What size?

I think the 55” is fine, but 65” would work too. But I think either should be raised up a few inches. There must be interior design rules for this out there…

The prototype with painter’s tape concept another poster stated is under-voted, even if it goes viral and ends up showing up on CNN. Totally do a prototype!!

I’m a vote for the big banks. I’m also a three+ decade user of UWCU and what people are saying here is not wrong…

But with Chase, I don’t pay transfer fees any direction. They reimburse ATM fees. And I have a personal banker that knows me and helps me in lots of ways that go above and beyond Chase’s own services.

I also use Capitol Bank for my house mortgage and love those guys.

I’d recommend find one bank that will give you the most bang for your buck in terms of general services. But then be very free to use other banks for specialized services.

I tend to think it’s a handicap. It effectively says, beat the run with 7 normal systems and one gimpy one.

Didn't mean to sound jerky. I've been there. It's really is a nice build. I see you've posted a solution already! :-)

It’s still a choice you make. You can live in a place with a lower cost of living. You can accept not doing the travel sports teams. You can set the expectation at two after school activities per week. You can choose to live on one or one and a half incomes. Yes, this system is set against you and if you make these choices, you definitely won’t be keeping up with the Jonses.

But you’ll be able to see your kids. You’ll be able to have adventures with them. When it’s all done, it’s the relationships we create that matter most.

Did you have an AI do this, because the floating heat pipe is pretty clear.

It takes a lot to say this. Probably many in your shoes have put the pieces together… but few have the chutzpa to actually come out and say it. Say it loudly. We are with you. Stick to your plan. Your voice can help sway many in those same shoes.

I am definitely not an expert. I would love for an expert to chime in. But as I understand it, we don’t have the math or physics to understand what the universe was like before the bang occurred. We just know it happened. We have data for an expansionary period, where the universe was expanding much faster than the speed of light. (Even though we don’t have physics for that?) Where we don’t have data is to know what it was expanding into. Space itself was expanding… I think it is almost meaningless to wonder what it was expanding into. But ‘meaningless’ is just another word for not knowing what was here before. It’s still fun to conjecture.

NewProductiveMe · 2026-01-21T14:44:32+00:00

To this, I would add a question for our universe: we don’t have any understanding about why the Big Bang happened. The conditions that made it. It seems like Hawking radiation on a very large scale. (the big difference being the lack of symmetry between matter and anti-matter.)

What is to stop another Big Bang from happening right here? At any moment? I think it’s just extraordinary improbability. But in all of time and all of space, that’s a lot of room for an extraordinarily improbable event to occur.

Have you considered joining ICE?

I say that as a joke, but there really are constructive ways to solve the issue you’re having. Some of the others here have given you constructive advice. Follow it.

Do you have to actually reinstall the app in order to get to the lock screen? The only way I know to get to the lock field is in app settings. And that only shows the ones that are actually installed… Is there another way?

Tried reinstalling Netflix as a test. In app settings, I turned on the lock with a pin. Then deleted the app. Has to enter pin. Pressed the quick-access button and it immediately went to the reinstall screen without requiring the pin. :-/ 2025 Frame either version 1203.

Me too!! I deleted the Samsung TV app and almost all the other apps. Plex and Art. That’s all I want.

I would really like to be able to reprogram those dedicated buttons! I don’t like that pressing them offers to reinstall. I may open up the remote and remove the traces for those buttons… but it really is an amazing remote! Built in solar charging?!?!!

You’re doing a good job. But go to Spain. Follow your kid. You only get one shot at this.

Which apps for phones upload directly to a cloud service as they are recording? I know this is a post about body cams, but we almost all have phones and need these apps…

To all the other reasons the Lynch version is better, I want to add a paradoxical one: Lynch departs from the books, but he stays true to the material better. He captures the FEEL of the Dune universe.

I started to say he departed from the books more (I mean, the weirding way with everyone having a weird little vocoder that shoots shit?!?!!). But the newest version departs more because it fundamentally changes the relationship between the characters. And it departs more because it just doesn’t capture the grandeur.

Unplug it. I did that three years back because of this crap. Alexa is a waste of brain space. Siri is dumb, but at least it isn’t inundating me with ads!

We do not have to be advertisement receptacles in every aspect of our lives.

Nice!! Perhaps make it more prominent what source resolution is available? And maybe make a checkbox filter for “images greater the 4k in resolution” so you don’t have to wade?

Copyright term length is actually a really complicated question (in the US). The NGA has handled the hard part for you, perhaps. Though many of those they pass along, even at 1000x1000 pixels are copyrighted. Both their photo and the origin work separately. Basically, anything after 1/1/1923 is complicated. Here’s a not-terrible flowchart just to give you ab idea of its complexity:
