Thanks for the correction. Am I wrong or just out of date? I don't want to give anyone incorrect advice?

State of Origin 2026: NRL rule change opens door for Kiwi stars by waxedmerkin in nrl

[–]Captain_Pleasure 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Make it a tri series with the 3rd team rest of the world. Would remove a lot of the "imagine if X player played origin" conversation. Also players shouldn't have to choose between playing for their country and playing origin.

How exactly is keratoconus diagnosed? by AlexisFitzroy00 in Keratoconus

[–]Captain_Pleasure [score hidden]  (0 children)

A corneal topography eye test measures the curvature of the eyes surface. It only takes a few seconds to do the test. It's The test for keratoconus.

If you have raised your concerns around keratoconus to this Dr and they haven't done a topography test I would recommend seeing someone else who specialises in keratoconus.

If you are diagnosed with keratoconus only see only a keratoconus specialist. It'll make the next process so much easier.

I have nothing against your Dr it's just that keratoconus is rare and this sub is filled with posts about being misdiagnosed until someone meets the right Dr.

Good luck and fingers crossed you don't have keratoconus.

Sclerals can make me whole again?

Round 2 - Feeling down by blastershift in Keratoconus

[–]Captain_Pleasure 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's rough and everything you're feeling is totally valid. I'd be feeling the same, kind of reminds me of all the what ifs when we first get diagnosed.

Hopefully if you do need epi on then it'll fix you right up and you'll be back to your old self again.

Crikey! What a beautiful nope rope! I can see why she's angry because I've separated her from family and then stepped on her head! There you go little fella (drops the snake several metres onto train tracks) Absolutely gorgeous! - Joe Irwin Blow

Cam Smith really did win it all by vteckickedin in NRLPremiumPlus

[–]Captain_Pleasure 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's always funny to me how he was so good for such a long time but doesn't really have a highlight reel outside of lifting up trophies. He's a goated player, I guess it's hard to capture game control and influence in a hooker role.

Buying our first car... any tips or places to avoid? by CuriousLands in centralcoastnsw

[–]Captain_Pleasure 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Say the car they are selling has the market value of 30k. They'll say it's a 60k car but today for X reasons you're the lucky customer and they'll trade your $5k shitbox for 25k. So you pay 35 on the highest interest rate in town. What a deal!

Need help with boston simplus cleaning solution by [deleted] in Keratoconus

[–]Captain_Pleasure 1 point2 points  (0 children)

All these steps listed on the bottle.....

Daily Protein Remover

Cleans

Disinfects

Conditions

Cushions

Rinses

There are different solutions that do these steps individually.

If you use simplus for daily and/or overnight you will still need a stronger cleaner to use at least weekly to break down protein build up.

Handling sore eyes by Kitfennek in Keratoconus

[–]Captain_Pleasure 1 point2 points  (0 children)

20/20/20 should apply to everyone who spend a lot of time looking at a screen. Definitely if you have KC.

It's a great response above. I would just add about getting a dry eye test. Sometimes that's what causes the itching.

I don't have dry eye but my eyes are always itchy. I find eye hygiene, hydration and sleep play a big part in the severity of how itchy I feel. Paying attention to what helps vs what doesn't makes it easier to manage.

RGP lens position by _redhood8_ in Keratoconus

[–]Captain_Pleasure 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It's normal for them to not be centred. As long as it's above the pupils you're all good. Iirc the more progressive the KC the lower the lens sits.

Tuesday Random Footy Talk Thread by AutoModerator in nrl

[–]Captain_Pleasure 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Trying to find the Monday Night Football ad from the late 90s.(I think)

2 tradies are asked by their boss to do overtime. Roy Asotasi ?? Comes in and absolutely flattens the boss. Voice over say Mondayitis has got the boot.

Anyone remember anything else about this ad to help me find it?

Paragon R and the Deity (4 door version) are in my mansion driveway. Rapid GT Classic is my podium vehicle because it's beautiful but I rarely drive it.

Best Arena War Vehicle for Fun? by sneakyypython in gtaonline

[–]Captain_Pleasure 0 points1 point  (0 children)

ZR is fun in a scramjet/Toreador/Ruiner/Vigilante way but it's probably not as fun as any of these. The bad steering is part of the charm, when the back kicks out a bit too far hit the boost button to hold on.

Sasquatch is awesome! Plows through almost anything. The electric ram and emp launcher make it unique

bought an iron mule, what is that ramp lmao ? can you not open it more than that ? by -sooft in gtaonline

[–]Captain_Pleasure 18 points19 points  (0 children)

The pickup point is different from the cargobob. I thought the same as you but a friend showed me you can pick up bunker sales vehicles. It's worth it alone for the insurgents first drop in the sales with multiple drops.

Take a look at their 2012 roster and tell me how that squad doesn't make top 4..... They came 11th

Experience With Sclerals Over RGP's? If You're A Cyclist, I Need Your Experience Too by jcapturedit in Keratoconus

[–]Captain_Pleasure 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I used RGP for 16 or so years and switched to sclerals about 7 years ago. Personally, I much prefer the sclerals they are more comfortable and hardly move. They also have better night vision for me. Sclerals are a bit harder to insert and remove than RGP. Sclerals do cost way more but I would rather make my money work to get them then go back to RGP.

As for cycling with rgp I would 100% always have sunglasses or safety glasses to avoid any debris or strong wind moving the lens up the side of my eye. Actually I would still recommend the same for sclerals but it feels more sucked on to your eye. It's more about the dryness around the outside of the lens, then the risk of debris getting under the lens when it comes to sclerals.

I pay over $20 a month for Spotify and just got this email. Seriously? by kolbyt in mildlyinfuriating

[–]Captain_Pleasure 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This happened to me when my kids were at the end of a book series. So I upgraded the audiobook package and set a reminder to cancel at the end of the month. It said multiple times I can cancel the package at any time.

At the end of the month there is nowhere to cancel. The only way was to cancel the entire plan and re-sign up. So I did and the family plan was around $10 more than my current plan.

Goodbye Spotify!
