    In Memoriam: Ames Business/Restaurants

    Oooh, DaVinci's. Used to go there my freshman year with a bunch of people from the Sousa section. I forget what exactly was on the pizzas we always ordered, but once you started eating it there was a timer on when you needed to be near a bathroom. Tasted great eating it, mildly uncomfortable a...

    Too big?

    Pretty confident that I'm not your wife. As for the speakers, I get it. Those look to be some pretty unique speakers (at least according to a mild google search), but they just don't fit the room / space. Kind of like the 75" TV I put in my living room. Just a bit to much for the space and...

    Too big?

    I think the bigger thing is that the entire thing is giving my first apartment as a single guy look. Is there a used futon behind you in the picture? (I'm kidding, kind of...) The speakers are big. They are bigger than anything on that wall and they feel forced into that space. Especially...

    NFL: ***2026 NFL Season***

    Interesting to see the detroit / atlanta players basically just say we ain't playing anymore after the Detroit DB was taken off the field in an ambulance in the 4th Q. Snap the ball and just stand around for 6 minutes until the league finally got around to suspending the game. Would have loved...

    HOA’s and their nonsense

    Normally it's not really the HOAs that are the problems, its the people on the HOA. Which can be said for any sort of volunteer activity from the people running an 8yr kids soccer team, to the HOA board, to people running a church bake sale. Am I at times mildly annoyed by my HOA in Washington...

    F1 2025 Discussion

    Yeah, but a terrible Monaco is still a parade no matter what. I vote they give them all shifter karts and let them go at it. That would be exciting

    F1 2025 Discussion

    The double pit first thing would be seriously ballsy. One hell of an undercut though. You lose what ~25 seconds for pitstop (not sure at Monacco)? Lap is probably 75-80 seconds at the start of the race? You would be dead last by lap three but if the race avoided a red flag and you could nurse...

    NFL: Brock Purdy is Getting Paid

    Conveniently, there is no state income tax in texas. That was apparently one of the reason Joe Rogan moved to TX from CA before he got his massive spotify deal. If you do work in a state, you generally pay taxes in that state. My home address is in WA, but I'm assigned to a project in MI and am...

    1 gorilla vs 100 men

    I said the 100 men, but it comes with a couple of caveats: 1. The men have no real fear complex. The first 30 guys (maybe even more) are getting ****** up bad. 2. The 100 men have to have some sort of decent mass attack strategy. If it's just one after another, I'd be more inclined to take the...

    RC Cars/Boats/Planes/Trains/Rockets General Hobby Thread

    I've thought about it, but man, I don't need another hobby. Although some of this stuff is rather cool. That said, the RC rockcrawlers and cars do look pretty cool.

    Backing into parking spots

    Sometime I will, sometimes I won't with my work truck. All depends on the lot and the situation. My place in washington I backed in to my driveway because I could use the backup camera to get in relatively tight against the garage door to keep the nose of the truck out of the sidewalk. With the...

    Will the Sugar Bowl still be played?

    I'd rather have to change my plans for a football game being delayed than having to change my plans to attend a funeral or go visit someone in critical condition from a nutjob in a truck running through the crowd.
