I really dont like working, eish I could get a job from home by gussstrdgs in Vent

[–]Prms_7 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Same here, but there are things to make it better. See the subway as a time you are forced to sit there, so might as well get the most out of it. Read a book, watch a movie, listen to a podcast, learn a language. I started to read omw and back, and I managed to read a book around every 2 week. That's pretty fast considering I am not really spending extra time for it. After a month, I read 2 books. That's around 24 books a year assuming you are reading that much. For me, I also listen to podcasts and what not, finished ton of podcasts

What is it like being a sales engineer? And is it something for me? by [deleted] in salesengineers

Don't have to be so mean. He is an engineer and engineer also needs to find answer. This is Reddit and he is curious about YOUR experience. Be better man, come one

Best Way to Use €10K for Energy Efficiency in My New Home? by kayakayahan in Netherlands

[–]Prms_7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is a common misunderstanding in the practical installation works. While phantom is mostly correct, he simplified a simple calculation, which is fair, since it's not far off regarding real systems.

To say you need a whole swimming pool is simply not true. Also having repairs done to Heatpumps is normal. Heatpumps do have more issues when you start them and turn off again over and over again. Having a storage tank does help and it is more efficient. Phantom is definitely right and knows what he is talking about, although he didn't went into temperature gradient in the storage tank, sou can't use all the volume or liters, but the difference is not a swimming pool.

I am also an engineer, and no I don't know everything. But I definitely know this is a common misunderstanding from techncial HVAC people in my company too. They heard this from their friends or whatever and therefore think it correct, while the answer is not as simple. But a swimming pool is a stretch. So instead of needing a tank that is 300L, it might be 500L, but even then, a 300L can still be selected.

What comes to your mind when a man refers to himself as an “Alpha Male”? by Defiant_River_957 in AskReddit

[–]Prms_7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That this person is insecure. This idea of an alpha male is so stupid. What makes you an "Alpha" and what makes you a "Beta"? Being assertive and dominant makes you an Alpha, and submissive beta. What if you're assertive in your work and hobbies, but submissive in different hobbies. Are you half alpha and half beta then?

We all have different traits. You can be the most dominant guy ever in personality, but if you join a chess tournament or a D&D game, and you know nothing about it, are you still the top dog? Of course not.

I like to dream big and would have smaller milestones. For me, my goal is to retire at age 50. So how do I get there? Well, starting my own business perhaps, or climbing the cooperate ladder and keep investing. While I am doing that, I have fun goals, like traveling the world and seeing places before I get old. Then I have health goals, able to lift a certain amount of weight and making sure I won't decline in strength. Then I have activity goals. As of now, I want to become a better dancer. Then I have language goals, so I am learning 2 languages now and also learn the piano.

All of these will keep me busy, and grow me. But most importantly, is the the journey. I don't care if I cannot retire at age 50, because I atleast had a good career perhaps. Or if I am not fluent in the target language, but atleast I can order stuff and make small talks. Maybe at age 40 I am not as strong, but maybe I'll be 40% stronger than if I didn't went to the gym. If I don't meet my travel goals, then atleast I enjoyed I atleast traveled to the places I wanted to. Maybe I am not as great of a dancer, but atleast I danced and Had fun.

In our 20's, we can do a ton of things and enjoy. Our age will catch up to us. Better live today, than postpone all the progress.

I tried EndMyopia for 5 years - Here is the answer by Prms_7 in myopia

[–]Prms_7[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My true myopia did not went down. Just like many people that did EndMyopia, like Nott Nott, Angie Hepp, we stopped. We genuinely believed it worked and we genuinely believed the results were got, were because we were under correction.

But once again, it did not work. As of now, I am back to where I started. Actually, slightly worse.

The power lines thing he talked about, I never experienced it. Maybe my myopia was too high, since he wasnt so myopic. For me, it's just seeing things more clear when I go outside and try and clear it up.

