You can also use your own speakers/amplifiers with a Sonos Connect. Where Sonos comes out ahead of an Airplay-only device like Express is that Sonos does not require your phone to constantly be connected and streaming via WiFi - particularly useful if you are walking around your house and have multiple Sonos players -…

I read all of this, and am now sitting here stewing in rage and sadness while pretending to work.

God this shit burns me up. I take for granted being big and surly most of the time. I want to be a fucking avenger, but specifically against rapists and their rough equivalents.

True, my comment was worded a little strongly at the end there - I agree with your more eloquent clarification.

I feel that. But the implication to me with the word "bored" is that one has the energy and inclination to do something, but no direction as to what that thing is. Needing a break or some downtime is not the same as being bored.

Productive doesn't equal "working in exchange for cash." It means not being a passive bag of meat in front of the TV or some equivalent - doing personal projects, learning shit, teaching shit, etc.

OK I guess I should have clarified - I'm talking primarily about personal time. If you are a de facto slave and doing work that could be automated by a sufficiently good programmer and/or engineer, sure you can be bored and free from my disdain.

I wouldn't call myself a terribly productive person, but in a similar vein one of my bigger pet peeves is when people tell me how "bored" they are. To me, there is literally never a reason to utter that phrase if you are not severely mentally handicapped.

I didn't see anyone specify how the guy that was in his car under 12 feet of snow died - just exposure/frostbite I guess or was he asphyxiated?

Another option depending on how you use the room and budget concerns - a cantilever mount that can extend out and rotate the display 90 degrees clockwise. I.e. when it's in the resting/closed position, it's recessed in portrait orientation; when you use it, it comes forward and rotates to landscape orientation.

It won't matter from the perspective of viewing experience*, but it's possible that it could be less obtrusive aesthetically since only the edges would be proud of the cabinet, and the bulk of the TV would be in the existing empty space. It's really hard to say.

Get a nice heavy-duty cantilever mount, and have the 80" TV sit just forward of the cabinet? Depending on the model and the way that the edges are beveled on some, it might only protrude 1-2"

I guess I always associate playpen balls with body fluids, mold, and the creepy crawlies that are attracted to them. I've seen things, man...

I'm told that such a desire is a sign of autistic tendencies. If you can get the material constructed large enough that there are no seams, or arrange it such that the seams fall on areas that receive little foot traffic (e.g. under furniture or near the borders), I guess you wouldn't need anything more than a swiffer…

I've always wanted a room in my house where the floor is made entirely of the material used in yoga mats. So squishy and wonderful.

Well for this guy, perhaps a strip club is one of the places where he feels like he is not the most creepy/misogynistic person in the room, or he's at least in good company. See? Atmosphere.

I have always been annoyed by the presence of a bible in any hotel room I've stayed in, but they are a great source of rolling papers in a pinch.

I think this campaign can go in that same success category as "give up your seat for handicapped and pregnant people"

Oh man I did this all the time. My requirement for personal space was lost within about 8 weeks of living in NYC, especially being a big guy. I've literally put my hand on a guy's leg and tried to strike up a faux conversation in an effort to make him uncomfortable.

Well you have to consider the source material. In my case as a movie junky, it's usually 24Hz, which in theory goes into 120Hz 5 times. If a TV just repeats each frame 5 times and doesn't manipulate the image in any way, sure that could lead to reduced flicker and motion artifacts (see 3:2 pulldown). In practice, most…
