    Severe Geomagnetic Storm Watch (and maybe big Northern Lights show)

    This was from our house around 9:30 in North Johnston (with an iPhone). Looked like faint lights in the sky with the naked eye. Gotta be the only sky phenomenon that looks better from a camera than the naked eye.

    Friday OT - (Pizza) Cuttin it up!

    I remember they were a dollar and bigger. Now they're tiny squares at almost $2/ea!

    Principal Financial-Remote work

    I don't think that's true. I worked for a commercial real estate company a couple years ago, very few leased for longer than 10 years - most were between 5-10. Obviously that's just the DSM metro, but google seems to agree.

    Friday OT - (Pizza) Cuttin it up!

    The only one of those that shouldn't be a checkmark for each is the 'easy to clean'. And they conveniently left off 'Small Footprint' - takes up way more space in the drawer than the standard pizza cutter.

    This doesn't bother me if it's just something in the background like signs in the stadium as you're playing. Would be annoying if it's like Youtube where you have to watch an ad before jumping between screens or something.

    Friday OT - (Pizza) Cuttin it up!

    Interesting, only 1 person so far that uses a knife, wonder who that could be... I'm more surprised someone actually has a Mezzaluna (never knew what those were called).

    How long until the NFL plays on Saturdays?

    Looks like they have 6 home games this year, and 6 home games in 2025 - so no, highly doubt season ticket prices would decrease. Ticket prices don't decrease when we go from 7 home games to 6 (even when the lost home game is vs Iowa) - best we can hope is they stay the same.

    EA Sports NCAA Football game

    I don't really care about the micro-transactions, seems like those are in every game nowadays anyway. I just want to play online dynasties with friends. I know they won't be paying for anything either, so we'll be even. I'm surprised there's no announced release date yet with it getting so...

    How long until the NFL plays on Saturdays?

    I think we're a ways from any power 5 team having multiple home weeknight games. That's a LOT of teams, and there are usually only 1-2 games on any given weeknight. I'm not sure if even MAC teams are to the point of having multiple home weeknight games yet. That said, if/when it does happen I...

    I've never sharpened a knife in my life. Also never sharpened a pizza cutter, because you don't need to.. my 10+ year old unit slices thru pizza just fine, without tearing cheese/dough like using a knife with similar effort does. Unless you have an expensive and/or very large knife that you...

    Do you have one of those huge pizzeria knives that can go across an entire pizza? Way too much of a hassle to use a regular kitchen knife to cut a large pizza. You have to be one of ~1% of Americans who don't use a pizza cutter.

    We have one of these - it is nice sometimes/for certain uses, but I typically use a knife. It's more of a chore to clean and even the smallest insert doesn't chop as fine as I like for some things.

    *** Cyclone Fanatic Cereal Tournament: Final Four ***

    I'm starting to wonder if this whole tournament is just an ad for big cereal. How much are they paying you Rulzzz?? Several people have mentioned buying cereal, some for the first time in awhile.
