    Ever Get Anything Interesting In a Package from Amazon, Ebay, etc?

    About 10 years ago, my wife's brother bought an iPod shuffle for their mom for Christmas. He just wrapped the package without opening it (one of those frustration-free brown boxes). She unwrapped it on Christmas morning in front of everyone, opened the box, and had a confused look on her face...

    Where were you on 9/11?

    As a fellow submariner, I'm a little confused. What do you mean by "nukes loaded"? I'm a little younger than you (commissioned in '05), but I didn't think any boomers were ever stationed at Pearl Harbor. Am I mistaken? I've heard similar stories from guys I served with, and it's difficult to...

    Where were you on 9/11?

    I was a freshman at ISU and had a break from 9-10 between classes. I usually used that time to read on a bench outside Coover, and I remember overhearing bits and pieces of conversations people were having as they walked by. At one point, I specifically remember thinking there must be some new...

    TCL TVs?

    I have no experience with TCL, but my opinion is to avoid the built-in Roku. Just get the TV you want and buy a separate Roku device. In my limited experience, the dedicated devices are faster than the built-in software, and as Roku comes out with better and faster devices, it's easy to...

    On-line MBA Suggestions

    I also have an engineering degree from ISU and an MBA, so I'll throw in my 2 cents. I did an evening in-person program at the University of Richmond several years ago. The Navy had just sent me to Richmond to be a recruiter after my submarine tour, and I ended up staying after meeting my wife...

    Password Managers

    I use Keeper, and apparently I'm the only one, but it's what I started with and what I'm used to now. I have their family plan, which includes 5 accounts, so my wife and I and both of her parents have our own accounts. After I talked it up, my parents bought the family plan too and share it...

    Where should I move?

    I've lived in Richmond for 10 years and it definitely fits what you're looking for. I've never thought about it being like Des Moines, but I'm not all that familiar with Des Moines either (from IL originally). Personally, I wouldn't want to live in the Northern Virginia/DC area due to the...

    Friend that works at ESPN

    On the other hand, the cancellation of the NCAA basketball tournament didn't affect us at all. Imagine if that had happened during the Niang/Morris years.

    Friend that works at ESPN

    I'm on board with this if they go that route. It was 1 of 2 football seasons I completely missed due to being on a submarine for 6 months. Sounds like a fun way to experience it for the first time.

    Are office mailrooms still a thing?

    Definitely still a thing, especially with larger office buildings. Someone has to accept and distribute packages and other important mail (for example, documents that require original signatures). I'm not sure how it used to work since I'm somewhat younger, but in my experience, it's often an...

    The Two Powerhouse Football Conferences

    I think you're the one that doesn't understand the metric he used. Please explain your bolded statement. The metric used in the OP is an average strength of the teams in the group, not a total as you seem to imply. Thus, the average Big 12 team is better than all but the average SEC West...

    Anybody have hulu live?

    There's just no CBS for me. My understanding is that all of the "Big 4" networks are locally owned, so the streaming services have to make deals individually. There are no "national" feeds. So, which service carries your local channels just depends on where you live. In my case (Richmond...

    Anybody have hulu live?

    I tried 3 different services before settling on PSVue. Hulu was way better than Sling (didn't even use it for the whole trial), but I agree with others about the guide and pausing issues. PSVue costs a little more, but I think it's worth it. One other consideration could be which service...

    *** Official Texas Tech VS IOWA STATE Game(Day) Thread ***

    Did anyone else notice the wind tunnel "cyclone" in the Texas Tech commercial? I thought it was a new ISU one for a second.

    Media players for running/jogging

    This is what I use for running, and I love it, although it probably doesn't play nice with iTunes if you're really committed to that. I have all of my music in mp3 format. I had one that died on me - I think from water/sweat getting in the USB or SD card port. Now, I cover up both ports with...

    Shakur Juiston on njcaatv.com tonight

    I hadn't followed UNLV this year, so the thread bump prompted me to look up how they were doing. I learned that they also have Will Clyburn's brother on the roster. Sorry if that's old news, but I thought it was interesting.

    *** Official Maryland Eastern Shore Vs IOWA STATE Gameday Thread ***

    Same here. I was leaving a holiday party and my phone said 64-34. When I got home it said 70-50. After I changed clothes I saw the final and was very confused. It was the Yahoo Sports app. Very strange.
