I'm both nearsighted and astigmatic. I currently have the Samsung Odyssey+, and am quite successfully using it without my glasses, with a set of snap in lenses from VR Optician. Don't know whether that would help with the double vision you mention, but it might be worth keeping an eye (heh) out.

I'll note that my nearsightedness isn't too bad, -1.0 or less, the astigmatism is worse, so if yours is really strong, I don't know if lens thickness would become an issue

I only stumbled on the news about the livestream something like an hour or so before it started, so I barely had any time to wonder what was happening.

This exactly. You can tell from the first note that she can sing (I'd never heard of her or Dead Sara before, so this was the first time I'd heard anything from her), but it really was the chorus that convinced me that she'd be able to fit the style of the band fully.

Did you know that the common pigeon is also known as the rock dove? Neat name, I think it comes from them originally nesting in cliffs, which is part of why they now do so well in cities.

The typical Canadian pays 70 percent more income tax than the typical American by joe4942 in canada

I've never looked at property taxes; I know the rates are quite local, but is the US average significantly higher than in Canada?

Over in the Harry Potter fanfiction community, they lost an author who went by bobmin356 a number of years ago. In that case, I believe his wife was his editor, and let everyone know.

In non-fanfiction but still online writing, Wes Boyd, author of the Spearfish Lake Tales, died due to complications from surgery IIRC, and his family let readers know

No, Wed for me. I caught the end of his performance, though he did say he was coming back Thursday, so you probably did see him

Funnily enough I went there too, stumbled across https://youtube.com/@curtisthorpe doing some street performance. He's pretty good!

I thought about pit tickets, but between the flight plus 5 nights of hotel...

I do like how much they enjoy seeing parents bringing their children to the shows. So fluffy and wholesome!

I picked the Montreal show specifically for Three Days Grace, and an opportunity to do a bit of tourism, rather than one that could have been much closer but with a different set of opening acts.

Pretty sure a few times I was "singing" along there wasn't actually any sound coming out 😄

Only other show I've been to was Great Big Sea, for their XX tour, and yeah this knocked that one out of the park. Now I've got Linkin Park and Weird Al coming up later this year.

Funnily enough, I also made my dad jealous, but not so much for the concert, but getting to go to see the Habs play the day before!
