Evaluate the ROI on Education
Haha…in the game of life if your passion is acting, or painting, or golf it is a whole lot more difficult than if you like operating on people, logistics, actuarial science, or lab work. I love what I do, and it also happens to pay a lot. I have a ton of respect for people who work to work and...- Pucky Freak

Evaluate the ROI on Education
I take data on ROI of education w/ a grain of salt. Our job economy has undergone seismic changes over the last 5-6 years. Longitudinal data from years before that period are only so useful in career planning moving forward. The good news for young people today is a favorable job market for...- Pucky Freak

Phishing attempts…..show us what they have tried
My wife got a text for a free resort vacation and called the # to play along. About 10 mins into the extremely sketchy conversation, my wife: “Hey what’s your name?” “Uh, we don’t give out that information.” “Oh, really? If that isn’t f—-ing convenient.” “…”- Pucky Freak

Phishing attempts…..show us what they have tried
My parents got a slightly more sophisticated Amazon phishing email and fell for it. No money lost, but they gave their bank info over and had to close everything down and reopen new accounts.- Pucky Freak

Day Trespass fees for turkeys and deer
I’ve had luck asking for permission to hunt in IA, MN, WY, CO, & MT. In the 3 western states, the properties were thousands of acres. More often than not the properties were adjacent to leased ground of similar quality. There are a ton of landowners in remote areas who like hunters visiting and...- Pucky Freak

Great Social Media posts?
Them: “Are you a shed hu-“ Me: “NOOOOO!” I’m tempted to start hiding the damn things when I trip over them in the woods, to give the squirrels and porcupines a chance.- Pucky Freak

Rebuilding a rig instead of buying new
Yessir. I forgot rock sliders too. Rock sliders were over 50% off like new, topper involved a buy and a trade for a $700 net cost. Chains I converted from another tire size. Premium (Bilstein) front and rear shocks. 6-ply Cooper tires, OEM hub assemblies. Otherwise, lots of perusing FB...- Pucky Freak

Rebuilding a rig instead of buying new
Body and frame are the 2 most important components to be in good shape. Beyond that, research cost of the big parts like engine and transmission to know what you’re getting into. A year ago I bought an ‘08 taco w/ 225k miles for $8k and since have put about $4.5k in for a full makeover. 4 door...- Pucky Freak

Automotive question?
I’d start here, just my 2 cents. Trucks are not designed to be lifted aftermarket. It can create a host of issues w/ how the drivetrain parts are aligned, or less often, suspension system. No two trucks are the same either d/t slight differences in manufacturing tolerances. It is uncommon to put...- Pucky Freak

Make a stand for public land - Iowa 2025
Ok, good to know. Any insight on why we’re so quick to shake hands with the devil on governor’s tags? Are people generally unaware of how corrupt these schemes are in Western States, or what?- Pucky Freak

This bill is also advancing and on the House debate schedule, now renumbered as HF 473. There is also a note on the link explaining that the USFWS waived any potential loss of PR funds if the bill passes.- Pucky Freak

Make a stand for public land - Iowa 2025
This bill, now renumbered as SF 404 is growing legs. Lobbyists for IA Bowhunters Association and IA Sportsman’s Club have declared support, with no lobbyists opposed. It is on the full senate debate calendar.- Pucky Freak

Federal Land Sales for Affordable Housing?
I would be on board if sale of federal land was exchanged for habitat improvement or swapped for more land to prevent a net loss. In practice, that is a pipe dream. Everyone is already lined up with their hand ready for the cookie jar. I am guessing the proceeds will end up going to the...- Pucky Freak
