Just graduated from ISU and moved down to West Des Moines for my job. Was wondering if anybody knew of any church leagues/pick up basketball leagues around the area that would be open to a "newbie" playing once a week or so. Thanks to anybody that has some insight!
Side Note: I'd like to think I don't suck at basketball, I did win a C-League intramural basketball championship last year lol

I need a new home printer. We won't be using it a ton but my wife is a teacher and she will often need to make 30 or so copies of worksheets. I'd also like to purchase a model that doesn't require crazy expensive ink cartridges. Any recommendations?

With the upcoming legalization of sports wagering in Iowa, does anybody have any recommendations on handicappers? There are a ton of them out there, some with pretty good records for past picks. Any thoughts?
I think we might be looking at the Best Picture winner come January. Only thing holding it back is that it's a Netflix movie not a big studio movie. Not sure if the industry will award a non studio movie best pic of the year just yet.
This has become quite the hot topic on Twitter. As LeBron's son, Bronny, starts playing on the AAU circuit some have become critical of LeBron's antics on the sideline, dunking in the layup line, etc. This clip has seemed to garner the most criticism:

In my mind, it's hard to criticize someone who is supporting his kid. Running onto the court is maybe a bit much, but hey, he's pumped for his kid.
