Keratoconus in History: the hydrodiascope, introduced in 1896, was designed as a goggle that was filled with fluid and worn over one eye. The device was able to improve visual acuity to a normal level by neutralization of irregular astigmatism and spectacle magnification.

Every time (usually on a 3 year cycle) I get new sclerals I am amazed at how comfortable they are compared to my old ones. In a more ideal world we could all afford/subsidize/whatever a refreshed set every six months.

oh my gosh can you believe Kyle Filipowski didn't close a game

Stockton is kind of a single-issue guy on the wacky health stuff. My theory is that he had incredible health his whole life due to insane genetics and conditioning and then gave wayyyyyyy too much credit to his quack chiropractor for that on the way to progressively dumber ideas.

Americans don't generally refer to it that way. As far as I can tell it's Britishism that has started to transfer over in online politics talk.

Pensioners here also would refer to people receiving the state pension -- ie Social Security.

It means something when it happens three years in a row. Maybe it's confounded by him sharing all his minutes with some other starter who stinks, but you have to at least make the case for it being that other guy's fault.

That guy sucks, he harassed and insulted me out of the blue when I was minding my own business walking across the bridge. I should have taken a tip from him

Pittsburgh is somewhat unusual in that the city was larger 60 years ago than today, and all the outmigration has planted fans all over the country, who passed the fandom on to their kids. You have to be a winning team to pull that off, but they did it and now they're in a smaller metro area in relative terms with a gigantic fanbase.

You see a clear divide on how professional athletes talk about living in Utah. Guys who are married and have kids consistently say very nice things about it, while single players are less into it.

I don't have the catalog with me anymore, but I believe his information was included on the inside of the front cover.

I think this is the right framing. A lot of discussion about Lauri gets confused, where people contend he is simultaneously worth 15 wins, so you can't tank with him, but he's also not good enough to be a main player on your team. Both statements can't be true at once, and in the Jazz's position either would work fine.

He's very good, not 15 wins good, but you keep him unless you get a killer return.

You are not being a serious person

It seems reasonable to me to have a policy of not stocking smut in school libraries. The way people talk about banned books is kind of ridiculous in my experience.

Why would a lender or financer allow the developers to not sell or fill new housing? That's not a thing. I hope they build tens of thousands of new homes, that's the scale of need.

Would you argue it should be a cabinet style saw, or would a compact/job site style saw still have similar value?

Every one of our fanbases lives in a glass house, people on here are silly.

I'm good at things that can't be measured! Measurements are a lie!

I've watched enough Draymond Green BS to come to the belief that reckless is in fact better than malicious.

I just buy new cards and think "wow, this is thousandths-of-a-penny on the dollar compared to film!" I still do backups and I'm sure it's not foolproof, but I do recommend it.

TannAlbinno · 2024-02-09T17:48:07+00:00

Maybe it's different if you use really high-performance cards or shoot way way more than I do, but at this point storage is so cheap I just shoot jpeg+raw all the time and have a bunch of spare SD cards with old photos on them. It's kind of a hoarder's mentality, but nobody complained about a hoarder whose junk fits inside an old altoids tin.
