What I've learned this past week: Most video libraries (Vudu, etc.) are woefully incompetent about directing their users to 4K content they own - oblique Jul 9, 10:53 6
- Seriously, use the iTunes app on Roku. -- nm - David Jul 9, 10:56 5

    - On the Apple app on my Roku, my entire library is in 4k. -- nm - David Jul 9, 11:20 1
      - (But I still use Vudu almost exclusively.) -- nm - David Jul 9, 11:20
    - HDR != 4K. They are completely separate forms of visuals. -- nm - Shaun Jul 9, 11:01 1
      - Yeah, that's what I wasn't 100% sure of and why the "Watch in HDR" was like "ok, but..." when I saw it - oblique Jul 9, 11:02

    - I just love the idea that while the country is burning from multiple fires, actual and figurative, he decides to inspect basement rooms -- nm - zeitgeist Jul 9, 11:07 1
      - He really is *always* on the job. -- nm - Spawn Jul 9, 11:09
  - you mean the guy who would run INTO a school with an active shooter even if he didn't have a gun? that guy? -- nm - zeitgeist Jul 9, 11:02

Let's discuss this Kanye bid seriously for a moment from a logistical perspective - ty97 Jul 9, 10:46 19

  - haha - ty97 Jul 9, 10:56 1
    - Money seems to make people go fuckin' *insane*. -- nm - Reagen Jul 9, 11:10
- Does he need to get on the ballots? He could do some damage as a write-in, if he's serious. -- nm - Maracello Jul 9, 10:53 4
  - Do all states even allow write-ins? Regardless, I don't see that being an effective route. -- nm - ty97 Jul 9, 10:55 2

  - He was aware of the filing deadlines, so I don't think I have! - ty97 Jul 9, 10:50
- I have no answers for these, but his convention would be extraordinary -- nm - prayformojo Jul 9, 10:48

    - starting to see a pattern--everything around you and that you happen to do is safe and fine and yet everywhere else it isn't - JackDawson Jul 9, 11:11 2
      - starting to see a pattern where you try and stretch an explanation of my personal experience into some sort of categorical declaration. - znufrii, silly old man Jul 9, 11:29 1
        
        not at all, it's the opposite of categorical declarations which is the issue -- nm - JackDawson Jul 9, 11:33
    - not up here. People consistently ignore the arrows -- nm - decline Jul 9, 10:51 1
      - I mean, part of the problem is some of the ideas are moronic. Arrows? It's placebos and that's fine but they'r e not keeping anyone safe -- nm - JackDawson Jul 9, 11:11
