Slim Mount for the frame TV issue
“Frequently returned item”…worth a shot I guess. Order em and when the tv shows up, see if it works. For what it’s worth, I’d rather do that than go all-anchors. Don’t trust that, but also have young kids that find new failure modes to expose all the time.

Slim Mount for the frame TV issue
It’ll come with a paper template so you can absolutely be sure. But yeah these things are full of compromises, and I was ready to nuke Samsung when one of ours had to be sent in for service at only 6 months old…getting the bitch in/out of those metal u-brackets is scary when you can’t really reach back there. Provided no miracles you’ve got 3 choices: ass ton of good toggles, take wall apart to run a 2x4 behind the paneling, or cut a strip of 3/4” plywood to run on top of the paneling and just live with it being a little proud. Upside to taking the wall apart is it’ll make it much easier to run that wire behind there to the breakout box so you can hide it.

Slim Mount for the frame TV issue
We’ve got a couple of Frames, and yeah those two-piece mounts are way different…but a huge part of why you pay a premium for them. They’re also nerve wracking trying to snap the tv into/out of. So there are absolutely no studs that’d cross behind any of the holes in either mount? I assume your stud finder works on wood paneling and you double checked by measuring 16” centers starting from that outlet box down there (whichever side the stud is on). What’s behind that paneling…anything? Pop the cover off that outlet to see if you can verify how thick it is and what, if anything, is behind it. As you noted, the tv itself isn’t that heavy since all the guts are in the OneConnect breakout box. If that paneling is actually mounted to studs securely, I’d like to think a gang of good toggles would work…but obviously having at least one mount hit a stud would be peace of mind The best anchors I’ve seen are WingIts, though they require using a special 3/4” bit to put the hole (don’t use a spade bit on that nice wood). Otherwise, per usual, best reply is the first: get serious by running a 2x4 horizontally and call it a day.

2024 Big 12 Baseball Thread
Pokes won in dramatic fashion…walkoff grand slam B10. I’d written them off when we were down 3 in B8. My fault, this team can be so hot/cold but Holliday seems to love trying to time a hot streak heading into the post season…sometimes with disastrous results. WTF happened to TCU? And WVU just keeps going. And fuck OU.

Don’t forget the blue blood modifier and the insufferable fan bonus. I was at OSU, back when that meant something and tickets were hard to come by. Walked into the old GIA as a clueless freshman in 98, left with my ears ringing and a holy shit face. Damn I miss the old GIA. So I have a bit of schadenfreude to see Kentucky sweat a bit (sorry Underdog)- College basketball coaching carousel: 2025 edition

I was a USAF brat who’d moved from Turkey for Jr/Sr year, thus an outsider the two years I spent at Burkburnett HS with kids who’d all known each other since diapers…so maybe my HS experience was different than most of y’all. Regardless, anyone I met who legit spends more than a minute talking about high school is a fuckin dullard who peaked at 17 and likely the type to chuckle at this shit. High School was a means to have choices when it came to college, little else.- Elon Musk: Nazi traitor piece of shit [Confirmed]

Was awesome for a freshman, returning from injury, to hit the go ahead 3-run shot over the batters eye…his first collegiate HR is to take the lead in game 3 of Bedlam in front of a home crowd.- 2024 Solar Eclipse - never too early to get ready
I told my oldest this morning to, regardless of the clouds, close your eyes for a few to just listen/feel the change. There will be a million wonderful pics and videos to look at later, but it’s that feeling of the moment that’ll be your fondest memory.- 2024 Solar Eclipse - never too early to get ready
Not surprised. Feels like a ton of rain is on the long term forecast all the time, but like Aggy chasing hardware, the dream fades as the date approaches. So naturally the long term forecast has been right all along for a once in a lifetime event.- Elon Musk: Nazi traitor piece of shit [Confirmed]

Really grateful the key parts here were underlined- This story, about this Alabama pastor...
Wonder if that’s a cross around his neck…I bet it is. This shit infuriates me to no end. A large swath of people need an Other to project their fears, uncertainties and dread onto while a certain group of politicians are all in on leveraging that to stay in power, partnering with certain news agencies eager to harness it for viewership. Now a family is broken, a church lost their leader and a community is refusing to examine itself over an individual’s own private affairs that had zero impact on their lives. This country was founded on the human right of self expression and equality, yet the people who espouse to love it the most are often those actively participating in suppressing it for zero gain. Fuck them.- The GQP: Trumpist Death Cult
