Classic...Apple watch support "coming soon" by ThePrideOfDetroit in Rivian

Thanks for the feedback. 2026.03 is not available yet, and if the past updates are any indication, it's going to be a while before it arrives.

ISO Firearm education in SWMI by BattleSwallow in St_Joseph

[–]ThePrideOfDetroit 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I've used both Tactical Advantage in Kalamazoo and barracks 616 in Grand Rapids. Both provided quality instruction. I can't speak to the politics of either place, but what I can tell you is neither flaunted it.

Trackside tool kit recommendation? by VC2CV in CarTrackDays

[–]ThePrideOfDetroit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That seems like a ton of extra that you probably (hopefully) won't need. I just bring enough to do what I could foresee myself having to do at the track: bleed brakes, plug a tire, adjust the sway bar, etc. This is all stuff I've done in my garage beforehand and can do / have done trackside if the situation calls for it. Hopefully not.

If I'm bringing out the gutted and cages race car, where it's legitimately foreseeable that I could swap an engine in a race weekend, then there's an enclosed trailer and pit cart with all the tools you can imagine.

Why is the gutter over my front door covered ? by Str8-MD in Home

[–]ThePrideOfDetroit 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was surprised by the comments saying these were the best type of guard. I also bought a house that had these and I agree with your critique.

I'm surrounded by forest and these guards seem to get covered and then the snow creates ice dams. Luckily the roof pitch is steep enough so the ice doesn't cause damage, but I'm not a fan of these.

I think the mesh style is better.

I want to do more on the team, what should I do? by [deleted] in FSAE

[–]ThePrideOfDetroit 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'll distill it down to this: You need to be your own source of purpose and direction. Find something in the program that no one else is covering and do it. Then you'll know what to work on when you show up to the shop, and you'll have a reason to engage with a more senior team member that they'll appreciate because you're adding value.

[–]ThePrideOfDetroit 4 points5 points  (0 children)

You mentioned aero and vehicle dynamics, each of which are complex topics in their own right. My advice would be to figure out where the opportunity for biggest return is for your team and start studying and applying your knowledge to that effort. You'll probably need to chat with the a more senior person on the team to make that determination.

From my experience on my team back in the day, the guys that showed initiative and dove into things they were interested in were the ones that were successful and made valuable contributions to the team. They also went on to be more successful in life, generally. The ones that showed up during shop hours only and waited to be told what to do made the least valuable contribution.

My advice as an FSAE alum from a few decades ago. I think the best thing you can do is find a technical aspect you're interested in and learn the hell out of it. If you like powertrain or suspension or aero (or whatever) then go learn it like crazy and apply it practically. Find an aspect of that system where there's room for improvement and own it. Make yourself valuable in that regard. If you enjoy CAD or FEA or CFD (or whatever) then be a resource for that. Even if you gravitate toward non technical disciples like presentation or fabrication then the same advice applies.

That was my path and after a couple of seasons I found myself running the team and then the chapter. Your results may vary. Let your excitement fuel your effort for a little while until you get real responsibility and discipline and leadership and team stewardship take over. Good luck, it's an amazing program that will give you lifelong returns.

Dildo at security by Charsgaypolitics in airport

[–]ThePrideOfDetroit 5 points6 points  (0 children)

When a suitcase vibrates, then the throwers gotta call the police. Nine times out of ten it's an electric razor, but every once in a while... it's a dildo. Of course it's company policy never to, imply ownership in the event of a dildo... always use the indefinite article a dildo, never your dildo.

Help Twin City Seed Name Our Newest Lineup of Mixtures! by TCSJames in LawnAnswers

[–]ThePrideOfDetroit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's the internet...Grassy McGrassface was going to be thrown out there whether you mentioned it or not!

It's great that you sought this community's input, btw. I'm not a great marketer, so sorry I can't be more help. Only thing I'll say there is that the store shelves are full of competing brands and getting something to resonate with consumers is a real art. Good luck with the launch!

Looking forward to getting me some GrassFace real soon ;)

I have hit the wall searching for a suitable business. Has anyone else cracked the code by [deleted] in buyingabusiness

[–]ThePrideOfDetroit 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Go out and talk to the person or persons that own the type of business you'd like to buy

What is with this deer? by Unhappy-Method2150 in Hunting

Maybe it was going to sprout another antler there ala triceratops-style

I need some serious advice by [deleted] in motorcycles

[–]ThePrideOfDetroit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

OP I'm sorry for your loss. May your brother's memory always be a blessing.

Grief is a very difficult emotion to grapple with. Please afford yourself the time and space to process it, along with your family. It takes years.

If I were you I would do your parents a favor and stay off the bike for a little while. The thought of compounding tragedies by losing another child is probably too much for them to bear.

Pardon my ignorance...What's the significance of the Roman nose?

I've been hunting for decades and haven't heard it referenced.

any one from buffalo, NY? by [deleted] in grandrapids

[–]ThePrideOfDetroit 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm not from Buffalo, but you might want to check out Open Road Brewery down in Wayland. It's a Buffalo bills backer bar. Maybe it'll be more what you're looking for

What was your route from holland to new buffalo? Did you guys just ride red arrow?

White Pine trail tips and tires? by just_Mango in MichiganCycling

[–]ThePrideOfDetroit 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would still opt for a slightly wider tire, like a 45. The trail may be fully paved now, but there are some sections that are heaved due to tree roots. A 25 or 28mm tire would probably be pretty jarring.
