    Ever score on an insurance company?

    Can you show us on this doll where the insurance company touched you?

    Ever score on an insurance company?

    Maybe I don't understand what you mean by "negative value proposition". Doesn't insurance have to be that on average you pay in more than you receive? If not where does the money to reimburse people with large losses come from?

    ***2024 NFL Season***

    A kick into the end zone will get spotted on the 30 now instead of the 25. I'm guessing they think teams will try to drop it in around the 5 or so and try to keep them inside the 30.

    RIP Louis Gossett Jr.

    I remember him having cancer and if you asked me yesterday I would have guessed he died like 10 years ago. I completely forgot he was in the Watchmen series.

    Crazy thing happened today, what would you do?

    So what were you going to do if you caught him? Get in a fist fight or worse if he had any kind of weapon? I assume he wasn’t breaking car windows with his bare hands so what if he starts swinging whatever he had at your head? What if the driver of the car jumps in do you think you could fight...

    Nice Restaurants in Des Moines .

    My wife and I went to Ruth's Chris last October and I'd put it above 801 Chophouse. It is expensive though. We spent $330 for the 2 of us and there was no alcohol.

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

    For the record I’ve never owned a large vehicle. I did live in Texas for a while so I’ve been around my share of oversized trucks and being able to get deeper into the parking place is one of the reasons I heard for backing in.

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

    One "legitimate" reason, at least when there is a curb, is the distance from the back of the truck to the rear tires is longer than the distance from the front of the truck to the front tires. Thus, if you back in you can keep the front from sticking out beyond the parking place into the road...

    Court Storming

    I think the railing in front of the student section helps a lot. Forcing people to exit through the aisles slows everything down.

    Missouri Dual (2/25)

    The dual match seems like an easy choice of being the least important but there is some history attached to it. If David wins he joins Cael and Gable as the only Iowa State guys to go undefeated in duals for their career. I'm not sure how many other wrestlers can also claim this but there can't...

    I think I want to work where you work.

    Basketball telecasts

    That is the adaptive streaming where it will change bitrates depending on network conditions. It could be your Internet (or your in house network) but it also could be the hardware running the ESPN app.

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

    I wish full EV would have been around when we bought our Prius in 2004. In the 20 years we have had it we would never once have needed to charge it anyplace other than our garage. We only use it for commuting or running errands and I'm pretty sure Adel is the farthest it has ever been from our...

    Nope, no additional money for making the championship.
