water floss

waterpik too high pressure wear away erode enamel. set to 3 soft setting.

portable older version too strong even with blue tip. fred meyer 6month return on this. can be used to clean things like tall pots and vitamix. very useful for that actually.

let battery drain all the way before recharging. this isn't li-ion.

asus vg248qe. matte coating not as bad as acer h203h. hard to remove acer h203h coating because so thick hard for water to soak thro. hoping asus is easier.

newegg open box no problems except weird white 2 inch flicker lines on bottom right corner in lightboost mode. can't notice in game but occasionally see it over black desktop background.

stand is amazing. can use on other monitors. 24in TN is too big for desk use. lightboost hack really is amazing. very crt like. better than 144hZ.  but maybe more eyestrain cuz now you contantly focused on center of screen tracking objects. despite smooth, your eyes are focused longer.

font interpolation sucks. sharpness setting helps. none native res text sucks to read. very bright. tough PWM dimmed. use at night in dark room reading text not comfortable.


update: apparently new versions of the qe now aren't easy to remove. vega ripped his polerizor and he's really experienced

returned my que cuz the colors were bad. dont play enough pro fps to justify it. 200 bucks open box perfect condition almost. kind of regret it. wasn't too bad for text reading taking off my glasses and reading upclose with sharpness turned up so i can see white edges around text easier to read that way w/o glasses. relaxing for eyes

costco cash card without membership

tried to use costco cash card without membership card. let me in the door, but new cashier said he 'never heard of the policy'  called customer service later to complain they apologized and said i should be able to shop there.

read on other blog that it is sometimes not store policy to allow cash card only into store. must buy special pass.
