Severe Geomagnetic Storm Watch (and maybe big Northern Lights show)
I went looking for a little more information. I found this from the National Space Weather Prediction Center (I didn't even know that was a thing) https://www.swpc.noaa.gov/news/swpc-issues-its-first-g4-watch-2005 And this one from CBS shows which areas are most at risk... -

Salvage title question
Per the Iowa DOT site: A vehicle is considered wrecked or salvaged when it has repair costs exceeding 70 percent of its fair market value before it became damaged and had a fair market value of $500 or more before it became damaged. After repairing your salvage-titled vehicle, you can get that... -
Salvage title question
You can choose company retained salvage or owner retained salvage. Most people choose company retained if they intend to replace the vehicle. The settlement is usually a little higher in that case because the insurance carrier will then sell the car for salvage proceeds. In owner retained, you... -
Salvage title question
Hi, insurance professional here. If you submitted a claim and your insurance deemed it a total loss, they would have issued you payment for the total loss. Perhaps you used that money for the repair? In that case, your vehicle would have what is called a branded title (indicating to future... -

I like to put a little peanut butter (or PB2 powder) in the banana one. So so good. -
Help! I'm Fat - *** Official Exercise and Weight Thread ***
When my mom was a nurse practitioner, she talked to many patients who wanted to ask the doctor for whatever pill they saw mentioned on TV for weight loss. When she asked them what they'd done to try an lose weight already, most said, "nothing." They don't want to make changes, they just want to... -
Help! I'm Fat - *** Official Exercise and Weight Thread ***
Walking is so underrated as a form of exercise. I love the Ghost powders. I never thought of putting it in my yogurt. Noting that for my future self. -
Help! I'm Fat - *** Official Exercise and Weight Thread ***
Chicken nuggets are protein! They're not bad. I put them on salads frequently. I also make a yummy chicken nugget and cottage cheese bowl with some buffalo sauce and cheese. For me, it's all about balance and moderation. A registered dietician I trust says calories are king and protein and... -

Smoking Meat Questions and Discussion
Thanks to everyone for the feedback. There was a lot of really good info in this thread. I think I'll probably end up going with the one in the link below. Mostly because I can get it assembled and delivered (ain't nobody got time or space in my car for that)... -

Smoking Meat Questions and Discussion
I'd like to get my husband a grill/smoker for Father's Day. I've looked at a lot of options, but it's a bit overwhelming. I'd prefer it not take up too much room (storage is at a premium). Open to charcoal or wood/pellets. Prefer to stay under $400. Any recommendations? -
Ames Lager
Heard on 2GNC podcast that the most recent check for the Swarm beer to the Hawkeye collective was only about $200. The most recent Ames Lager one was $15K. Good job, Cyclones! (I also think Brent is some kind of wizard with all these partnerships he's generating.) -

Friday OT - Weird Interests
It's really not that weird (or uncommon), but true crime. I listen to a few different podcasts, and I visit the Iowa Cold Cases web site periodically to read about unsolved local cases. There are some crazy ones out there and some where it's clear the investigation just sucked. -
