i live in central texas, where there is 0 need for fireplace. Yet half the homes here have one and a tv mounted right above it.

center of screen and the tweeters on your l/r channel speakers should be at eye/ear hight, you can fudge a little on the center since perceptual effects will make it feel like it's coming out of the screen but an acoustically transparent projection screen would be ideal for a dedicated theater

we have a fireplace here in phoenix. they probably envisioned never having to buy central heat but a furnace is like $200 so you might as well do it, plus there's so many no burn days during the winter you could never use the fireplace now

Still better than android clock

"no burn days" means you cannot build a fire in a fire place, a pretty safe place for fire?

does this extend to gas ranges too, like shabbos but not quite?

they don't know all alien abduction experiences can be explained by people thinking saving private ryan was a documentary

Most people have crappy old inefficient fire places that put out a ton of smoke with tiny fires so yeah lots of areas have burn ban days for air quality

there's separate rules for burning trash, evaporating solvents, etc, where it's probably banned

haven't seen that one, but the owners surely deserved it for trying to mount a tv there.

lol indeed

and if you're an architect and design a fake fireplace into your plans, come up with some other ideas for a focal point you lazy gently caress.
