Help me decide: TCL 55QM6K vs Hisense 55U6SF Pro?

TV will be my daily driver in my living room. Primarily for watching live sports in the daytime and late-night Netflix binges. I have windows, but they also have shades I can pull down if needed.

I'm really just seeking the absolute best hardware value pick between the two, as they are both the exact same price right now ($550).

I'm kind of leaning toward the Pro as it specs out better, I think? But I am also a TV noob, so help would be appreciated.

Need genuine advice as a car noob. Is this rust a serious problem?

2011 Camry with 234k miles on it. I am trying to figure out if I should invest in a $2500 repair on the vehicle or not due to how it looks under the hood. It also has some small specs of rust on the hood too. Again I am a total noob and just want genuine advice if this rust is a serious issue and if I should just buy a new car. Ideally Id like to drive this thing into the ground but I am concerned about the cars lifespan regarding the rust.

Appreciate the guidance yall.

Am I getting scammed by the dealership here?

Preface by saying I am a complete car noob. 2011 Toyota camry (unsure on engine) with 235k miles on it. They are saying I need all this work done. Really unsure.

Fair price on install?

Just want to make sure I'm not being fleeced. I was quoted $1100 for Sony 4000 Wireless CarPlay + backup camera, installation parts and labor on my 2011 Camry.

Fair or should I keep shopping around?

Is Bridgeport safe, specifically west of S Halsted Street?

I am specifically referring to the area where S Aberdeen Street and W 32nd Street connect. I was looking at an apartment there to rent but a little nervous about safety and gang activity - if there is any in the area? It is near Wilson Community Center Park and Cowabunga! Pizza Pies.

Worried because I will be frequently walking 10 minutes to get to either the #62, 31, or 35 bus stops.

Bought a brand new 1/BR in Chicago and seeking advice on best AC unit to buy?

Pics of the place are provided. 3rd floor. The previous owner had their unit placed in the window closest to the fridge/kitchen. I'm unsure if I should put it there as well or the bedroom seeing as I imagine you want to be coldest when you sleep?

Also unsure of the sort of unit I should get and type? I will be in Chicago for 5 years and ideally seeking something that can last all 5 years and also be taken out and moved if I decide to change apartments after my lease is up. Any suggestions? I'm really new to the window AC stuff so any insight on options would be helpful especially regarding the model I should get? Price isn't an issue but I'd like to keep it under $800

Is anyone able to identify thus AC Unit?

Very odd ask but was wondering if anyone by chance might be able to recognize this unit?

Future grad planning to work at a VA as a Psychologist. My strategy: enroll in IDR, make minimum payments (~$600-900/mo on a ~$100k salary), let those count toward PSLF's 120 payments, then get reimbursed annually through EDRP for whatever I paid. Effectively $0 out of pocket for 5 years worth of minimum payments while the PSLF clock runs.

After EDRP's 5-year window ends, I'd pay IDR minimums out of pocket for the remaining 4 years, then get the rest forgiven under PSLF (I already have about a years worth of PSLF payments from before grad school when I worked for a non-profit as well).

Am I understanding this right, any major holes in this plan? Anyone here actually done this combo? Would love to hear how it played out.

NOTE: For those wondering why I don't just take advantage of 200k from EDRP, my loans are pretty substantial... like somewhere between 400-430k so I'd still owe roughly 200k after EDRP ends. Yes I know that was a bad idea but it's in the past, I'm talking moving forward.

Do not know if you guys are aware or not but pretty relevant to anyone committing to schools right now.

They recently clarified that GradPlus loans do in fact count toward the aggregate lifetime limit which will dramatically influence your borrowing capacity.

So any programs selling being 'grandfathered' in and are longer than 3 years... there may be a gap in funds year 4 and onward if you reach your borrowing limit by year 3.
