  1. Screen size and seating distance from the screen? Are you going to game on it?
    Blacklab and I both have Sony VPL-HW??ES models and love them. Mine is pre 4K and I think his is too.
    Processing speed is important if you want to game on it.

    Are you in a major city? HT installers are fading away due to 85" TVs with no light controlled room needed



    Found some one local selling a low time VPL-HW30ES for a grand. He’s pretty firm on the price. Good deal?
  2. Our new house has a small room upstairs that was built into the attic. It runs warm even though it has two AC ducts feeding into it. Likely not enough insulation and/or inadequate ducting. That said, I’d like to put a stand-alone room cooler up there to fire up as needed. But there’s no windows so as far as I can tell I can’t use something like this because they require a window duct. Any other suggestions? It’s about 300 sq ft.

  3. What's far more offensive to me than the politics shit is the ham-fisted shoehorning of movie and music promotion into ESPN's broadcasting. 
    "LeBron looking like Captain America out there in the fourth quarter...speaking of which, don't forget that Captain America is in theaters Friday May 12...."
    I don't give a fuck. 


    Disney bought ABC in 1996. The last year ESPN was truly watchable.
  4. Someone above mentioned Lost... to me the last couple seasons and especially this abortion of a finale remind me of TWD. That show’s creator left after season 1 and it was painfully obvious. But AMC had a money maker so the show went on. I gave up several seasons ago on that one.
    This one I was committed to because I binged seasons 1-6 a couple years ago and was committed.
    I’d say this is apropos but I keep finagling HBO for free for some reason.

    DFW. Thanks for the links.
  6. My first intro to the band was in high school (late 80s). Long story but generally speaking most music prior to 1982 was really foreign to me at the time. A friend introduced me to the Led Zep box set and the rest was history.

  7. In my experience OEM tires generally suck as they are usually whatever the manufacturer can bulk buy at a discount. That said, I try to replace my tires in sets from the major manufacturers based on the best deal I can find. Goodyear, Continental, Pirelli, Michelin. Second tier but worth a look is Hankook, Firestone, Toyo, Kumho, Cooper. What I've found is the money spent usually trickles down to one or two guys anyways. Oh, and use Discount Tire. They'll price match anything.
