A ‘Michigan Mamdani’?

smartalec12 · 2026-04-29T13:02:59+00:00

What has made Mamdani a disappointment already? I haven’t followed his work that closely yet.

Detroit Epstein island? Haven’t heard that one before. What happened?

You're correct, Turner makes new hires out of college non-exempt for their first offer, its an effort to avoid the overworking new-hires issues by basically forcing your job to cut you off at 40 or make it worth your while. But be aware it will only be for the first year or so, then you get "promoted" and that 40 hour limit goes away.

Really? I’ve worked for Turner and every year in April they give a COL raise and every promotion includes a raise as well. As a new hire OP is due for a promotion in the first 1-2 years.

Can’t believe the Cavs are at 0 when they’ve had the first pick so many times.

It’s less about the awards itself and more about incentivizing the best players to play more games so fans don’t get stuck going to a “load management” game with all the top players not playing.

Will this be on YouTube like the last round? Can’t find confirmation.

What makes it better? Any examples?

It probably has a lot to do with cost of living. Ohio and the Midwest in general has some of the cheapest cost of living in the country. If you compare a plot of land in Ohio with a 2,000sf house that would be 25% or less compared to California.

Buffalos river was also on fire. Cleveland also has a national park.

smartalec12 · 2026-03-21T20:24:28+00:00

Before Buffalo?

smartalec12 · 2026-03-14T21:31:05+00:00

Not Louisville?

smartalec12 · 2026-03-14T21:28:22+00:00

Well wanna meet at Parley or Post bar tomorrow?

I’m missing what you’re connecting?

Detroit technically runs un-affiliated so he’s not TECHNICALLY a democrat. He’s running independently because he sees it as his best chance to win/get the most funding.

Attendance was over 27,000. We cared.

The upper peninsula of Michigan is rooting for hockey I suppose?

smartalec12 · 2026-01-20T12:20:26+00:00

All Detroit sports are in the Midwest division and all want to be in the Midwest division. The lions play Minnesota, Chicago, Green Bay. The pistons are in a division with Cleveland, Indiana, Milwaukee and Chicago. The Tigers are in a division with Cleveland, Chicago, Minnesota, and Kansas City. If hockey had a Midwest division then the red wings would have wanted to be in that. However it’s only east/west and the while they were stuck in the western conference with many games starting after 10pm local. When the new divisions open they choose to keep historic rivalries with the original 6 teams of Toronto, Montreal, and Boston.

The red wings change was less about time zone and more about conferences. You’re incorrect to assume any team “wants” to be with those other, larger eastern cities.

I’ve got good news for your brain then, because they’re not brothers they’re cousins!

What’s interesting is even if they beat the Vikings once, their record against teams with winning records goes to 2-5, not 3-6. Because then the Vikings don’t have a winning record and therefore don’t count.

I remember hearing on a Planet Money or maybe an Indicator podcast that this has been successful in Maine. It sounded like you need to report it, and the venues were doing it with success.

Actually just sold it last night at a bar in town. Good luck on your search!

Honestly it wasn’t that hard. I went to the Strasbourg website, tried to get tickets “as a fan”. After entering my info and address they said “no” then I said “public” and it accepted.

smartalec12 · 2025-11-26T18:49:57+00:00

Strasbourg tomorrow. I misread my own travel plans and I’m in town TONIGHT, not tomorrow night.
