    New Lord of the Rings Movie: The Hunt for Gollum

    Peter Jackson is producing and Andy Serkis is directing. Supposedly out in 2025??? That is way too soon. Jackson started producing Fellowship in 1997, and it didn't come out until 2001. I don't see how this thing doesn't suck. If they use the original actors (rumor is they will), it will be...

    The long wait until a very mediocre football season has begun!

    I still have not forgiven Campbell for the Memphis game. Do they really have that much more team talent than we do? Anyway, somebody tell me why I should be excited about this football season because I am not.

    Voyager 1 is likely dead

    NASA hasn't said it officially, but the part of the spacecraft that functions most like a "computer" (it is too old to have a "CPU") is still sending meaningless data, and months after this started happening, NASA's engineers have not been able to fix it. Part of the problem is that this is...

    The thing is, we didn't just lose to a mid-major, we got HUMILIATED

    And that is a lot to take in prior to a long 8-month break. I am almost of a mind to just say, let Heacock retire. Rip that band-aid off now and get it over with. The defense has been underperforming lately anyway. Find a replacement earlier rather than later. Maybe Jordan Hankins, the...

    How long have you been posting about ISU sports on the internet?

    Just wondering if I have been posting the longest. I started on Usenet back in 1988 -- bang paths anyone?

    Non-paranoid AI thread

    I know there is already a thread about AI in the Cave, but it is filled with paranoia about SkyNet. I also don't think a reasonable discussion about ChatGPT and AI needs to be political. I am not worried about "evil AI" taking over, AKA "SkyNet". I am worried about us becoming dependent on...

    I would appreciate suggestions on motels for the 2024 eclipse

    Please only respond to this if you are familiar with this eclipse I am talking about here, which is occurring on April 8 2024. I was living in Omaha at the time of the last big one in the US, so it was a leisurely drive to Beatrice Nebraska. I looked closely at some eclipse maps, and the best...

    Do Bill Fennelly teams underperform nationally?

    Can't help but notice that Iowa got into the national championship game, while ISU has never been past the Elite Eight. ISU has always been in the Top 3 in attendance and fan support, yet teams with much less support outperform us.

    Any home security system experts here?

    I bought a fixer-upper house, which came with an alarm system. I know absolutely nothing about it, the realtor knows absolutely nothing about it (it was a foreclosure home), and the local company that serviced it has gone out of business. I am seriously considering ripping it out and selling...

    Netflix might buy DC from Warner Discovery

    Warner Discovery is a hot mess of a company anyway, it would be good to get DC out from under it.

    Jeremy Renner critically injured in a snow plowing accident

    A snow plow ran over one of his legs some how. The area is being treated as a crime scene because the plow would supposed to have safety measured to prevent this sort of thing from happening. Witnesses say Renner lost a lot of blood. I hope he is OK, I have liked almost all roles that I have...

    The board has a serious bug

    If someone is a T1 or T2 superfanatic, an gets banned for whatever reason, there is no way for that person to log in to stop the board from billing him or her. I once had this happen to me, and I had to delete my checking account to stop the billing. (I was having it billed to a debit card, and...

    Digital license plates?

    https://www.npr.org/2022/10/15/1129305660/digital-license-plates-california Expansive, but attractive nonetheless, especially if you have an upscale car. I can see a car company like Tesla including them as an option, built-into the car. That way, the plate would be part of the design, and not...

    There are NO Star Wars movies in production right now

    Disney just canceled development on the last movie that was in early production, the Rogue Squadron movie. Which means no Star Wars movies for the foreseeable future. All of the other movies that were in development (the Obi Wan movie, a Boba Fett movie, and so on) have either been cancelled or...

    Light and Magic on Disney+

    Great show. A lot about ILM that I did not know, especially the people who worked there. I have watched a half dozen documentaries about Pixar, never saw a story before about how it was developed at ILM. All the Pixar docs started with Steven Jobs purchasing it from George Lucas. An amazing show...

    Whatever happened to Omaha Biliew?

    Just asking out of curiosity. I doubt he will be coming here, or to any other college or university for that matter. I think he will go the NBA “G” route.

    Way too early football predictions?

    Now that Summer Dead Period -- that dreaded long wait between the end of the basketball season an the first football game -- is upon us, any predictions about football? Will we make a bowl game? How good will whoever steps up at QB be?

    If Oklahoma State wins the Big12 Tournament, who gets the automatic bid?

    Just wondering. It would probably go to whoever they played in the conference tournament championship game, but I am not 100% sure.
