Ditto on used flatscreen (not-smart tv) from thrift shops; they’re light enough that you can take it with you when you move.

$500-$1000 is a good budget so you can buy new (non-smart tv) at the big box stores.

Yes, you should consider a good projector and a white bed sheet from the same thrift shop and iron it (I speak from experience). If the acoustics in your room is good then you may not need to spend a lot of money on speakers/headphones.

My friend couldn’t find black bed sheets so she bought the ugly stained ones and dyed them black and put them behind the curtains. We were able to do this setup in her backyard for the kids, too.

I also used a pre-primed canvas with my easel and worked just fine as soon as I got the angle right. Both came from JoAnn Fabric when they were closing the stores (maybe $35?). However, my Bose speakers and Sennheiser headphones were not cheap. Living in concrete and 2 different types of insulated walls are probably the reason why the acoustics suck.

That setup was so portable and worked really well that when my friend borrowed it she told me I wasn’t getting it back. You need to decide what you want to spend top dollar on: VR headset, projector, TV, etc. I’m actually curious how you end up with your entertainment setup. Good luck.

EDIT: I gave my old Harman Kardon speakers and subwoofer (from my old PC) to my friend and it still sounded good.

Perhaps it’s Luther, Line of Duty, Broadchurch, Endeavor, The Tunnel?

Or Midsummer Murder, Case Histories, Professor T?

It doesn’t sound like Death in Paradise, Brokenwood Mysteries, The Frankenstein Chronicles, Annika or The Fall.

BritBox has a list of tv series similar to Sherlock, Alienist, etc.

There’s Haden Clark but that’s gruesome. There’s a TV series about it on AppleTV and somewhere else I can’t remember but same title.

I’ll come back if I think of anything else. Good luck!

In the more than 300-year history of the Brazilian city of Curitiba, no city councillor had ever been removed from office until 2022, when a promising young Black local politician was forced out.

Renato Freitas had been accused of “breaching parliamentary decorum” by leading an anti-racism protest that ended inside a Catholic church – ironically named Church of the Black Men and built by enslaved people in the 18th century.

The expulsion was eventually overturned by the supreme court, but it was far from the last case brought against the 41-year-old Freitas, a rising star in the leftist Workers’ party of president Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva.

He [Freitas] got his ass beat and was left naked in a police station yet he is the one accused of “breaching decorum”.
His accusers need to come over to my family’s house on Superbowl Sunday so we can teach them what breach of decorum really means.

Ugh. I’ve been using Ente photos since I de-googled and gave myself until the end of summer to decide if I want to upgrade my subscription. All week I’ve been trying to figure out if how to migrate to Ente auth. Grrrr!

Thanks, OP!

TBH, I haven’t really searched for any info regarding IP address.
I just assumed that everyone here on Lemmy lives behind layers of adblockers and has their VPN Kill Switch toggled ON.

Yes, exactly! This is just what they hoard on iOS devices:

The court expressed concerns over rising “menace of dog bites leading to rabies” and gave an eight-week deadline to officials to finish the task.

Delhi’s stray dog population is estimated at one million, with suburban Noida, Ghaziabad, and Gurugram also seeing a rise, municipal sources say.

Whew. For a moment there I thought they were being sent to the zoo in Denmark. 😰

Cat videos! Have you seen the upvotes on those vids?!? Amazing (and easy)!

Maybe the United States involvement in regime change in Latin America is what you had in mind?

Or perhaps you’d like to peruse through old CIA files.

…results that are complicated and intricate leaving users bewildered.

Perplexity is certainly an interesting choice for a company name. Coincidence perhaps?

I mean no disrespect and have read the propaganda article. The Atlantic is an American publication based in Washington, DC.

The Word of the Day is: Scapegoat

YOUR body, YOUR choice!

If you think that you’ll regret it later on, you can always make a deposit to a sperm bank. These days, I highly doubt it’s covered by insurance. Also, you need to do some research (and a lot of phone calls/emails); some places are so damn strict that you need an appointment just to get info.

A friend did that before, he has no regrets. Good luck, young lemming!

EDIT: Just wanted to let you know that I’m a hypocrite. If you were my son, I’d talk you out of it.

Don’t forget to buy a bag of frozen peas!

LOL. Yes, suable is a word.

Yes.

“We’re not at all surprised the UK government is deploying this tactic now when the world is paying attention to the horrors unfolding, they’d rather silence the discussion than confront their own complicity,” the moderators of r/IsraelCrimnes told me. “By labeling brutally documented atrocities as ‘mature content’ and gate‑keeping access, they reveal themselves as hypocrites: preaching democracy and human rights abroad while trampling them at home.”

It gets better /s:

Reddit explained that it will verify users’ age by partnering with Persona, an identity verification company that raised $200 million in April in a series D round led by Peter Thiel’s Founders Fund. Persona asks users to upload a selfie or photo ID in order to verify their age. Reddit says it does not have access to these images, and that Persona does not retain those photos for more than seven days.

Take a deep breath…

EDIT added /s for sarcasm

Brave for iOS has the Copy Clean Link option. There’s GNAT Cleaner from the App Store but I’ve never used it.

I tried adding screenshots but I haven’t been able to upload photos in almost a week.
