  • I’ll never buy another Samsung TV. I bought a top of the line LCD/LED TV in late 2020 and it had so many weird issues:

    It had frame rate issues with some streaming devices. It was widely reported as an issue in the Samsung forums, but it was never fixed.

    The interface wasn’t user friendly, taking many many more button presses to switch Inputs than any other TV I’ve had.

    The grid of LEDs that were supposed to turn on and off to help make dark spots darker ended up being distracting, you could clearly see when one or two of the LEDs turned on, causing an area to get highlighted by comparison.

    Nope, never again, I bought an nice LG OLED and it’s great, build quality, UI, responsiveness, picture quality.




  • We didn’t catch the fact that the rubble covered stove in the cafeteria early on works. So we never found a way to cook food, eventually we found another oven, but it was broken and we had no idea where to get the parts to repair it. We went back to the beginning to cook food, but the logistics of trying to haul things with our limited inventories back and forth to get food and also explore became unfun so we quit.






  • When a moral panic happens, a lot of things get blown out of proportion. A good example was the panic relating to D&D and satanism. There was a huge panic sometime in the 50s or 60s about the police dealing with young thugs with concealed switch blades, which could be hidden, and then deployed one handed so fast a cop couldn’t draw his weapon fast enough. So this panic got a lot of laws drawn up to ban any switch blade.

    Since then, the there are knives that skirt the law by not having a spring which force the blade open, instead a tension bar. There are still types are illegal to carry if a Cop would find out you have it, like “Out the front” switch knives.

    The stupid part is, there are plenty of “one hand deployable” knives on the market that are 100% legal. But the laws never get revisited. In my state it’s illegal to have a out the front switch blade, yet a bunch of high end OTF knives are for sale at a sporting store. They just post a sign that says “Know your local laws”, which some how makes it okay to sell.

    If anyone has more to add, or corrects, let me know.

    I think you’re right. Much of the text has that “word adjacent” you see a lot in AI images. Also, the picture appears to be very 80s in style, but that taco bell logo wasn’t used in the 80s. I’m pretty sure the logo and Honda were edited in.