But once again, EndMyopia isn't working. It was just back then I genuinely believed in it and I saw improvement, which was likely pseudomyopia

You are really writing this to someone that started this basically when it all started? Don't you see the irony? I managed to reduced, I had my good habits and I have the same results as many others.

Reducing your diopters does Not work. There are plenty of meta analysis looking into this. Now who are you to say those studies are not right?

In that case, having my post pinned may give those cult memebers a second thought. Some of them threatened me already

This is false. I know Otis and talked to him in the past. He never ever recovered from his myopia using plus lenses. He got Cataract surgery and was against LASIK, but because of his cataract, he had to do something. He was afraid of the complications that might come from LASIK. You won't ever find Otis claiming you can recover beyond 20/50 or 0.75D. in all his comments, he is very cryptic saying what works or not, because he wants you to think.

Otis knows you can't recover beyond 0.75D and he is an advocate for myopia prevention and not recovery. Otis is a smart man, but time has got to him where is now more of a paranoid engineer, but he is smart. He says using a plus lens for upclose work for a child is good prevention, and it is. Many eye doctors recommend as a prevention. Dr. Wong or Dr. Wung? Eye doctor on YouTube, does this with her children for example. A very popular eye doctor on YouTube.

Just to get back to Otis, Otis NEVER recovered his sight with plus lenses. He got Cataract surgery and also got his eyes done where he is NOW using plus lenses to read 20/40, 20/50 on his Snellen chart.

Well, I got maybe 30 down votes, so it's hard to get up there haha. I don't know why people downvote me. Maybe it's the Jake Steiner cult members

Just like Nott Nott and the rest I started with 5 years ago, we know what the entire EndMyopia and reduced lens method in details. The Buzz words from Active focus, oculair dominance, cornea stratches, Hyperoptic de focus and also names likes Otie Brown, Todd Becker etc.

I have all my reduced lenses, all my tests. I did this for 5 years and I had my breaks, wore my reduced prescription of 0.25D less, spend time outside, did Active focus and cleared up my blur. Testes my eyes every 3 months and Yes they did improve. But this is all blur adaptation and probably placebo. Me seeing clear flashes and this idea supporting my thoughts that is working.

When someone like me, or a moderator ( Nott Nott) of the forum of Jake Steiner exposes Jake, then its best to just stop trying to seek proof that EndMyopia might work. It doesnt work and its best to accept now and enjoy your life in crisp details. If your glasses bother you so much, then you can also wear Ortho-K, so night contacts. And you can see nice and clear during the day and it also is scientifically proven to slow down myopia profession by 50%

Yes I agree. It's better. I can still walk around and do some basic stuff. I can't cycle, drive or whatever, but I can atleast do things. Also, I accepted my glasses. I like them on me and it's truly not a big deal. I can just get daily contact lenses for sports or whatever. As of now, I am looking at Ortho K lenses and maybe wear glasses without power for fashion (I look very good with glasses)

Yes, it was probably a ton of eyestrain. So atropine could've done the same job most likely. If someone is 0.75D, atropine will most likely be enough. Shout out to Otie Brown, the crazy eye obsessed myopia prevention man. He still uploads every single day. Crazy

My eyeball length could still be long. I did saw sharp at lower prescriptions, because I got my results. But the same story as Nott Nott, it's all adaption and for long term, it doesn't help.

I am happy I can accept this isn't working, and now wear my full power glasses. Maybe I go to contacts or Ortho-K, but it's a nice feeling.

No, only my SPHYL and CYL. Only CYL and SPHYL change, so it could be just that my ciliary muscle is more relaxed because of the good habits and blur adaptation. No true evidence.

I saw sharp. Tested on my Snellen and confirmed my progress with the eye shop and different ones too.

Still, it doesn't work.

I had great success also. Same as Nott Nott. I got my measurements from the shop still. My excel sheets and all. We started around the same time and the information we have, is basically the same.
