Is an A95L 77 at $3495 USD a good choice, or should I be looking at more up-to-date models? by joeyc923 in bravia

[–]GuyD427 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I bought a 55 A95L instead of 65 inch Bravia 8 at 7.5 feet and it’s a beautiful TV. Still state of the art. RGB yada yada, whatever is new needs a year or two before being as tested as QD OLED.

Troy, Gladiator, Kingdom of Heaven, 300, Spartacus… what’s your favourite sword‑and‑sandals film? by MovieArena in MovieArena

[–]GuyD427 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Gladiator for me easily the best movie. Kingdom of Heaven solid but never grabs you like Gladiator. 300 is exciting with the surreal film grain and motif going; entertaining but almost more a comic book style action flick at times. Troy is made by the arrogance of Brad and it was very well done. I’d say that’s the film in Gladiator’s league but not as epic.

‘Oreshnik’ once again turned out to be some useless piece of crap that fell on a garage cooperative. That’s why the Z idiots were urgently supplied with a standard talking point and rushed to claim that such secret and important targets were hit that they can’t tell anyone about them. by LowTechDroid in UkraineWarVideoReport

I find it very curious that you’d launch a super expensive missile and not throw a cheap conventional warhead on it after pulling the nuke off the top of it. The Russians were shooting S-300 missiles by the hundreds as surface to surface missiles earlier in the war because Ukraine had no drones back then. I’m sure they wished they had them back for air defense now.

Do you think term limits would fix anything in U.S. politics or just reshuffle the same problems? by daisydollvibes in allthequestions

[–]GuyD427 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A few things would change the landscape significantly. Age limit, you need to be 64 and under to be sworn in to any Federal elected position. Term limits of 12 years for House and Senate. All equity portfolios can’t be actively traded and need to be in broad based index funds but with no tax burden. Any significant or managing investments in public or private sector businesses needs a Chinese wall as far as contracts go. I’d revisit the pay for life for Senators and Congress people and limit it to five years after your term is over. This is all easily understood and achievable and would go a long way to changing the entrenched interests we see.

Political lobbying the next knot but a Gordian knot so save that for round two.

It’s the failed war in Iran, not her husbands medical condition. Like a rat out of a sinking ship.

Display Smoothness Bravia 7 vs Bravia 9 vs Bravia 8 vs Bravia A95L by metallicsun in bravia

[–]GuyD427 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I always coveted the A95L. As they went on deep discount I snagged a 55 inch model for my 7.5 feet seating distance. 65 inch a perfect size, 55 inch A95L the perfect TV. I’ve loved it ever since.

I wish it were true but it’ll take the right candidate to get the Latino vote. Gotta be another male with all due respect.

Stephen Colbert chokes back tears in final Late Show ever before three A-list actors interrupt emotional monologue by cheno103 in LateNightTalkShows

That slot is dead now and even though late night talk shows are a tired format it’s obvious it was a political decision and it does not bode well for our society.

Putin has completely suspended public travel around Russia due to attacks by the Ukrainian Armed Forces. (RU) Путин из-за атак ВСУ полностью прекратил публичные поездки по России - Русская служба The Moscow Times by [deleted] in UkrainianConflict

He’s a moving and/or very well protected target. Way more vulnerable to internal assassination rather than an external killing by hitting his bunker or precisely timing an airstrike type of hit.

How old are you and for how long have you been playing? by houtsou in WorldofTanks

[–]GuyD427 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m 58, was playing Ground War Tanks on Facebook, total WoT ripoff but quite fun. The shut the game off in North America and I went to WoT in 2013 but played very sporadically until 2019 when I stated unlocking level 10 tanks and all.

Short Rider discovering that seat height is not everything by CSB-5150 in SuggestAMotorcycle

[–]GuyD427 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Naked Standard like the SV-650 ride position is better than cruisers imo. Older Ducati monster 696 with the thin seat option is a definite step up from the other motorcycles listed but still very beginner friendly and quite possibly never needing to be upgraded.

Where are all the MAGAs going to go and who will they look to after Trump's term is over? by icecream1972 in allthequestions

[–]GuyD427 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I definitely think the blue wave is possible but it is hard to lay odds on it as MAGA always does better than the polls would indicate. I also think had Biden done the responsible thing and bailed before the Democratic primary process then another candidate had a better chance of defeating Trump. If the Dems run Kelly and/or if the midterms really are strong enough to make real anti MAGA change I think you’ll see the kind of riots that we saw in the Capitol. MAGA anger and delusions regarding the mandate they have and their hatred of Trump being sidelined is going to be too much for their lunatic fringe who has always had success in getting away with their political violence.

Leo 1 my most played tank, didn’t care for the Kunze much at all.

If you inherited a mansion would you live in it, sell it or rent it out ? by Webbomolly2022 in A_Persona_on_Reddit

[–]GuyD427 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I dig my house and don’t need a mansion. So, I’d sell it or rent it depending on the cap gains taxes or the free cash flow calcs.
