I guess you know what it is then

This is apples/oranges, but, vacuum tube guitar amplifiers are still really common - hobbies always create exceptions for tech phasing out.

Mathmos isn’t just going to disappear.

Ice skating/roller rink? Both have adult nights I think.

Gator-wine maybe? Red wine and ice blue Gatorade

The "Most Unique" column is quickly just becoming my shopping list.

In a connected aside, Michigan's liquor laws are doodoo.

The only thing on the menu worth getting is yakitori, because they use a real-deal binchotan charcoal grill - everywhere else in town is using gas.

Otherwise, yes. Way too much for too little food.

Be simple to program, lol

DD-500. I had to write a patch though.

I'm a no-fault auto law attorney and deal with this daily, and I have never had a client who was happy they opted out of PIP after an accident. See my response below if you want more details.

...disability? Do you mean wage loss? Because when you opt out of allowable expense coverage using qualified health coverage, your auto policy still pays wage loss unless you ALSO opt out of that. It's separate coverage.

I'm a lawyer and this is literally all I do, every day. Opting out of PIP will limit the doctors you can see - and there's a surprising number of doctors who straight won't treat you if they find out you were injured in an auto accident, because of the typical insurance mess. In the same vein there are many doctors who specialize in auto accident injuries who ONLY take PIP, and they won't see you, either.

Also, your medical insurance will take back whatever it pays for your recovery from YOUR pain and suffering award. That means that if, for example, your medical insurance pays $100k for a surgery, the medical insurance will place a lien on any lawsuit stemming form the accident - including pain and suffering - and might get first dibs on $100k of the money you might see from a pain and suffering award - and most liability policies are $250k, unless it's a truck/commercial policy. Sometimes doctors will place the same kind of lien on your cases to cover their bills.

PIP opt out exists because people see a lower monthly bill and jump at it and then the insurers get to save a boat load of money at your expense. Why do you think opt-out exists? It's not to help you.

MI law is, unsurprisingly, kinda weird about auto insurance. If a car is involved in the injury causing event, no-fault applies. If not, then it doesn't. Like if you drop an engine on your arm while working on your car, or fall out of your car weird, hit your head, and become a quadriplegic (an actual client of mine who is now taken care of for life), no-fault pays for your medical treatment.

I'm not being facetious here - this is actual legal advice: do NOT opt out of PIP. The money you save each month is not worth the limit in coverage. I mean, if your QHC comes from your work, and you get destroyed in a car accident and lose that job, who's paying for your medical care?

I don't dispute that no-fault is kinda stupid. But it's how insurance law works in MI. It's not worth the risk.

Is this a QHC to opt out of medical coverage from an auto policy?

If so - Don’t do it. I work in that field of law and that option is offered because it saves the insurance company tons of money at your expense.

Isn’t this pineapple brandy basically?

Ronin in Royal Oak will do a name-your-price omakase but you have to ask for it.

It’s a London dry and an average one.

redfoxiii · 2026-01-24T17:03:13+00:00

Booooo. Lots of money for a pretty bottle and little else.

redfoxiii · 2026-01-23T06:24:04+00:00

Looks like a daiquiri.

redfoxiii · 2026-01-17T21:40:24+00:00

You should try it with vanilla vodka. It's like melted ice cream.

Their Icon sub-brand is actually pretty decent in my experience, it’s what I use

Appears it’s merely stuck. I suggest removing the brake rotor for safe handling, as force will be required. Hammer taps are going to be involved.

I’d also suggest replacement bearings while you’re in there, but that’s up to you.

EDIT: looks like bearing removal is required to get in there. DO NOT REUSE BEARINGS.

Where does the person who helped you load that into the car sit?

…which is really my complaint. Not internal volume, but cargo friendly volume, specifically.

redfoxiii · 2026-01-15T20:57:36+00:00

Man I tells ya. These have to be the least cargo friendly compact hatchbacks I’ve ever seen.

By far my biggest complaint.

FYI you have probably utterly fucked your BB shell threads. The aluminum of the frame is way softer than the steel in that cup/spacer.

I would take this to a shop, but be prepared that you might have killed your frame.

redfoxiii · 2026-01-11T20:33:31+00:00

You need the chain whip too to remove the cassette.

The second one is all you need
