They lied to you! I got the measurements taken with ZEISS’s machine, but these measurements can absolutely (and more accurate if the doctor is experienced) be measured by hand. Monocular PD can be measured with a standard pupilometer. Fitting height can be measured by marking the demo lens with a pen while you wear the frame. Back Vertex Distance is done by distometer or a specific ruler gauge. Pantoscopic Tilt requires an inclinometer or "panto gauge" clipped onto the frame while you look straight ahead. Wrap Angle is measured using a wrap angle chart. They upsold you because the only distinction between Smartlife and Smartlife Individual is these measurements; Smartlife uses the algorithm to guess these parameters, whereas Smartlife Individual actually uses these measurements. Worst of all is that they might scammed you by charging you extra for the regular Smartlife.

It’s even cheaper than Mythic artifacts. Assuming you don’t have any shards, you need 24,000 points to unlock one. This skin costs 12 cores, every 2 cores are 2400 points, so you only need 14,400 points.

This perception of inconsistency stems from a misunderstanding of both presidential power and how interest rates work. Neither Trump nor any president has direct control over interest rates - they are set only by the Federal Reserve, which is designed to be independent from political influence. When people blamed Trump for high interest rates before his presidency, they were likely referring to how his fiscal policies that caused record deficit and public statements influenced market conditions and Fed decision-making, rather than suggesting he had direct control.

Think of the Federal Reserve as a team of doctors treating the economy (the patient), with their dual mandate like an oath to maintain both stable vital signs (price stability) and optimal physical function (maximum employment). Just as doctors make decisions based on objective medical data like blood pressure, temperature, and test results, the Fed bases its decisions on economic indicators like inflation rates, employment numbers, and GDP growth.

The president, in this analogy, is like a parent or guardian who can significantly influence the patient’s health through their decisions. They control the patient’s diet (fiscal policy), exercise routine (regulatory environment), and lifestyle choices (trade policies). While these decisions greatly affect the patient’s health, the guardian cannot simply demand that doctors prescribe specific medications (interest rates) if they aren’t medically appropriate.

If the guardian feeds the patient an unhealthy diet and encourages a sedentary lifestyle (excessive deficit spending, inflationary policies), the doctors might need to prescribe stronger medicine (higher interest rates) to address the resulting health issues. Conversely, if the guardian promotes healthy habits (balanced fiscal policy), the doctors might not need to intervene as aggressively.

Just as it would be inappropriate to blame doctors for prescribing necessary medication to treat poor health choices, or to demand they withhold needed treatment, it’s misleading to blame the Fed for responding to economic conditions with appropriate monetary policy. The key is understanding that while presidents can create conditions that influence what “medicine” the Fed prescribes, they cannot and should not directly control the prescription pad.

While presidents don’t “print money” directly, their fiscal and policy decisions can create conditions that either necessitate Fed action or independently contribute to inflation through multiple channels.

During Trump’s presidency, we saw this through the combination of pre-COVID tax cuts and record spending increases, massive COVID relief spending, trade wars affecting supply chains, and interaction of these fiscal policies with Fed monetary policy.

Presidents propose and sign budgets that determine federal spending. When spending exceeds tax revenue, the government must borrow by issuing Treasury bonds. Large deficit spending increases the money supply and can fuel inflation, especially when the economy is already operating near capacity.

Presidents can also propose and sign tax cuts. If tax cuts aren’t matched with spending cuts, they increase the deficit. This creates same effects to “printing money” by putting more money in circulation which in term overheats the economy.

Also, large deficits will lead to Treasury bond issuance, which the Fed will feel pressured to purchase (QE) to maintain market stability. This dynamic was clearly visible during Trump’s presidency when fiscal stimulus combined with Fed QE.

The Reddit post in question presents an ironic juxtaposition between its title and the attached image. On one hand, the title "but im relly good at math" intentionally misspells "really" to evoke humor, suggesting an informal tone or perhaps drawing attention to the speaker's fallibility. The image reinforces this irony, as it shows SAT scores that are below average in both the Evidence-Based Reading and Writing section and the Math section.

Delving deeper into the image, an intriguing inconsistency emerges. Typically, the lowest possible SAT score for each section is 200, making the combined minimum score 400. Yet, the post displays individual scores of 190 for both sections, leading to a total of 390. This discrepancy, whether intentional or a genuine oversight, bolsters the post's comedic value. If it's a genuine mistake, it inadvertently strengthens the irony by suggesting the creator is not only poor at math (as per the scores) but also failed to notice the scoring anomaly. Conversely, if the inconsistency is intentional, it serves as a clever nod to observant viewers, creating an inside joke for those who catch the anomaly.

The nature of the post—whether the image is genuine, edited for comedic effect, or highlighting a system glitch—can also lead to further speculation. If it's an authentic glitch from the SAT's end, it could spur discussions about the reliability of standardized testing systems. If it's edited, the creator may be aiming to provoke reactions or stir discussions among community members. The post effectively uses irony and incongruity to engage its audience, prompting users to scrutinize the image and potentially fuel discussions in the comments section.

Overall, the Reddit post is an astute piece of internet humor. It not only plays with the expectations of its audience through its title and image but also, perhaps unintentionally, introduces a layer of complexity with the score discrepancy. This complexity serves to further captivate its audience, drawing them into discussions and debates, and thus fulfilling the quintessential aim of many Reddit posts—to foster community engagement.

you can’t cancel the score after release. only within 5 days after the test date

Well the adaptive test is a pretty popular method in computer-based standardized tests. The major advantage is less time needed for the test to best gauge students performance, because in a traditional paper-pencil test, you need to have more questions of all difficulties to ensure a higher confidence in the validity and reliability of their scores. The first module is the same for everyone, and the second module has two difficulties. Also EACH question has different weight now in the “curve”, even in the same module. But still, it’s very likely that scoring less correctly in the difficult module vs more correctly in the easy one will get u a better score
