For audio, take to a local thrift store or Facebook marketplace or whatever platform is the most used locally and mix and match your own receiver + speaker set. A decent receiver can be found around €50, speakers can be even cheaper. Most modern speakers of some size are decent enough, bought some second hand Jamo tower speakers for 50 for the set(2) as well. Smaller bookcase speakers with minimum 4 inch (if you don’t go for a seperate subwoofer) speakers can be found for €20. You need some oomph in the lower end to get some extra cinema points. Stereo sets are fine, 5.1 is fun but I’d rather have amazing stereo then ok 5.1 , you know?
For beamers, I’d look for a secondhand beamer that was used in business setting.
A clean white wall is cheap en convenient beaming surface, but a good screen will help increase brightness which can often be the most tricky part about beaming at home. But harder to do secondhand.
Sidenote, I almost never save the boxes of stuff I buy, but the tv box gets special treatment in the attic, because in the box it’s very transportable, but without it, I agree, it’s a big hassle.
GL!

When I was young (also stupid) we were on holiday at Punta Verudela, Pula, (44.8348180, 13.8373873) and one day, that island in the distance (44.8312627, 13.8398307) looked too cool to not swim too it, and me, my dad and my brother decided to try and make it there. It looked pretty close, but I never swam so long in my life. Because we took our sweet time and had a pretty chill tempo, after about an hour, we made it! on our side it was all sheer and sharp cliffs though, so although the island was still cool and enticing, we had no idea if it was even possible to get up there somewhere, or how long it would take to swim around. Playing it safe, we swam back in about the same tempo and took another hour of relaxed swimming. Probably helped that the Mediterranean sea isn’t as tidally active. Checking it now, the swimming distance seems around 440m (we approximated 1Km back then :) ) I wasn’t scared at any point and just having fun, but thinking back now, so many things could have gone wrong. I think I would be a lot more afraid to try that again now, without knowing what I’m getting myself into.

- Comment on Google will reduce Pixel 6A battery capacity due to overheating issues 2 months ago:
When the fuck will it end? This is getting stupid. I was using my 4a as an MP3 player after i upgraded to the 6a, but it closes the player withing 10 minutes EVERY TIME now, because that battery update basically chopped of 7 of the 8 limbs that thing had. I guess that’s e-waste now. Oh wait, i can switch over to my main device, that will for sure work as an MP3 player, because i payed 400 euro bucks for it.
#NOPE.
I guess being an MP3 player is only accessible for 25 euro devices that are not connected to the google borg collective. Stop fucking killing my phones you dickweeds, what the actual fuck.

Last year I learn about gas-fridges, now you’re telling me there are gas-dryers… so cool. on-topic: I normally don’t HAVE to wash while I cook, so if it’s all secure and it’s a stable washer I could see that working too.

- Comment on My mom tells me I should cut dad off for cheating on her, am I a bad person for not wanting to do so? 2 months ago:
My dad tried this same trick and wanted to influence my relationship with my mom (who had an affair). I told him I understand his feelings but that he could never talk that way to me again or I would cut him out of my life immediately. This is my mom you’re talking about.
I can’t have other folks then myself decide who I interact with. It’s not like I’m taking sides or feel great about her actions, but I wasn’t gonna stop seeing her because it hurts someone else.
I never was that direct with my parents before, but it felt like if that line would be crossed it would all come crumbling down.

In dutch they say: “Hunger makes raw beans taste sweet” when packing up after windsurfing, they would advise against taking your trapeze off (a huge belly belt that can connect you to the sail, handsfree!) before you had access too food, because more often then not, it would unleash the hunger beast within. It was fun to have that power over your own hunger! GIMME THOSE SWEET BEANS!

Baldness is something males experience so much more then females that it’s considered sexist to point it out to a male. But having hair seems to be a lot more universal. Would categorize that more under human affirming care 🤣
