  • The rise in political violence is caused by the right. If democrats really cared they would’ve stopped this before it got to this point. Too many of them didn’t want to lose their positions of power and let the GOP get away with whatever they want to not lose power.

    This is a public servant position, if you want security don’t run for office. They work for us, not the other way around.

    Most people will recommend avoiding any “smart” features on the TVs sets and say buy a monitor cause they have no smart features. Rightfully so, TVs can be privacy nightmares potentially.

    That said I have recommendations for both:

    Midrange TV pick: LG 48B5 - $529 at Best Buy

    Fancy smaller Monitor Asus ROG Swift 32 OLED Monitor

    Premium TV LG C5 (Available in 42, 48, 55, 65, 77, and 83 inch)

    Ultra Premium LG G5 (Available in 55, 65, 77, and 83 inch)

    Budget TV TCL QM7K

    Budget Monitor Samsung G5 series

    Pound for pound dollar for dollar LG makes the best OLEDs and overall TVs. Sony is good but not worth the premium anymore.




  • Doom Eternal after completing the game and all the DLC. They put you through HELL (literally) and these levels are a BITCH at the end and the sigh of relief to see this arc of the story finally come to a close is so satisfying.

    Doom 2016 was an overall better game from an atmospheric perspective, and it had better direction overall, but Eternal was just fun and hard. If you can bare it on at least ultra-violence the sense of completion at the end of it all is quite gratifying.



  • If you’re techy at all, get an iFixit toolkit for small or proprietary screw heads. What a lifesaver that’s been; even for things like hex heads in furniture.

    Always have a stocked liquor cabinet. Doesn’t matter if you drink or not - if you wanna be an accommodating host, make sure you at least have something to offer. You’ll feel like a bad host if you don’t at least offer.

    I use my Neat steamer at least once a season for deep cleaning all over the house.

    Air filters are great and seriously help keep the air clean and less stale, especially if you have pets. Most guests have no idea I have a cat until I show her off.

    A good cooler is always useful. You don’t need to splurge for a yeti, but from having people in the yard, to keeping canned drinks cold for a party, a good cooler that can hold ice and drinks is invaluable for an event you’re hosting.

    This is why I moved to iPhone a few years ago. Every premium android was a legit knockoff of iPhone in every single way, down to the lack of a headphone jack and SD card slot. Why continue chasing these phones that aren’t even as good as the real thing?

    Android USED TO be better than iPhone, but Google is just gung-ho on enshitification. Apple, for the walled garden that it is, at least works well with its eco system. Android is so fragmented and complicated that it’s collapsing under its own weight.
