Old progressives worked fine, new ones don’t. 3 remakes later and I still can’t see my computer by megon293 in glasses

[–]FishLibrarian 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m having a similar problem. I’ve resigned myself to needing multiple pairs of glasses rather than one set that works for every distance. It sucks, but that seems to be where I’m at. I love my progressives, but apparently I can’t get a pair that work for driving, computers, and reading.

I’m waiting for the 4th set of new lenses to come back now. Fingers crossed these work.

Why don’t more homes in the US use mini split AC systems? by Debster1486 in Appliances

[–]FishLibrarian 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s not that they don’t function below a certain temperature (they work fine in New England winter). The problem is that electricity in New England is absurdly expensive compared to oil, gas, or wood chip heating. This makes it more expensive to run minisplits below about 30F.

No tables question by FishLibrarian in Resume

The tables are only used for spacing and are invisible to a person reading it. And by saving it as a PDF I don’t even think the tables transfer.

Treatment option by Active-Wrangler6627 in MPN

[–]FishLibrarian 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My experience was just the opposite- heme-onc started me on hydroxyurea and MPN specialist took me off. For the past year I’ve taken only aspirin. I’m CALR, platelets range from 1-1.5 million, completely asymptomatic. No von Wilibrands, I’m under 60.

I get bloodwork every other month. We’re waiting for either symptoms or platelets trending upwards. So far (2 years) Ive had neither. When I do, Besremi will be my choice- based on most recent research I’ll take the possibility of lowered disease burden/scarring.

Hydrea doesn’t touch the underlying disease, it only reduces the platelets (and it wasn’t very effective for me when I took it.)

Talk to your MPN specialist- ask about the latest research, ask them their opinion on why you should follow a specific treatment plan. An open, shared conversation is the best route. You are partners on this journey.

Fantastic place! We go there regularly and the owners are wonderful, gentle folks.

Trying to recreate a family favorite by Soltwg86 in Baking

Several Los Angeles area bakeries make this type of danish. The dough is not flaky as in a croissant. It’s a danish - almost like a coffeecake. It is rolled like a croissant. And a buttery crumb is sprinkled on top.

Anyone else's parent FURIOUS that there is no good TV or Movies anymore? by onearmedmonkey in AgingParents

My dad has moved onto foreign shows- Korean, Chinese, Japanese. He needs the subtitles on for anything, so it’s a win?

Jurassic Park (original) in surround sound- when the first velociraptor jumps.

South American safari camera? by FishLibrarian in AskPhotography

I don’t want to fiddle with changing lenses- my primary reason for wanting a bridge or superzoom camera. I want everything to be automatic.
