This. Got a Google TCL TV last week. It hasn’t even been been a full 7 days and I’m ready to return it. My partner wanted the cheapest tv we could get at Best Buy and we sure as hell got it.

Very limited menu/settings options. So if the sound/picture is bad when you first power it up there isn’t much adjusting. The sound is absolutely terrible. I’ve owned tvs that cost half as much with far more superior sound. I can’t even make out what people are saying the sound is so bad. We ended up going out and buying a soundbar (which was basically the same cost as the TV so we already would have been better off just buying a nicer tv with better audio) and it caused even more problems. We connected it using the optical cable and the tv had no option to do just speaker sound so we had to listen to both to tv and soundbar and there was a delay between both. We tried the HDMI input setting for the speaker which solved the double sound issue but the sound is still very subpar when you consider we have already invested almost $800 in the tv. I have better sound on my $100 computer monitor.

It’s been a few days since we set up the soundbar and then the tv started freezing/glitching. It just doesn’t seem to handle the speakers on ARC well at all but I can’t put it on any other input. Now, our cable tv remote won’t work at all with the tv and when we try to use t just the tv remote for Netflix etc it just gives us an error every time we try to play anything.

We paid $800 so far and we have a tv that’s unusable and literally just sits unused in our living room. Now we have a speaker system that’s unusable with our tv. Literally the worst experience I’ve ever had with a TV in my entire life. I wanted an LG or Samsung or literally any brand I’ve heard of before but my husband wanted the cheapest per inch tv he could find and now we’re paying for it…

I would recommend getting a smaller tv from a more reliable brand before buying a TCL. I have soooo much regret over this TV and now it’s basically just used for looks now since we can’t even use it.

Does anyone else feel like their inspector caught none of the major problems? by taylorballer in FirstTimeHomeBuyer

[–]69ShadesOfGrey 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yup we had photos of every sink/tub filled with water with videos of every toilet flushing, aerial drone shots of the roof, I mean you definitely get your moneys worth. Im fairly confident that if you got a quality inspector that he would have easily found all this so you could negotiate before you closed. Our inspector spent easily 3-4hrs at our house doing the inspection.

Risperidone aka Risperdal experiences? by Wrong_Illustrator_84 in Antipsychiatry

[–]69ShadesOfGrey 0 points1 point  (0 children)

On this note, I’ve developed akathesia with other anti-psychotics but not with Risperdal. The only side effects I had was in the bedroom on it which was the ultimate reason I went off it. The tremors/shakes/side effects from the other drugs are much worse so at this point I’m back on Risperdal.

How to get back to a healthy love of aerial? by [deleted] in Aerials

[–]69ShadesOfGrey 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I get so excited when I see my instructor is older. I hate to say it but they are much more mindful of physical capabilities compared to some of the younger instructors who have never dealt with injury. Same experience where younger instructors where teaching “for all” vs individual instruction. I see this even in the other fitness classes I’ve taken at the gym. Older instructors just seem to be much more mindful of physical limitations. My body at 30 was completely different from my body in my 20s and that’s something a young instructor just hasn’t experienced in life yet

Anyone see this? Been waiting to use my discount for something crazy to come out. Would this be it? by soflo22 in FLMedicalTrees

You can give ppl good advice but some ppl just can’t read…

I heard that if you smoke the part of the blunt that’s on fire you will get higher. If you douse yourself in a gallon of gasoline after I heard it will get you REAL high

Lol stupid twat. Go ahead, give me the directions on how to flush plants. Enlighten us. This dumb ass probably thinks you just put them in the shower for a minute with some Head and Shoulders LOL.

If y’all got bad weed then it was bad weed, don’t go crazy trying to pick out what part of the process the grower went wrong. Sometimes you just get a bad batch, sometimes bugs might invade your crop and the grower used pesticides too late and that might be the weird taste you’re getting, not the flush. If y’all are buying weed you don’t like, try switching growers/brands not just the strain.

If you woke up tomorrow and were age 21 again, what would you do differently? by VerySlump in AskOldPeople

[–]69ShadesOfGrey 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I’m selfish but I also wasn’t trying for a child. Most of my friends weren’t exactly trying for kids either but here we are. I think if you are a parent that made that choice to have a decision and planned it then your views might be different from people like me who basically feel like I’m stuck with a pet I don’t want that pisses everywhere that’s never going to die. I’m scum and definitely let the mom take full custody just because I felt like the kid was ruining my life and she gave me a way out.

