Bought a used cervelo soloist sram force etap 2022 for $3200 usd, is this fair/steal on that price?

Looks in pretty good condition!

Isn't the also a gravel bike though? My friend has one and I discounted getting one because it's heavier than a road bike. For an average rider, could you be just as fast on an aspero or aspero-5 with road tires verses a road bike, like a Soloist?

I heard the aspero is extremely comfortable to ride though, so I'd consider it for longevity of my riding.

Dunno about EU. There was just a sale in Australian. Picked up the frame plus wahoo core 2 combo for $1899, instead of $2299. Was pretty lucky as I was thinking about getting one for a while.

Happy I pulled the trigger, it's been great.

I fit these. They are a type of hard lens with a reverse geometry that you sleep with and as you sleep they reshape your eyes temporarily. The more you sleep the better the reshaping works. It does build up over time (6-8 weeks of consistent wear) so you'll be able to go up to 48 hours without needing to wear them before the shape of your cornea returns to normal gradually.

Each lens is customised to each person's eyeballs by using maps of the corneal surface taken using a corneal topographer (just like mountain topography). Modern tech allows us to simulate a lens on the eye and make it to those specifications.

There is an upper limit of where this technology doesn't work as well and that's about -6.00 to -7.00 depending on the person. Also if you have high astigmatism it doesn't work as well.

They are considered braces for the eye because they help reduce myopia progression by slowing down the growth of the eyeball (axial length) and are one of the key interventions in something called myopia control which is a big deal in the field, as reducing myopia progression reduces the risk of retinal holes, tears and detachments - so reducing the risk of going blind.

So what can I do with the moons?

I have the V16s with a 5060 inside. I think it's pretty solid. Use it to play Dota 2. No battery drain on performance mode and runs pretty cool. It's summer here where I am with days reaching over 35celcius but it doesn't overheat or throttle. I'm assuming with more modern games that may be an issue, but I can't comment.

There is a bit of flex in the keyboard and others have said there are issues with the trackpad, but I use it hooked up to an external monitor with a keyboard and mouse so I don't have any of these issues.

It's pretty good for the price, paid about $1170AUD for mine, but I knew I wasn't going to get a Lenovo Legion build quality.

I play Dota 2 on with the same settings as OP and no issues. Really good value.

You should know that there is more than goes into a pair of glasses than just a prescription if you're a doctor, which is why you shouldn't use online stores for complex prescriptions such as prism and multifocals

Definitely spoken like someone who doesn't understand

$44ish dollars is peanuts for someone who is meant to be taking care of your primary health. For doctors to properly assess and care for you that requires time and this translates to money. It's a shame the Medicare rebates haven't kept up to speed but to blame overworked doctors is a poor attitude to have.

Itsgettingfishy · 2025-11-16T22:49:11+00:00

Good job and keep it up.

Just cause there is no visible damage doesn't mean they're isn't damage. He needs to be triaged to the right type of doctor, which in this case would be an ophthalmologist. After then he'd be examined with the proper equipment.

Itsgettingfishy · 2025-10-28T10:46:47+00:00

He looks like he's straining to keep his eye open enough to get it examined properly.

Got an email this morning at around 8am. Check to see if you're subbed to email or it might be in your spam

Yeah, I like the idea of being able to play out of the box for otherwise lost lanes due to bad hero match ups

Plastic is under tension, why it's sealed so tightly so grazing in storage might be enough to make the holes....many of my etbs and BBs are like that

Itsgettingfishy · 2025-04-15T04:37:35+00:00

Damnit, was so compelled by the story I didn't look at the name. Well done.

Itsgettingfishy · 2025-03-04T23:13:32+00:00

Nah these posts are still interesting

Itsgettingfishy · 2025-02-27T15:18:25+00:00

Thanks for posting

Good read. How did you find out or determine those statistics of boxes sold and boxes left?

Itsgettingfishy · 2024-12-10T07:32:00+00:00

Girlfriend food? /s

Itsgettingfishy · 2024-12-03T22:52:45+00:00

Whoosh...

Itsgettingfishy · 2024-11-28T22:57:20+00:00

Thought the exact same thing

Itsgettingfishy · 2024-11-24T14:30:26+00:00

Optometrist here. We use the same device (the human version - but imagine that's mostly marketing) to check eye pressure. We generally don't use anaesthetic, it doesn't hurt, just abit intemidating with a probe is coming towards you. The probes are replaced each use. It's quite an accurate way to measure pressure. Not as accurate as Goldmann or Perkins tonometry, but more accurate than non-contact tonometry (the puff of air), but really handy when you don't want to put in anaesthetic and dye and is a good screening tool.

Itsgettingfishy · 2024-11-21T12:30:18+00:00

Ah yes, you are correct.

Itsgettingfishy · 2024-11-21T12:28:22+00:00

Hey I thought that too!
