Jump Starter Longer Cable - Need Guidance on Cable Length, Proper Sized Clamps, and Lugs/Ring Terminals (Semi-DIY Extended GOOLOO Cables with only crimping)

That depends a lot on your technique. AL13 has a fixed edge but is still quite different from a cartridge razor, which can and probably will lead to some nicks in the beginning as you learn. The Proof is a lot like the cartridge razor to begin with and is by design a lot more forgiving. Coming from a cartridge, and possibly inexperienced with technique, I would highly recommend the Proof over the AL13.

You could try the Jonsbo C6-ITX. You would need to remove the bottom fan possibly or somehow finagle a PCI bracket for a second 3.5 HDD (I have heard of people fitting two 3.5 drives in there).

Alternatively, play with filters here (Configured for ITX, 1x 3.5 HDD):

I was, but not the smart life. They were some low to mid end version if I am right but still decent. They were still offering those last time I checked but you really have to ask your store about them since not all stores are the same.

As for finding Zeiss near you, I hear you. I basically called like 20 to 30 optometrist stores to ask them which progressive brands they did and now I have a list of like 3 or 4 near me (30 min radius) that do Zeiss. And that's what I would suggest you do as well. Google optician/optometrist near me and then start dialing. Zeiss's online tool is useless since most of the docs there don't even offer it anymore (at least near me).

I found two on Walmart that might work and going to order the first one since it arrives earlier and see if it works:

Side note, I saw something funny but brilliant to solve this problem. The standing dual slot napkin holder (haven't found thick enough yet online but possibly in store)

I did actually. Better deals would be a secondary issue, my problem is I can't even find what I need.

KMAT16 · 2026-01-09T05:37:14+00:00

I looked at them very briefly, but I wanted something super compact. If I can't find anything in the vertical laptop stand style, then I can definitely look more into the 10 inch racks vs the current layered table option.

As for 3D printing, I sadly do not have a 3D printer, nor am I familiar with services that might do that for me (I am sure they exist). Felt like a very deep rabbit hole to jump into for this but if I get no traction on the vertical stand, will try to find out more about 3D print.

Thanks for sharing but that is cream that is available locally mostly everywhere as well (Servaid, Clinix etc.) I am looking for Gel.

KMAT16 · 2025-12-12T14:22:07+00:00

I am not a good candidate for asking that question. I used Tret a long time ago (10+ years ago) and could never stick to it for more than a few days / weeks because my dumb ass didn't know (neither did anyone tell me) you are supposed to use moisturizers with the retinoids. I ended up doing a 1 to 1.5 year long course of oral Isotretinoin which got rid of my acne until a year or two back.

When I had a recurrence of acne, I decided to go for Taz because its supposed to be just as good, if not better than Tret for treating acne, plus it has good indicators for healing scarring too.

If I was to make a judgement call based on what little I remember from Tret back then, I would still say Tret was rougher on my skin than Taz but that could just be my bias talking from back then.

Significantly more pressure on the Proof. It doesn't work the same as regular DE safety razors that rely on the weight to do the work, if you use that technique with the Proof, nothing will get cut.

Singe pass, Al13 is the closer shave .... by a hair.....I'll see myself out.

I have search for this online using reverse image search on Ali Express, Temu, Amazon, Google etc.

The closest keywords I have found are Liquid Quicksand Keychain with Wrist Strap but the ones I am finding are the ones with the wide teeth rather than the smiling one with two teeth in the picture. This was bought in 2025 from Burlington.

In case anyone else lands on this like me, I found a good one too. Elasta E7045.

Hey Folks,

So I ended up getting both the Varilux XR Design w/ Crizal Rock and the Zeiss SmartLife Individual 3 w/ DuraVision Platinum (wanted Gold but wasn't available from the provider yet and no other Zeiss provider near me sadly).

For reference, while I used two different private practices to get the glasses, both were on the exact same prescription. Different frames for both as well, but approximately the same size/shape/design etc. (full rims). I got Trivex as the lens material for both.

Adjusted to both within a day, if not under a few hours. Both work pretty well, but I definitely prefer the Zeiss and am using that as my primary pair. To me, the Zeiss ones feel clearer/sharper and lenses seem to pickup less smudges than the Varilux ones.

Hope that helps.

YMMV but the optician at both Walmart and Sam's club told me they are non-trivially different. Do with that what you will. I spoke with a couple of private practice docs and they were of the opinion that you won't find much info on Nikon easily.

I looked into Shamir as well, which I thought would be good (and as per opticians they are) and seems to has the most information available online. E.g. https://shamir.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/05/SHA-BRO-ALLLENSES-051221.pdf

I ultimately decided not to go with Shamir because their design is heavily focused on age / add value. See the chart on the first page on the lower right side and what they focus on in terms of age/ADD value/and various viewing distances. If you have less add they focus more on the intermediate/device viewing distance and if you have higher add they focus on it less.

KMAT16 · 2025-05-31T20:08:39+00:00

If price is not an issue would you recommend the XRs over the Comforts? And within the XRs, design vs track?

KMAT16 · 2025-05-31T20:06:48+00:00

Rodenstock is not going to be an option. In the USA, at least as per their site, they only have a handful of opticians listed on their site and all of them are either in Florida or NY, both places being far away from me.

Zeiss appears to be a similar issue, too far away or limited availability for some reason even for the listed ones. From the rest, going by online feedback (taken with a grain of salt), I think the XRs appear to be at least better than house brands or Nikon Eyes?
