Re: No rain for weeks

The drought of 1988 didn't affect Michigan specifically all that much - it affected an arc that went west-to-east through Montana, the Dakotas, Minnesota, Wisconsin, and then more south through Iowa, Illinois, Wisconsin, Ohio, and Pennsylvania.

Re: Chick-Fil-A loses Lord's Chicken endorsement and goes WOKE

So if I post the ramblings of one nutjob Satan worshiper, I can then conclude that the vast majority of people who don't worship God are in fact nutjob Satan worshipers? That's basically the logic TCT is using here using the ramblings of one Evangelical Christian to paint a picture of not just Evang...

Re: Cruise Night

I'm impressed he figured out how to not only take digital photos, but also upload them and link them here.

This is a major step forward in TT's technological abilities.

Re: No rain for weeks

Less than a half inch of rain nearly state-wide over the next 16 days.

Very persistent ridge of high pressure has parked itself and doesn't want to move.

No rain for weeks

I know there's been a few very isolated areas in the state that have had a few shots of rain, but many areas haven't seen a drop of rain in about a month, and the outlook for the rest of June is very, very dry. There was a campfire that got out of control a few days ago in Grayling that burned up 3 ...

Re: New station coming to Ludington area

Probably will complicate reception of WVIB 100.1 in the Baldwin and Idlewild areas, though, which is unfortunate. Those Muskegon County class A signals have surprisingly good reception in that region much of the time. An even worse example is the 92.3 translator in Saginaw that went active fairly r...

Re: Z93

There's plenty of rock-leaning pop stuff that would mix in fine. Doesn't have to be Nickelback or Creed either. Again, I give the playlist overall a thumbs up. 95.3 WCFX demonstrated today how NOT to mix in throwbacks into the playlist. I give the station a listen a few times a year when I'm in the ...

Re: Z93

Driving through the area yesterday afternoon, I gave gave the station a listen for about an hour (during one of their 93-minute commercial free music blocks). The playlist was mostly rhythmic-leaning outside of a 90s Green Day song (I didn't hear any of the Hot AC pop rock stuff that I see in the pl...

Re: The Debt Limit..

Now McCarthy has a moderate group of legislators to get the business of the country passed. You ought to be happy about this then. A few moderate Democrats sided with Republicans on an act that the CBO says will cut the deficit by $315 billion over the next 10 years. https://www.nbcnews.com/politic...

Re: Artificial Intelligence is the biggest thing since the internet

But it seems I see a lot of processes and procedures that have been done for 20 years with computers or embedded processors now have a AI sticker on them. Because it's the latest cool catch phrase. This makes you the equivalent of the reporter in that video asking "isn't the internet just a tool?" ...

TCT - do your own homework. You're the one who has made the following claims: "Billionaires pay nearly no taxes but their donations basically keep the GOP alive thanks to the gaping loopholes." "That [the US having the 11th highest debt-to-GDP ratio] wouldn't be the case if we close the billionaires...

Re: The Debt Limit..

This hopefully also illustrates just how large our debt actually is. For more perspective, the national has grown by the equivalent of the cumulative wealth of all billionaires just since Covid, back when the debt was nearly $5 trillion less than it is today.

Re: The Debt Limit..

Uh, not even close. The net wealth of all billionaires (735 of them) living in the us is around $4.4 trillion. So even if you robbed every single billionaire of all of their wealth, thereby leaving each and every one of them literally homeless, you couldn't even pay off 15% of the national debt. And...
