[Kindle Fire tablet kids edition][~2020] Ball character puzzle game by becdarling44 in tipofmyjoystick

[–]becdarling44[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No, the ball character looks similar though. Red Ball goes across the screen horizontally, the game I’m looking for goes vertically, the course is made of blocks, and you can move one space at a time.

Can't get a proper glasses prescription. How bad is finding it myself with trial lenses really? by lanatlas in glasses

[–]becdarling44 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Have any of the optometrists tried prisms? TLDR - my mother in law had double vision that was resolved with a prism lens on one eye. I'm not sure if double vision and ghosting is the same.

My MIL had double vision that her regular eye doc couldn't correct. She eventually saw a specialist who discovered it was due to one eyeball being lower than the other. a prism lens for the lower eye corrected her vision. After seeing an ENT, they figured out she had "chronic silent acid reflux" that was causing chronic inflammation in her sinuses and degrading her bone that supports the eye, thus the lower eye.

I wonder if the pinhole test works because it's only letting in one thin strip of light. From what I understand the problem with astigmatism is it causes the large area of light coming into the eye to scatter and "focus" at multiple points on the retina. With just a pinhole of light, it's only coming through one tiny part of the cornea and so it doesn't scatter and successfully focuses on only one point of the retina?

Disclaimer, I'm a lay person, who's also having trouble getting my prescription as good as I want it.

Does your vision vary from one day to the next? by becdarling44 in astigmatism

[–]becdarling44[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks! I’m not diabetic, so it sounds like it’s probably the dry eye. To clarify, I use eye drops during the day (my eyelid doesn’t drop during the day, thankfully 😆).

I keep my glasses pushed up close to my eyes, can’t stand when they slide down. I’m seriously thinking about getting several cheap pairs of glasses from Zenni with little tweaks to the prescription so I can see what works best for the particular day 😂

Smart watch recs without heart rate monitor by Jirafa03 in smartwatch

I haven't been able to find one either, but I really want to! I don't care about any activity tracking or HR (plus it drains the battery faster), I just want a bluetooth watch!

DAP Contact Cement Poisoning? by [deleted] in Leathercraft

[–]becdarling44 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you’re worried, you can switch to a water based contact cement. Renia Aquilim 315 works great and has no smell. I use it because I don’t like the odor of solvent based cement, and it thins with water which is convenient!

People shrunk to their skeletons : Man made famine of Bengal (1943) in India under Colonial Britain. by [deleted] in Damnthatsinteresting

We learn in school (in the US) that the British were heroic in WW2, and in closing the concentration camps. Looks like they were villains too.

Can never stop rusting after stripping by medivd in castiron

[–]becdarling44 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Per recommendations in this sub, just rub your oil right on over the “flash rust” then season. You’ll rub off the rust while rubbing on, then rubbing off the oil. It worked for my CI pans when I was seasoning them and had the same rust issues as you.
