  1. There's a point where you spend more time in crafting the question for AI that is greater than the time you'd spend just figuring it out on your own.
  2. A lot of movies on this list I find hilarious and have watched many times but only for the first 30-45 minutes. Even some of my all time favorites like a Cohen Bros movie.
  3. If they have a 7 game lead the first week of September I think there ok. 🤔. Right? I mean what could happen.
  4. Mischief. A banger from the mid 80s. You won't be disappointed.
  5. 2nd to home on a infield grounder?
  6. My algorithm on Threads put me on a Mike Love track and the stuff about him is brutal. I know there were issues but I never paid attention to it. Said he tried to talk Wilson out of Pet Sounds, said it was garbage. He sued for songwriting credits. He insisted it say "Love/Wilson". Kicked the others out of the group. Bunch of other stuff...
  7. Someone with 1 million followers should be better than this. 6% of detainees have been convicted of homicide? And she puts "only" in front of it as if that's a low number in that context? The article being referred to doesn't say that. What it says is that ony 6% of known murderers among migrants are detained. Logic not her strong suit.
  8. Remember how the Tigers coaches sucked because the BRaves "fixed" Robbie Grossman?
  9. Sunny here. There's a storm going N of the in Oakland County. Temp was goint to feel like 100 around 3, drop to 85 at 4, then go back to the mid 90's at 5.
  10. I don't think he was speaking about this particular issue but overall history. It was lashing out at the middle east in general and the last 70 years. Iran was a proxy for all Arab nations, except of course his Saudi BFF's.
  11. I hope so because I plan on being there around 6:20.
  12. Dammit.... don't make me say "Good point Donald"
  13. might be some weather issues but the forecast looks better this morning than it did last night.
  14. I mean one that did work was obviously Marisa Tomei as Aunt May. My God she doesn’t age.
  15. If you watched Better Call Saul someone on Reddit said that they should make a joke movie with the you who played Lalo. But you base it around the Cesar Romero version. my other issue with the Nolan films, which is my fault, is I didn’t understand the concept of rebooting comic book franchises. So I was expecting some kind of continuation of the movies we saw with Keaton and Clooney and Kilmer.
  16. Tayshaun's block in the ECF.
  17. I'm a fan of his work and can respect his art... I just didn't get those movies. They were wonderfully made and top notch cinema. But I wasn't entertained as much. Felt no need to watch them again. I blame them for not getting into Marvel until about 5 years ago, I figured I didn't like these kinds of movies, other than Star Wars. I'm not criticizing them because it's ok for people to have different tastes in life. They didn't do it for me but I know most people love them. That's ok.
  18. The story of Batman is great. It was in the works for about 5 years until they got Burton. They originally had the Superman writer, then talked about Ivan Reitman. Names like Mel Gibson and Bill Murray were thrown out and considered. Robin was going to be in it, played by names like Michael J Fox or Eddie Murphy. Lithgow as joker. That stalled so they turned it over to Tim Burton who only wanted Michael Keaton. It was the right choice and he remains the best Batman.
  19. My old neighbor had a good setup in FL. He got a double wide in a 55 and over community with it's own lake and golf course. It wasn't expensive at all. He didn't keep anything there he'd miss if there was a storm. And the neighbors looked after it for him in exhcange for letting them use it for guests to visit. But that was also 15 years ago so who knows what it's like now. I thought we'd get some land given to us in TN but I guess that uncle told everyone that.... and the girlfriend/wife got it, has it, etc. But all of my people there are almost gone.
  20. Part of the appeal for those guys is also the fact that they live here full time so they are part of the community. Especially hockey players as their off season is the summer so where else would you rather be? And Darren's basically a local anyway. Goff could attain that too but today's athletes make so much more money than they did even 25 years ago that I doubt he sticks around when his playing days are over so the connection is gone. For example, Miggy just listed the house he owned in Grosse Point Farms for sale. He doesn't need it. But the old Tigers and Red Wings needed jobs after they were done so they got hooked up as sales reps and all of that with local companies and stuck around, like a Dan Petry. But a guy like Riley Greene isn't going to live here in January and February. Would you?
  21. The story behind Jaws is remarkable. Almost as good as the movie itself. Failure made it better. It introduced the summer blockbuster. It really holds up well and all the elements of a Spielberg movie are there.
  22. classic case of assuming it's "other" people abusing things and we need to stop that abuse, at all costs, then getting upset when it affects you because you wouldn't do such a thing. She's the person who parks in no parking/stopping/standing spots in front of stores because "I'll only be a minute, it's just me here."
  23. https://www.instagram.com/reel/DLFvUJHMfqI/?igsh=dnR6NjA2ajF0ZzFn Miggy selling his Grosse Pointe Farms home. $3.5 M.
  24. I think it's just atrophy. The old timers who were the problem are dying off and the younger ones are better. But there's still too many that I think shouldnt get a vote just because they covered the game for a period of time. As long as we have writers not voting for players for reasons other than whether they belong in the HOF, then it's a problem leaving with the BBWAA. I'm not talking about their judgements on PED use but this silly idea that they aren't first ballot or they don't deserve unanimous or even "too high of a %". Voters have used that as an excuse in the past.
