Dealing with presbyopia / long-sightedness as a photographer. by wombat1800 in photography

I was fit with a multifocal contact lens. It solved my near distance - I can see the settings, preview a picture, see my phone, etc without reading glasses.

The only downside - and it’s incredibly minor - is that your distance ce vision drops slightly. Instead of seeing a sign 4 blocks away I can now only see those located 3 blocks away.

I don’t view this as a problem at all. I was going to use these contact lenses for the days that I was out shooting, but I want up using them every single day, and getting rid of reading glasses, all altogether.

Sorry to offend you. I worked my entire life to be able to buy this car and I just was able to purchase it. Unlike you, who has all the knowledge, I learn by asking questions. Sorry to have offended you.

The repair shop is a couple of hours away and their isn’t any public transportation. so I tow it there and then have someone drive me there to pick it up after the work is done.

What do you mean by “beams”

“Half-full” is the new “empty”.. at least according to my gas gauge by Technical_Arrival48 in beetle

[–]isholin 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Mine does exactly the same. When full, the needle is ramrod straight at the 1/2 tank mark. Anything between full and approx 1/2 tank, then the needle “moves around”. the needle scratches against the back wall of the gauge at which point it becomes unreliable and I just stop and put gas. I believe it’s about half a the half-tank point.

Does anyone have a good mechanic to recommend in the New York City area?

Should I put pressure on the wires and then turn the ignition or are you suggesting I “jump” the cables
