Thanks again for the advice, everyone who responded, got the new tv delivered finally, mounted, and spent 2 afternoons hooking everything up.

How it started:



How it's going:



LG C3 85 inch, taking up pretty much zero space instead of reducing the room size by a meter due to the old TV's cabinet. Built in PVR means that we can chuck our old massive unit and instead we just have a hard drive mounted in the small cab under the tv. DVD is in there too, fed by HDMI cables via the wall, and computer is hooked up for gaming.

Excellent tv so far, frankly better picture quality than any I've seen and I'm noticing details that weren't even clear in theatres.

Also definitely bright enough ever for a well lit room. Even just the 4k demo video from YouTube we looked at just after mounting just popped out of the screen.



Stuff not recorded in digital or stuff that's low res and not a divisor of 2160 looks blurry as expected, but all in all I can't complain.




10/10, would definitely recommend.

Apropos of nothing, any medical goons know anything about eyesight and possible diabetic retinopathy?

I'm only 39, but is it time to go back to Shopko Optical and possibly talk with the doc about bifocals / transition lenses?

Before someone comes in to snark at me and say "dur hur don't ask for medical advice on a dead gay forum," I have appointments scheduled at the diabetes clinic, the nephrology clinic and with my cardiologist. Just wondering what to expect moving forward.

Not an optometrist, but have you been seeing additional floaters or splotchy vision? I think that's the early symptoms of diabetic retinopathy. Since it sounds like you're controlling your sugar well, I'd kinda be surprised if it was more than that.

Could also just be you're in for bifocals... My wife wears them and she got them in her late 30s.

Late to this, and missed to earlier, but diabetic retinopathy has some pretty clear signs on otoscopic exam, so when they look in your eyes they will have a good idea whats going on. Also, even though it's on the younger side, you could be losing your ability to accommodate your pupils (i.e. need reading glasses) which is a totally natural process. Your chronic illnesses may also be contributing to the early onset.

Short of unripe or bad avocados its pretty hard to gently caress up. Unless you get some white mom adding asparagus and poo poo.

It's amazing what they can do with computers these days.

A local grocery store (Tony’s) has pretty good guac and salsa that they make in store. Honestly, I like it so much I usually don’t bother making my own fresh stuff because it’s easier and fairly cheap.

I get people who don’t like guac because the texture isn’t for everyone, but I love it. Has to be fresh though. 1-2 day old guac is no bueno.

I like these little avocado cups I get from Sam's Club. Each cup is half an avocado. Tastes fine with a dash of lime and salt. Just smear that on some toasted bread and it's yummers. I'll buy real avocados when I make actual guac tho.

I'll admit to being weirdly picky about things but I've always given food I dislike multiple shots.

My sister-in-law hated me for years because her, my now-wife and I all went to a Mexican place fairly early on in the relationship, and SIL would not stop pestering me to try the guac. Like not even asking or suggesting, just full on telling me to. Politely declining I think four or five times in a row did not work. By that point I'd tried guacamole and avocado a bunch of times in my life and just didn't care for it, so I reached into the bowl with my finger and took a swipe. I recognize it was childish but I'd absolutely had it by then. We both came away with bad first impressions of each other and didn't talk much for a few years. Which was awkward because wife and I got serious pretty quickly.

I've tricked myself into scallops and bacon a bunch of times because, hey, it's got bacon on it so it must be good, right? Nope. Can't stand them. Onions are impossible to avoid so I've had them plenty of times, raw and cooked, and can say I dislike them in any variety. Carrots literally make me gag but I can tolerate them in tiny amounts and I'll even put a little bit in soups or salads I make just for variety.
