  • You might not want whatever answer you get.

    At that price point and size you are getting a junk TV. Probably of the “buy again in 2 to 4 years” kind of variety. You’re going to have to pick price, size, or quality, and I hope you’re aware you’ve kinda eliminated quality from the start. If you already know that, kick butt go do your thing. If you’re trying to get a good TV at 70 inches for less than $1000, you’re on a fools errand.

    Be advised, for anything that requires preference or tuning “buy once cry once” is totally fallacious. The most expensive anything is not guaranteed to be the thing that suits you best. Still don’t need a slur, but you don’t walk into a clothing store and just buy the most expensive things. You have to put in some time and develop some preference before it makes sense to spend hard.

    Now if you’re just buying an angle grinder, sure, whatever buy the pricey one: it is probably made better.





  • The pro tip that we had to give out in college for the newcomers to the ballroom team every semester to mitigate body odor (edit: done in exactly this order):

    1. Shower with soap.
    2. Apply deodorant with antiperspirant.
    3. Put on clean clothes.

    You would be surprised how many people in college don’t understand the nuances of these points. Or other basically accepted hygiene practices of the area. For example, cologne or perfume is not “deodorant”. Also, most things are not clean after you wear them (esp if you sweat), and dont become clean again until they are laundered. You may also notice we had to specify “with soap” for a shower.

    The bit about antiperspirant is not strictly necessary, but nobody wants to put their hand near or accidentally in a sweaty pit.
