Idaho killings
In many instances it's there for exactly what's happening in this case. Think of the death penalty as the law version of a nuclear deterrent. With the death penalty as a possibility, you can entice suspects to plead to a life sentence to avoid the death penalty. It avoids a lengthy and costly... -
Friday OT - There’s Nerds Over There!
Oh man. No way I can pick just one game. I'll do each of my favorites (at the moment) on the systems I've owned. Even that's tough though. NES: Blaster Master Gameboy: Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening SNES: Chrono Trigger PS1: Final Fantasy VII PS2: Final Fantasy X Gamecube: Metroid Prime... -
*** Cartoons / Animation Selection Show today at 5pm ***
If you're including Dragon Ball Z are other anime in play? I feel like that opens a whole new can of worms if the list isn't limited to western animation. With that said here are my recommended adds: Aqua Teen Hunger Force Gravity Falls Adventure Time Courage the Cowardly Dog Invincible... -
*** Official #3 IOWA STATE vs Colorado Game(Day) Thread ***
On the road an opposing team with a NET ranking between 1 and 75 is considered Q1. If they beat us they would absolutely move up over 75 and it would make it a Q1 loss. Preferably we just win and enjoy the Q2 victory.- ISUser

Playoffs
As much as I hate to say it, I could 100% see UNLV jumping the Big 12 champ. Especially ISU. The playoff committee statement would be something like this: "UNLV won at KU and ISU lost at KU. By the law of common opponents UNLV is superior! Additionally they won by the same margin of victory... -
Arizona State Matchup
One thing I haven't seen mentioned yet that I think could be a factor is the 11am kickoff. ASU's two losses were also their earliest kickoff times of the season. 11AM at Cincy and 2:30 at Texas Tech. They did have one other 2:30 kickoff they won at OSU, but OSU finished winless so take that... -
Big 12 championship standings tiebreakers. Handy charts
I've been playing around with mred's calculator. Here are a few key takeaways I found on the three possible scenarios with ISU being in a 3-way tie for best record. Obviously ISU must win in all of the following scenarios. If Colorado loses to Oklahoma St., ISU is IN. No other outcomes affect... -
Your Scariest Flying Experience
I usually take about three round trip flights per year. I don't actually feel like I fly all that often. Just been doing it for the last 15 years. -
Your Scariest Flying Experience
I've got a couple. I was flying into Milwaukee once around Christmas and the plane landed during a snowstorm. I'd flown enough by this point to know about how long it takes the plane to decelerate on the runway and alarms started going off in my head as we were well past that point. The plane... -
Bracketology 2024
This is from The Athletic's most recent bracket projection this morning. I feel like this would be the monkey's paw version of getting to play in Omaha.- ISUser

Friday OT - Get A Job
I have lot of possibilities for this. I'm in engineering and am frequently involved in our group's intern interviews. I've had candidates: - Take over the interview and ask themselves questions so we couldn't talk. - Completely freeze up and not answer any questions even when we tried to lead... -
Engineering Degree
I'm the poster child for good AP and ACT scores not translating to a good GPA in college. I skated by in high school without having to study much, but that didn't work in college. Like I mentioned before I nearly had to drop out because I didn't know how to manage my time. Once I realized I... -
Engineering Degree
I'm an engineer at an electric utility company. I'd say the 101 course played a part in getting me to talk to the advisors and professors that helped cement the decision for me. It's been over 15 years, but I think I remember picking it because I saw it as a career where I'd be doing something... -
Engineering Degree
I was also undecided engineering and found the 101 course to be very helpful. I eventually settled on Electrical Engineering with a focus in power and it wasn't something I would have even remotely considered coming out of high school.
