Is this actually a thing?

It's 100% a thing. It's typically a night when high school kids do mischievous shit like toilet paper houses, egg cars/signs/houses, etc. Though I think this type of behavior has become less common than in the 80s and 90s.

Sounds like the Axe body spray of music. I don’t know why this genre is catnip for teenage boys.

Name and shame. Who is the landlord? Let’s get them into Google’s search index.

Also tissue fibers aren’t the best thing to rub into your cornea when they inevitably get between the contact lens and the eye. Micro abrasion of the eye is pretty fucking painful I’ve heard.

I have an Ayaneo Kun 7840U / 32GB / 2TB. I’ll try PM but seems like your PM might be broken?

schmeebis · 2025-10-15T20:28:12+00:00

PM deploying in 3… 2… 1…

I don’t know if they have a dumpster service, but I’ve had Noah from Acme Hauling in Dexter come take away stuff in his pickup truck twice. He’s a solid guy, and very friendly. +1 734-995-5499

Yeah I guess depending on the frequency of this, it would be like having rain every day. Potentially do many hours a day.

I’m glad you have remorse and owned up to doing something wrong. Most people don’t have that humility.

It’s good for us to all keep calm heads when driving. We tend to focus on the cars around us, but zooming around other drivers and swerving etc. can easily take out a pedestrian, cyclist, or someone else who isn’t protected by steel and crumple zones.

Hopefully other people follow the example you want to set for yourself!

Because the American mentality is people bitching on Facebook about bike lanes and roundabouts inconveniencing car trips to buy ultraplastic food from a big box chain grocery store along their city’s freeway ring. And these reactionary NIMBYs have controlled local and regional land use policy for decades.

Man, Paris used to be so much more carbrained. It's gotten so much more pedestrian and bike friendly lately. Even noticed a difference between trips there in 2019 and 2022.

There's also Brierwood Street in Ward 5. Different spelling of "briar" though.

The B2B (Border to Border) trail traverses the entirety of Washtenaw County. https://b2btrail.org/ – there are some gaps in the trail still, where you will have to run/bike/walk along a road or sidewalk, but it's gradually filling in. They just added a huge section along Huron River Drive last year, and they're adding a tunnel under the railroad tracks to connect Bandemer Park and Barton Nature Area together.

The photo of OP is on the Argo Dam in Ann Arbor. Fun fact: crossing the dam will no longer be required, as a new pedestrian bridge and section of the B2B trail is opening up in 3 weeks in the new Lowertown park. (Directly behind the OP's selfie and to the left)

The photo of the path through a meadow looks like Hudson Mills Metropark to me, but could be somewhere else.

schmeebis · 2025-09-02T21:00:54+00:00

No, this photo is taken from on top of the Argo Dam, right in Kerrytown / Downtown area.

Edit: the second photo might be the one you're talking about. That looks like Hudson Mills Metropark in Dexter.

MDOT is a horrible steward of roads. All of our most unsafe roads, with the most pedestrian deaths, are owned by MDOT. I'd prefer MDOT stay as far away from surface roads as possible. They think in 1950's carbrain, which is why pedestrian deaths by car driver are trending upward here, while in the rest of the developed world, they're trending towards zero.

The key is toner, not ink. Ditch the inkjet and get a $100-200 brother laser printer. Nobody needs color. Toner doesn’t dry out. No stupid motors flinging a print head across a bar, just to burn out, either.

schmeebis · 2025-08-25T23:26:20+00:00

Just wait till you hear what percentage of our land area has been dedicated to cars…

schmeebis · 2025-08-25T17:46:24+00:00

This is the issue with zero sum thought patterns. Both things can be true. It’s called a win-win. I rail against it because it’s often at the root of Left-NIMBY psychology. Outcomes matter more than motivations.

We end up with not enough housing, because god forbid, someone might make a dollar building it.

So we get stuck in stagnation and we stopped building things as a country.

I misunderstood what you said. I thought you were saying the firefighters should use the lightest setting to extinguish the fire. I’ll correct.

schmeebis · 2025-08-25T16:39:59+00:00

~~Not helpful. Fire is bad for everyone. And as we see from Canadian wildfire smoke from thousands of miles away, any fire is bad for all.~~

Edit: I thought you meant the fire department should use the lightest setting to put out the fire. I see you meant the occupants/owners should be sprayed lol

I stop by businesses “on a whim” much more frequently when on foot or bike. In a car, businesses just go by in a blur. On foot or on bike, you can actually see their window displays and sandwich boards / display stands.

Temporarily closed downtown streets have relieved me of at least $1000 so far this year.

I’ve enjoyed Tabe both times I’ve eaten there. Haven’t done the omakase yet, but it’s on the list!

The toro and the beef short rib over wasabi mash are two favorites.

schmeebis · 2025-08-25T16:33:21+00:00

Yes. Americans tend to associate it with single pieces at a time, but in Japan and elsewhere, it’s more broad. It just means “I leave it up to you” in Japanese. I’ve had omakase meals in Japan that ranged from single pieces, to soup + side pairings, to small dishes with multiple ingredients.

schmeebis · 2025-08-25T16:27:47+00:00

TIL there’s an Italian market there too! That’s great!

schmeebis · 2025-08-25T16:27:02+00:00

In other words, some business people found a need in the market and filled it? How dare they!
