[01:55] IsambardPrince I already have that one on Blu Ray though, not their release. Wonder if they added anything. [01:57] IsambardPrince MinceR, What they want for their 4K Blu Ray releases is truly ridiculous. [01:58] IsambardPrince They cost twice as much as the Blu Ray. [01:58] MinceR what's the advantage of non-4K BluRay over DVD? ● Apr 24 [02:00] IsambardPrince DVD is 480i and MPEG-2, Blu Ray is 1080p and MPEG-4 AVC, and 4K Blu Ray is 2160p and HEVC. [02:00] IsambardPrince HEVC sounds like a disease. [02:01] IsambardPrince Like "1 in 4 Boomers has HEVC, so check yourself before you wreck yourself." [02:01] IsambardPrince At the doctor's office, on a poster on the wall. [02:03] MinceR :> [02:03] MinceR ouch, i thought DVD was at least "HD ready" [02:03] MinceR i guess it mattered to me too long ago [02:04] IsambardPrince There was an HD release of Terminator 2 on DVD, but they did that by making it WMV 9 720p and you needed a Windows computer to watch it. It used some sort of Microsoft DRM so I'm sure that disc no longer even works. [02:06] IsambardPrince MinceR, There was also a failed HD-DVD format. [02:06] IsambardPrince Microsoft was pushing it because it used a variant of WMV as the video codec. [02:07] IsambardPrince They made you buy a $100 external drive for the XBOX 360 which wasn't usable by video game publishers. [02:07] IsambardPrince So nobody bought one. [02:07] IsambardPrince https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HD_DVD [02:07] TR Bot HD DVD - Wikipedia [02:08] IsambardPrince "On March 31, 2006, Toshiba released their first consumer-based HD DVD player in Japan at 110,000 (US$934).[29] HD DVD was released in the United States on April 18, 2006,[30] with players priced at $499 and $799." [02:08] IsambardPrince Steep. [02:08] IsambardPrince Especially for a failed format. [02:08] IsambardPrince MinceR, I didn't buy into the HD formats until one of them died off. [02:09] IsambardPrince Some disc publishers offered their catalog on both formats for a while, then some players did both. [02:09] IsambardPrince Then HD DVD lost and had no publishers. [02:09] IsambardPrince Sony Pictures obviously never supported it. [02:12] IsambardPrince MinceR, There were like 480-some titles on HD DVD in the end. [02:12] IsambardPrince Many were incomplete, like Battlestar Galactica. [02:12] IsambardPrince They never released the full set on HD DVD. [02:13] IsambardPrince "The final HD DVD major-studio releases in the United States were Paramount's Into the Wild, Warner's P.S. I Love You and Twister, on May 27, 2008. In June, the final HD DVD, Freedom: 6, was released by Bandai Visual, which acknowledged the demise of HD DVD, but stated that it wanted to complete the release of the seven-part Freedom Project, of which six parts had been released." [02:13] IsambardPrince LOL [02:13] MinceR > you needed a Windows computer to watch it. [02:13] MinceR lol [02:13] IsambardPrince "The seventh part, due for August 2008, never saw a release." [02:14] MinceR i wanted HD-DVD to fail because it was MICROS~1, and it did [02:14] IsambardPrince It was pretty obvious to me that HD DVD was going to lose, but I wanted to make sure before I bought a player. [02:14] MinceR but it doesn't seem to matter, as optical media is irrelevant at this point [02:14] IsambardPrince I did not want to sink money into discs only to find out they didn't play on anything.

There's no point even getting out of bed to go to fucking work. They tax you twice as bad as any other state, minimum, and you have to make so much to live there, your federal tax goes through the roof. Federal tax brackets are the same for any income level anywhere in the nation, so they inherently favor lower cost of living states. So you make a fortune by the standards of any other state, only to have [07:23] IsambardPrince it all robbed from you from a combination of government theft, the cost of having to pay everyone you encounter who also has to afford to live there, and the federal government who set tax policy based on living literally anywhere else in the country. [07:24] IsambardPrince Then there's a real estate bubble because they've jacked up their laws so bad that some people are paying the same rent they paid in the 1980s and others pay $8,000 a month for a one bedroom, meanwhile the zoning is so fucked up, nobody can demolish anything that's not serving the public well and build multiunit housing that would decrease prices by way of market forces. [07:27] IsambardPrince Libs: "I know how we'll solve the housing crisis! First, we won't build any new housing inventory past the 1970s, then we'll set a law saying you can never raise rent, but only on some units and only until the tenant leaves. Hey, why are all the buildings on fire now?" [07:28] IsambardPrince Officially, according to the San Francisco government, over twice as many apartments catch fire as any other city, but there's no reason why, they just can't figure out why, and why rent control units are the only ones that go up in flames.
