Using no letter twice, I just saw "Catastrophe" which seems like a great cat name, because it starts with Cat. This is a great game, but some of the letters are small. Someone do better!

Robot Made of Meat posted:I definitely saw "A pot head" there. Took me a while to figure out it was "Apothecary." My first take was that too but I figured leaving out the "A" was a better name. I had to search through the other leters in the pic to find a "d" and thats what started me off on my journey! It's like scrabble or boggle or those picture games, but for cat names with the letters in the picture!

Renegret posted:hot dang -7.0 reporting in with a slight astigmatism to boot, been this bad pretty much my whole life. it suuuuuuuuuux literally can barely do anything without contacts, glasses are too heavy to wear for very long without getting a headache and are basically just used for "get to the bathroom to put contacts in" On the flip side at least I live in an era where contacts exist, so thats good. My vision is almost normal! (I can't stand the contacts with the bumpy weight in them that fix the astigmatism so i think thats why i see lights and lit up signs and some things kinda double and a little blurry and just deal with it, still way better then the blindness of no contacts)

Well, maybe the technology has improved (it probably has) but when I got checked years ago for lasik I was told I wasn't a candidate because there wasn't enough eye meat or whatever in some places for them to carve up with the laser and work with. It was pretty expensive then too, but maybe it has gotten cheaper?

3 grand is a ton of contacts, but the convienience sure would be nice! There is also the chance of your eyes getting worse, and still having to just wear a lesser prescription down the road. Oh and I guess a point of reference as far as contact talk goes for people going "huh?"- Near sided (when you can't see far away, or in my case bad enough that "far away" is more then a few inches) prescriptions go in -0.25 increments from -0.25 (not bad) up to I think -10 (super super bad). Most models of most brands don't go past that so I guess you would have to get custom made after that? Maybe some models go higher? Most peoples prescriptions is around -1.0 or -2.0 or less. If I remember right it is measured in magnitudes so going up (more negative) is exponential. Lots of optometrists don't carry much in stock past around -5. Whenever I ordered from the optometrist I would tell the person at the fron desk "I need to order some -7.0" and they would say "You mean -0.75?" and I would say "no, -7.0" and they would give some sort of suprised look and tell me they would have to order them. Also last time I just ordered online from lens.com and it was like half price of anywhere else for my normal brand. I was nervous because they were so much cheaper but no problems other then shipping was a little slow. Sorry for my long boring post, but I'm bored and felt like typing. If anything the lens.com tip is good I hope!

Renegret posted:That was not boring it was very educational. I just got my first pair of glasses about a month and a half ago and I had no idea what they were talking about with this -.75 stuff. Thats a pretty good point. I haven't had that happen, but having sudden contact trouble while driving is pretty scary. And yeah I wasn't eligible years ago but maybe they have figured out how to do it now? The price is still an issue though, especially with some pretty necessary big purchases comming up for me that I also can't really afford. alnilam posted:Yeah "normies" don't really understand this, glasses are a pretty unpleasant option for those of us with crazy bad vision. They're heavy and more importantly the lensing makes your peripheral vision all distorted so it's even kinda disorienting. You can get used to it but even then it's kinda annoying, makes you feel kinda funny and makes you have to turn your head more to look at stuff I can relate to all of this. Even with titanium frames, lightweight super ground lenses, and having the lens edges laser cut down or something, glasses are still super uncomfortable and things like "looking left or right with your eyes more then a little bit" isn't really in the cards. I'm pretty used to the peripheral distortion though since my eyes have been garbage pretty much my whole life, even though it was untreated until I got to school. I was one of those "can't read the blackboard from the front row, even though I know how to read" stories. If it wasn't for modern optics though, I don't think I would have been able to hold any of the jobs I have ever had, so yeah, hooray for contacts!

alnilam posted:Good for you, I'd be legally blind and probably dead from a magoo scenario gone wrong, i can't even see if a car is coming to cross the street Yeah your prescription is pretty close to mine. "Just using your eyes" isn't a thing we can do. Like I can't really walk around safely unless I am in a familiar place like in my house where I know where things are, and even then I can run in to things. "Who left that chair pulled out dammit?" The best way to describe it I think is that I pretty much just see a blur of colors, and can sometimes make things out when I already know what it is. "Thats the television because thats where the television always is." "What is on?" "Uh, sounds like baseball?"

