    What makes the frame work are a few things.
    1. It’s completely flat and the hardware is in a separate box.
    2. It’s a matte screen so it isn’t reflective.
    3. It’s designed to be low powered and not use a ton of electricity running all day.
    As you said. The frame isn’t the frame because of the frame, it’s everything else they did to engineer a tv to do what it does.

      Ideally, yes. But who will establish the line between consumption and overconsumption? It'll be an endless battle as to how much stuff is the "right" amount to have. Unfortunately it's up to consumers to determine their appropriate level of consumption bc, as long as people stand to make money off of something, most are not going to stop promoting it. It sucks.

    I think the beard is a great addition. The colour really ties into the rest of your hair, making it cohesive, and adding another hair zone makes the face a lot cozier. Well done getting a beard that's large enough for your mouth, a lot of people make the mistake of getting one that's too small and it just makes the whole thing look kinda crampt and odd. I'm a big believer in beards, they add comfort, they add luxury, they break up the space, they're just absolutely beautiful and timeless.

    I'm totally with you on rejecting the vulgar display of wealth of wine stations (and wine snobbery in general). As an Italian, I think it's pathetic that wine, and any knowledge of it, has become a status symbol. And that's especially the case here in north America, let's face it. In my grandparents days, even the poorest people drank wine, most of those who had a patch of land made their own, and no one felt the need to have expensive wine in their cupboard to show off their wealth and social status. It needs to stop.

    AFFILIATE LINKS: I appreciate that you haven’t morphed into the modern day QVC disguised as a ‘design channel’ like so many others-who btw think they’re being sneaky by affiliate linking EVERY LAST ITEM they mention. Tacky. You put passionate critique/suggestions above affiliate links. Refreshing. Everyone loves money, but there’s a classy/transparent way to do it and I believe you walk that line superbly. Ps… the beard stays!

    “Then we can’t be friends”. Love this episode. Because I’m older and live in a regular neighborhood, I can’t imagine people having or wanting to have that much wine. Or having food footstools. Or the bar carts in their house (we quit drinking when we children). Yes, I have my quirks like yard art, but it’s behind a fence. I think the media is responsible for most of those items. I remember certain items back over the years that were aimed at certain age groups. The expensive stereo systems that took up entire walls. I’m never impressed with what others have. I just don’t want my space to look like everyone else’s.

    Amazon is kind of the modern day Christmas catalogue. As soon as it came in you started looking through it to see a bunch of ridiculous things you didn't need but would help create the wish list so your parents could figure out your gifts. Then as you grew up it sent you down the rabbit hole of things like those lights so you could find something for the person that had you stumped. Now it's 24/7 and all year long which takes the fun out of it. I miss the catalogues.

I had forgotten that I had bought this cup, and I had the most bizarre, hilarious conversation with her until I figured out she was referring to the type of cup I had bought, not a hockey trophy. Our Uber driver was laughing and trying to hide it. Apparently, he knew what a Stanley Cup was.

Life got weirder, and so much easier!
