bsky vs. twitter. I wish more people would make the move. Enough Tigers beat guys have that I can get what I need in the special group of them I've created. Still waiting on the Evans. Bluesky is 100% chronological and user chosen. No algorithm pushing stuff. I'm keeping my Twitter for the stragglers, but if you see, almost every tweet I have posted since 1/20 has included a jab at its piece of **** owner. I suspect the blue checkmarks don't want to move and lose that paycheck. My golf follows, understandably, are slow to move.

My adult daughter has multiple needs. She's deaf, struggles with spectrum issues, disabled. She is able to enjoy a level of independent living through Medicare and SNAP. This is a life we cannot provide her; it would break us within a year. The difference is that our daughter has a family to care about her; too many of her peers' families have long ago forsaken them. As parents we fully apppreciate the expense Medicaid provides. Any waste or fraud only takes from those who most need the aid. This is not how to make a system better. This is pulling the plug - literally, for some - on life support. The question is not what sort of political move this is. The question is whether this is the sort of society we aspire to be. Some argue Medicaid isn't a right. But it is the right thing to do.

Looks like DJT is #3 on the succession list...

ummm.. the January increase (0.5%) was more than the December increase (0.4%). The interesting question is whether Trump will be more worried about inflation or more dedicated to tariffs. In the current environment he can't be both because tariff's are a direct add-on to prices. Even if he were to get onshoring (which he won't without investment support) it will still be at the higher price level.

Why didn't he just do an executive order lowering inflation?

Biggest halftime lead in Pistons history!!!

That Ausar is a star. The one who puts pressure on the rim like that.

He plays a lot of blues-oriented stuff and they are trying to reach more people. We are a Triple A station and our station plays Zach Bryan but I don't think our country station plays him. Zach fights the Country Music Machine so they don't play him as much as they should and he is proving he doesn't need them. His new single sounds more like Lumineers than a country song.

Yup two of the best. Protect Drafting Table at all costs!

We've basically become another Soviet Satellite..

Obligatory post about Englert being an All Star since the Rays traded for him.

I would follow you guys on BlueSky if I knew who to follow. Why don't we do a little mini-directory. I'm crunruh.bsky.social

More failure to recuse and corruption.

That was a fun game last night. I haven't seen a defensive beatdown like that since the Going to Work days. At the beginning of the season JB said that we would tune in to this team in February and be able to say, "That's Piston basketball." He wasn't lying. That was Piston basketball. Monty's total fail makes it a tough comparison, but to be where they are now after last season JB clearly has this team playing greater than the sum of their parts. First Piston coach I can say that about since Larry Brown. We can question his ability to adapt and strategize in reaction to the opponent come playoff time, but to start with they needed internal development and chemistry. JB's doing a "Coach of the Year" level job at that. He may not win it, but he'll certainly get a lot of votes. Ausar was looking like Giannis-lite against the Bulls. Done laughing? Ok seriously, with his build and athleticism, it's not a bad idea for him to watch some Giannis film for the footwork. He can be an absolute terror on both sides of the ball and is an All-Star in the making if he keeps improving. This is why I've been calling for a Cade/Ausar backcourt since pre-season.

Agree. That is total clickbait as he never says anything about Luka or his future for next season. What he said about the fans and the team is why I posted it. He’s exactly right and says it in a meaningful way. Very opposite of some of the storied sound bites from his past.

Yet

im not i stole this from another Tigers site

You can't effect change until you make the personal decision to be part of that change.

Trump on Covid talking about injecting disinfectant and using UV light. We didn't dodge a bullet here, people died.

there is an amazing anecdote in some book about them going to some US department store and the scientists all breaking out their slide rulers to convert US bra sizes to metric so they could buy stuff for their wives.

Libs of TikTok 😂

the author Curt Bishop is named after the android in Aliens

It does look rather AI-ish. Tell you what: I’d rather sign Bregman for 4/200 than 7/200.

Investing in Tesla gives you an extra rush that other stocks don't. With those boring stocks you don't have to worry about their CEO tanking the stocks price in under 280 characters.

Gotcha. I like proc sql when i can use it to roll stuff up a level,or eliminate a sort before a merge or data step with a set by.

Being responsible for a particular office does not mean you can do unconstitutional things within the office.

Also doesnt that mean the courts had no right to overturn Bidens student loan program that you just celebrated being overturned? The hypocrisy is strong in magaholic1488

Playing these clowns right away again tomorrow is great. Detroit should petition the league to add a game on Thursday.

The Detroit Piston management is going to win some awards this season. This turnaround is nothing short of amazing.

I keep saying to keep the level of competition in mind but it's hard not get at least a little excited by Ausar's ascension, he has star potential.

This is insanity. Some how the Bulls will pull within 5 with three minutes left. 😂

this is the most fun i've had watching a first half in a very long time.

yes CMS is a huge SAS shop and where there's SAS there's PROC SQL

Oh, the pennies and straws didn't get hammered. Good job Donny!

By everything do you mean Bregman?

The Pistons pushing the ball upcourt makes them a very exciting team.

Fleet vehicles seem like the perfect application for EV's.

Good evening everybody and welcome to another exciting night of NBA Basketball." ----George Blaha He's been saying this since...forever.

This is interesting

I've programmed spreadsheets that write SQL code to query a database, and also have a special computer that runs a program that queries a SQL Server database.

Lee/Ed, I had the same thought-hope you survive the purges.

I hope not!

True, but he walked about half as much as usual this last season while his K total stayed consistent. I wonder if he was less discriminating so he was walked about 40 times less than normal or pitchers stayed in the zone often enough that he knew he had to swing and take his chances.

This is why we can't have nice things with you around. Biden was told how he was handling student debt forgiveness was unconstitutional, so he stopped doing that way and tried another means to achieve his goal that he felt was constitutional. If it isn't, parties have a right to challenge that too. His tweet above is that despite being stopped, he continued to fight for his goal. Nothing is legally wrong with that. Trump has every right to try and enact any changes he wants to do, but if what he does is determined to be out of his legal rights, he needs to find another way to do it.

As if the game wasn’t big enough, he comes Matty Ozempic on the sidelines again in the state of Michigan.

Are you talking about Ordonez's offense or defense? 😀
