What is big changed over time. When I was in college I had a 28” CRT that was big for the time. But with higher pixel counts you can get a bigger screen without losing sharpness.

Ideally you replace a 28” CRT (576p) with about a 50” 1080p TV, which would then be replaced with a 100” 2160p TV.

Sure, his requirements aren’t realistic for his budget.

You can get a 77” for around 1k if you wait for a good deal.

OP stated he wanted a large TV though. I don’t think a 55” TV qualifies as large.

Or you could spend a bit more and get something decent, like an urban arrow. Especially if you’re getting one instead of a second car.

This is because bread that is not only "made with 100% whole wheat" (which just means it contains SOME 100%-whole-wheat flour!) but is made with ONLY whole wheat flour (plus any other whole grains) doesn't rise very well.

I don’t know anything about baking bread so I can’t tell you how they do it, but in my country (the Netherlands) whole grain bread has to be made from 100% whole grain flour by law. If you add any other kind of flour you cannot sell it as whole grain. There is plenty of delicious whole grain bread for sale both in supermarkets and bakeries.

What do you consider ‘good bread’? Don’t buy supermarket bread, go to a good bakery and get some nice, freshly baked whole-grain bread, that should be much more difficult to turn into sugar.

Or just put it in the fridge.

For me it was €79 (gotta love that VAT).

Still, considering the hours of entertainment I’ll get out of it, the price-per-hour feels reasonable to me compared to other forms of entertainment.

I bought it on PS5 and I’m having fun playing it. Sure, it doesn’t do anything new, the gameplay is very familiar and the enemy AI is dumb as rocks, but you get to play in the Star Wars universe, the locations look great and the story so far seems decent enough (although I’m not that far into the game yet).

Not every meal needs to be a 3 Michelin star gourmet affair, sometimes having a Big Mac with fries is perfectly fine.

The idea being you can just do a withdrawal through the teller

No bank in my country (the Netherlands) still offers this service. You can only get cash at an ATM, if you can find one.

Personally, I can’t remember the last time I handled physical money.

(A)gnosticism and (a)theism are orthogonal.

The former deals with whether or not it is possible to know for certain if god exists. The latter with if you think she does or doesn’t exist.

You can be an agnostic theist (you don’t think you can be sure god exists, but you think she does), a gnostic atheist, or any other combination.

 

I'm trying to subscribe to some of the communities linked here.

When I click on any of them, there is no working subscribe button. There is a 'subscribe' text, but it's not clickable. (see attached screenshot) The button does show up on local communities, but not on federated ones.
