    In honor of Super Bowl weekend, thought we could post some of our favorite Super Bowl Commercials. My favorite! Not for sure a Super Bowl one, but loved these:

    5 discontinued foods/snacks/restaurants you’d bring back

    Pizzaria Chips were great. Not sure why those ever went away. Also like Doo Dads. My favorite snack mix ever!

    Dishwasher Buying Advice/Question

    I have a Bosch 500 with the Auto Air open at the end of the cycle. It is such a nice dishwasher! The dishes are super clean and it is super quiet. The only drying issues I have are for plastics where there is room for the water to pool. I just wipe them out with a towel before putting them...

    *** Official #8 IOWA STATE vs #16 Kansas Game(Day) Thread ***

    How in the hell do we only have 1 fg attempt for the game from our bench? Not going to score if you don’t shoot.

    Selling Non Running Cars

    Update: I ended up selling my non running car to Cash for Cars (A Copart company). I was leery when they told me to send a picture of the front and back of the title. I did call the Iowa Attorney Consumer Line and they said that it seems reasonable since they are buying the car sight unseen...

    Selling Non Running Cars

    They need the title pictures to setup the pickup. Supposed to be a certified check at pickup.

    Selling Non Running Cars

    When I called Cash for Cars they needed a picture of the title (front and back) to validate there is no lean against it. It seems fishy but the reviews seem to be ok. Is there any risk of sending pictures of the title for fraud purposes? Just don't want to have a fraud issue.

    Selling Non Running Cars

    I reached out to a company called Cash for Cars online in Des Moines and they gave me an offer to pickup my car and give me a certified check for it. Has anyone had any experiences with them? Has pretty good reviews on Google but just checking before I commit to anything.

    Audio/Video Question

    The receiver I have is not HDCP 2.2 compatible and is only HDCP 2.0 so trying to get 4K from my Roku doesn't come through. I don't have a 4K disc player and do watch a handful of Blurays on a Bluray player. I think the biggest annoyance is the sound cutting out constantly on my Disney Plus. I...

    Audio/Video Question

    I agree that a new receiver would fix it, but not really wanting to spend the money on a new one. Keeping up with new tech is too expensive. I did upgrade my receiver a while back from a older Pioneer when HDMI was pretty new but it was a great deal on facebook marketplace with a set of speakers.

    Audio/Video Question

    I have a 5.1 System with and older 4K TV and an older 4K receiver. The receiver is 4K passthrough but not for copy protected content (guess that is a thing) so to get 4K content I have to send my Roku to my TV and then send HDMI back to the receiver for sound. The picture looks great but I am...

    Transfer Portal/Eligibility Question

    I heard a story this morning on KXNO that a Wisconsin player wanted to transfer to Miami and was no longer enrolled at Wisconsin but Wisconsin was blocking him from accessing the transfer portal because he was in a contract with the Univeristy and the Collective. I wasn't aware that a person...

    KXNO Sports Fanatics

    Shawn was saying the team is boring in a tongue and cheek sort of way. He was essentially saying that they are beating teams by dominating them that it is "boring" lol. All the shows are super complimentary of how good the team is.

    LED Light Bulbs

    I have been buying Feit and Sylvania. I guess I will just live with replacing them, Thanks everyone for the info. I was wondering if since they started flickering that I had a power issue at my house and they weren't lasting as long as they should.

    LED Light Bulbs

    I have all LED bulbs in my house and seems like I have had to replace them more often than I should have to. I thought LED bulbs were supposed to last a long time. I have had a few Candlabra style ones in my ceiling fan go out recently and they are not that old. They are 100watt equivalent...

    New TV Recommendations

    I am looking at getting a 55" TV to replace a 50" Samsung that died a few weeks ago. I know they go on sale around the Super Bowl. How soon before should I expect them to go on sale? I don't need a high end one and looking to be in the more budget kind like Hisense or TCL. May go to an LG if...

    Backing into parking spots

    I drive a truck and it is easier for me to back into a spot than it is to pull in. My truck is old enough it doesn't have a backup camera but it is still easier for me to back in. I figure either way I will have to back up at some point, when I leave or park, so I don't see it safer one way or...

    CENTRAL IOWA CAR TIRES

    I have had great luck with Michelin Defender LTX on SUVs in the past. Great wear and all around good tire for all conditions. May be a bit pricier than some others, but I don't like to skimp on Tires and Batteries. I have had great luck with tires from Costco or Sams Club. Many times there...

    YTTV price increase

    I had Hulu+ Live TV and just went to regular Hulu with Disney+ and ESPN+. I am sad because I won't be able to watch a bunch of basketball games but the cost was getting too much and trying to tighten up my budget.

    Who replaces Higgins and Noel next year?

    It is hard to tell on the backup wide receivers because Ngoyi and Green only seem to be in on running plays. Green had a decent start but fell off a few games in. It is frustrating because it seems like a dead giveaway when one/both of these two are in that it is a run.
