    When do you think you will buy a 100% pure electric vehicle?

    You can actually recharge pretty well with a flat tow since they all have regenerative breaks. Not as convenient as a gas can but at least it's an option.

    ***2026 NCAA MBB coaching carousel***

    When I think of KU failing in the NIL era it's not from having the #1 pick refuse to play, it's from all the 4/5 star guys that left after a year or two because they weren't getting enough playing time / weren't willing to stay and be developed into a great player as a redshirt Junior / Senior...

    Big12 Tournament Takeaway

    Jefferson was absolutely exhausted with 15 minutes left and Lipsey took himself out so you know it was fairly serious injury. Not playing again tomorrow is going to be really helpful for next week. You'd love to win a conference tournament, but you are now a solid 2 seed with massive momentum...

    Net Worth private poll

    Bought my first house last year at 6.75% and I'm paying down a bit extra now since extra principle payments in year 1 can cut years off your mortgage. If a 15 year refinance drops to 5% I'll be paying the same monthly since I've paid down a small chunk already. But yeah if you have 3% then...

    Negotiating salary - new job

    I won't say that you already blew it, but you should have refused to say a number first. Whoever throws out a number first loses because applicants always undervalue themselves and you want to wait to say a number until they're stoked on you. If you say a number up front then they don't know...

    Samsung TV Repair

    Traviss is shutting down on December 31 2025. It's shocking to me that they lasted this long, but I'm guessing super high end A/V installs kept them going a long time even though replacing tv's is now cheaper than repairing them...

    Iowa High School BEDS count 24-25

    It is pretty insane that the Johnston school district takes over across the street, but the Des Moines city limits only go to Meredith Dr (Lovington / dogpatch is unincorporated). So it's like 8 blocks of the city of DSM that are in the Johnston school district. After way too much research I'm...

    Kansas University Donation

    Krause just sold kum & go for billions and he blows outrageous amounts of money on soccer between the DSM Menace and Parma FC. Don't think he cares about college sports though, and it's way different owning a team vs just giving away money. Maybe Iowa State should start selling off equity...

    Retirement Targets

    I'm with you on the low grade fear of a market collapse due to war / famine / bad government policy / etc Fear of something bad happening to you personally is what insurance is for, outlier events that you can't cover yourself. Probably won't help in your case since it's way more expensive the...

    Retirement Targets

    Removing the cap won't do anything because high earners get money through owning a business and you only pay into SS if you're a wage slave.

    2024-2025 MBB computer projections thread

    St John's will be in Providence ~150 miles away. The nothinglike.net site had St Johns NY address confused with St Johns River College in Florida lol

    2024-2025 MBB computer projections thread

    It would help a lot if Wisconsin and Kentucky lose today, potentially relevant are Arizona and Maryland. Looks like we'll be in Milwaukee with Kentucky / Wisconsin as the other seeded team unless they both jump us, in which case we'd be in Denver with TTU as the other seeded team. IMO Denver...

    Keshon Gilbert out against Kansas State.

    His twitter bio is "I'm gone ✌️"

    Fallout from the Doncic trade

    Best explanation I've seen is that the new owners are purposely trying to tank because the Texas legislature refuses to allow sports gambling, so now they are trying to lose all fan support so that they can threaten to move the team to Vegas as leverage. There's just no basketball reason to...