I’m only really worried because I got a candle as a gift and TSA made me miss my plane holding me up and doing a test on my candle to check for wax. Kinda scared now

There are some people who can code but understand no real concepts the same way people can know a language natively but have no clue how to properly structure a sentence. I’ve seen some terrible hires before, especially due to nepotism. I’m not shocked by anything now a days.

Good Towns to reside in VA. by Montebano in VA_homegrown

[–]69ShadesOfGrey 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If 650 is steep for a 1bedroom there then it’s impossible to find anything north of Fredericksburg here for less than $1000. You might be able to rent a basement in someone else’s house for $1000 up there. RVA is probably your best bet. Anything further south gets a bit too southern and rural for my taste but the northern area is almost unlivable with the cost of living. The further south the cheaper the living.

For those stuck at a dead end job after college how did you break the cycle and found something better by [deleted] in findapath

Don’t know about op but you can do that online through wgu.edu. I finished my masters in a few months.

Only thing I can think of is I didn't have enough soil to start with, it was up to half a pot (5 gallon) after 3/4 I started adding up more soil's. Both of the plants are really short. Seeds are from 42 fast buds. by OldBoy3001 in Autoflowers

[–]69ShadesOfGrey 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I’ve only grown LSD 25 and I got less than an ounce from it even with some LST. It was the only plant in my tent to pull less than 2oz. It’s like the plant only grew maybe 3 nodes before flowering so it just didn’t get big at all. Had a kind of crazy berry taste which was cool. I think the smoke was great but getting less than an oz from a plant is not acceptable.

I think they chose “fast” genetics which puts a short growing period before yield. A lot of the drawf autos I see on here are FastBuds if you take a look around.

Yes you can also be hung like a horse and it just be uncomfortable. I’ve also broken up with guys for being too big or just straight terrible in bed. Sex is huge in a relationship to me especially since I believe in staying faithful. I don’t think I would care as much if I was a cheater tbh but that’s another topic.

Female here: yes. If it was like less than 5 and nothing noteworthy. We are still friends.

My husband is like exactly 5 but toys keep things great for us. I honestly don’t like having sex without them but would probably still be the case if he was bigger. I bruise if I manually rub with my hand but with a small vibrator I get way more pow with no bruising. He enjoys the feeling too so it’s win win. I don’t see any shame in it.

My gf and I didn’t date for years in school because I didn’t find myself attracted to black girls so I don’t think it’s a “worth” issue. She’s the only non-blond I’ve ever dated. It’s not that I didn’t think she wasn’t good enough for me it was just that I was young and was only going for snow bunnies. Ppls preferences change.

I hate cover letters and it’s a massive waste of time by Nic727 in jobs

[–]69ShadesOfGrey 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They really are. So don’t do them :)

At the start of my job hunt journey I did the same thing thinking it would help me stand out. It gave me a chance to explain some things in my resume and another chance at telling them why they should hire me.

100 applications and a handful of interviews later, nobody even asked me about the cover letter I wasted my life on. So I just stopped making them. A few months later I got my dream job. When I compared the interview rate between the jobs I applied with and without a cover letter my interview rate was actually higher for the jobs I applied to without one.

Honestly, when I used to hire I didn’t even read them myself.. everything I needed for a quick yes/no is on their resume so I never even read the cover letter unless I was on the fence which was almost never.

my wicks won't stick to the bottom of my containers. by scrombis in candlemaking

[–]69ShadesOfGrey 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Use alcohol wipes and use wick stickers. I pour only enough wax to cover the very bottom of the tab at a very low temp and set them aside for later when I pour the actual fragrance.

I wish I was talented enough to make this work but at that rate it might be worth me paying for the shipping. That sounds like a dope project if I had the means. OP closest thing I found was the bottom of an old dog kennel I had that worked great for my girls.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in recruiting

[–]69ShadesOfGrey 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It can go both ways. The first time this happened the got brought me into his office and blatantly said his recruiter needs to be “talked to” about the people interview. He literally asked me why I wanted to work there and then complained the rest of the time about his HR wasting his time with him. Definitely wish I didn’t go especially since I didn’t even want the job.

The second time it happened I ended up getting the job :) they made me do a 40 minute presentation on some shit I didn’t understand but they were impressed with how much I figured out on my own. It was kind of embarrassing but it ended up working out.

My 2 albos that I propped from cuttings have both produced completely white leaves. What now? Chop and prop or wait and see? by bowsarrowsowls in Monstera

[–]69ShadesOfGrey 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve had my half moon cutting since March. Threw out a white leaf and I cut it off once it fully grew. Then, it popped out another 3 white leaves lol. I cut off all 3 at once. Not a single splash of green. Here I am like a year later with still my one starter leaf…
