+.75, but according to the doctor at USAF I have literally no depth perception. How I managed to go through life without getting run over by a train despite this is a mystery.

They also told one of my friends that he was completely red-green colorblind, which was news to him.

-6.5. Both eyes are the same at least, so I don't have to pay attention to which contact lens goes in which eye. Gonna spring for lasik or PRK or whatever next year. For you guys with natural 20/20, if I want to read a book without contacts/glasses, I have to hold it about 2 inches in front of my nose. That's where it's clear. The positive for this is if I'm working on something with a lot of detail (small soldering joint, etc) I can see it really well by looking under my glasses like bifocals. The downside is loving everything else.

I double-purchased contacts when I got out of the AF on my last prescription, and I've been pretty conservative on wearing them so I've managed to not have to go to the optometrist since 2011. Still have a couple of pairs of lenses left. My prescription hasn't changed since about 1999, so I'm probably ok.

i might have to watch it all again now gently caress it's a sick film

recommend me more badass crime/antihero/whatever films

In addition to Heat watch Thief, it's like the spiritual godfather to Heat (and then by default Collateral)...James Caan plays a high-stakes jewel thief out to get his after he's double-crossed, Michael Mann's first feature film and it is excellent.

Also Manhunter, the best Hannibal Lecter film, also directed by Michael Mann.

City of God is quite good, Brazilian take on the gangster story

Miller's Crossing is one of the best (and most underrated) gangster films ever, Coen Brothers deliver yet again.

Is Dad Chat the appropriate thread to talk about Interstellar? Because I came across something kinda cool the other day:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zg5QMysuSYg

Screwing around on the organ is probably one of the favorite memories I have of being around my mom playing piano/organ, she used to play at a church that wasn't our home parish that was fancier and had an actual pipe organ...there's something amazing about being 8 years old and being able to generate that much sound just from pushing a couple buttons.

I was just disappointed he didn't pull out literally all the stops, because that would've been perfect to describe Zimmer's score.

and yeah, Manhunter is Red Dragon as an actual rational person would see the overall situation as opposed to massive over-acted Hannibal worship

Considering one of the biggest complaints about the 6s is that touch ID unlocks the phone "too quickly" to read lock screen notifications (seriously, if you wake the phone by pressing the home button it will unlock almost instantly -- I'm adjusting to waking the phone with the wake button if I want to check notifications), I think it's pretty drat reliable.

Do the same thing.

Also typically just unlock the phone and drag notifications down from the top, but yeah, the fingerprint id is super quick.

Ask them if they'll write you a letter, at that point they'll either say yes, draft it for them, or gently caress off. Most of mine were written by the other person, but a couple have asked me to draft it for their signature. I prefer a wet signature personally, and I've usually asked for/drafted a letter for a specific purpose and a general one for possible future use.
