  1. This year the Tigers gave me a free mlb.tv sub. But you can't link it to your prime membership even though prime has a deal to play mlb.tv. I guess they get nothing out of it if you don't buy it through them. I get it. I don't have a smart TV in m office and it's not available on Xfinity's suite of apps. I do have a few roku sticks laying around, I wonder if it's on that?
  2. I learned a new word yesterday... TRUNT. You figure it out. But it applies to her. And Boehbert.
  3. There's no bad weather, just bad clothing choices.
  4. I prepaid parking via the ParkWhiz app. I don't carry cash anymore. Found some cheaper lots near LCA. I'm running a half marathon on Saturday so I have to be good at the game. Maybe 2 beers before teh game and then water the rest of the way. And of course it's Lent so cheese pizza it is.
  5. I forgot he even existed
  6. Don’t read this before bedtime.
  7. If you are that desperate I guess. Shame though. You aren’t a real American until you marry your cousin.
  8. Isn’t bogus crypto redundant?
  9. Good. I’m actually glad these idiots are falling for scams. They deserve it.
  10. Just wait.
  11. Do you have the Ticketmaster app? I have 3 future events in my ticketmaster app and all of them don't show the barcode by default but it does give the option to view it. But I also checked my Red Wings tickets, which is somehow linked to Ticketmaster but only available through the Wings site, and yes... no barcode. Just the bouncing thing. I hate paperless tickets. My friend sent 10 of us into his suite last week and it was a cluster.... only 3 of us had the tickets in our phones. You had to go out with one of them to be let back into the suite area. I get why they do it and it's not just the Tigers or Wings or Lions.... but it doesn't speed things up at the gate. Everyone's fussing with their phones, trying to get it to work. That's why on flights I always print my boarding pass at the airport. It's their pass. It's their ink, their paper, etc. If there's an issue it's their fault, it's not my phone's brightness or whatever.
  12. yeah I think it's always been like that for me. I would tip cash but I never carry it anymore. My haircut lady used to take Venmo but stopped because of some tax reasons but luckily she also takes Zelle which my bank has. She was the only reason I got cash out since the pandemic started. Even before then it was only for Tigers games. Now they are cashless.
  13. I sincerely hope and pray you are right and I am wrong because it means lives will be saved and people will be punished.
  14. Call me cynical but I don't think anybody is going to really pay for this. We won't have a Nuremberg. This is going to drag out for a few years and eventually in the US it will be overtaken by the 2024 POTUS race. It'll just be another one of those "over there" things.
  15. Baker may have been the most important person in the 2nd half o the 2th century that wasn't a "leader". He looks good for his age. I have his last book but I didn't get too far into it before being distracted. Need to go back to it.
  16. I belong to a couple of baseball facebook pages that is full of old timers who resent the modern game and this is the knid of thing that makes them go ape shit. I love it for that alone.
  17. What is the practical meaning of this? Is it just paperwork?
  18. and the critics act like they won't do it anyway. "Biden can't do it because then DeSantis will do it" Fuck that. DeSantis is going to do it regardless of what Biden does. The GOP has already shown that they invent standards. We can't bring our knife because then they'll bring their gun when they've already got the gun. We'll have a court backing up tyranny and hate but at least we have "integrity in the institution" or some other bullshit. The trans people will take comfort in that.
  19. I don't think there's really much of a difference in a team that wins 74-83 games. The team that wins 74 could just as easily have won 83.
  20. I think of it like a band.... right now we're in the good times. We're seeing them when they are playing small venues that hold a few hundred people and it cost $15 to get in. The season won't be bad. They'll win just about as much as they'll lose and we'll see kids progress and root for their individual success. This is the last time it will be pressure free fun. NExt year the band will have to work to sell tickets at larger ampitheaters rather than small halls.
  21. Have been seeing ads for Perry Johnson.... he calls himself a "guru". His plan: Lower fuel prices Slow inflation Keep line 5 open Drill for american oil When I think of a guru it's usually a pyramid scheme scam artist on an infomercial or a guy at the head of a cult where he does perverted things.
  22. That Gaetz/Austin exchange shows the best and worst of our country. The best is that we have civilian control of the military member of our legislature can talk to a top military guy that way and not be punished. The worst is that a guy like Gaetz is a member of our legislature.