Bad Eye Chat - doing things by feel a bunch and leaving things in specific places so you can function. Like I am sure lots of people do this stuff but it is probably because of habit not necessity. - Put the remote in the "remote spot" and can turn the TV off or change the volume after just waking up. Using the channel guide to pick a different channel? No chance! - Get drunk or whatever, go to bed, wake up, and reach for where you normally place your glasses that aren't there, then you panic and just stumble into the bathroom to put your contacts in via muscle memory so you can find your glasses, or have to ask for help finding glasses. - The shampoo goes on the left and the conditioner goes on the right. *Goes to take a shower and first thing dumps a bunch of conditioner on head and doesn't realize it until it obviously doesn't feel like shampoo in your hair* *sighs, someone moved my shampoo and conditioner to different spots again* The last couple doesn't happen a bunch but it does make me appreciate the shampoo and conditioner bottles that are different colors, or where one is upside down from the other. I'm not even that old, just unlucky and my body is conspiring against me!

mrbradlymrmartin posted:yeah more often in the winter, def Ah, hmm, opposite where I am now I meant, where winter is pretty mild, and summer is basically one of the worst circles of hell and we already hit the 90's a month ago and the 100s are maybe this week or next and the 120s arent impossible this summer. The showers, shampoo, and all are basically mandantory on an "I went outside today" basis. At least if you want to be presentable around other people, which I'm down for. I do know the more you shampoo the more you have to keep doing it because your body compensates, but when it is super miserable out, there isn't much of a choice. Different hair types, climates, and habits are always wierd and interesting to me. I Was The Fury posted:I also have hair I believe you friend, no edits needed! Also eye chat - taking a shower with contacts in once again has left me with burning eyes and regret, but taking them out and putting them back in would have the same result so it is a lose lose scenario no matter what.

The oldest I have is late 1940's but all the original features were long gone so I had to recreate what I could. Not valuable, but a nice shape. I'm rabid about restoring rather than redecorating and that house can only be counted as redecorated now!

As much as I like cars/trucks/driving/etc, working on a vehicle is one of my least favorite things on this planet. If I had the money I would never do it, other then the quick and easy stuff. I would rather take a brutal asskicking then tackle an even semi difficult mechanic job, even with help. I wish you luck! Also I have a few problems with mine, who wants to come over later, I have beer and food and other cool stuff! lol

I've been busy throwing some cool parties and stuff, so just now catching up on byob, but about learning to drive manual transmission from a few pages ago: When I was a kid, I knew there was a basically zero chance of my parents or anyone getting me a car or whatever, so I started saving up for one when I was young. Like less then 10 years old young, saving birthday money, mowing lawns, doing some probably illegal child labor type stuff (nothing really bad, just, not entirely on the up and up). So before I even had my drivers license, I bought a little old toyota pickup for cheap. It wasn't pretty, but it ran well. Living in a pretty big city at the time, I went with my dad and bought it from some guy on the other side of town, like 30 or 40 miles away. Money was exchanged, title signed over, etc. Then my dad gets in his truck and says "see you at home" and drives off leaving me there. With no license, no insurance, and never having driven stick before in my life (though I understood the concept). Following me would have made sense, or getting someone else to bring it home, but nope! With well over 30 miles of rush hour city driving ahead of me, I stalled mid intersection a bunch and was pretty panicked, especially knowing if anything happened I was screwed not even being old enough to have a license and no insurance, which is also illegal here. I made it home okay, though I had some choice words for my dad when I got there, and my mom was pretty pissed at him too. But, I guess I learned to drive stick? In retrospect I think it is a pretty funny story, and my dad is actually a really cool guy, he usually never does crap like that.

I never expected anyone to do so, but the courtesy follow home would have been nice for both of us! Or at least not the follow up of "hell no you cant drive the truck you just bought with the money you saved up for years now! Thats illegal!" Like that one time was totally okay, tough love, but now that I want to go to the movies with my friends, nope! To be young again...
