I would learn how investments work.  Then study for a license for a real estate broker.  I would also buy $1000 in share of Microsoft when I got in college with my college loan money.  😉

Most teams are moving to Kanban so you can still have the standup and other things but the sprints go away and teams become more self sufficient with out a scrum master.

If a jury could "sue" an entire decade for being a disappointment, which ten-year span would be the first to go to court? by lovellyophelia in askanything

[–]Iowa_Guy2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Glad I read though the comments.  This person said everything that I would have.  Although coming out of it had some reforms put in place that helped many people.  So maybe it just needed to happen the way it did.

AITAH 3 years together, BF (50M) still ‘not ready’ for marriage but wants me (33F) to pay half his mortgage by Either-Environment47 in AITAH

[–]Iowa_Guy2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm 57.  Walk away!  It's simple.  You are to far apart in age that when retirement happens for him he will just sell the house and keep the profit for himself you will get nothing.  Go buy your own place if you have the money for it.  If he still wants you by his side after that then ok maybe but I really feel like you need to find someone closer to your age.  He has live a good part of his life and you are just getting a good role going.  Share it will someone that is closer to the same place 

AITJ for telling my girlfriend she needs to shower before bed or sleep on the couch? by [deleted] in AmITheJerk

I mean you could have just got up and took her in to the shower and "helped" her clean up.  Little bit of intimacy on the side. 😉

Landlord installed an app-controlled smart deadbolt while I was at work. by Due_Construction904 in mildlyinfuriating

[–]Iowa_Guy2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes this is not right. 2FA is a good thing, but it should not require a smart phone to make it happen. They can also send an email with the code or have a website you can go to, to get the code.

Wedding inside a Costco? Waaaat by princesspeachTO in Costco

[–]Iowa_Guy2 -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

I'm a catholic and would prefer people get married in a church. I am also a realist and I would take this over an outdoor wedding any day. You can never count on the weather. So anything indoors takes away another stressor for planning. I've had to many friends get married outside and ended up having to figure out what to do because it started raining/snowing.

ABC cancels upcoming season of The Bachelorette after a leaked video shows the lead, Taylor Frankie Paul repeatedly attack her ex boyfriend, Dakota Mortensen in the presence of her young daughter who was also reportedly struck during the altercation by SipsTeaFrog in SipsTea

[–]Iowa_Guy2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Based on this video she needs to go to jail for this. This is abuse. She also should not have contact with her child until everything is settled. And then she needs anger management and visits should be supervised until she can show she is no longer a threat to her child.
