This is from Durham NC, so the text is a silly "Durham" pun. And the local mascot is a bull, so a lot of Durham themed stuff features a bull
Forgive my very sleep deprived face and weird-ass glasses, I'm not normally awake during the day and the glasses help with my sleep disorder ๐
Feel free to post your voting pictures or "I voted" stickers in the comments; seeing them makes me happy!
I like how my 'I voted' sticker has a bull majestically sharting out the stars from the city flag.
Lmao, it's a tasteful detail to be sure ๐
Also hello, neighbor! ๐๐
Those glasses are actually pretty cool.
They're infield terminators with orange lenses
If you have insomnia (specially sleep onset insomnia where it's hard to get to sleep, not the kind where it's hard to stay asleep) or delayed sleep phase disorder (what I have) they can be helpful
They're not the specific glasses typically used on the studies (uvex skyper glasses made by honeywell), but those have a hard nose bridge which hurts my nose if I wear them for the durations the studies were on, and a guy did independent testing for a bunch of the blue light blocking glasses and found these did slightly better while being much more comfortable :)
If anyone has questions or would like me to grab the study or the webpage for the guy who did the testing lemme know and I can go find the links :)
Edit: I forgot to mention, a lot of people actually really like these (yellow tint glasses) because some feel they increase their contrast perception. So they're sometimes worn when motorcycling on a rainy day, or other times where more contrast might be helpful. For me it feels subtle, but my dad immediately commented on it when he tried them.
And match the red on the poster!
This is awesome and I'd post my sticker but misplaced it after voting last week.
No worries, congrats on voting ๐
Hope you have a good one!
placed it on the wrong thing, you know where it is, but if you try to move it, it won't be sticky anymore
Bull Durham is one of my favorite movies, and Iโve never seen a game there. Only ever saw them play the Tides in Norfolk.
I've never even heard of that movie; I didn't watch many growing up and am really enjoying getting around to all the classics, I'll have to make a note to watch it!
