I'm doing what I can to stop that from happening.
Good. I'm glad you are. Because there's nothing I can do.
Nothing's being done if you are just posting here.

Re: MIBuzzboard shut down for over 25 hours!

I just saw the first 4 words of this thread's subject and thought someone had removed the h-u-g-e filter and got into trouble for it.

FWIW - the big delays and Sucuri server / firewall messages are still a thing as I type this...

Re: Aerosmith disbanded

And? They haven't had a hit in over 20 years And?? They had a good 50+ year run (with a few interruptions for egos, solo projects, and rehabs) with pretty much the same lineup. Frankly, I'm surprised that one or more didn't join Hendrix over the years. Once the songwriting had more outside collabor...

Re: Electronics Repair Store for Malfunctioning MP3 Device

IDK anything about the product that makes it special enough to want to repair it (MP3 players are about a dime a dozen), or about a store. However, maybe those were used as 'talking book"s by the Library for the Blind and Physically Handicapped (LBPH) in Michigan? It may be worth a call to their tec...

That was a surprise at the end of the 11pm news to hear that was Sam's last day.

Anyone know where he is going?
Doesn't sound like even he knows yet.

He's still producing some output on FB, but certainly doesn't make it sound like leaving was his idea...

Re: Disturbing trend in the YouTube algorithm

The recruitment and output trend here is sometimes disturbing as well. Really dies down after November for some reason. What does that mean exactly? Certain accounts suddenly magically stop posting after the election? Not magically, and not all stop completely, but you've the gist of it. You certai...

Re: NewsNet shut down

Terrible to have the rug pulled out from under you like that. The Crains article (paywall removed) stated 80 total lost their jobs... Sounds like the owner bought the network for all the wrong reasons... :roll: Maybe Brewvine & Ten will welcome one or more of them (back)? They always seem to have op...

Re: NewsNet shut down

Seeing online that NewsNet in Cadillac is shut down. Anyone have any more information? How many people did they actually employ? Haven't seen that yet. Website is still up, though seemingly under reduced functionality in some areas. The Team page is here (for a rough headcount - 'til it's not?): ht...

Re: WSJ: Trump Attacks Harris’s Identity, Saying He Didn’t Know She Was Black

I really for the life of me don't understand why he didn't stick with his "unity" message that he promised before the convention, and even stuck to for the first 20 minutes of his acceptance speech at the RNC, and then, it was like somebody flipped a switch. He gave up on that message after 20 minu...

The fickle finger of fate shines dimly on the brewvine web team - O'Hare pic/bio remains on the Meet the Team page 5 days after he doesn't.
