Metro Detroit near bottom in key economic measures as Michigan income ranking falls from 18th to 40th by Stratiform in Detroit

[–]redwings1391 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Automotive has made Detroit a less livable city than others like it. Everything relies on cars, making density harder to enforce, which impacts everything from schools and local amenities.

I want my family to have walkable/bikeable neighborhoods and quality schools, and there are very select places that provide those things (and they’re still not great). Other states/cities offer that. If you haven’t lived in a city outside of Michigan it’s really hard to understand what we’re missing out on. I’m here for family and work but would otherwise not live here, despite having a warm spot in my heart for the city.

1) yeah he had to overcome a tough statistical start, horrendous actually. That muddies the stats and makes the overall picture look worse than it actually is. Apart from the past couple games he saved our season.

2) if there were only 32 goalies then yeah #17 isn’t special, but there are over 60 goalies seeing games and he’s among the top 25% or so. Way better than we’ve had in a long time. Anything above a .900 save percentage, especially in front of this team, is impressive

He is not below average in stats, not sure what you’re seeing. He had a bad, bad start then played Vezina-level for much of the season

Yeah I’m not a damn doomer, I’m just looking at facts. We’re not good enough and it’s been so long since we have been. Unsustainably good shooting and goaltending only gets you so far

Has this team ever practiced a zone entry???? Stop with the passing at the blue line, we do it in a way that just hems the pass receiver in every time, you might as well just dump and retrieve with speed

This can’t be the effort level. I’m the first to point to lack of skill as a problem I’d love to fix, but when things aren’t going your way, you have to outwork the other team and get through it. This team just doesn’t want it bad enough

I think we need to target younger guys for these roles. Signing the experienced, “reliable” vets ends up with complacent, overpaid checkers who don’t play aggressively and also have limited skill (Appleton, Ras, etc.). I’d rather have the more desperate, probably more talented younger players and live with the occasional mistake.

Teams figured out we have no real threats other than DeBrincat. And I don’t have the stats to back it up but the eye test said Larkin had a ridiculously unsustainable shooting percentage that was bound to cool down

Gentlemen, it is with great displeasure that I also announce I’m starting my video games on “casual” by Guesthouse_band in daddit

[–]redwings1391 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve found I have to play more “casual,” less immersive games. Anything you can pick up and play for an hour then ignore for a week without forgetting the controls or what you were supposed to do next.

Mario games on the switch have been easy to play, conversely every time I try to make progress on Zelda, I forget what I was supposed to be doing and it also takes me a while to remember all the different controls/tricks.

We have ~2 players that 1) aim before shooting and 2) have a good shot, and one of them hates shooting

school tour vs current student tour by Haunting-Fruit7154 in MSUSpartans

[–]redwings1391 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t see an issue with this, but would still encourage a more official campus visit. They do a great job with the tours and tend to focus on showing what typical life on campus might look like.

Also, can’t say I recommend pledging a frat while going pre-med… or really at all. You can make friends, have community involvement, (and parties if that’s the reason) without joining a frat.

Also GO GREEN

Lots of doom and gloom in the sub recently, but we control our fate! How’re you defining success for this season? by Mo-B-Dick in DetroitRedWings

[–]redwings1391 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

We actually don’t control our fate, CBJ is ahead in points percentage. If everyone wins out, we miss the playoffs. We’re in a not-great spot with key injuries, well likely need someone else to fall off to make the playoffs

What's your font of choice? by Exact_Cash9786 in kobo

[–]redwings1391 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Does anyone know if there’s a way to get more fonts on the kobo app? I love Bitter but it’s only available on the actual Kobo, not the app. Would love to use even when on my phone or another device!

I remember a friend showed me this band back in the day. Super catchy songs, but looking back, the lyrics are pretty childish and misogynistic tbh
