JT!

If they had 100 kids and they brought 99 of them and they were all boys what would be the chances the unseen one is a boy? I'd say 50/50. I don't get how the answer isn't 50/50.

I feel the same way, I'm 30 now and have like 9 years retail experience and nothing else.

What ever happened to that one guy on here who made webuyanybike.com or something like that, then next thing you know someone posted pictures of him popping $200 champagne on a balcony.

Stranger Things is pretty damn good.

Then you're not dieting right.

I can't give you an exact number, but I think a 3 year old PC isn't going to sell for much more than 50% of it's original price. Especially with how much HDDs and SSDs have come down over the last couple of years. I'd be shooting for about $1200 maybe but it all depends on the used market in NZ.

It will eventually. People are finally realizing it's really not such a bad thing, but there's a much smaller community of users in the UK so it'll probably trail behind America.

Yeah I was happy with that. But anyway, I learned a lot about 4k over the last few days. For a start, it seems that the only mainstream place I can watch 4k content is youtube. Amazon and Netflix offer 4k, but only to certain devices. 4k tvs and the new xbox one and ps4 for example. I didn't know this so when I went to watch the latest episode of The Grand Tour, it was still in 1080. From what I've read to get 4k from those two services you're going to need the newer processors (Kaby Lake) to watch videos in 4k. Has something to do with copywrite bullshit. Secondly. A 27" monitor is too small for 4k. Running hearthstone in 4k made me realize that to get the full benefit from 4k on a 27" monitor you have to have your face less than 12 inches away from the screen. My normal viewing range can be anywhere from 1.5ft to 5ft depending on what I'm doing. Reclining back and watching a 4k movie you don't see a doubled improvement over 1080 that's for sure, maybe not even a 50% improvement from that distance back. Because of that I'd certainly recommend a QWHD (1440p) for a 27" monitor or smaller rather than 4k if that gets you better bang for the buck, but with 4k becoming more popular you might just get a better deal with 4k than QWHD anyway. I honestly have no idea why anyone would want a 4k monitor 24" and smaller, but they do make them. In hindsight I probably should have waited for 32" monitors to be more common and affordable, but who knows how long that's going to be.

You're all just jelly of my clouds.

Season finale of Westworld blew my mind.

Mother in law quit pretty easily using ecigs, she was a pack a day smoker. Don't f**k about with the cheap ones though. Go get yourself a decent starter kit like the 'eLeaf Melo 2'. The great thing about vaping is you can control the level of nicotine which you can't do with cigs, allowing you to drop the nic level when you're ready. You'll also get your nicotine without any of the harmful shit that comes with cigs, which is really what you need to quit. If you need any more advice on vaporizers just bump up the vape thread.

...and that doesn't show 4k. It literally makes no difference, apart from knowing they're there. I cannot see any of them and a close viewing distance let alone normal viewing distance. So to pack it up and ship it out and wait for a replacement all to end up with an identical viewing experience to me is pointless.... well not pointless, but 0.0004% benefit.

I could try for a partial refund, never thought about that. But I'm not returning it. No point wasting the time for zero benefit.

Funny thing is, the pixels are so small I can only see them when I have my face right up against the screen. Literally makes no difference and normal viewing range so I'm not going to bother sending it back.

..it has 30. Prayer doesn't work.

Called it.

Picked up an LG 27UD58 4k monitor for just $300. Never had an ISP panel before. Can't wait for it to get here just praying to the electronic gods it doesn't have any dead pixels.

But yeah it was pretty terrible. Very repetitive. I don't get why they're going for more of the cinematic shots as opposed to more of a reality feel. Epic races and cheap car challenges etc was for me the best parts but they haven't done either yet. Next week I bet the "celebrity" will be killed by falling off a swing bridge.

One thing I have to say though, they quality of amazon's steaming service is probably the best I've seen. Maybe because they're streaming in 4k and don't really care about compressing 1080p too much?

If it was anything else I wouldn't watch it to be honest. Was there ever time in Top Gear history where an episode was a great car show and a great comedy show for the non-enthusiasts?

Beautiful opener.

It's up!

Yeah very much enjoyed the last season. Would have liked a cool in depth / time travel episode like Ouroboros thrown in there though.
