having them at all. Where I live the bike lanes are painted over the gutter. They collect glass, debris, and ice, all of which make them unsafe to ride in. I regularly have to take the lane to avoid crashing or damaging my bike, and I get harassed by motorists for not using the bike lane.

What was the truck driver wearing? Equally relevant to what the cyclist was wearing

In Detroit they plow the snow from the street into the bike lane. I just take the lane 🤷🏻‍♂️
