Thanks for the tip, much appreciated.

I have a Chromecast connected, but to be completely honest, it was actually a great excuse for dad to upgrade the tv...
Brutal honesty, gotta love it. You have our blessings on the new tv. Go off man.

You're better off. It can be annoying to switch to another device just cause your tv is an old fart.

So it is... So it is...
Though "old fart" might be a bit exaggerated, it's a 55" Samsung Curved UltraHD Led TV from 2015.

It just doesn't get the proper support anymore. Like apps not working, or not available at all.

Now i think of it; you're right, it IS an old fart...

Doesn't really matter if you stream everything. You don't need to "switch" anything.

Sounds like you have a real healthy relationship with your kids.

"Men's Corner" LMAO. Yeah but I bet it was sacrifices you made for the betterment of your children so kudos. They'll go off to college one day and then that corner can become maybe two corners?

Yeah, do everything for them.
Average houses are not that big here in Holland. (I saw some garages in a thread that must be bigger then my house is, haha)
But i'm very happy with what i have.

About college, well... Holland is not that big, so many studies can be done relatively close to where we live. But that's okay, love to have my kids around!

I bought my wife a set of New West KnifeWorks knives since she's a heavy-hitting cook in the kitchen.

My GOD, are they expensive- but according to her, terribly, terribly worth it.

Car parts are cheaper.

1. It's clear you love your wife a lot cuz yeah, those knives are bloody expensive lol.

2. She looks like a very lovely woman and one can only hope they age as gracefully but knowing how efficient those knives are and taking into consideration her immediate pose, I would like to volunteer myself to be added to your will. In the event of your untimely filet.
Just throwing it out there in case there's no children / or there are children and the little shit(s) don't deserve it?

Yeah chefs or really good cooks that know their hardware aren't fond of ceramic knives. That's for lazy peons like me that can only semi cook.

However, I do have a set of Japanese knives that his wife would appreciate. A set I'm ashamed to admit I never use cuz lazy and ceramic are basically my mini ninja swords in the kitchen.
