MODERATORS
65” LG CX OLED. Absolutely gorgeous TV. Beats the theater honestly.
Infrared grill. Zero flare ups ever.
Pellet grill. Effortless smoked meat, etc.
Sony MDR-7506 headphones. Fairly flat and EQable +12dB without distortion. Built like a tank and parts are still accessible. Threw some lamp skin ear pads on and they’re heavenly.
Brother printer. Don’t ask, just buy it. Way better than the rest.
Rotary sprinkler heads. Windproof.
Klein precision driver and bit set. Lifetime warranty and it’s a great bit set. Super useful.
Sonos Arc+sub+surrounds. Expensive but fantastic system. That sub is something else.
AppleTV. Zero ads. Clean interface. Works extremely well.
Mason jars. If you know, you know.
Maybe I don’t know but I want to know. What are you using the mason jars for?
To hold all of the beans.
Correct.
I had a bother printer once for like 10 years... until my cat broke it. Now I have an Epson POS. I am definitely getting another brother asap.
Should I call your mom, or…?
I found my current Brother laser printer in a bin eight years ago. Still works great. I have to wonder who threw it out, and why...
I've switched from TV screens to an HD projector. I have a large white wall in my apartment and I swear it's gotta being putting up a 100"+ image. It's literally a cinema at home. It cost less than a TV screen around the same size, I bought one that has cheap and easy to replace bulbs, a good energy rating, good quality, and whenever I need to move, it fits into a box I can hold with one hand.
I can’t not have inky blacks anymore. Projection simply isn’t good enough despite the massive sizes possible. The only thing that would be better would be a micro LED TV, but those are still insanely overpriced.
Ah yeah, the blacks aren't super important to me. I do recognize that as a bit of a weak point, but I like the experience of watching on a projector for some reason. Feels more... cinematic?
It’s not really the black that does it, is that in combination with eye popping color. It makes the contrast so high it blows your mind. Cinema hasn’t felt the same since for me, sadly.
Infrared grill… TIL
