    Howard Brown at QB?

    I've been really happy with the offense, but I would not mind if we cut out the quarterback runs

    Roth IRA vs 529

    This article from Morningstar does a nice job of explaining the pros and cons of each option. I tend to prefer the 529 method as I think it's cleaner and the tax deduction is nice in Iowa. Good luck! https://www.morningstar.com/articles/920020/can-i-use-a-roth-ira-to-pay-for-college

    Worst rated beers

    I'm really into sours right now and I typically enjoy Toppling Goliath beers. My wife was so happy to bring home their Strawberry Shortcake Sour. It was the worst. I couldn't even drink it. I gave it to a friend and she threw it away.

    CW child was/is in ER and Hospital last couple of days...

    One of my daughters was hospitalized with RSV at 8 weeks old (back in 2016). It was a very hard experience, but the health care workers were incredible. Now we can look back and see the silver linings, but it was miserable at the time. My thoughts are with you CW!

    Metronet buried fiber optic cables.....

    One quick question for the group: My 12 month discount is ending at MetroNet. Are they like CL/Mediacom where you can just call and ask to be put on a new special? Or is it just regular pricing going forward? Not a huge deal, but might slide down in speed to keep the price the same.

    Metronet buried fiber optic cables.....

    Centurylink does not give a s### about residential internet service and it shows when you try to contact them. I used their DSL for a long time and it was great for what it was, but DSL don't cut it in 2021 (or 2015 really). If your options are CL fiber or MetroNet Fiber, I wouldn't feel as...

    Einstein Wrong?

    I get the feeling that this is the type of article that 10-20 years from now will admit they were wrong and we just didn't understand something correctly and that Einstein was right

    Metronet vs Mediacom

    Count me in for Team MetroNet. I've been with them as soon as they got to my neighborhood in Ames (September 2020?). Service is incredible. One small outage for an hour or two in my entire time with them. Mediacom has been down twice in the past week in Ames. The technology fee is a bit...

    Stimulus...have you received yours?

    I'm wondering if this happened to anyone else. I received my first two stimulus amounts via direct deposit. I paid my 2020 taxes via the same bank account, but for some reason this stimulus is coming via paper check to be mailed tomorrow. I have no idea why this one would be sent via paper...

    MetroNet Ames

    Good point by @Juib. I was on price for life with Centurylink and that was going smoothly and eliminated the annual call. However, the highest speed available in my neck of Ames was only 12 down/1 up. That's not going to cut it in today's day and age, especially with Covid. If Centurylink...

    MetroNet Ames

    I agree with what other people are saying here. If you are testing internet speed and getting 200/200 and ESPN+ isn't working, it's probably not the ISP's fault. I switched to MetroNet from CenturyLink DSL. While I've noticed a huge improvement, I realize now that not all the slowness was...

    MetroNet Ames

    I've had MetroNet for a couple of weeks now in Ames. I have mostly good things to say. I consistently get the speeds I'm paying for (200 mbps up and down). They were down for about an hour yesterday which was not great timing, but I remain optimistic. Overall, I'm happy with how things are...

    Iowa State announces approximately 15,000 fans will be allowed to attend Oklahoma game

    I think this is completely appropriate. Well written, thoughtful, and straight forward. I'll get blasted for this, I feel like Jamie has handled this situation very poorly, but this is absolutely the way to lay it out. I'm sure people will complain about it from both sides, but I think he's...
