It’s your last line. We have to find a way to take the world back from billionaires, by force if necessary. It’s unreal that a small handful of assholes have the power over the billions of us that they do.

I love my 6.5, but I still really want a 30/06

Bingo. Same goes for pretty much any show from the 90s and beyond that didn’t get an HD remaster. It’s the same quality with older shows on any legit streaming service.

Anyone can setup a honeypot with the right knowledge and resources. The kicker is to go about it in such a way to attract users and not tip anyone off of ill intent.

Well that’s just plain silly

We must beware of the dangers of dihydrogen monoxide

Honestly I think it’s more of just becoming responsible as you age and your body’s requirements get more specific. When I was young, I could eat anything and anything. Now, dairy is fully off the table, breads and carbs in general need to be of a minimum quality, and volume of consumption absolutely cannot be what it used to be. I think the key of it is to just be cognizant of what works and what doesn’t, and have the self control to direct yourself to the right choices (especially when options are limited). It certainly comes with experience that aging provides. I’m sure there are some people that are so well tapped into their bodies that it’s automatic like muscle memory, but for the rest of us it’s definitely learned and steered.

What hardware are you running your truenas setup on? I have an old computer that I’ve had freenas on that finally died.

It definitely happens, though rarely for a living room or family room. Usually smaller ones are in kitchens, bathrooms, garages, kids rooms, offices, etc.

Mounting to the stud is not what you want to do. What you want to do is straddle studs with 3/4" ply for blocking, which is what you mount to.

If the builder had the wherewithal to provide blocking, which I’ll agree is mandatory for anything bigger than 55" (and a 2x8 or 2x10 spanned between the stud bays is a bit better, it provides more meat for the lags to sink into and most jobsites will have some in a scrap pile). But for 55" and smaller, 5/16" x 2" lags into the 2x4 studs is plenty sufficient. Ply works if you want to use toggle bolts, but you have to notch it into the stud for the drywall to sit flat.

I used to work in the AV field, and there are methods that ensure the TV ends up the wall exactly where you want it. Hitting the studs with lags is huge, but also predrilling those holes, and laying out your measurements ahead of time make it as clean and precise as possible. Fishing the data wires up and down a stud bay is actually really easy (assuming you’re not fighting insulation or a fire block), I can see power going squirrelly if the plug down low isn’t a straight shot up the wall and the installer isn’t privy to electrical work.

PSA: don’t run power extension cords inside a wall cavity! It’s a code violation and those cheesy 16awg extension cords from Home Depot will heat up in the wall because they don’t dissipate heat properly in confined spaces.

Bingo. Toxic masculinity in the trades is thinking you know everything and acting like it. And it makes working with those people, especially foremen like that, terrible. No one knows everything, and the best tradesmen I’ve ever met are the ones that know they don’t and will never know everything, but they try to learn something new every day.

I have an electrical business, and hired a buddy that was a union operator for years to help out. I learn something new from that dude every day just from his years of adjacent experience, it’s pretty rad.

Not the person you’re responding to, but an electrician as well. The difference between someone who just showed up to get it running and get paid versus the ones who take time to sinch as close to perfect as possible are night and day. A good installation would have the basics like clean pipe runs, level cans and boxes, minimal mistakes (extended conduits, plugged holes in boxes where someone mismeasured, no missing parts, etc). The perfection guys go beyond by having everything laser level with themselves (pipes, boxes, etc), thoughtful layout to make working on it easier, forethought with layout as far as system expansion and futures, sometimes even sizing pipes and boxes a little bigger to accommodate future additions, and often just the little simple details like aligning screw heads where you can tell that the original installer really took their time and had passion for doing things right. Especially compared to installs where it’s a pain to try and do anything and you’re basically putting lipstick on a pig, it’s always a wonderful treat to work on something where someone really gave a shit.

And this right here is one of the fundamental injustices of the American legal system. It’s completely fucked that some conglomerate can basically railroad an individual into poverty from a bullshit lawsuit and that private individuals without deep pockets essentially have zero recourse in the legal arena.

You can install LTSC that’ll extend to 2032 iirc

You are officially at war, beans are your friend

Hmm…
