I went from a 50” to a 65” to a 77”, I live in an apartment, maybe 3.5m viewing distance. You go from “damn that’s big” to “I wish I could afford something bigger” in about 2 days.

Fortunately prices keep coming down so if you upgrade every 5-10 years or so you can usually afford the next step up. I currently have what was LG’s top of the line OLED last year (77” G3) and it was about €3k5.

What is big changed over time. When I was in college I had a 28” CRT that was big for the time. But with higher pixel counts you can get a bigger screen without losing sharpness.

Ideally you replace a 28” CRT (576p) with about a 50” 1080p TV, which would then be replaced with a 100” 2160p TV.

Sure, his requirements aren’t realistic for his budget.

You can get a 77” for around 1k if you wait for a good deal.

OP stated he wanted a large TV though. I don’t think a 55” TV qualifies as large.

This is because bread that is not only "made with 100% whole wheat" (which just means it contains SOME 100%-whole-wheat flour!) but is made with ONLY whole wheat flour (plus any other whole grains) doesn't rise very well.

I don’t know anything about baking bread so I can’t tell you how they do it, but in my country (the Netherlands) whole grain bread has to be made from 100% whole grain flour by law. If you add any other kind of flour you cannot sell it as whole grain. There is plenty of delicious whole grain bread for sale both in supermarkets and bakeries.

What do you consider ‘good bread’? Don’t buy supermarket bread, go to a good bakery and get some nice, freshly baked whole-grain bread, that should be much more difficult to turn into sugar.

Or just put it in the fridge.

For me it was €79 (gotta love that VAT).

Still, considering the hours of entertainment I’ll get out of it, the price-per-hour feels reasonable to me compared to other forms of entertainment.

I bought it on PS5 and I’m having fun playing it. Sure, it doesn’t do anything new, the gameplay is very familiar and the enemy AI is dumb as rocks, but you get to play in the Star Wars universe, the locations look great and the story so far seems decent enough (although I’m not that far into the game yet).

Not every meal needs to be a 3 Michelin star gourmet affair, sometimes having a Big Mac with fries is perfectly fine.

And the dead. Remember when he buried his ex wife at his golf club so it would qualify as a cemetery and get tax exempt status.

It’s like a game now. Can you finish the entire pouch before the straw disintegrates? Stay tuned to find out.

Oh I agree they should. Physical game sales are a PITA.

I bet that hardly anyone buys the add on drive and they use that as a reason to completely drop physical media support in the PS6.

Plenty of good people wear a suit and tie. Plenty of bad people wear something else.

It’s a result of the “first past the post” voting system used in the US. It naturally leads to a two party system.

You are confusing how you wish the world worked for how the world actually works.
