  • Ill fitted or cheap glasses will exacerbate the issue, of course no doctor will say they are part of this group, but perfectly fit glasses have a small chance of not adding to the natural issue, but with how varied everything is. To get perfect glasses and to not lose/damage them to not need replacement is a very small minority.

  • The link buddy shared above that started this entire discussion says lasik is a solution to presbyopia….

    If you are an older adult considering LASIK, you might choose to have monovision to maintain your ability to see objects close up. With monovision, one eye is corrected for distant vision, and the other eye is corrected for near vision. Not everyone is able to adjust to or tolerate monovision. It's best to do a trial with contact lenses before having a permanent surgical procedure.

    Why are you saying the exact opposite of what was linked? Got a source to back this claim up?

  • I love people with kids who are oblivious they're shitty parents.
  • Glasses are a tool to help you see, your vision can’t get better on its own, there’s no downside to wearing them all the time, but your doctor clearly didn’t understand the question or you didn’t word it correctly. Your vision will deteriorate more, that’s a fact of life.

  • The link literally states you can get it later in life

    So the link buddy provided quite literally says your statement is factually incorrect. This is under the section for over 40 and that decease, maybe read the link like buddy said I should lmfao.

  • I love people with kids who are oblivious they're shitty parents.
  • From your own link?

    LASIK eye surgery may mean no more corrective lenses. But it's not right for everybody. Learn whether you're a good candidate and what to consider as you weigh your decision.

    And maybe read the information on the over 40, it says laser is a solution to that, it says nothing about it still happening with laser, I think you are conflating issues.

  • I love people with kids who are oblivious they're shitty parents.
  • In October 2009, the FDA, the National Eye Institute (NEI), and the Department of Defense (DoD) launched the LASIK Quality of Life Collaboration Project (LQOLCP) to better understand the potential risk of severe problems that can result from LASIK. The project's goal was to develop a tool for determining the percent of patients who develop difficulties performing usual activities following LASIK, and to identify predictors for those patients.

    The technology is leaps and bounds better than it was 15 years ago, got anything modern?

    And the risk of your eyes getting worse with glasses and contacts is worse than that, your eyes can’t get better without mechanical intervention, and glasses WILL deteriorate your vision further. It’s 100% with glasses and contacts.

  • I love people with kids who are oblivious they're shitty parents.
  • The same can be said for glasses and contacts too. So you have a pay once and done, or a pay forever with the same potential issues. Very few people’s vision ever get better from continual glass contact use, but it can get better permanently from lasik.

  • I love people with kids who are oblivious they're shitty parents.
  • Every procedure has that risk, even a routine vaccination or stitches, strange reason to pay for glasses and contacts forever.

    There are people who legitimately can’t get the surgery, but that’s obviously not who’s being discussed here.

    What’s the ratio on people being worse of for vision after? Cant make a claim like that and not provide some data.

    Glasses and contacts also don’t fix the issue and can lead to worse vision too, so arguably that’s non-factor in a discussion like this anyways.

    LASIK is the only chance to have a permanent fix. It’s a very important factor to consider, above and beyond the complications, that are also applicable to the glasses and contacts. I’ve not heard of many people’s vision getting better by their continual use.

  • Total frost free growth 96 days, June 17-Sept 21 RIP
  • Haha, there’s usually some pent up winter blues, so there’s no issues there. I’ve got almost 6 weeks I can work outside before I can plant veggies, but priorities frost, heat and critter protection was low on the list. After that, my dog passed and we decided to change the plan for under the deck and make it a dog run, so that became the priority and by the time that was done my hands were too sore to and I’ve got a puppy to bond and train anyways.

    The frost protection should allow me to take advantage of that 6 weeks outside though, and I’m also planning on a greenhouse and/or a cold frame for next year. Christmas gifts maybe :D

  • Eternal fire
  • I had one that took a few minutes to preheat, and others that you just toss the stuff in.

    But yeah, it’s a marginal time with that one I would just start it and than go grab what I want to cook and it’ll be ready by then usually.

  • Eternal fire
  • It’s more like adding a leaf blower to it, but yeah it’s just a glorified convection oven.

    Lots of modern ovens come with the feature, but you can’t just air fry in any old convection oven.

  • A friend of mine shared this receipt from her local library which shows how much money she's saved by using it.
  • A more realistic metric would be used books (also reflects the quality of all but brand new fresh books which are a rarity obviously), but you can’t quantify that price, so yes using new is disingenuous, but go off on a rant I guess? I think it’s a great idea, but let’s not kid ourselves that people would actually be spending that amount on books. It’s great for a feel good story though, I’ll give you that.

  • Some pictures of a few different frost damaged plants from my garden.

    Post image is spaghetti squash

    This tomato held up surprisingly well.

    Marigolds

    Another angle of spaghetti squash and watermelon I think.

    How to determine when gourds (spagetthi squash) is ripe.

    I assume the best way is to go off of date on the packaging for maturity days, but with the weather here it’s kinda hard to determine, they were stunted for a few weeks before even doing anything.

    Could frost here anytime and covering these isn’t really an option! Any advice would be appreciated!

    Was having some nutrient issues from switching lines and adjusting to it, but things have settled and taken off now!

    Who doesn't love a good scrog?

    I let the plant go for about 2 week, than top it and start spreading it out. I try to keep the plant short and under 8” tall during veg.

    After the topping I’ll let it go a week or two to fill out before flipping. This time was 2 weeks, still a few days to go, flipping on Saturday to 12/12 from 24/0.

    After stalling FOREVER, my gourds have finally took off and broke "containment".

    They got a little stunted from some mid June frost and some heatwaves, but mid July they finally started to get moving. I honestly thought they were goners, but they just needed the right weather.
