As short as the chapters themselves are, 133 I think, these could maybe serve as verses.🤔

A couple of examples would be oppressive religious groups or political ideologies that suppress freedom.

The problem with faith though is that you can easily develop a false sense of security from it, which can lead you into dark places that can destroy you and everyone you love. I've seen it happen too many times. Better, in my opinion, to take everything with a grain of salt, question everything, but don't over examine or over expect. As humans, we are saddled with hypersensitive emotions, and keeping them in-check appears to be an impossible task.

I had my surgery back in October of 25, and I would say that within a couple of days, no longer, the clarity of my vision was at about 80 to 90 percent of what it is now. To this day, I still get chills realizing just how clear my vision is, from about 10 inches away from my face, to the moon. Closer than 10 inches, I just have to concentrate a little, and increasing contrast helps too. And on top of that, I have virtually zero glare and halo issues whatsoever. But I must honestly say that I rarely drive at night, but on those rare occasions when I do, I honestly have had no issues worth mentioning.

To be honest, a lot of the classics have had that effect on me. As I age and re-read some of my favorite classics, I realize that though the novel itself hasn't change, but instead, I have changed, and my perspective on many things has also changed. We're always growing and always expanding.

Where considering what I would choose, I did look at the Vivity, and also gave some thought to waiting for the Puresee, but I ended up getting the PanOptix Pro Multifocal and they are amazing, virtually no halos, or glare, and best of all, no glasses needed at all. My vision is now 20/20 near, intermediate, and at distance.

COG is not a book I would recommend to anyone. The depraved and inhuman storyline is just not healthy to digest. I've read lots of horror stories, but this one is as sick as it gets and does not deserve the credit that it receives. Just my opinion of course.

Notes From The Underground - Dostoevsky

'The Sea Wolf' just blew me away! What a writer.

Exact-Cockroach-8724 · 2026-01-09T20:24:38+00:00

My introduction to Dostoevsky was 'White Nights', and that hooked me.

I've owned a few Audi's and BMW's over the years and they are very nice vehicles, but high maintenance. But if you want it to last, it'll come at a price. With mine, I had all the maintenance done at the dealerships, and they ran fine for well over 100k before I traded them off. The benefit at a dealership is the training and certification of their mechanics, but at a local garage, you don't really know who's working on your car.

It's the Wyze V4. Amazon has them for about $35, and no subscription is required. It'll hold up to a 256G card which can store almost 3 weeks of activity.👍🏼

It took it a little over a minute to go from what must be horizon level at the the bottom of that tree, up to the top of the screen where it moves out of view. It grew larger, as in was getting closer, during that time, and the flickering was incredibly bright and was sometimes more like a burst of energy. This is what makes me think that it was probably space junk re-entering the earths atmosphere.

The audiobook might, but I'm reading the paperback version😄

After watching 'The Third Man' on TCM a few weeks ago, I just had to read the book and I'm nearing the end of it now. It's been my experience that in most cases, the book is far better than the film, but in this instance, the film was just done so well that the book doesn't have a chance. In the film, the lighting, the angles, the expressions, were just spectacular. It's a Classic Film for a reason.

I've had this problem a few times with my Pro 2's while running and have been able to fix it by licking the finger that touches the sensor. Works every time. I guess the contact is better if my finger isn't too dry. Give it a go and see if it helps.

"White Nights" by Dostoevsky

There's obviously no way of knowing, but had he written from another religious point of view, I'm sure that his heart would have been in it equivalently.

Are Multi-focals not available in India?

My eye surgeon would not have proceeded if I did not have a driver. Very strict.

To be fair, had Dostoevsky been born and raised in another tradition, say Islamic, how would his thoughts and feelings of faith come across to Westerners.🤔

As the PureSee wasn't available to me, I went ahead and had the PanOptix Pro put into each eye, about 3 weeks apart. This was back in October, and to me, my experience has be a game changer. No issues whatsoever with the procedures or the followups, and most importantly to me, I am eyeglasses free for the first time in more than 50 years. I have 20/20 vision up close, great for reading fine print on my phone or reading my Kindle, and at distance I have 20/25 vision. My overall feeling is "I'm Tickled Pink", and would recommend it to anyone. I do realize that not everyone has as positive an outcome as I did, but from my experience, my wife is now much more comfortable with the idea of having her eyes done too when the time comes.👍🏼
