I just went to auto parts store to drop off some used oil and a filter, and some guy was there talking to the girl at the counter. No biggie. I figured I'd wait for the next available clerk. But he kept glaring at me for some reason. Like I didn't belong. :sad3:

What a shitty clerk.
You should complain and get her fired!

Well, Amazon Mechanical Turk denied my application.

No idea as to why.


EDIT:Oh, it's because I'm not a US citizen.
Wow, that's lame. I'm pretty sure it's not US only though because I've seen a lot of tasks that I wasn't able to do because they are only available to people in the UK or India.

Clearly it was because you are so good looking that it made him look bad in comparison to her :dance:

If it was a personal conversation that went over a minute or two, I'd have demanded service from her. Then complained to the manager just to fuck up her day.

They were talking about a 4runner with a 3.0 liter engine, might of been work related, I dunno. Another clerk promptly came though. Can't really blame the clerk for another customer looking at me weird. It might've been that I was covered dirt from crawling around the floor under my car or the fact that the oil jug had a bit of dirty oil split on it or maybe it was because he didn't like the sight of a dirty brown princess. :hmm:

I think our PC actually is connected to it over WiFi or something.
I'm not sure how playing games would work, since it's in a separate room.
I'm sure anime will look great on it though.

On a semi related note I might order a new monitor on monday.

It's time to retire this 7 year old one.  :relax:

1440p

I'm tempted to go for 4k but as I've said in the past, that might just be too big.

Actually, most anime will look like shit, period, because most BD releases of anime are very lazy upscales, which you're then further blowing up to 4K.


I tried to find a good screenshot to demonstrate this, but finding a screencap that I was sure was from the BD release at full resolution proved more difficult than is reasonable, but some anime I recall as having really shitty BD transfers were The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya, and Baccano.

However, most anime films that got a theatrical release should have been produced at a higher resolution (And hopefully given more love during the transfer) so they're generally better, but still will look blown up as shit on 4K.

TL;DR:Your parents fucked up.

Why 4k when you could go 144hz  :sweatdrop:

Yeah, have you seen any video on that TV yet?

Because I've seen 4K content before, and it looks goooooooood, but sometimes, the shop will just have the hockey game or something on, and it looks awful.

Well the scaling thing you mentioned seems to be an issue for a lot of things, since most things aren't actually made for this resolution at the moment so a lot of it just gets scaled up and is bad. That's why I've been avoiding 4k also I'm poor.

We watched the X-men movie last night
It looks pretty good. Certainly better than the last T.V did.
