What is currently on your mind?

I know.. just as a guy I don't feel comfortable going to the HR route. Only thing that might push me over the edge and go to HR is if she physically attacked me or something.

Better you go before she feels rejected in some way and goes about you out of spite

Yeah.. I've worried about her going that route.

This job is just temporary anyways. Until I find another one. If I get any wind of her attempting any such thing I'm out of the door. Although this is also a reason I'm afraid to go to HR.. she might start making baseless accusations in retaliation.. and in this climate I fear that a woman's word is going to weigh more than a man's even if the man goes first.

Yes we live in dangerous times where an anxiousness to appease the self entitled has overcome rational thought.

Currently watching The Pacific on HBO Max.

Watched the film Harriet earlier.. wish they took that film a little more seriously like 12 Years A Slave. The latter film I think portraying the ugly/realistic life of slavery and racism very well.

Also in the need to shop for a new TV. Those new mini-LED tvs look interesting.. curious about trying OLED but I don't want to deal with screen burn in.. especially as someone who mostly uses a TV for video gaming (mini-map and general HUD things the most likely culprit for burn in..)

I’ve been thinking about a new TV but I really do not understand the various bells and whistles on them anymore.

I was the same way.. made the grave error of going cheap and buying an entry level LG Smart TV. Short story.. the TV is technically 4k, but in reality the picture isn't. Besides their OLED line, I'd stay clear of LG.

Learned my lesson and have become at least a little more customer savvy when it comes to my next TV purchase. I recommend this tech review site Reviews and Ratings - RTINGS.com. They get incredibly detailed about the television sets they review.

Thank you for the info. We are looking for one that larger than what we already have but want to makes a wise investment.

How large?

I believe the website I linked also have recommendations for the size of screen you'll want and how close you should be to the screen to receive the full benefit of the 4K picture. What I've learned is that one needs to sit far closer to the TV than I previously thought.

 

[timothyu]

Go samsung... and is not the distance no nearer than twice the screen size?

I believe he wants a 64” tv? Not sure of the exact measurements but it in that vicinity.

Yeah, thus far I'm eyeing Samsung.

Our main TV is 40”.

To my amazement.. I'm starting to see the Xbox Series S in stock. Hopefully a sign the PS5 and Xbox Series X is going to become more and more available soon.

A good winter weather day in the Seattle area is a blessing and annoying, because it brings everyone out of the woodwork.

 

[Paidiske]

What sort of temperature does a "good" winter day there see?

It'll be 31 Celsius here today (88 Fahrenheit).

I’m praying for a big melt tomorrow. Supposed to be pushing 60 degrees. We still are inundated with mounds of snow.

Not to worry. Apparently Americans are getting shorter on average as time goes by.
