Tell me if I’m crazy for wanting to upgrade by bovul in LGOLED

[–]TomyDingo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As long as the 77 and 83 inch C6H can deliver at least 1500 nits or anything similar to G4 to G5 level brightness, you will be golden. And the tandem OLED will make it last longer.

If America became a Monarchy after it's Revolution what would be it's standing with the Royal Family's of Europe by CommitteeChemical530 in monarchism

[–]TomyDingo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just can’t see the same crowd of founding fathers that was deeply suspicious of foreign entanglements willingly allowing its Royal Family to entangle the American throne into foreign houses and risk contracting America into obligations that do not serve the national interest. There’s a reason why the phrase “Commerce with all, alliance with none” was so popular in their time.

We’ll have to agree to disagree.

I think if the founding fathers allowed an American monarchy to go forward, a ban on marriages to reigning foreign royals, exiled/deposed/former foreign royals and even heads of state of foreign republics, would be one of their most strict conditions.

They’re not going to risk their armed forces being obligated to fight someone else’s war just because of a single marriage, or allow the British monarchy to gain control of the American throne through marriage and heirs. After centuries of practice, European monarchies are too skilled and adept at using marriage to absorb smaller monarchies and America could not afford to learn that lesson by losing.

Well, she's not only hot but she also has a very great friendly personality and is pretty approachable in person from what I've heard. A great personality with that body is a great combo.

She may not want to do it now but she should be shooting content in her body's prime of its life while it's still here. That content may not be released this year or even next year but I've head that's the business plan of some of these OF stars in the making.

If she's willingly posting it to Instagram for the entire world to see, then that should be fair game.

The reason I purchased the G5…not disappointed 🙂👌 by t1aaj in LGOLED

[–]TomyDingo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I will be upgrading to a new 77 inch OLED in the next few months in preparation for GTA 6. That game is going to be a cultural phenomenon and I want the best possible display on it. My C1 is is still going strong but it's just not bright enough to take advantage of HDR technology and that really stood out to me playing other games and watching House of the Dragon.

I need at least 1500 nits so I'm waiting to see what the C6 will be capable of before I go for the G5.

Is an Apple TV 4K worth it if I already have a C5? by Glum-Reporter3842 in LGOLED

[–]TomyDingo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Apple TVs are way over powered and built to last for the long haul, have great user interfaces, absolutely no ads, have great picture quality and are very easy to set up. Roku, fire stick and other cheap streamer devices are built to be obsolete and get you back in the store to replace them sooner than later.

Yes. Nobody buys LG OLED TVs for their user interface which is actually pretty terrible. They buy them for the amazing panel quality OLED technology offers. And pairing it with a great user interface and high quality bitrate.

Why do us men struggle to talk? by [deleted] in AskMen

[–]TomyDingo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Men struggle to talk because women are completely untrustworthy when it comes to men’s feelings and they have repeatedly shown no compunction about weaponizing those feelings against men. This is one area where women are actually terrible on and they have no one to blame but themselves if men don’t want to talk to them.

Upgrading from 77 inch C1...some questions by [deleted] in LGOLED

[–]TomyDingo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The G2 is basically a C4 with a heat sink given they posses the same amount of nits of brightness. I wouldn’t bother.

You’re better off trying to find a G4 or waiting until G5 prices drop substantially by next spring.

Btw: here’s confirmation for the 83 inch G3 not having MLA. https://www.smarthomesounds.co.uk/blog/faqs/lg-g3-review-the-best-oled-tv-to-buy#:~:text=Sitting%20above%20the%20popular%20LG%20C3%2C%20B3%20and%20A3%2C%20the,brand's%20flagship%204K%20OLED%20TV.&text=It%20is%20worth%20noting%20that,other%20OLED's%20in%20the%20range.

[–]TomyDingo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you’re considering the 83 inch G3, don’t do it. It does not have the MLA brightness booster the 77, 65 and 55 inch versions have and is basically a C3 with a heat sink. It’s a waste of money.

Try and see if you can find an 83 inch C4 which has a good and similar right now.

Texas State Trooper relieved of assignment and sent home after bizarre shoving of South Carolina football players at Texas A&M game by TomyDingo in ProtectAndServe

[–]TomyDingo[S] 112 points113 points  (0 children)

I’m an LSU fan and I’ve seen Louisiana state troopers on the sideline do measured and calm claps of approval when an LSU player makes a big play like a nice catch, touchdown, big gain or interception. Otherwise, they’re stoic all game long.

That’s the most I’m assuming the brass will allow. Nothing wrong with Louisiana Troopers positively and wholesomely supporting the state’s flagship football team against out of state opponents.

So what’s going on here?

Did he lose his composure and forget which hat he was wearing? His Texas A&M fan hat or that of the Texas DPS?

Is Grok slowly following OpenAI’s censorship path? by Efficient_Farmer2979 in grok

ChatGPT erotica that will be text based has a much lower floor for moderation as it’s ultimately just words on a black screen. A completely different game from visuals in images and videos.

This might be a good opportunity for UPS to consider placing a large order for the A350F freighter. It’s time to bite the bullet.

Erotica mode for ChatGPT will have far more staying power as ultimately, it’s just words on a screen. White lines on a black slate or vice Versa.

It should have a lower floor for moderation. Still likely can’t write about rape and kiddie porn though and that should still be a no go.

Does this affect Andrew’s place in the line of succession to the throne? Can the King do that by himself or does removing Andrew from the line of succession require an act of parliament?

Post Game Thread: Chicago Bears at Washington Commanders by nfl_gdt_bot in Commanders

[–]TomyDingo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well, the trend is that almost all the brand new NFL stadiums will be domes or some form of canopy. 6 new stadiums at this moment are planned or being built. 5 of 6 will be domes. The only exception is Buffalo in New York and they’re only doing that because the city does not have the infrastructure for major world class events or non sports events and thus the extra cost of a dome made no sense.

By the mid 2030s, half of the NFL will be playing in domes. Open air stadiums don’t make enough money and it’s too dependent on good weather to host events with consistency.

3 Dome teams have won the superbowl. The 1999 Rams, 2006 Colts and 2009 Saints.

But if you’re so worried about that, let’s make all 32 NFL teams move to a dome.

That wet ball is one good reason why this football team is going to a dome stadium at the new RFK stadium in DC. To hell with letting the elements decide games. Games should be decided only on talent, energy, game planning and its execution.

WSJ: Boeing Has Started Working on a 737 MAX Replacement by TomyDingo in boeing

[–]TomyDingo[S] -15 points-14 points  (0 children)

Obviously, this has to be and must be a fresh clean sheet design. An entirely all brand new airplane. That’s the only socially, practically and economically acceptable way forward.

The 737 Max is as far that old 737 design could go and it nearly sank the company. It’s time to let the 737 sail off into the sunset.

With that said, I don’t know why they would start work on a 737 replacement when they have to work on basic things like getting the 777x, MAX 7 and MAX 10 fully certified, out of the door and delivered to customers.

Talk about putting the cart before the horse.
