  1. Good update. The last of the victims of the Rochester Hills, MI splash pad shooting has been released. Not a ton of details about the scale of the injuries but at least this episode will not lead to any casualties. https://www.freep.com/story/news/local/michigan/oakland/2024/07/05/last-victim-in-rochester-hills-splash-pad-shooting-sent-home/74314055007/
  2. Yeah I'm a guy that loves bad movies. I enjoyed watching it but it was really bad. It was kind of like they thought the same type of one liners that were hilarious when Murphy said them on screen in the 80s were still cutting edge comedy. They're barely jabs today. I mean we thought a furry alien that ate cats and said stuff like Yo was comedic art in the 80s. Times have changed. Rosewood somehow managed to look worse and be more wooden and laconic than Taggart. And the dude who played Abbott...I mean he's normally a decent actor, isn't he?? Even he was not good. On my scale Marked For Death is a 9, and I give it a 4. But you're damn right I will watch the next one.
  3. @Deej resting with the snuggle puppy. Amazon is something else. Not sure I'm ready to leave it in there unsupervised just yet. Successful night. No crate accidents. Hoping we are getting into the groove and night 1 was an aberration. No issues with it sounding like Gaza outside during bathroom breaks, either.
  4. Eh what can it hurt. Sold. I'll let you know how it goes. Thanks. 18 lbs 13 oz at weigh in. I don't know what I was expecting but not that. I had myself convinced earlier she probably had some pit mix in her and would top out around 65 lbs.
  5. Just did a quick search on Amazon and Google. They look very... plush. I suspect she would tear that thing to shreds in there. I don't see any tough/durable options unless anyone knows of one?
  6. Just got back from vet appt. She thinks doggo was just freaked out. She has been much better since. No accidents and I've been diligent about crate -> outside. I got some rest in two hour spurts. She cries a bit after I crate her but then calms down and goes to sleep until she sees or hears me. Vet also told me to scrap the 3x feeding schedule with the 10 pm feeding. Definitely. I did also move the crate divider in a bit last night which couldn't have hurt. 🤞 for tonight.
  7. The crate is partitioned to be small. She does not care. She pissed in it again after having lots of opportunity to go outside and not doing so. She was just stirring so I took her out and cleaned the crate. Nothing. Back in the crate and she shit again in there. Cleaned it out and back into the crate. Sucks but at this point I think I have to make her power through. I can't really leave her loose because not only will she continue to go to the bathroom but she will also chew and get into other trouble. I'm not sure how she has anything left inside her belly at this point. Last drink was about 4 hours ago and she's peed 3x since, twice on the carpet and once in the crate.
  8. It's not going very well with the crate and potty training. Pooped in the crate in protest and got it smeared everywhere. She has no clue I don't think that she shouldn't want to shit where she sleeps/eats and should not want to step in it. Refused to go outside. I'm doing the right things but she is coming from a situation where she was in a pen with her litter mates big chunks of the day and night with pee pads and she probably went wherever and whenever she wanted. I can't leave her alone and I'm home by myself for the next 4-5 days. I don't want to reinforce bad behavior but I guess we're sleeping in the penned off family room tonight.
  9. Brought Trixie home today. @Jameslaw121 Looks sorta similar to your pooch. Any idea what breed?
  10. I'm getting a dog yall! So excited. I got my last pup in '05, passed away in '16 and have been too busy to breathe since. I have questions. She is 8 weeks old at current, I'll be bringing her home next week. Mixed breed, mom is an Anatolian, pops a mastiff. Rescue. She is going to be a big girl. Crate train? Should I get a big ass crate or start with a smaller one and then upsize later? Food? Do I want to do something like Hello Fresh? I do not want to make my own unless it's super easy.
  11. The question was something about the perception of his hiring/the hiring process from the outside world. I like JJ, and while I don't really like the Lakers I am rooting for him to succeed. He's a pretty bright dude and I wouldn't put it past him to figure things out pretty quickly. He's not going to win a championship with that roster as it is currently constructed, though, that is for sure.
  12. The pistons are having a press conference to introduce Langdon as their PBO. It was scheduled to start at 3:30 EST. It is now 4:20 and it has not started. Very on brand.
  13. Don't forget Lindsey Hunter - he was going to be the next Zeke!
  14. Based on my eye test (and I'm barely paying attention - gotta be smoking something to watch this team), I would agree. However, James Edwards of the Athletic has said repeatedly that the Pistons get calls all of the time about trying to pry him free due to his defensive ability and versatility. He would be coming off of the bench on a decent team for sure.
  15. I don't know where I land on the Monty stuff to be honest. I'm local but not sure I really care about the current iteration of the Pistons. I understand that he was trying to set a culture by playing Hayes over Ivey last year (Hayes could defend, Ivey chooses not to) but if that was a problem that points to same page-ness with the front office. They have been historically unlucky with the lottery, and they have drafted atrociously. I think Cade can still be a centerpiece, and I like Thompson. I think Fontecchio is a solid fit and I think Beef Stew can be a really valuable contributer if he can tick his 3P% up just a bit next year.
  16. I wouldn't want to cut it, either. Beautiful piece of furniture.
  17. Holy shit dude. Yeah I was just reading the home theater thread and you are way more detail oriented than I am. I am happy to have my short throw sitting on top of a $40 floor stand I bought off of Amazon. In my case my wife doesn't really come down here so the setup is as nice as I care to make it, and after a year plus whole house remodel I'm pretty content with how it is. Anyway I digress. I went with the raspberry pi box linked above and a $5/month sub to DAK board. Mounted the tv to the wall and the tiny box to the back of the tv using two sided tape. I'm pretty happy with how everything with the house turned out but this has to be one of my favorite things that we did. The calendar is invaluable, and the photo cycle is great. No one passes through the kitchen including the kids without looking up to see what random photo is being displayed. This also kind of forces them to look at the calendar.
  18. I finished The Sicilian by Puzo over the weekend. It started off a little slow but really picked up and I couldn't put it down. I wondered why it wasn't made into a movie, and then I found out that it was, and it was terrible. I tried to start it but it was nothing like what it could have/should have been. The story itself was much better than GF III and probably even II.
  19. I must be having a mid life crisis. I just bought two novelty t-shirts online.
  20. Splash pad is 3 miles from my house. We have been there numerous times to get ice cream. Gotta love Merica.
  21. I was thinking about this yesterday and wondering why in the hell I thought Dallas was going to win this series in retrospect.
  22. They give you a mini cast iron griddle now. Still, I think their corporate overlords would be wise to pull the chicken off of the menu. Chicken sushi should not be a thing.
