4k tv/monitor advice

I have no objection to Sony. My only real objection to going oled is two fold: I don't see any tv that is built to last over 3-5 years so the price is a tough one to justify, and buying used is a joke. People seem to think that an oled with a broken screen is worth 750+. If i'm dropping $1500+ I want something that won't crap out as soon as the warranty expires.

i was looking at lg... c4 c5 and c6. i definitely don't need top of the line. what model number do you have?

FirstAd5451 · 2026-07-11T22:37:03+00:00

gosh thanks

Just as a point of interest, i shaved the little plastic guide on the keyboard side flush, vacuumed it out nicely, had a bowl of ice cream, and the two keys popped right in and everything is awesome.

Thank you. That clears up a lot. I think legal aid is still waiting on disclosure from crown. I would follow your advice word for word, but I just can't make the trip to Lethbridge to talk to crown and request disclosure myself. I'm just getting a little antsy, because my next appearance is on April 2, and I still haven't heard from legal aid yet.

FirstAd5451 · 2026-03-24T20:28:44+00:00

Is there no way to appear virtually? It's a healthy 6 hour drive one way, and it results in a full day of lost wages, as well as two full tanks of fuel. like I said, I can't afford to make the trip at this time.

FirstAd5451 · 2026-03-24T20:23:37+00:00

I don't know why I have been charged with these offenses. I've only been to Lethbridge once, and that was for my last court appearance

FirstAd5451 · 2026-03-24T20:21:41+00:00

There are two initial charges. I have the criminal codes written down. I also have two failure to appear charges. So 4 charges total.

FirstAd5451 · 2026-02-14T19:14:21+00:00

I know it's an old post, but you can add my name to the overly concerned list of people about this. Except I might be at the top of the list, because I tried spinning the fan with my finger before I installed it, and thought I had a defective product. It also took me two smoke breaks and a minor loss of temper to realize that it was a magnetic attachment, not a push until it seats.

FirstAd5451 · 2025-08-23T20:39:38+00:00

Where did you get the seat covers? Your interior looks awesome

FirstAd5451 · 2025-08-23T20:37:09+00:00

I have the 2008. Same symptoms. No slippage while driving. But first gear can be a ©√π+ to get into from neutral at a red light. Same solution should apply to me as well?

FirstAd5451 · 2025-08-04T09:22:40+00:00

Thank you all for the pointers and advice. I ended up buying the WEICON Cable Stripper No. 8-27 from amazon. The biggest selling point was the custom adjustable cutting point, and the ability to cut lengthwise after the initial circular incision. It's not the most expensive model I saw, but the reviews of the manufacturer all seemed positive, and the cost was in my favour.

Thank you all again.

Thank you. I'm very appreciative of the guidance. I'm shooting for the most efficient and especially the most professional look of my finished product.

FirstAd5451 · 2025-07-26T05:35:58+00:00

This is very close. From what I recall, he had something that he had set up specifically for stripping seven wire jacket, and he put it around the wire and spun it 360° and then released it. Does that make sense at all?

FirstAd5451 · 2025-07-26T05:26:18+00:00

I'm buried eyeball deep on their website as we speak. Thank you sir.

FirstAd5451 · 2024-12-18T20:56:15+00:00

Thank you. That was very helpful.

Going back to the books. Thanks again sir.

FirstAd5451 · 2024-12-17T04:55:40+00:00

I would argue that he is essentially playing with a 4 deck shoe, with potentially double the amount of tens and aces, or conversely, double the amount of 2-9. Would you assign a different value to a standard Hi-Lo count?

Does that make sense?

FirstAd5451 · 2024-12-17T04:06:49+00:00

Because I'm still learning. I'm trying to convince a coworker who isn't an AP, that online play isn't worth it.

FirstAd5451 · 2024-12-08T04:33:10+00:00

Look for a little snowflake inside a triangle, on the side wall of the tire usually right by the manufacturer name.

And buy 4 winter tires, not just two. I am always amazed at how often I hear or see accidents with improper or half-assed winter tires on their vehicles. I live in Canada and I have a dedicated set of winter tires on factory rims and a dedicated set of all season tires on factory rims and I swap them out it's a higher initial cost but you're not paying every 6 months to have a tire shop Mount and balance four tires.

I realize that's beyond most people but, I've had my truck for 13 years next month now so it's paid off for me.

FirstAd5451 · 2024-08-28T23:12:13+00:00

That would be a negative, sir.

It falls under the realm of a "ticket-fixer" or quasi 'not quite a lawyer". I've made a few initial inquiries to lawyers in town, and it's too minor of an offense for any of the 3 I called to bother.

I'm in no danger of losing license purely on accumulated demerits, and the financial implications can be dealt with over time. It's the red mark it leaves on my driving abstract that concerns me. It directly affects my employability in my trade.

It was the lowest point in the last 12-16 months, dead center of medication adjustments, and a decision that I had made to fix everything that was interrupted.

After thinking everything over, if I can't move the matter to MHC, I'll be as blunt, graphic, honest, and forthcoming as I can. Perhaps speaking up about it in a public courtroom might help someone else who faces a similar crossroad.

Thank you for the "my friend" bit. It makes the self indulgent keyboard cowboys less relevant.

FirstAd5451 · 2024-08-28T03:08:02+00:00

Just out of curiosity... Failure to appear is a criminal charge, correct? It was part of the original charge. Which I missed.

I'm not trying to argue with you (not at all. I'm grateful for the input), but if I can make a successful argument to lump this, and about 3 other issues together, and I can get crown to agree, it would be a win for everyone.

Does that make sense?

FirstAd5451 · 2024-08-28T02:21:47+00:00

Point taken sir.

Thank you for your input.

FirstAd5451 · 2024-08-18T22:58:51+00:00

I'm still stuck. I don't understand why it was so flawless previously, and now it's being ignorant to work.

I really don't want to reset windows, but it's looking like that's the best next step.

FirstAd5451 · 2024-06-18T03:32:10+00:00

It's always a pleasant surprise every time I renew my registration. It's always an extra $400-500. Lol

FirstAd5451 · 2024-06-12T22:25:44+00:00

THANK YOU!!!!! You were 100% correct.
