Thanks, man. i discovered a few spices I can smell. Better than zero. Hope!

If Medium Tex were around here, I’d point him to this excellent piece on Nick Offerman.

Before we bought this place, I told (Megan Mullally) I wanted to build her a craftsman lodge and said, “I’ll split firewood and bring home fresh game.” She said, “No thanks, buddy.”

I just ordered an 85" TCL from Best Buy during this recent sale. Looks like I picked up one of the last ones in my area before they sold out.

What size TV are you guys rocking at home? Was it a good purchase?

55” Sony purchased July 29, 2008. Has been flawless so far.

43”. Wife said anything bigger would ruin the look of the room, and I tend to agree.

17 Years!!!! My kind of electronics item! I expect them to go forever and always disappointed when they do not.

A few years ago a friend gave me a 55" that was around 15 years old. Good enough for me since about the only time it is on is when I'm exercising in the room.

Otherwise, my main TV is a 32" which is an arm's length away as I sit here typing this.

The Euro is coming to Bulgaria.
I wonder how Vil feels about it.

You can't really tell the scale from the picture, but this is a hilariously big TV.

(I guess the Mac Mini and game consoles are okay scale comparisons for those of you who have them.)

Unless your light switch is a meter square, that is a very large TV.

85"!

It was so big that I couldn't even fit it in my car.. I had to get the store to deliver it to the house.

Why not just get a projector then?

That actually might be my next foray... There is a big empty wall in our bedroom upstairs that might make for a good projector space.

Congrats on bitcoin, Smithers.
You can afford some big screens.

It's been a year or so of great returns for sure.

My Bitcoin position is much more conservative than it was, but it's still very significant. It's now in a proper variable portfolio consisting of:

33% Bitcoin
33% MicroStrategy stock
33% Cash

Rebalance regularly to harvest gains and take advantage of dips. With the cash component this risk profile is much more tolerable.
