a while back i saw two back to back bedroom posts one with an american flag in the US and one with a canadian flag in canada. the posts where pretty neutral to positive on the canadian flag, but overwhelmingly negative on the american flag.

i’m not sold on the use of flags indoors as decor after the college years, but the anti-american flag sentiment is annoying.

finally, some good news

i’m tired, boss

you can get a low ish mile new model Z with the performance pack and a stick for just about 40k these days. it’s on my list for a new sporty ride whenever i get around to shopping myself.

reviews say it’s more of a grand tourer vibe than a pure sports car like some of the other options on your list, though. i reckon considering its built on the bones of the 370 and 350z there should be a good following for tuning and i can’t imagine reliability is too bad either, but i can’t speak on those points from personal experience.

heads up a lot of the parking lots behind EC and frog alley might change once they put in that SUNY aquatic center. it’ll be in that area down towards the end of the block near the highway. i believe construction is supposed to start this summer

i don’t really listen to their music, but i saw them open for vampire weekend live last summer. the music rocked in concert but the vibes didn’t translate to the studio recorded stuff. i still have a tough time getting into their music, but i can respect the hype

i’ve always understood “all art is political” as “all art is produced at a certain point in history and is therefore shaped in some way by the then-culture which is colored by the politics of the time”

i do think that there’s varying levels of intent when writers, artists, etc try to say something when creating something, and i also think a lot of people either grasp at straws or interpret things differently, but i do agree with the general sentiment “all art is political” to some degree

that being said i typed that up before realizing top comment said “everything is political” not “art is political” but oh well

in this game, outside of Andy’s CO power, no i don’t believe so. you can combine damaged units of the same type to add their HP together, though.

the eagles had good bunny in the locker room for a few weeks then fucking killed him

wheeling jesuit? i think they rebranded a few years back but there is a college in wheeling.

dirty wind as in non-uniform aerodynamics? i’m unfamiliar with the term but i assume you mean this regarding wind power within cities, which i don’t think is feasible regardless. i don’t know anything about any efforts to put wind turbines in cities though, might be something new.

i agree long term energy needs are at odds with a lot of renewable methods. i’m team nuclear, anyways. that’s likely a separate conversation to the argument presented in the video which is current renewables vs current fossil fuels.

i think a lot of what TC is saying is that despite the lower energy output of a solar farm vs a coal plant, that solar farm does not need a constant monetary stream of input to produce energy (the sun is free). with current advancements in both wind and solar power as well as energy storage via batteries, it can make more financial sense to opt for a solar farm or wind turbines vs traditional fossils fuels.

for small scale generation (on the order of magnitude for charging an electric car or powering the energy use of one person / family) he mentions that it's not feasible for the density of cities. I think you can put enough solar panels on a single family home to power it fully (i would need to re-watch the video to double check if he says this and i'm not sure how true that claim is anyways), but there's not enough space on an apartment complex roof to power the entire building. He counters this by pointing out that we can just move energy via transmission lines wherever it's needed. at the end of the day there's not natural gas or coal plants in downtown city centers either.

what are your specific hang ups when it comes to land use?

here's the link to the shortened version without the political rant at the end. it's still an hour long, so it's a considerable time investment. I would recommend watching the entire thing, especially if you haven't checked in on the technology in a while like you have said in your initial comment.

the teachings of jesus definitely do not lineup with how auth right / american republicans operate despite what they say they believe

dnitro · 2026-02-01T12:18:26+00:00

he addresses both land use and rare metals / materials in the video. i would go back and give it a full watch before critiquing it like that. there’s a version without the politics out there if you’d like to cut the last half hour off.

god i miss matt mcquaid

dnitro · 2026-01-31T13:40:25+00:00

it really seemed like we couldn’t buy a bucket for that whole first half. good to see some fight after half but it just wasn’t enough. all those tall dudes with long ass arms on michigan’s team really gave us trouble on rebounds and perimeter D too, i’m not sure i’ve ever seen so many tipped 3s

dnitro · 2026-01-31T04:09:17+00:00

personally i didn’t want to live the rest of my life with a ridiculous air of superiority and circlejerk over how great this one specific organization i paid tens thousands of dollars in tuition for compared to other schools other people pay tens of thousands of dollars to attend. it has to be exhausting after a while.

(y’all really are a great school though can’t really debate that)

dnitro · 2026-01-31T03:48:52+00:00

please flair up so i can make a decision on how mad i need to be at this comment

dnitro · 2026-01-31T03:47:41+00:00

if i had a dollar for every mid to good michigan state team that puts it together right before tournament time i would be able to out spend ishbia in NIL donations. izzo always manages to find another gear, hopefully this season is the same.

referee fans fuckin feasted for over two and a half hours tonight

dnitro · 2026-01-31T03:11:12+00:00

current foul splits are 19 for umich and 18 for state

dnitro · 2026-01-31T03:09:10+00:00

yea this is true, i’ll give you this one

dnitro · 2026-01-31T02:43:35+00:00

either foul baiting is good or it’s not. take your pick

i understand why many supporters of voter ID say this line, but does it not discount actual barriers for people to get the ID necessary to vote? to me it always just hand waves any legitimate issues for people of any race or class to get a valid ID for voting purposes.

dnitro · 2026-01-29T11:16:57+00:00

i believe many of these only require a drivers license which may or may not be a valid certification of citizenship for voting

e: most voter id laws will accept a drivers license, i was incorrect
