Re: Scary police video

Disgusting. This man deserves serious jailtime. Just because there a lot of bad cops out there who use excessive force against citizens doesn't mean that citizens get to target cops. "A lot"? Even the California Innocence Project puts the number at at about 1%. https://californiainnocenceproject.or...

Re: Marijuana linked to stroke, heart failure, heart attack

Excellent points...too much of anything is bad. Look at my waistline. Triple chocolate ice cream, bought and paid for. There are also legal concerns; state laws are a literal patchwork quilt of go / no-go as regards possession and use, and an innocent trip from Michigan to Florida with your meds or ...

Re: Why Do I Have a Black Eye?

Why the vitriol? Every time I post anything you attack me for it. I think we need to have a beer together. I wasn't exactly seeking medical advice. This isn't a medical problem. It's merely a cosmetic condition that made me curious. Anyway, it now has started to fade. It's just a dull purple colour...

Re: Sirius/XM audio quality

Great thread and discussion. I usually stream to my phone, then via the USB into the truck. Great audio that way, and many, many more channels. I don't use the receiver in the truck much unless it's a quick trip. As for Scooter's comment, you can stream ONE song from an "app only" to Google Home, an...

Re: Why Do I Have a Black Eye?

I never cease to be amazed by abject stupidity of seeking medical advice on social media, particularly media that has an unrelated and narrow interest. Further, the original poster scores a second point on the Darwin scale by joking about it. Go see a doctor and stop bothering us with another round ...

Re: Mixed Feelings About WJR since their Lineup Change

If they're loosing me, a 65 year old white guy, they be in trouble. Gut tells me their current programming isn't attracting younger folks either. What a great way to put it. You've said it all. I tune in once or twice a year for a moment strictly for the nostalgia of what it once was to the region,...

Re: WLLZ Applies To Move To Diplex With WDET

The WXYZ-FM transmitter was on the Maccabees Building, which is near the North End of the Cass Corridor Area, on Woodward, one block from Cass Ave., though generally associated with WSU. Lots of changes at the 5057 Woodward Maccabees site over the years. WXYZ was there for years; the 15th floor had...

Re: Hampton Inn

Bed comfort should have its own rating and it should have at least 33% of the total weight for a score. I have actually found cheaper properties to have better bedding, tbh. I think its because those are people who are renting out cabins they actually use, not some property they picked up thinking ...

Re: Prime Video Is TRASH

I think I have been an Amazon member since 2007. It was about 6 or 7 years before I actually watched any Prime content. Back then it was $79 a year and I thought the 2 day "free" delivery was a great thing. Now at $139 a year I wonder if I am actually saving much by shopping from home and getting t...

Re: Sources of Local Interference Affecting VHF Reception

The biggest source of RF interference I've located to date (on the AM band anyways) is emanating from some newly installed electric car battery chargers t Lots of powerline interference nowadays...DTE or Consumers used to jump right on it when it was reported.

Spotify vs. YouTube Premium

I've been a Spotify customer for several years. I like occasional background music, some of the playlists, and the ability to play virtually any song any time. It integrates well with Google Home for background music, and makes a nice companion on bike rides. I was always amazed at how the algorithm...

Re: WLLZ Applies To Move To Diplex With WDET

I agree that W4's directional pattern is amazingly accurate. WCEN's is another I would place in that category. I was involved at 102.9 when the compromise with 102.7 occurred. They actually had a consultant come out to the site (at the time the gravel pit hill off Scio Church and Wagner Roads) on a...
