- Comment on Autofocusing Smart Glasses With Eye Tracking Tech Could Make Bifocals Obsolete 5 days ago:
Yeah Amazon will figure out a way to enshittify them for sure. Most. Likely with a subscription program for what should be totally standalone.
- Comment on Autofocusing Smart Glasses With Eye Tracking Tech Could Make Bifocals Obsolete 5 days ago:
I have them. I also have a large monitor both at home and at work that the sweet spot for being able to focus is a narrow range toward the bottom. So I have a pair of single vision computer glasses that I either misplace or forget I’m still wearing when I leave the office to drive home. So I’m still constantly switching glasses. Yeah I know …. first world problems. I want my old eyes back. Getting old sucks.
I just want a technological fix for what my eyes used to be able to do on their own.

As a 55 man constantly switching glasses, taking them off, losing the “right” pair, etc. please please please …

If my math is right this would be worth about 9.8 million today if the shares were issued in 2004 ish.

- Comment on Cloudflare defies Italy’s Piracy Shield, won’t block websites on 1.1.1.1 DNS 6 days ago:
Blocking cloudflare is about as useful as a screen door on a submarine. Unless they start blocking IPs like the great firewall of china blocking any DNS is kinda pointless. Unless maybe if the domain’s primary name servers are cloudflare but I can’t seeing any site doing nefarious things using cloudflare. Run your own DNS resolver on a VPS somewhere besides Italy.
My worry is the internet starts getting terribly segmented and not interconnected. That would be more of an issue.

When you wake up in a pool of blood because your girl accidentally ran her toes down your leg in the middle of the night.
I put this in the same category as women who grow nails so long they can barely wipe their own ass.

Each i have seriously considered that.
- Comment on This EV Was Already Cheap, Then Dacia Knocked Off Nearly $6,000 1 week ago:
I would love this as a commute car (if it was available in the US). I do have to drive about 80km round trip but it’s only 2-3 times per week so it would be fine. The only caveat would be top speed which would be fine if it’s in the 100 kph range.

I see you are not hindered by the restrictions of logic.
- Comment on If you have an exceptional intelligence... You live in IDIOCRACY right now 1 week ago:
Yeah I don’t think comparison but what we have right now and Idiocracy is fair. However, I can completely see where we are now as leading to idiocracy. Making education harder and harder to get, anti-science, anti-intellectualism, pseudoscience, too much power and wealth concentration, etc. I totally think it could happen.
- Comment on I've never been in a situation where me having a gun would have made things bettter. 1 week ago:
You’re absolutely right. Owning the gun gives them the opportunity that wouldn’t exist as easily otherwise. And just for the record I’m not anti-gun.
- Comment on I've never been in a situation where me having a gun would have made things bettter. 1 week ago:
I think you missed the point. Not what percentage of gun deaths are suicides, but what percentage of suicides are gun related.
- Comment on What is with these videos where it's just someone reaction to shit someone else is doing? 2 weeks ago:
I get so irritated seeing that bottom panel of uselessness. And it’s always so exaggerated… first couple of times I thought it might be some commentary or a conversation. Now I wish there was a thumbs up, thumbs down, and punch in the face. I’d chose the later.
- Comment on Transcribed text of Samantha Fulnecky's assignment, paper, and professor's comments 3 weeks ago:
This paper was terrible. It’s full of sentence fragments, run‑ons, and generally inconsistent grammar and lots of repetition and weak structure. It relies almost entirely on vague Bible references without citing specific passages or any psychological research, despite making claims about youth mental health and gender. And besides the fact it doesn’t follow the assignment at all, it’s just horribly written.

Hell my wife takes hers off as soon as she gets home with this weird yoga magic trick thing where she never removes her shirt. I swear it breaks physics.
