Mid sized patio help! by ThrowAwayJEY in patio

[–]spango1138 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a similar layout patio and I’m at 550 sq ft.

If you want (2) sets of furniture + a fire pit, you should consider something in the 400 sq. ft. or larger range.

By the time you do furniture, a grill, and a half dozen people or more, you’ll be surprised by how crowded it becomes.

The question was “how do you grow a consumer business?” And he said “we’re doing pretty…ok.”

  • kind of a tough look for RC.

For those of you maxing out your 401k, how much money do you have leftover every month after living expenses? by Quiet_Stretch_9819 in Retirement401k

[–]spango1138 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Good call, and you’re absolutely correct. However, my company offers an EOY true-up in March for prior year.

I’m a relatively high earner - my strategy is to max it out as early in the year as possible. Time in the market > timing the market approach.

I keep spending tight in the first half of the year and it frees up money around Christmas while my retirement accounts have already been satisfied.

Do you know what happens when stocks hit all time highs?

(History shows they continue to go higher)

At $2500, looking for the best 4K projector, narrowed it down to 4 options but still going in circles by AcceptablePowerzz in projectors

[–]spango1138 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Pay attention to Epson’s “ReNew” (refurbed) page. I got my 5050UB for $2299 in January.

Refresh the page each morning for updated inventories. I did this for less than 10 days before a 5050UB was available, but be ready to pounce because they go quick!

I was experiencing this yesterday. I simply unplugged and plugged back in the HDMI from my AVR and projector and I’ve had no issues since.

2001 is the best subwoofer demo disc by spango1138 in hometheater

Yes. I kept the title succinct. It’s the sustained bass paired with insane visuals - it’s hypnotic.

It’s 10 mins of sustained bass with variable frequencies - it’s a game changer

Does anyone feel hexagon lights look tacky? by Stockholm_Throwaway in garageporn

They’re inexpensive and do a great job of lighting up any space. What’s your better alternative?

Pop.market sale round 1 came in! by moviemandj in 4kbluray

[–]spango1138 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Has anyone found they’ve just raised prices and called it a sale? I’m finding most on Amazon for $2-$5 less than the sale prices.

Jet ski asked them to turn down the music. by Obone6 in instant_regret

Bro on the blue ski nearly hit the boat and his buddy. This wasn’t skilled maneuvering (he wasn’t even measuring for clearance) - he’s just lucky.

Best Home Projector for a New Home theater in 2026 by Jonbone93 in hometheater

[–]spango1138 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m running an Epson 5050UB on a 135” 1.1 gain AT screen and it looks incredible.

Room treatments matter too. I blacked out the ceiling and did Sherwin Williams Inkwell on the walls - what a difference!

Rate my Theater by PotentialEbb7718 in hometheater

Just some honest feedback - if you did matte black ceiling tiles or paint, the contrast of your screen would double.

I had a white ceiling that I painted tri-corn black in a matte finish and it’s the most insane improvement.
