It’s time to ask if this Iowa State team would beat this Penn State team

Most people have no idea when to use the recirculate button.
Once the cabin is cool, leave it on. Your AC keeps recycling already-cooled air instead of constantly cooling hot outside air from scratch.
That means less heat load, faster cooling, and less work spent fighting the outside temperature.
Think of it like the difference between trying to cool your house with the windows open vs keeping them closed.

BREAKING: For the first time in its 52-year history, the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission has approved the construction of a nuclear reactor based on core coolant technology invented AFTER 1960. It's about time!
MAKING HISTORY 🚧: @TerraPower’s Natrium advanced reactor project in Kemmerer, Wyoming, just received a construction permit from the @NRCgov.
It’s the first commercial non-light-water power reactor construction permit to be approved by the NRC. energy.gov/ne/articles/nrc-i…

Now that I've been through being a kid, growing up, and then having kids, it's clear that the main thing that differentiates people is simply whether they make an effort. Whether they're content to drift along with the current, or whether they try to swim.

this is shocking:
> US collects $2.4T in income tax, but spends $1.5T on fraud
> if we didn't have to pay for fraud, only $900b would need to be collected
> this means anyone with less 500k in income could pay *literally $0* in income tax
we don't need to raise taxes. we need to cut fraud

It's THAT time again. The latest print of my proprietary Casey's Pizza Inflation Index (CPI) is here. Since 2021, I have been publishing independent research on the theft of coveted gas station pizza purchasing power that is the result of inflation debasing your dollars.
2020: $2.50 (cost of one slice)
2021: $2.69
2022: $2.99
2023: $3.29
2024: $3.29
2025: $3.39
YoY change: +3.0%
Since index inception: +35.6%, (+6.3% annualized)
After a year of stability, inflation returns to Casey's pizza.

If the Fed doesn't cut rates multiple times, the economy, especially the job market, will get into even more trouble.
If the Fed cuts rates multiple times, the risk of inflation rising again painfully is imminent.
In short: the Fed is trapped.
