Sieg posted:Oakley uses single layer lenses, and say they polarize at the molecular level. I have no idea how that works. So no, it can't scratch off if they are genuine Oakleys. I bought them at a Marine Corps Exchange two or three years ago, so I don't remember if they were indeed polarized. I guess that's what I get, oh well.

If they are genuine Oakleys, they will say "Polarized" in the lower corner of the lens.  Are you still in the Marine Corp even as reserve? If so, get some real polarized Oakleys cheap: https://www.oakleysi.com/Page.cfm?id=1

The polarized oakleys are a bit more expensive than not. I bought a couple of lenses recently: $80-something for non and $170 or so for polarized. But the instructions I got for treatment suggests that the polarization they use is susceptible to wearing off if not taken care of.

Moving away from sunglasses, is there something that will let me plug in a start and destination, then find a point some amount of time from the beginning? For example, if I wanted to drive from Chicago to LA and stop overnight after 8 hours of driving, I'd want to know about where I could expect to stop.

Price isn't really an issue but I'd like to invest on something I can at least wear more than a few times, which you can't do with a cowboy boot. I'm not even sure I can pull off cowboy boots to begin with, costume party or not. The guys from Hell On Wheels and Deadwood don't seem to be wearing boots... or are the cuffs of their trousers just covering the entire upper half?

You can do it manually on Google Maps by finding directions Chicago-LA, then adding a middle destination, and dragging the middle destination about until it shows ~8 hours for the first leg.

While sleeping, I breathe through my nose. Today, I had a sinus/nasal operation done that has me needing to breathe out of my mouth perpetually for the next few days, as my nose is all blocked full of blood & tissue. So-- my issue is that when I've tried to fall asleep, I nearly immediately wake up as my body reverts to breathing through my obstructed nose, and failing. Is there any way to 'force' my body into breathing via my mouth as opposed to my nose, once asleep? Or any kinds of tricks/techniques? There's lots of info online about going the other way, starting as a mouthbreather and transitioning to nose, but not so much here.

I'm not even sure I can pull off cowboy boots to begin with, costume party or not. I think cowboy boots look quite nice under jeans or any pants, really. I'm a girl but my cowboy boots are my main dress-up shoe when I'm wearing long pants. The square-toed cowboy boots look really nice and you can't tell they're cowboy boots unless you hike your pants up. You can get all sorts of styles with different stitching, etc. I see a lot of hipster girls and "urban cowboy" types wearing their jeans tucked into their boots. That looks stupid and isn't really how they're supposed to be worn, it's just a fashion thing. You know you can get boot-cut jeans that are slightly flared at the bottom? It's because jeans go over boots. Boots don't go over jeans.

Incidentally, the hotels in Seward, Nebraska, north from exit 379 on I-80, are where you'd want to go for 8 hours drive out of the center of Chicago to stay the night. It happens to be about 7:55 out of Chicago and the next town over with hotels would on an additional half an hour.

(Also, Chicago to LA was hypothetical.) Edit: Ok, if I click the + icon below my destination, I can click on the map to add a new one, then drag it above my final destination, and then view the step-by-step directions to get the time from start to a given point. It still seems like there should be an easier way (not even necessarily using Google Maps). hooah fucked around with this message at 02:54 on Nov 15, 2013 |

Maybe it's because I live in OK but there are plenty of non-cowboy non-hipster people with cowboy boots. I would but I just don't like the way they feel with the pointed toe (haven't tried since I was in like elementary school but I hated it back then) My electrical hazard rated full height wolverine wellingtons are the most comfortable things on earth. When people visit work from our India office a few have bought cowboy boots 1st thing. Vin BioEthanol fucked around with this message at 03:02 on Nov 15, 2013 |

While some of them definitely say that, none of the semi-frame Oakleys that I've ever seen have any sort of writing on the lenses. I've got an older semi-framed SI ballistic pair, and the sunglass lenses are polarized (and say nothing) but the persimmon (awesome for low light in the brush), yellow, and clear lenses are not.

I'm fond of a remix of the song "Paparazzi" that has a rap interlude in the latter part. I have no idea what the remix is called. Can any of you help (or even better, give me a Youtube link)? I have no copies of this song to clarify anything. I went through a couple of dozen obvious Youtube videos without finding it. Edit: I do remember that it starts off pretty abruptly, and is fairly high tempo. Punchy, not syrupy. Mariposa fucked around with this message at 03:25 on Nov 15, 2013 |

On the right side of the new Google Maps under Help and Feedback, click 'Return to classic Google Maps'. Motronic posted:They are Oakley SI series then. I don't think any of them aren't polarized. That's simply not the case, you can get plenty of Oakley SIs non-polarized. They have a separate section for the polarized versions. I've never had any semi-frames, so that's my bad on that. I have a couple of pairs of Oakleys, and they all have it. Its easy enough to tell if they are polarized as someone pointed out earlier. If hooah wants to know if they are real, Oakley customer service can tell him that pretty quickly.

My landlord put one of those 2000 Flushes things in my toilet the other day and at first it was super blue, but after only about a day or so it's pretty much just clear again. I don't really care except that I want to make sure people who come over remember to close the lid so that our cats don't end up drinking out of the toilet, especially now that there's bleach in it. Anyone know why it isn't turning blue anymore?

Omaha -- the western edge of Omaha is 7:50 away from Chicago. If you need any food suggestions for when your stopover, let me know. Godfather's is a local / regional chain that has amazing pizza -- thin crust / black olive / onion is my recommendation. Runza if you want fast food -- you don't have them in Chicago and they're pretty good! Get an original Runza combo, not the cheese runza.

Wait a couple hours and flush, it'll be blue again.

How do you find out how much money people with your job title make? It's impossible to find the right place for this because of crappy pages that use SEO. I saw an IRS or census database for this but I can't figure out where it is now.

I saw an IRS or census database for this but I can't figure out where it is now. http://www.flcdatacenter.com/ This is what USCIS and immigration attorneys use to find the government determined 'prevailing wage' for any given job (per its OES/SOC code)in every county and state in the United States. Use the search wizard and find your state / county, and then search for your job or a closely related job. Once you find the right job, determine your wage level per page 7 of this PDF: http://www.flcdatacenter.com/download/NPWHC_Guidance_Revised_11_2009.pdf. Essentially level 1 is entry, level 2 is experienced but non supervisory, level 3 is supervisory and level 4 is master / attending / whatever the top rank of your field is. E: Fb

One occasional reccurring Loony Tunes segment was about a fox and a guard dog who would punch their time clock at the beginning of the day and then try to steal / defend a chicken coop, then at the end of the day they would punch out and go back to being friends. Does this segment have a name? I can't find any on youtube with any combination of loony tunes / warner bros / fox / guard dog / chicken. Just Foghorn Leghorn stuff which this emphatically wasn't.
