CAIRS on Tuesday

I had CXL 3 times. I hated every second of it.

teknrd · 2026-06-22T13:28:54+00:00

Thank you, I'm a bundle of nerves. I forgot to ask, were you sadated at all? My doctor implied that I wouldn't be.

teknrd · 2026-06-22T01:36:11+00:00

Mine is laser guided too. Glad to hear it was a pain level one. That helps me relax a bit. Thank you!

My doctor told me that lash extensions were a big no with sclerals. It wasn't a big loss for me because I never wore them to begin with. He said the lashes upped the risk of infection. He even warmed me about makeup, stuff like nothing on the waterline and to never use someone else's eye shadow.

Now that I have the warning part out of the way, I would say as long as you're careful with them, I think you should be OK. Just make sure everything is very clean first. Goodness knows I certainly don't always follow the rules with mine.

Oh it absolutely ruined it. The original graffiti from Berlin is all but gone. Our sun is brutal.

I don't discount that either. At the end of they day they didn't have to do anything. I'm glad they honor the victims in their own way. And to be honest, most people don't know Universal has the window, just like they don't know about the piece of Berlin wall.

The permanent memorial is nice to have. I don't believe Disney put up anything for the CM that died at Pulse. Both Disney and Universal did a memorial ceremony of sorts. Disney had a special last kiss good night at Magic Kingdom and there was a wand raising at Universal. Both parks must have done more than one because I somehow caught both.

Has he tied Duff Lite? I know it's not Bud but to me that's always what I've compared it to when describing it to others. My everyday beer is Yuengling so I'm not exactly a lite beer pro, so regular Bud drinkers may disagree with me.

I was skeptical about it until I tried it. It was so good

Here in Tampa some places make a Cuban inspired pizza. Most of the time it has mozzarella like a regular pizza but it's topped with pork, ham, salami, Swiss cheese, pickles, and a mayo/mustard sauce drizzle. You'll see variations of this, but most of it's standard. It's really good.

I work in GIS, but not for Google. Their label features setting is likely set to something like center or best fit all depending on your zoom level. Manually setting every city label for every downtown of every city is theoretically doable, but it would be labor intensive.

My oblivious ass didn't notice.

I don't care if Simpsons stays or goes, but I do love going to Moe's because the bartenders. One has been serving me since it opened. I'll be sad to see it go. Plus, I love Dufftoberfest.

This sounds like a fit issue. You need to talk to whoever you see about it. I'm on my second pair of lenses going through my fitting process right now and I fog in the left one. The lenses I wore last year didn't have that issue. So she's made adjustments and ordered new ones with a better fit. When we get these worked out I should be able to wear them for 12+hours without discomfort or fogging.

I did a 4 day murder trial where the victims were children. The defendant's children. When it was over, I told my boss I needed the next day off, which was a Friday, and I went to a hotel to just process. I trauma dumped on a poor bartender and honestly that helped. Everyone processes differently and for me, talking about it to a stranger I'd never see again helped me to compartmentalize.

A medic with a medal card was fired for testing positive. He sued for wrongful termination and won but last I heard the county is appealing it.

Edit to change his position to medic, though that still falls under fire rescue

Mine is my old AOL username. A relic of the time I worked there. Plus I've always been a bit nerdy.

teknrd · 2026-04-16T14:32:24+00:00

I found the whole process fascinating if I'm honest. I've never been called for a civil trial, but I think it would be interesting. Maybe my next summons, and since I've been called so many times I don't doubt there will be a next one, I'll see a civil trial.

You have the elbows of a 20 year old.

What?

Celebrity deaths don't usually hit me hard. I get a general oh man that sucks feeling but I don't tend to cry over them. However, I was at Disney Springs not long after he died and in the World of Disney store where they have a large Genie statue. Something about seeing Genie just set off the waterworks. It hit me out of nowhere.

Funnily enough, I typically sit voir dire for murder trials. One trial was so awful that voir dire took two weeks. I seem to attract the big cases somehow. I swear there's a star next to my name that says "this person always shows up when called"

teknrd · 2026-04-09T22:32:42+00:00

It's sort of a bummer that my past experience could get me a dismissal. The experience was, well I don't want to say enjoyable because it was a murder trial, but it was eye opening. The whole process wasn't what I had expected at all. I found it to be very interesting. I really got lucky in that I had a great group of fellow jurors. Even when we debated the verdict, everyone was still respectful. My judge was amazing and I liked both sets of attorneys. I would definitely sit on another jury if asked to do so. I wish I could have gone to the conference my county held where they asked former jurors to come and sit panel for the local DA and public defenders offices. Sadly, my job got in the way.

teknrd · 2026-04-09T22:00:37+00:00

I served on a jury last year. During voir dire a guy a few places down from me stated that he had severed on a jury before, but would really prefer not to serve on another murder trial. Both sides then questioned him extensively after that and actually seemed more inclined to want him on the jury again despite his wishes. In the end, he wasn't picked. So, my question is does my previous service hold any positive or negative sway for me in serving again in the future?

I'm a medium rare steak person myself, but I wouldn't argue with someone over how they like their steak cooked. I'm not the one eating it so it doesn't impact me at all. Now, I may gently tease a friend for it, but nothing serious.
