One of the best things I ever did. One of the crappy parts of being a camera operator with glasses was pushing my eye up against the viewfinder, which of course was solved with lasik. But then cameras changed and now we're all using the flip out screens, which sucks because I actually lost a couple inches of close-up focus when I got it, so everything has to be about a foot away to see perfectly. I was wondering if I'd regain it a little over time as the effects wear off but yeah it's been 10 years and distance vision is still perfect. I bought a wired microphone and a stand for work. Also a toy millennium falcon for my son for xmas that was 52% off, thereby justifying its purchase despite ny house having like six or seven Millennium Falcons in it.

Got a new headset since my old Microsoft Lifechat has been unusably battered for years now. A Roccat Elo.

One of the best things I ever did. Surprisingly I haven't done that yet but it's messing with my head that I should have glasses on and the weight of them I can feel missing. It's also tricking me into thinking I still need them cause I'm seeing perfectly fine without them

My initial consult had the optometrist suggest PRK surgery as my eyes were that bad (-11.5 on the "good" eye!). Second consult revealed LASIK could fix my eyes, which I preferred as PRK surgery has you out for almost a month while your eyes recover (compared to the day for LASIK).

Edit: just looked into it, seems they were approved in the US in 2018. Gonna schedule an appointment and see if they'll fix my eyeballs boz has a new favorite as of 09:00 on Oct 18, 2021 |

Glottis posted:drat bro. Did you get to not needing glasses at all? Yes. I'm completely corrective lenses-free. I was using contact lenses for about 10 years & they even had versions that could correct my astigmatism, but I figured not having to change them out daily would be nice. I urge anybody that's thinking about it to at least get a consult. Even with health insurance it's  but IMO it's worth every penny I spent.

I got a MacBook Air, my first laptop in roughly a decade. It’s nice having something with a proper operating system and keyboard that plays well with all my iCloud data. Laptops have gotten really nice since my HP was burning my lap in 2011.

MA-Horus posted:Got my eyes lasered 10 years ago, worth every penny. Got mine done around 10 years ago too, I think I was too young that one place wouldn't do it but another would. One eyes a tiny bit blurry, probably because I hadn't finished growing but they seem to have settled now, it's not bad enough to need glasses since the others perfect. 10/10 would recommend.

Also bought a case as well thanks to someone in the android thread pointing out that Spigen offers a free 30w charger with a case purchase I grabbed the tough armor case because I like the little stand it has on the case. https://www.spigen.com/collections/pixel-6

In case anyone is curious, we ordered our Moccamaster in turquoise, and were delighted to see upon arrival that it almost perfectly matches Kitchen Aid's aqua sky color. Cus like, if my mixer and coffee maker didn't quite match, that was going to be a problem. Next up, replacing my old department store soft side carry-on roller with a Pelican 1535 Air Travel case. I fly a lot and have more than once had to stand around in the rain a bit. My current bag has four wheels, and I'm not sure how I like going to just two, but I also don't want to spend Rimowa or Zero Haliburton money.

I rarely fly but I seem to remember there being some sort of weight limit on baggage is that case itself not 50 pounds? Because the giant pelican case I had was like 50 lbs.

The Air will be light enough as carry on. I strongly suggest that you upgrade the wheels to softer roller blade wheels as soon as you get it. The cheap hard plastic ones make a huge noise when rolling it around.

Case itself is 12 lbs. The only time that might be an issue for carry-on is some of those odd flights that impose a 7kg/~15lb limit on carry-ons, which is something I've only run into on smaller regional flights outside the US. I primarily fly American, who don't have a specific weight limit for carry-on baggage, and I think I get two free checked bags on any OneWorld flight anyway, should I run over a limit somewhere.

I waited for the longest time but getting AirPod Pros in July was a great decision. They Just Work which is important with BT devices, especially when you’re constantly connecting/disconnecting them.
