Who you got winning? Can Sweden win twice in 3 years?

Who is gonna be the surprise non qualifier (and is it gonna be Estonia)?

Will Albania have their best finish ever? Some are saying it.

Do the Big 5 all finish top half for the first time in decades?

On That Note: Without The Beatles

April 10, 1970, is considered the informal breakup of The Beatles, as Paul McCartney publicly announced his intention to leave the group.

To mark the 55th anniversary, for this segment, we focus on highlights of group members’ post-Fab Four career. That includes solo songs, of course but also collaboration with non-Beatles. Also accepted: Side projects before the band split.

“On That Note" is presented weekly on Cyclone Fanatic by @MeanDean, @CycloneRulzzz and cyclones500.

Random starting point, I'll go with Paul. His self-titled solo debut LP was released a week after the announcement (a point of contention within the group at the time, among other points-of-contention) ... Album has a couple of hidden gems, this is one.

When will you be able to retire?

Need a little help here, my question is basically simple, at what age do you plan to retire. I reached my 30 years in IPERS this year, and I can hit my rule of 88 in November. Looking at my last IPERS statement I will bring in $2,830 a month being retired after I hit my rule of 88.
I love my current job and plan to work another 4 years, today I received a call about an interview for a teaching job in Missouri for next year. The pay would be a lot less than what I currently receive, but if I can retire in Iowa, and get the job in Missouri, I would be clearing roughly $13,000 more per year.

My wife and daughter are totally against me switching jobs, they keep telling me stay in the job you love and ride it out there for another four years and then retire. I keep looking at the difference in pay and if the job is offered, to move and take the chance. I need to get my ducks in a row, and will be calling IPERS tomorrow.

Basically what are peoples opinion one way or another?

Worst Movies Ever

Can’t remember if we have a thread on this.

OMG is Jeepers Creepers Reborn (the new one) absolutely rubbish. The acting is worse than a Mexican soap opera. The props are probably painted cardboard boxes and I’m pretty sure every single scene is on a green screen.

You could pay me $200 and I still wouldn’t sit through that again. It’s Hawkeye offense level ****.

YouTube TV Getting Ability to Split Into 4 Screens

This would be a major feature advancement! Hope it happens soon!


Friday OT - Baby You Can Drive My Car

@Mr Janny and I have an appt over lunch today that requires my car, so we spent an exorbitant amount of time figuring out where and when we would meet so he could drive my car. Because he drives 99.99999% of the time and we both like it that way.

What is your preferred spot in a car? Driver, or shotgun? Or maybe middle-back? Do you have any special reasons - like, I hate riding long distances in the back because I get motion sickness.

What supplements do you take?

The drinking thread got me to thinking about my overall health and wellness. I currently take a multi-vitamin, fish oil, and recently started taking magnesium as I struggle with anxiety and have read it can help with that. I've been thinking about also adding in a vitamin D supplement but haven't done that yet. Are there others out there that could be beneficial? I'm not talking prescription diet pill crap you see in Requiem for a Dream that get you addicted, but more natural supplements.

Players Era Tournament 2026

Iowa State is scheduled to play in the upcoming Players Era Tournament for 2025, but 2026 sounds like it's going to be a 32 team tournament style event with NIL payouts. Sounds like all teams that are participating in 2025 will also participate in 2026. If so, that's big time for Iowa State.

Trailer Back up Camera Problems

Last year I purchased a 2021 Grand Design RV (private treaty). It has a hard wired back up camera and the previous owner had a 2016 Silverado 2500. I have a 2024 Silverado and the camera does not work. In doing some research I ran across several similar cameras that were specific to a group of model years such as "GMC 2014-2020". Does this make sense that the camera id just not compatible with newer trucks?
