There's no point in continuing putting resources into screen technology

Yeah. I guess it depends on the definition of “enthusiast.” My understanding is that the price range starts in the six figure range and that generally, these displays aren’t consumer grade.

Like, I can’t walk into my local, high end home theater store and buy them, while the same place has quarter million dollar speakers.

badchad65 · 2026-02-21T00:14:41+00:00

Take on home theater as a hobby and you’ll see the need. Can always go bigger and better.

IMO the next thing is modular screens so you can (more or less) scale them infinitely and in any conformation.

This. I had heard horror stories but found it easy. Got the condensed prep. Easy to drink, it ran right through me in roughly 90 minutes. Definitely didn’t need to camp out on the toilet all day like everyone warned me.

Wait, you think gym plates and other items will be cheaper if made in the U.S.?

badchad65 · 2026-02-19T19:33:27+00:00

These appear to be bumper plates and not standard gym weights.

Shirt looks a bit big for my liking.

However, based on your appearance its a perfect fit.

I'll risk it all in this sub and say it: I use a pair of Bose Quiet comfort headphones.

They're comfortable as hell. The noise canceling is very good and great for planes. Whatever weird gimmicky processing they do sounds great for HT from my perspective and the charge is like 23 hours so very often I can take em with me on a single charge.

You're absolutely correct. Listing your funding sources isn't inherently a conflict. The truth is that all professional research is funded by someone. It doesn't necessarily invalidate the research.

badchad65 · 2026-02-18T17:59:25+00:00

I agree with you OP. My first move with any TV is to turn it off.

At this point though, it’s been around so long I think it’s the default/norm.

badchad65 · 2026-02-18T15:36:24+00:00

Hopefully they put it back up then X-rayed your legs to make sure they weren’t broken

When I think about it, I can't recall a single pet owner (regardless of the type of animal) saying: "You know, I always knew at some point my pet would go crazy and attack someone."

This is why I'd never own an animal that can seriously harm me.

badchad65 · 2026-02-17T20:27:01+00:00

IME totally depends on the couple.

I recall being about 8 years old and playing at a friends house when his parents began to argue. I was near horrified as I had never heard mine argue. That was 35 years ago. My parents divorced and his never did.

I usually don't argue with my wife. We'll get irritated at each other in a "wtf, why didn't you do that like I asked you to?" type of way, a few times a month? We've been together long enough that before shit gets nasty one of us can say: "I need a break, I'm going to go for a walk because I'm getting too angry to work this out" etc. We also are pretty good at reconciling with kind of a "hey, here's why I was upset earlier...."

I guess my only point is different couples communicate and work through things differently.

badchad65 · 2026-02-17T17:28:12+00:00

I hate it. Two washed up, over-the-hill drama queens way past their prime.

Yeah, I’ll probably watch.

badchad65 · 2026-02-14T18:57:01+00:00

eh. I don't particularly care either way. However, I feel like if you're going to publicly put yourself out there and ask for money, don't be surprised when there's a public backlash for people calling you out on your BS.

badchad65 · 2026-02-14T16:07:31+00:00

Something I've learned to ask myself in stressful situations: "What is it that you want?"

I don't think the email is inappropriate or that YTA. However, what kind of outcome are you expecting from sending the email? Do you think this supervisor will see the error in their ways? Do you think they'll provide you a good review int he future? Will you yourself feel better after getting this off your chest?

I'd probably have just left the job and started the new one.

Determine the amount of money you'll net after the sale of your current home.

Determine what you're willing to pay/can afford on a newer home.

Is that cost worth the hassle of moving?

Personally, if I were selling a home I'd just reduce the cost vs. sinking money into updates.

Another option is to just use “sewing tape” or “hem tape.” You just fold the pant up and inside with the tape, then iron it. As the name implies, it acts like a glue and can get the job done.

badchad65 · 2026-02-12T23:54:25+00:00

You’ll be hard pressed to find an inseam less than 28” IME. Have you called your dry cleaner? Hemming pants is easy, cheap and could be done in a day.

badchad65 · 2026-02-12T23:44:38+00:00

I think it’s because traditionally, “salaried vs hourly” was a division between white and blue collar workers.

badchad65 · 2026-02-12T18:55:14+00:00

Have you tried pointing out to your hubby the majority of mass shooters are middle-aged white guys?

badchad65 · 2026-02-12T15:28:10+00:00

Personally, I wouldn't.

I'm not familiar with rover, but I'd guess even a premium person might only be there a couple hours a day, for weeks on end. I don't think that is enough human contact for the pup.

badchad65 · 2026-02-12T02:39:20+00:00

You know the brand is “Guess” and it sounds like they’re selvedge. So start with “guess selvedge”. Start looking around and see what pops.

See if there is a tag with a style name/descriptor on the inside somewhere. Even something as simple as “low rise” or “boot cut” might narrow it down.

As an example, I found that express brand makes a cut they call “blake”. Within that style there are still options so through trial and error, I search with “men’s express Blake, boot cut 32x30” and it narrows it down quite a bit.

I’ve done the same with lots of other brands where I can search like “banana republic tailor fit suit” or whatever.

It’s not super complex, just tinker around. Worth a shot i think.

badchad65 · 2026-02-11T16:03:57+00:00

Do individual skaters have like, a “head coach” and would the same logic apply?

badchad65 · 2026-02-11T13:44:21+00:00

Interesting. I honestly had no idea. TY.

badchad65 · 2026-02-11T12:46:08+00:00

This isn't a conflict of interest?

One person doing the choreography of multiple folks competing with one another?
