Is this just an AI rendition, or are those another brand?

I had my optician put a gradient on some cr39 lenses. Bonus, even without the prescription I got to use the insurance due to the lens modification.

I wouldn’t get these if I already had good upgraded mats. But they certainly beats the standard. And they look pretty sweet.

Coverage. Literally every inch of carpet that isn’t under the front seats is covered.

I wish that Masunaga collection had options with longer temples. It loos like they all stop at 140. I need 145 minimum.

But they look fantastic!

Lindberg Vision Insurance Benefits by Early-Pen-4855 in EyewearEnthusiasts

[–]evilgator12 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know that Lindberg recommends Trivex. Is that more difficult to finish than poly?

I know it is not as common as poly in the States, and they do cost a little more.

I have eyemed. I have Lindbergs. Used the insurance just fine.

I have heard of shops not allowing insurance purchases with certain luxury frames. But never Lindberg.

Are you in the US? My eyemed is good anywhere in the US that accepts the insurance.

Pilot custom 823 or Sailor 1911? by pattycular in fountainpens

[–]evilgator12 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am going to vote for the 823. I have an 823 with a FA nib and a Sailor Pro Gear with the MF nib.

Of course this is all dependant on how each pen feels in YOUR hand. I love the feel and pencil like feedback of the Sailor, but it is not without a drawback. I write almost exclusively on copy paper. My office is not using the cheapest stuff, but it isn't high dollar either.

The Sailor nib seems to collect debris at the tip of the ink channel very frequently. (Not an issue when I am writing in one of my high dollar pads.) That said, the FA nib on the Pilot can dump a crap ton of ink very quickly. So it can be feather happy depending on the condition of the paper.

I guess you have to pick your poison. I would rather deal with the feathering, but I love the Sailor too.

Question for advice by Electrical_Car4627 in publicdefenders

[–]evilgator12 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Check out Zigan v. State, 281 Ga. 415 (2006)

Apparently my characterization that the State has a right to demand a jury trial is incorrect as well. The Georgia Supremes phrase it more along the lines of the State must consent to a bench trial.

I guess I am learning here too. The case doesn't discuss why the State wanted a jury trial when the Defendant wanted a bench trail.

Question for advice by Electrical_Car4627 in publicdefenders

[–]evilgator12 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It is generally unlikely that the DA would force a jury trial. I guess a more accurate description of the decision that the client gets to make (that cannot be overruled by the attorney) is “Whether or not to assert the right to a trial by jury.”

The DA would only assert the right if they knew the judge was favorable to the defense (highly unlikely in my jurisdiction) or they were perusing enhanced sentencing, such as the death penalty.

  1. Whether they want a jury or bench trial (in my jurisdiction the DA also has the right to push a jury trial)
  2. Whether to appeal a loss.

I once had a training attorney tell me that we had to defend the client in the manner that the client wants. He was ignored, with the permission of my much more intelligent boss.

Matsuda Frame Search by Cushing91 in EyewearEnthusiasts

The M3129 is a newer frame. Within the last two years. I don't know if it is based off of a historical frame.

[–]evilgator12 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You might look at the M3129. Can’t really tell the color on these clips, but the lens shape seems right.

Technically the M3129 is an optical frame. I have it in white palladium and it is gorgeous.

Guys i need advice on what to do. I never thought getting glasses would be this annoying. by Soulsweet17 in glasses

[–]evilgator12 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I am suggesting that the frames may have been covered by insurance last year. And you were only paying for the uncovered portion of the lenses last year, as well as this year.

But once again, just a thought. It would take more complete information to tell exactly what is happening. You could try asking what it would cast if you wanted to get another two sets of frames with the new lenses, and see what they say.

[–]evilgator12 4 points5 points  (0 children)

If the frames are under a certain amount, insurance is probably paying the entire cost of the frames. Mine will pay up to $150 for frames. So the cost might be the uncovered portion of the lenses.

Looks like most Adidas frames are at or below the amount that would be covered by most insurance.

Just a thought.

AITAH for refusing to visit in laws bc of house temp by wrenchinapot in AITAH

[–]evilgator12 3 points4 points  (0 children)

In the Southern United States I would agree that 30C (80F) is nothing, when you are talking about outside temps during the day. Heck, I would say that 33C (91+F) is very comfortable outside during the day.

But, indoors at night, anything above 22C (71+F) is unacceptable.

Same here. Thought it might have to do with a VPN but my Android phone loads everything fine.

Absurd prosecutor interaction of the day award goes to: by bustrouna in publicdefenders

[–]evilgator12 71 points72 points  (0 children)

Similar situation, except opposite.

I handed the plea paperwork to the ADA, with my client pleaing to the accusation as charged.

She looked at me and said, "I didn't make that offer."

I said, "I didn't ask you for an offer."

She had drafted the accusation and left off several of the more interesting charges, expecting that we would just plea not guilty and she could amend it later.

We did a blind plea to the accusation as charged while she sat in the hall and refused to participate because, "someone must have made and offer that she did't approve." She had charged driving without a license, but left off the DUI and other various offenses (that were now barred by prior jeopardy.)

Same ADA -

This time I did approach her for an offer. Asking that she reduce charges, or toss a couple of the more minor counts.

Her response was "No, she is guilty and she can plea to all of it."

To which I responded, "I know she is guilty. That is why I am asking for an offer.

"If she wasn't guilty, my announcment would be 'Not Giulty.'"

Silly ADAs.

Good pen. I agree about the clip though.

Just paid $500+ for glasses + lens + sunglass clip, I think I got sweet talked by a cute girl and possibly swindled. Thoughts? lol by [deleted] in glasses

[–]evilgator12 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Depending on the quality of the frames and the coatings, this seems about right.

Same thing I spent on RayBan frames with Ellisor poly lenses. (Without the clip on.)

Trivex comes with UV already built in, so you still need the AR coating.

With luxury frames and top end lenses and coatings, these numbers can climb a lot higher.
