  • I too am in the market for a new tv. I’ve had my 60 inch plasma tv from Samsung for going on 12 years. I dropped a pretty penny on it from Best Buy at the time and haven’t had any problems with it at all for over a decade!

    Only in the last year or so I’ve started having issues with turning it on if it was just turned off. Like it’s plasma so I’ve always been super careful of burn in of images. So I press pause on whatever I’m watching on the Roku streamer connected by HDMI. Then I turn off the tv itself. If say I’m running to the bathroom, when I get back and attempt to turn on the tv it’ll make the red power light blink randomly several times over and over… but it won’t initiate the start up of the screen…

    I’ve tried lots of things… unplugged the tv and waited about 10-15 seconds and plugged it back in then pressed the power on the remote and it’ll usually come back on with the volume all the way back to “1” which stinks… but it still “works”…

    I’m willing to pay a good amount for a plasma adjacent/similar tv just because of the luck I’ve had with this current tv. It makes more sense to me to invest in a really great tv now, as opposed to replacing several less great tv’s when they inevitably break down…

    I’ve been looking around, and obviously they’ve stopped producing Plasma tvs now… so I’m still searching for a plasma like tv that I want…





  • The level of commitment is …is… idk… creepy? If Elvis were alive today, I’d encourage him to seek out a protection from stalking order maybe?

    What I’m wondering is… is that like a blow up doll of Elvis (filled with air) Or like a statue? Or is it made of cardboard? I can see they have a cardboard cutout in the corner… my guess from this pic is it’s got a different look, 3D?

    Maybe it’s a Elvis Museum? Mausoleum?


  • That is wild! I watched the videos in the linked article, and I’m shocked how easy it is to steal vehicles!

    I guess what I see in the movies/shows if hot wiring and the time that takes isn’t the norm nowadays.

    IMO I feel like the Shipping Ports need to step up their game as far as inspections and stop the cars BEFORE they’ve been shipped to other countries. I would hope that the car insurance companies would be willing to help the cost of this increased inspections, considering they have to pay the value of the stolen vehicles to the owners…









  • This whole thing screams too much work for me… I mean… wtf even is that a metal ladder to Fucking summit before you even make it to the toilet area?

    next is the drawbridge… crank that fucker down… then tiptoe across praying to the deity of poop that you don’t exceed the weight limits… then while you’re folded in half doing the do… you gotta wish upon a star no one will thunder down the stairs and knock you off the throne? Finish up with the minimal wiping area available to then jump across the wooden moat to start the expedition to the freaking hand-washing sink?

    No Fucking thank you very much!
