I'm pretty sure fitness trackers are an exception but might be wrong.

I've heard a heated garage in Michigan is actually bad for a car though. Apparently things rust faster in warmer temps so having all that salt on the car+warm temps it will rust faster.

I am more optimistic about…

I am more optimistic about humanity now with the development of AI than ever before. Even today there are incredible problems in society and in the world that need to be solved. AI is a tool that will be used to improve the lives of everyone on the planet. Health care will get better, customer service will get better, etc. It has the potential to improve nearly every product. The bad? Some jobs will go away and we will need to find new things for those people to do. This has happened a lot throughout history and people have adapted. How many jobs today existed 100 years ago? There is also potential for abuse, but people are also working on addressing that. 

Finally, "AI" is not a some incredible unknown amazing power. It is a computer program that predicts output based on training data and input.

Imagine the goals are worth…

Imagine the goals are worth 7 points each. Then a 4-2 score line is more like 28-14. Seem more reasonable?

In a 4 team playoff, only…

In a 4 team playoff, only conference champions should be eligible. If the conference champion is not the best team in your conference, that's a conference problem. Fix your conference championship so that it picks the best team in your conference. Sample size in college football is too low to allow any other teams in a conference in and have it make sense. 

No thanks, sample size in…

No thanks, sample size in college football is too low already. Boring to play same team twice.

The guy hardly scores goals in MLS... 100% they should have taken someone else. Not a bad player, but there are people that can help in more ways and score more goals.

 

 

Nothing wrong with OSU…

Nothing wrong with OSU losing just for the loss of it. No need to justify it any more.

And give all OSU qbs some money and send them to MSU’s non conference opponents. Leave OSU with nothing

A guy that can play great…

A guy that can play great defense and shoot the three ball well is someone that might just get some run in the NBA.

If you are in Michigan, Astilbe. Great in shade and flowers all summer.

I've got two raised beds--strawberries in one and raspberries in the other. I have to pull weeds once in awhile but the beds keep them contained. Both of those plants spread like crazy.

The report isn't out on the drivers involved. Maybe they were drunk, distracted, or speeding?

Only nice thing about the…

Only nice thing about the athletics is that they have more teams than most schools do such as Lacrosse and Hockey, but doesn't make up for how big it is.

My only complaint is that…

My only complaint is that Alvarez on a yellow had about 3 more yellow cardable offenses that didn't get yellow cards. I can maybe see giving leniency on one but on the second one of those give him the second yellow.

Top gear reliant Robin was weighted so it would dump easier. But yea definitely a strange car

Hard top? I think soft tops are only taking a few months.

Electric cars are awesome. I have a Mach E and it's definitely the best car I've ever owned. I think Ford is making a good move going to electric cars. Quieter, cleaner, and actually way nicer to drive. The only big problems are range and charge speed, which are both actively being worked on.

It depends. I do a lot of hiring and we usually let people know if they are for sure nos--the ones that are maybes are tougher as we are interviewing other candidates so it may takes some time.

Georgia, who lost their…

Georgia, who lost their conference championship game and was thusly determined to be not the best team in their conference, could have been seeded 5th. Baylor could have been 4. Problem solved and much more interesting playoff. :)

Probably unpopular opinion…

Probably unpopular opinion but losing your conference should exclude you from a playoff of 4 teams out of 120.

No team would forfeit in…

No team would forfeit in this case. They would get together a group of walk-ons and field a team to see who's walk-ons are better.

If you don’t win your…

If you don’t win your conference you cannot be in the playoff. Sorry Notre Dame.

Based on what we have seen from him at MSU, defense is not his strong suit.

I have my popcorn ready for Mel Tucker to take 0 incoming freshman and 32 transfers every single year.

It's not 'complaining' it is 'asking for clarification'.

Sure, Mel

How is it possible to be drunk driving but somehow not at fault? Holy shit windshield bias.

Also four wolverines dressed for the Magic today:

Divisions are such a…

Divisions are such a terrible idea. The B1G just copied the SEC with that because ???. It never really made sense. Just have the top two teams play each other for conference championship and call it good.

(No subject)

Was this an illegal forward pass? His hand appeared to be past the LOS when he released the ball.

Nebraska did a screen pass…

Nebraska did a screen pass at one point early in the game where the LT was ~7 yards downfield when the ball was thrown. Is that an illegal man downfield?

Sorry to hear that--water problems with houses are no fun.

You might want to try the simple things. Water in basement can be removed with a drainage system as you said, but that water is coming from somewhere. Drainage might be something that is an easy fix:

  • Look for any broken or clogged downspouts and add downspout extensions to get water further away
  • Make sure water slopes at least 5 feet away from house all the way around and add dirt if it doesn't.

Someone with lots of money and great lawyers should challenge zoning in court. Maybe Google. They seem to have some ridiculously good lawyers.

Well, zoning laws are anti…

Well, zoning laws are anti-freedom and dumb, but the place I grew up had plenty of zoning laws and didn't send many students to Michigan. There were one or two per grade tops and I don't think it has increased. 

OSU lucked out of about 10…

OSU lucked out of about 10. Their coach spent about half the game standing 3 feet onto the court. He should've been T-ed up for that.

Disagree on one point. He is…

Disagree on one point. He is athletic as hell. Drafted as a baseball player I think as well. Maybe not the highest jumper or fastest runner but still insanely athletic

Totally agree on not worth…

Totally agree on not worth waiting in line for any of it. It's decent but factoring in the time it is not worth the wait. Especially waiting in a long line of cars. It feels dystopian to be waiting in a long line of cars. Reminds me of Wall-E.

Great job! Love the banners

You watch the OSU Bama game? OSU tight end looked concussed on that targeting play and was in the next play.

Hire him as Michigan OC in that case why not?

If that is the Jim Weber I am thinking of then he is a Michigan alum

There is a video going…

There is a video going around that shows the arm extension that gives him an extra half step separation. I don’t think it is as bad as people are making it

For similar cases, look at…

For similar cases, look at Gary Patterson's coaching record:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gary_Patterson

He was 2-7 in conference than went 13-1 and finished 3rd in AP rankings. It happens more often than people realize.

Why not take the same…

Why not take the same approach with coaches? Maybe we should fire Harbaugh and hire Fickell. OSU castoffs work well enough for Cinci, maybe they can work for us?

Sometimes a team just has a…

Sometimes a team just has a bad year. I don't particularly think this year is representative of much based on opt outs, no early season game to break in young players, loads of injuries to best players, and just general COVID weirdness. It would be foolish to fire harbaugh after this season given how much he has won. One bad season does not make a coach. Look at Gary Patterson at TCU. Guy has won a LOT there but occasionally has a bad year for various factors. Recruits that are coming in also get to see far more of the program than we do as fans.

Really strange box score. ND…

Really strange box score. ND scored on 4 of 7 drives. No turnovers from either team.

If you watched the game,…

If you watched the game, Butler had acres of space to drive in part because Duncan was out on the three point line and the Lakers don't let a defender get more than three feet from him because they are worried about his shooting.
