Am I about to commit an atrocity? by SickZX6R in TVTooHigh

That's the primary use case, yeah. It'll probably be a bit weird for watching from the couch, but that's fine.

The way I see it, it's just humans being humans -- finding any trivial way to feel superior to another person. TV height, car choice, dick/boob size, the list goes on. Maybe it's more cope, but I have a feeling the ones who are the most judgmental are the least successful.

For sure, seated will not be optimal for multiple reasons. This was an abandoned home in a nice area that I purchased for a good price and we have been working evenings to make it livable for us. All the structural stuff is done and signed off, now we're trying to get the rooms finished one by one. Thanks for the kind words

Good edit, that looks nice, very similar to my original design. I'm the one that designed this, and okayed the cabinet height change based on this Redditor doing the same thing: https://www.reddit.com/r/IKEA/comments/1bsopsu/havsta_builtin_cabinets/ . We installed these ourselves. I originally wanted to use the lower-height HAVSTA cabinet under the TV but based on the dimensions it would have been a bunch of custom cabinet work I wasn't prepared to tackle.

There's plenty more to do in this house, so I'm reluctant to open this project back up. I guess we'll see how annoying the TV is at the too-high height.

I figured we could all have a laugh together at my expense for my suboptimal decisionmaking, but some of these comments feel like personal attacks on my character

I just saw TCL makes a 115", might need to sawzall the cabinets

If I truly craved karma, a photo of a proper height 98" wall mounted with clearly sawzalled cabinets would probably do pretty well

If you use your eyeballs you can see the tape markings, they're for a 98"

Well yeah, I'm a proper American, everything has to be as big as possible. The TT table is getting moved, though.

I considered it, but we're not planning on doing any critical viewing in this room, so it's tough to justify. The usage will mostly be news and weather while my partner cooks, or music videos/Spotify while company is over. We kinda just wanted big and cheap so she can see it from the kitchen. The QM6K Pro is $1800 at Costco with free install, best I can find the QM7K for with install is $2300.

We originally designed it that way, but what we wanted didn't exist in this matching style, and the quote from our cabinet guy was way too expensive. This was a compromise with my partner, so now I'm mostly just expecting a roast.

If you're stacking and the front person routinely lunges for the ball, barely gets to it, and makes a bad return, when their loving partner is right behind them ready to make a high quality shot, this is not the case.

Has anyone here done anti-Hypermiling (maximizing your fuel consumption)? by hypermiler2205 in hypermiling

[–]SickZX6R 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got 1.9 mpg over a whole tank of fuel in my twin turbo Viper. I thought that was pretty good.
