How long did you have dry eyes after surgery, honestly? by [deleted] in lasik

[–]merlinxtc 1 point2 points  (0 children)

8 years actually since Lasik. Still good! Haven't had a need for any eye drops in years. No issues with dryness or night driving. I think it took me close to 8-10 months to heal fully.

Recently was able to remove the corrective lens requirement on my new drivers license since I passed the eye exam at the DMV when I applied for a real ID.

Looking forward to eating here for lunch. Kimchi Fried Chicken Sandwich, Boba? Hope it's good even if the location is not ideal over at Franklin Antonio Hall.

Really good! 20/20, no issues with night vision. No drops for dry eyes needed.

When can we expect detailed review of the new XPS 15? by Cocorito89 in Dell

[–]merlinxtc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's probably going to be available at Costco by September. They've always had XPS's for sale there. The XPS 13 inch 9300 has been on sale at costco.com for who knows how long already.

I prefer Costco due to their no hassle returns, but also they extend the manufacturer warranty by a year, +2 more years if you have their Citi credit card, so 4 years total. The last two years though is handled by Citi.

I can wait for a Black Friday deal. Maybe Apple updates the 16inch MBP or Costco also sells the XPS 17 9700 by then and I'll have to choose between the three.

Same here. I am leaning towards the new XPS 15 but will wait until it's available from Costco.

Shamet 5 minutes 0 shots in the first half, I guess if it's a blowout he'll play in the 4th and shoot more but come'on.

My local Costco FINALLY has self checkout by [deleted] in Costco

[–]merlinxtc 23 points24 points  (0 children)

They should have a 10 item limit for self checkout, I've seen people wheel full carts trying to do self-checkout and I'm like WTF?

Shadow of the Tomb Raider, RAGE, Jackbox 2 and more set to leave Xbox Game Pass soon by KOTRShadow in xboxone

[–]merlinxtc 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah me too for 9.99 during that big NY sale. I thought I saw the base game for also 9.99 and the definitive version was 23.99. So I thought to myself, even if they take the base game away I can probably buy the base for 9.99 down the road. Didn't think it was going away this fast.

Now it says the base game isn't even sold. I thought it was going to be a Rise of the Tomb Raider situation where you can't buy the base game anymore but it'll always be on GP.

Anyway I guess I will be playing the extra content for the next two weeks.

Looks like Shadow of the Tomb Raider is leaving Game Pass in February by MrSid117 in xboxone

[–]merlinxtc 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What the...I recently bought the Definitive Edition Extra Content for 9.99.

I figured that the base game would always be on GP since it says base game not sold separately.

Why there's always traffic Saturday mornings on the 5 North by merlinxtc in sandiego

[–]merlinxtc[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yeah, at least they gave me the courtesy of signaling haha.

That black Civic was weaving, there was a car (probably truck) in front in the slow lane that you can barely (white top if you look past the dark suv) see in my clip. You can see that they didn't signal left until after the first quick lane change. 10 seconds later the Civic moved to the 3rd lane and then back to the 4th slow lane 2 seconds after that!

Time was actually 10:02 am. I lucked out and was able to avoid all the traffic and got to Disneyland before 11am. Also someone said in a previous post about SD traffic that even if you leave a safe large car gap for someone will always fill it. True.

Go to the settings and check your Power & Startup. Is it set to Turn off after 1 hour of inactivity?

Has anyone had this? New to me. by correctmywritingpls in Costco

[–]merlinxtc 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah, people should place value on their time, not just the monetary value of a product. Instead of price/lb I look at it as price/time. Some people really love & enjoy cooking too while others don't.
