Anybody know a way to fix a scratch on a Blu Ray that affects playback? All the home remedies out there seem to be DVD specific. The surface of a Blu Ray is different from a DVD of course.

Where were you in '77?

I wasn't sure Blu-rays could get scratched. I imagine that the peanut butter thing would still work to fill in the gap. Couldn't make it worse.

I'm lucky enough to have a functioning video rental store in my town with a disc resurfacer. As far as I can tell, they don't use different machines for Blu's, so you should be fine with whatever remedy you go with.

Contrary to popular belief, God did not create Blu-rays directly from His substance. ;-)

 I hate it when that happens.

 that is a good question which we will probable never get the answer to.   I wish rule 5 would apply to off topic as well.  No one should get harrassed anywhere on the forum.  If it had applied to off topic, I would have had a lot less trouble here from people like abc.

 What I want to know is why you didn't use "whom" instead of that second "who"? ;)

It's getting harder and harder for me to believe that I ever found Miley Cyrus attractive.

Wait, she was considered attractive at one point?  I guess I never paid much attention to her because I thought she went straight from looking like a little girl to someone who had done way too many drugs and is in danger of starving to death. 

Shows what I know.

 They are more scratch resistant than DVD's, but not impervious to poor handling. It was a used rental disc I got dirt cheap. With all the nasty things I used to see stuck to VHS rentals, I can only imagine what some people do to rental discs.

The video breaks up for a couple seconds about half an hour in. A different player might even blissfully ignore it.

Guess I better buy some peanut butter?

Your rental place didn't check it first? That's pretty shitty. I love my Family Video.

I'd be lying if I said I didn't find teenage girls attractive. I did when I was a teenager, so why wouldn't I now?

That being said, I'm not going to jump in bed with one; even if there weren't statutory rape laws to deal with, few teenage girls have enough taste and intellect to engage me beyond a physical level -- most are idiots, to put it bluntly.

There's something sadly beautiful about hearing birds sing at twilight.

God bless the avian species' -- they make the world more beautiful than it deserves to be.

What sort of things do you command it to do?  Unspeakable things?

I command it to open the minds and hearts of unbelievers to the spirit of the Unknown God, but it rarely ever listens to me.

Enjoy the evil that is the full sized version of my avatar:

I'm so proud of myself for how well I managed to edit the logos out of it in an (almost) seamless way.

Anything that is truly evil is either superficially beautiful or above human comprehension. Your avatar is neither. Therefore you FAIL!

 It was an ebay purchase.

 Quite right. That's why I hang out with you guys--all my peers are just too dumb for any extended interaction with them to be tolerable. ;)

 Well I did when I was a teenager but once I reached my 20s they just didn't do anything for me.  Also now my little sister is a teenager so that ads another level of creepy to it.

Honestly I never knew MS was supposed to be good looking.  To me she was just that kid from that Disney show who then went nuts, I just assumed everyone else saw her that way as well.
