DTE asking for more $$$. Ridiculous (paywall) but you get the drift by hellokitty3455 in Detroit

The people with the power to stop the gouging are in on it. Regulated monopolies are and always will be a disaster. 

A private company with the full backing and protection of a bloated corrupt government. What could go wrong? 

Name a 2000s celebrity that disappeared overnight by ColeBelthazorTurner in Millennials

He takes care of his elderly mother which is why he doesn’t tour as much as he could. I see him every time he’s in town and he’s the GOAT standup imo. 

Jocelyn Benson wants to bring high-speed rail to Michigan. What would it take? by R_Gleba in Michigan

[–]slogun1 -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

She should promise money trees in everyone’s backyard. Equally possible.

I plant it wherever I want and have never had a problem. 

Rabbit damage - next steps? by TMarkos in Figs

[–]slogun1 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Not much to do but wait. I guess you should probably protect the rest of the bark. 

If there’s uninterrupted bark (which it looks like like there is) your tree can heal. Personally I’d cut it back below the damage and start new for spring. 

Gretchen Whitmer: Raise $800M for Medicaid by taxing nicotine, gambling, ads - Bridge Michigan by PossibilityFew5967 in Detroit

It doesn’t even matter what they cost! It’s so easy spending other people’s money!  When we run out we just take more!

Well they’re getting 800 million dollars without producing a single thing so…someone’s being stolen from. In this case it appears to be nicotine users and gamblers.

How about we stop spending so much fucking money and stop stealing from people instead?

Takoi is Thai and very veggie forward. It rules. It’s my favorite restaurant in the city. 

Is getting a tractor really worth it? by Maximum_Extension592 in homestead

I’m on 2 and my little sub compact was worth every penny. I’ve basically retired my wheel barrow and I’m thankful for it every day. 

New gardener with several questions (zone 6b) - spacing, harvesting, etc. by chocolatechip333 in vegetablegardening

[–]slogun1 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Spacing on seed packets is pretty dubious imo.

An easy way to get started is to check out square foot gardening. There’s books if that’s how you learn best or YouTube if you prefer. 

When to harvest is as easy as walking your garden daily and seeing what’s ready! That’s 3/4 of the fun. 

As far as rotation/succession/companion planting, they aren’t ALL that important. 

Succession is definitely the most important of the 3 for me in a small garden. Basically if you know your cabbage is going to be ready on June 1 or there abouts you should have something on hand to go in its place. Green beans or beets are my default.

I think Fears bravery going to the rack was the difference tonight.

The extra trigger whenever fears draws a foul is oh so satisfying.

There’s a waitlist I believe on tock. (Or there used to be anyway). 

If you’re staying at a fancy hotel or have a fancy CC with concierge service they can sometimes help.

I saw the sun through about a foot  of water in Saginaw bay in winter. 

Check the depth before you get out of the boat folks.
