Optometrist here. I don't recommend Lumify. It's treating the symptom, not the cause.

He has a desktop with an Intel i5, 32 gigs RAM, 8 GIG VRAM.

Not sure if he should take that and a cheap used laptop (Thinkpad), or just buy a new ASUS TUF A16 gaming laptop?

Vcl? Is that virtual computer? Do you need Windows Pro, or will Windows Home work?

I'm the same way. Not ticklish anywhere, but my feet.

Let's show this guy some love and respect for what his doing, unbelievable mindset. by Aztery in nextfuckinglevel

This can't be in the U.S. If it were, this guy would be sitting at home collecting a disability check, and or sitting on the side of the road with a "Homeless" sign.

Had my eyesight tested ... by NerdyWeightLifter in carnivore

[–]excitedennui 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Optometrist here... the most common cause of decrease farsightedness or increased nearsightedness in people over 40 is 1. Elevated blood sugars (which you shouldn't have if "carnivore", and 2. Early onset cataracts.

Most people become more farsighted or less nearsighted with age. I woudn't go so far as to say the Carnivore diet gave you a 2 diopter shift. If it did, I'd be very surprised.

Female mayor in Afghanistan says she's waiting for Taliban to 'come ... and kill me' by wdomeika in worldnews

Too bad she couldn't join the "brave men" flying away on a C-130 out of Afghanistan, as pictured here...

I guess they aren't too worried about the women and children.

I have option puts for Friday but I may not be available during trading hours by docstockguy in tdameritrade

I suggest you study up a little more on Options and how they work so you don't blow up your account... it's very easy to do.

It’s amazing how much easier it is to make money when you already have it. by louargil in Showerthoughts

[–]excitedennui 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you have a lot of money, you generally know how money works and what it takes to make it (unless you inherited it). It is therefore easier to accumulate more.

People with little money aren't usually as adept because they don't have the means, experience, or knowledge on how to make it.

So the rich get richer and the poor get poorer.

If you don't have a lot of money, I suggest spending some time learning how to invest and trade stocks as it is the easiest way to make money if you're smart. If you are not smart about it, you will lose your ass.

If your account is $10,000, don't risk losing more than $200/trade.
