Bowfishing slingshots?
Can anyone recommend a good one? There seems to be more out there than ever before but of course, it's hard to wade through the marketing and the BS and reviews...anyone have any first hand experience with one they'd recommend? I'm intrigued by the portability and most of the shots I take would be relatively close so it seems like a good fit.
Small engine repair that ISNT Pyramid?
Not too impressed with their wait times or estimates anymore. Surely a town this size has more than one lawn implement/small engine repair shop? I have a chainsaw that needs some work done and I'm not about to give it to Pyramid to keep for a month to diagnose and 3 more to repair.
Humor me - already epic levels of lane drift, and getting worse, right?
I've noticed anywhere there are multiple lanes, even on totally straight roads (think coralville strip, burlington st, portions of riverside dr) the amount of lane drift is just insane. Sometimes they don't outright leave the lane or cross the line, but I'm forever giving my horn a quick tap at someone about ready to clip my mirror with theirs. Even following someone on a single lane road, many times im watching them ping pong both tires off the lines several times in a short journey. The wild part is this seems to be getting worse, not better, after the legislation making any sort of hands on mobile phone use a primary infraction!
What is going on here? The declining american attention span coupled with more Gen Z kids on the road? Is it the glut of elderly boomers all becoming senile all at once? Is it something else? Absolutely epic levels of lane drift the last few years are getting markedly worse it seems. Is it just me, cuz I have to think others are experiencing this as well.
Jonsered 2171 Value?
I have a Jonsered 70cc 2171 model saw. It is from the early 2000s, starts and runs fine, has a hard plastic case that comes with and still has manual. Wondering an approximate value as I don't want to hold onto it. Thanks in advance!
The chilling demeanor of Diane Downs (Small Sacrifices / World's Most Evil Killers)
I was re-watching the Diane Downs case recently and I’m still blown away by the story she tried to tell investigators.
She claimed a bushy-haired stranger stopped her on a deserted road and shot her and her three kids, but the documentary shows the reenactment she did for the police where she’s smiling and seems almost excited to be the center of attention. It’s such a haunting look at someone with zero remorse.
Has anyone else seen the Small Sacrifices doc or the World's Most Evil Killers episode on this? Her daughter Christie finally being able to speak and tell the real story in court is one of the most powerful moments in true crime history.
Wondering how long you could go on like this having zero reported income. What means do they have to find you and how long could this go on?
Long shot but every once in a while this sub turns into some great leads...
Looking to rent climate controlled warehouse space in Iowa CIty or Coralville. Any leads, options, suggestions and offers would be highly appreciated! Don't need anything fancy and wont be running anything large or industrial so wouldn't need it wired for 3 phase or anything like that.
thanks!
So I can watch HBO Max that I pay for without issue on my phone. But when I try to log in on my TV via ROKU using the HBO Max app, it says I have to "select my provider" which is never listed, and the workaround is to login given my info, and it doesnt work??
What gives here? Am I seriously limited to one device (phone), or just what is going on? I will try to take pics later and add/update, but wondering if anyone has seen anything similar.
Are the families involved that powerful?
The last wind storm blew this right to me. SE Iowa city. I love a good serendipitous exchange so was wondering if this is anyone’s mom/grandma/yourself.
Again, found on SE side a few days ago, nearest road would be industrial park rd and hwy 6.
