I actually have no idea if there is any debate here or not, but I wanted to pick CF brains about their experience with certain washing machines. Anyway, we're in the market for a new washing machine (and dryer) and I've done a decent amount of research, but I'd like to get some additional first-hand experience if possible. The brand I've been looking into most is Speed Queen. They're the throwback, old school, never-going-to-break machines and have an amazing reputation. My only concern with them is the drum size. We're a family of 5 and at ~3.5 cubic feet, it's not very big. However, my understanding is that these things can be completely filled to the top of the drum, versus these new HE machines that fill-up around 60% at most. Maytag has a similar type model, as does Bosch. Anyone have experience with these machines? I'd be curious about the large-sized HE models that people have and how they've performed.

Was pointed out to me that it's time to start the thread for the upcoming season. Most of the new kids on the block have arrived on campus and we might have some other season related news breaking. So here's the spot this summer for reports/comments on things Hare's recovery, new players, speculation on the season and maybe news on special tournaments etc.

If any of you deal with anxiety, what are some good ways to handle it? I have had it a bit in the past, but for the last couple of months it has gotten out of hand, probably due to some stomach issues I have been dealing with, which the doctors have not figured out yet. The anxiety gets so bad that sometimes I vomit a lot and often times I have a difficult time catching my breath. I started taking anxiety meds and they seem to be working pretty well, but not always.

Thanks in advance for any replies.

For this segment, we explore groups people might not realize are still performing/touring/recording.

It’s OK if there was a band-split, then reformation, but even better if they’ve stayed continuously (or close to it).

For bands that continue to record new material, post a clip of a familiar song when the band was more “prominent,” and another more recent track.

Optional: Include continuity of band membership, in addition to the clip(s).

On That Note is presented each week on Cyclone Fanatic by @MeanDean, @CycloneRulzzz and cyclones500.

Last week’s OTN: All of a “Sudden”

I'll start with this, no specific reason, demonstrates the gist.

1979-1988 / 1989 / 1991-present

What are the differences between the 2? Other than the obvious. STL is slightly older and has a metro of 2.8mil vs 2.3. My gf is from STL and I've been trying to tell her that STL may be in the Midwest but it has more of a East/slightly smaller version of Chicago vibe. Not that that's a bad thing(I've always enjoyed my times there). KC is more like a smaller version of Dallas. I feel like KC is on more of an upswing while St. Louis City gets stuck in limbo in terms of city projects due to most of the money being in St. Charles County. While the snobs in KC suburbs in KS and MO may still be stingy in terms of projects in KCMO they still realize it's the flagship city of the metro. Same state and only 3 hours of highway between them but 2 totally different places imo.

Ahead of the 2025 season, every Big 12 team's win total is set between 5.5 and 8.5. Who's going to separate themselves from the pack?

Our (basic) iRobot Roomba recently bit the dust and we are looking for an upgrade. The old one was ok, not great. We have some carpet that is high pile and some hardwood floors and two pets. Lots of pet hair.

Any suggestions on which brand/version to look at? Preferably under $600 or so. Willing to spend that much if it actually works.

I got Directv Stream and MLB.tv so I could watch any game I want. Turns out that since the Brewers are blacked out in Iowa, I can’t watch their game on the MLB app even though Des Moines Fox 17 picked up Yankees-Red Sox instead of Brewers-Padres. Any workarounds?

The Iowa guy thread got me thinking about vices. Substance not other.. First off, your preference. I'm sure liking gummies after decades of not using it. So many alternatives available. Not hung over in morning. Always calming vs what booze brings. No calories.

Thanks so much to @Cyclones_R_GR8 for this thread topic:

“ How are your dreams, Scary, pleasant or just plain weird?
Do you have recurring themes to your dreams?”

I am going to let him share his, but it is really good.

I just have had recurring dreams over the years that I accidentally never quit the job I had in high school at a small supermarket in our tiny town, I suddenly needed to show up and work a shift after working my grown-up job. The dream just goes through that day.

How about you?
