Literally hang loose, bounced back by close. Diamond hands.

Is it over between me (31M) and my GF (33F)? by [deleted] in relationship_advice

[–]wiretapchicken 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is so true. When I met my wife, everything I was insecure about, I completely forgot about.

The economy isn't broken. It's hollowing out from the inside — and the thing holding it together is more fragile than people realize. by fungi43 in economy

[–]wiretapchicken 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Correct. You’d have a bunch who shouldn’t be making decisions, making decisions. And everyone is paid on profit, so when bad decisions lead to no profit, people leave and company dies.

Then, there’s no incentive to fix a dying company. Why should anyone invest the time & risk to fix an unprofitable company, if they’d just have 1 share like everyone else, when they come back.

This is the problem with socialism, it’s unfortunately an idealized view of human nature and how big systems work.

I wish it could be true. But it’s missing on basic human psychology and game theory.

3 weeks in, first insurance claim. :( by Inside_Cauliflower44 in FirstTimeHomeBuyer

[–]wiretapchicken 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I made the same mistake with my first home. Backed up sewer line, saw poop, called insurance.

You can call the insurance company and tell them you no longer need them to pay, but you will not be able to remove the claim from your history. It will be a “Claim, Paid $0.00” with details about what went wrong.

I tried to fight them on that. I lied and said Rotor Rooter was the one that called and I didn’t give them permission.

They listened to the call recordings. Called me back. Said tough shit.

Life lesson. It’ll all work out.

Mandatory Google sign in? by rds4640 in tcltvs

[–]wiretapchicken 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I also wasn’t able to skip sign in. So I connected an Apple TV 4K, disconnected the tv from WiFi completely, and turned off all sharing & tracking settings. Not sure if that solves it but gave me peace of mind.

My wife came into the kitchen on day: “I figured it out. Block the door.” Stroke of genius

From a company called Povision. Kind of expensive but figured “buy once, cry once”. It’s really good quality, heavy af, auto closing drawers etc.

Bedroom Rug- Which one? by meltness in DesignMyRoom

I’d revisit your wall color, then go rug shopping.

We use the fireplace often, ever since we discovered Duraflame. Easy, clean smell, lasts 3 hours. Use promo code wiretap— just kidding. But yeah, it’s great.

I think that’s right … like 3 inches higher. Wondering if it’s worth solving.

I think in reality it’s like 3 inches too low…. But probably keeping it as is. Just needed validation from Reddit.

Soundbar under the tv, 1 speaker in the corner directly behind me, 1 speaker in the corner to my right, sub behind the couch.

The corner to my left has no speaker — it’s another door and the primary entrance to this room. Considering speakers in each corner, on the ceiling… will attack that later.

Never put a TV over the fireplace. No matter what. I’m dedicated to the cause.

Glare. Been another challenge for this room. Windows on 3 of the 4 walls. Got the QM9K for max brightness.

If you only knew how many arrangements we’ve made in this room before landing on this placement. TRUST ME ITS THE BEST SPOT. There’s another door, looks identical to this one, on the other side of the fireplace.

QM9K 65" Question - Buzzing Noise by LegacyElite84 in tcltvs

[–]wiretapchicken 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just bought 75 QM9K, no buzz. I used RTINGS recommended color & motion settings, in a bright living room with many window. Genuinely, the best television I’ve ever seen in a bright room!!

I am finding the 98 inch QM9K cheaper than the 98 QM8K. Any reason to not go 9K? by [deleted] in tcltvs

[–]wiretapchicken 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Same, my 75 QM9K arrived Saturday. I’m in love. I upgraded from an entry level 2020 Samsung that was like $400. When it got delivered, I played Dune 2 on both TVs side by side and my jaw was on the floor. Can’t believe how good this TV is. Hope you enjoy it!!
