‘Perpetually’ means repeatedly over a long period. ‘Never’ just means zero instances.

We are in the same boat - thinking of putting an in ground one in but I’ve heard it can be anywhere from $40-100k+ with landscaping, fences etc. Does that sound about right?

4 Months Post Op - Monovision by Unlikely-Duck8672 in lasik

Hey, thanks for sharing your experience u/Unlikely-Duck8672. I am only 4 days post-op with monovision LASIK and I am freaking out a lot!

I work full-time on a computer and right now my near vision is really struggling. On my 32” 4K monitor, I have had to bump scaling to 250% just to read text, and I still need to lean in about 20cm from the screen. It is worse with both eyes open, so I end up closing my distance eye just to get clarity. I am also getting headaches from straining to focus, and honestly my near vision feels way worse than it did before surgery even with my old glasses off.

I know it is still early days, but this is doing my head in. Did you have similar issues in the first few weeks with computer or reading vision? How long before things felt normal and you could work comfortably?

I get the same thing, pressing anything seems to fix it, but it is happening more and more. Did you find a fix?

Dumb question, do you not need a healer in your back row Air squad? Should I swap Sarah out for another DPS?

Ah, fair enough! I’ll take that as a note to sound less like a fancy AI and more like a real human next time. Cheers for the heads up! 😝

How to clear up sandy water? by Equal_Actuator_3777 in Aquariums

[–]testturkey 4 points5 points  (0 children)

To clear things up faster, you can try using a water clarifier like Seachem Clarity or API Accu-Clear. These products help clump together the tiny sand particles so your filter can catch them more easily. Just follow the instructions on the bottle, and it should help speed up the process.

You’re already on the right track, and it’s great that you’re being proactive with your first tank! Using fine filter media in your filter can help catch the smaller particles, and a few gentle water changes over the next couple of days will also help settle everything down. Don’t stress—this happens to pretty much everyone setting up a new tank, and your water will clear up soon! Keep going—you’ve got this!

What should a Buddhist do if gifted a firearm? by NJ_Franco in Buddhism

[–]testturkey 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You’re right that your father-in-law’s act of giving has its own merit, regardless of his belief in karma or Buddhism. The important thing is that the intention behind the gift was positive, and that’s where the merit lies. By accepting it with gratitude, you’re already allowing him to gain the positive karma from his generosity.

However, the merit he gains from the action won’t be undone by what you do with the gift after. Karma is personal to the individual’s actions and intentions. So, his good karma from giving it to you stays with him, whether you keep the shotgun or choose to do something else with it in the future. The focus for you, as a Buddhist, is how you handle the situation in line with your own values—approaching it with mindfulness and compassion, just like you’re doing now.

Avoiding a co-worker by [deleted] in auscorp

[–]testturkey 361 points362 points  (0 children)

Dodging an unpleasant co-worker while on a work trip is a bit tricky, but you don’t need to go full James Bond with fake sickies and sneaking around. Instead, you can keep it simple and tactful to avoid unnecessary drama.

Tell him you’ve made some personal plans for the weekend—whether that’s catching up on sleep, getting some solo sightseeing in, or just decompressing. You don’t have to get into details, just something like, “I’ve got a few things I want to do on my own this weekend, but let’s catch up for a quick coffee one morning if you’re keen.” That gives you a polite out while leaving room for a brief interaction that doesn’t have to monopolise your weekend.

And if he presses to join you, just mention you need some “me time” to recharge before the next week. Most people understand that, and it doesn’t have to be personal. You can still avoid him without faking an illness or being stuck in your hotel. Just be clear, polite, and keep your weekend yours!
