    I keep doing pretty good until I got "Jeff Hoover" as my point guard. Or "Wayne Rhodes" at center. This is on the IQ mode. That last roll you better hope for a good year lol. There are still a few of these that aren't right. Kantrail is a total unit, but center is not a good fit for him...

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

    Yeah but any new tech that displaces an existing one has some level of this. There were carburetor people that thought fuel injection was dumb, typewriters are just fine who needs a computer and word processor, etc. Heck you see some of this in real time with AI slop vs "real" human output...

    Oh yeah, that's all horsesh!t, made me laugh. I can't wait for that Toyota battery though, that will be a hell of a thing. I think the Chinese have one going now, but I trust Toyota to work the bugs out, that's kinda their whole gig.

    I remember that storm, near impossible to walk around campus. Turned out the ice polishers were not very effective. Guy on our floor almost got nailed by a large falling branch near the M-U.

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

    In fairness, hose points are all good and fair questions to ask (range? whar chargers? tires? etc) when its a new and different product. And they have been the main constraints on adoption for ages really. But people ask the questions and don't really think about the answers, how the tech...

    Hardest to watch next season.

    They will drop an inexplicable CMC game and be 10-2. Then get boatraced in the playoff and all you will hear is how they should have never fired Franklin lol.

    Ferrari isnt a supercar. But there's no reason to not make an EV supercar imho. It can accelerate as fast as the tires will allow. Handling and styling need to be top notch too. I think Ferrari's problem is similar to what I said above about Jag. Just because it's electric doesn't mean it...

    GF went back to get her vet tech degree/cert and I sent this to her multiple times. None of her classmates were younger than her daughter, but several were REAL close.

    Realignment Megathread (All The Moves)

    I am 100% for this. Let the SEC circle jerk themselves This would be the same as opening fire on Ft Sumter, and it would work out about the same in the end. The high-minded B1G voices would probably love to the the "saviors" that keep CFB together. Chance to work with ACC & B12 & G5 & ND...

    Realignment Megathread (All The Moves)

    Airlines did this for decades - buying up more and more planes to try to scare away competition. "Look how much we spent on planes, so we are the big dogs and you better stay away!" Except they ALL did it, and they all collectively lost money for decades. Until finally they got religion...

    Why is life worth living?

    Jer, just a couple comments, sharing info. We had a close friend with Parkinsons (he was in his 50s), and when the meds were not working anymore, they gave him the Borg implant in his brain, and he had a tremendous result from that. Even was able to ride his Harley again. And that was at U of...

    Also 54. Pretty fortunate on most of these, the kids are doing great and the money is sorted, but still... you can hear the clock ticking.

    If you could craft the perfect Iowa State football schedule, what teams would you want us to play?

    OP is pretty close. Agree with Bird, would trade UNI for one of the Dakota States. The old Big 8, plus Iowa, a rotating MAC team, a Dakota St - that's 10 games. The other 2, maybe rotate Minny & Sconny, and leave one open spot for rando fun home-and-away deals w someone further afield in...
