    Xfinity and Frontier both ran fiber through my neighborhood over the summer. Frontier finished first so I went with them. Any Fiber service will be good though. I had WOW before that and didn’t have any issues with them, but I had a better modem and router setup than DeToxRox

    Not my part of 696. I’ve dealt with 96 and 696 construction since 2022. I’m done. It’s time my enemies feel my dread.

    Currently 0° and feels like -12°. Still six or seven hours from the coldest part of the night.

    It’s cold.

    Expected RealFeel low is -19 at 10am. Brisk. Weekend temps in the 20s is going to feel like spring has sprung.

    696 is less than 23 miles of highway in Oakland County. It would be nice if the county could fucking salt it from time to time during weather events. It was, again, a skating rink from Orchard Lake Rd to the Lodge.

    If you're just wanting tacos, it's really, really hard to beat Que Pasa...at least the location on Dequindre...assume the new one in Royal Oak is good but it might not be bougie enough for that crowd

    This is the answer. Tu Tienda in Madison Heights is also good for quick/casual, authentic Mexican food.

    On the topic of food- also pumped for the Grey Ghost team opening a small burger joint in Ferndale, on Woodward.

    I’m middle-aged. Not as old as Celemo or B-Boy $P1.

    But I was raised to talk about roads and weather. It’s a fun topic.

    Shit i think I'm on the less than average side of the TMB Michigan age curve.

    Also on the penis size curve but who's complaining?

    Your mother. That's who!

    Taking my sons and a couple friends to Ann Arbor tomorrow for the U of M wrestling meet. What’s a good spot to grab dinner that would be good for 3 high schoolers and a 6 year old?

    Seriously though I think there are a big group of us all 40-50 and then Jean-Ralphio is like 25 and Constant is, well...more than that.

    Those are really the only people that matter. Anyone falling outside of that range smells like poop.
