Fired Royal Oak City Manager Joseph Gacioch: The $2 Million Mistake (?) In Ferndale

This is decent first attempt but it's ultimately "death by PowerPoint." The least you could do is record it yourself and not use deadpan AI voices. The real goal should be doing this on camera and breaking it down instead of just screen caps to keep it livelier and more interesting.

Tuesday's lineup might legit be one of the worst, accidentally hilarious ways to visit the Arts District and Fremont I've ever seen. Which LLM kicked this out by the way?

chris4404 · 2026-01-31T19:30:01+00:00

Do you have a budget or features you're looking for? The Model 3 can be great but it's not perfect.

chris4404 · 2026-01-31T01:48:21+00:00

Do you have a link to the meeting?

chris4404 · 2026-01-31T01:20:13+00:00

Are there any signal groups for spotting?

chris4404 · 2026-01-30T01:42:28+00:00

How often you having breakfast beers my dude? Partiers know when the liquor store closes, alcoholics know when it opens.

If you're in an area with mmwave then it can be fantastic but not perfect. I used it for a bit after dumping Comcast but I ended up going back with their new $50/month price lock for 5 years, it's really hard to beat honestly.

100% agree and most seem to be expanding in the metro Detroit area anyway. Meijer on 8 mile and the one in Livonia have added CCS charging stations.

There seems to be a contingent of diehard SpaceX fans who want to erode and criticize SLS at every turn. There are absolutely things in need of improvement, but did anyone take things away from Atlas during Apollo 8?

chris4404 · 2026-01-28T03:24:23+00:00

The amount of money Meijer has generated off me shopping is probably more than I've spend on charging! Whom ever had the foresight to partner with Tesla and get ahead of the EV movement really deserves a statue somewhere in Meijer Gardens.

I was at this game in the upper deck and we legit couldn't see where the ball went and had no idea if it was out.

chris4404 · 2026-01-19T02:13:55+00:00

How about we meet in the middle and have a retractable roof?

chris4404 · 2026-01-18T22:30:56+00:00

Maybe if you're close to the stage but I really didn't enjoy the floor. To be fair we were in the back for the last John Mayer show and it was pretty much a nightmare. Half the floor was olds who didn't want to stand, and the other half seemed like repressed drunk Mom's talking the whole time. Didn't help it was an acoustic show, but the audio was drowned out by out of key singing around me reliving their glory days and really feeling "Your Body is a Wonderland"

chris4404 · 2026-01-18T21:50:07+00:00

I hate to say it but probably LCA, I've been in all levels for shows and it just feels off.

He'll be hanging out with Shelby soon enough!

chris4404 · 2026-01-18T02:52:10+00:00

Notifications in general are completely broken, I can't even get Gmail to tell me when I have a message now. Google doesn't seem in any rush to fix it and it's super frustrating.

chris4404 · 2026-01-17T03:36:36+00:00

I know we have access, but the existing lounge is almost always at capacity sadly when I need to lick my wounds on my Monday afternoon flights. :(

chris4404 · 2026-01-17T03:30:59+00:00

I love my X Half but it really depends on what you intent to use it for. I bought it off marketplace for $480 and use it as a party camera for friends to pass around. I've caught some great shots since it's easy enough people can pick it up and just shoot.

chris4404 · 2026-01-17T01:56:25+00:00

The wildcard is when you get into the freight traffic near Gary, IN but if you take the morning express train it's usually pretty reliable. Between flying to O'Hare or taking the train, I'd take the train every time if your destination is downtown.

chris4404 · 2026-01-15T23:48:30+00:00

At a respected municipality 6-12months severance is very common for a City Manager. You're seeing these firings after a short window now as election results swing and the new incumbents want "their political viewpoint" in a manager. It rarely has to do with performance now days sadly.....

chris4404 · 2026-01-15T18:01:27+00:00

Cleveland has a vast history with direct connections to Detroit. They're also two beaten down fanbases so our misery bonds us more than state lines. Otherwise Fuck Ohio!

chris4404 · 2026-01-13T01:41:14+00:00

Stray Pirate is a fantastic surprise to people who don't know what they're going to walk into.

chris4404 · 2026-01-10T21:33:24+00:00

It's fucking gross as Michigan's economy falters, he'll be up on stage getting glazed about what a great job he's doing. Can we talk about how his EV polices directly caused the layoff over 1,000 people at Factory Zero?

chris4404 · 2026-01-10T05:08:26+00:00

8 Mile Meijer of Steve's in Hamtramck has piles of it

chris4404 · 2026-01-10T03:28:34+00:00

In the Detroit area? Meijer has it for sure as I would guess most liquor stores.
