And we thought common sense was... common. Yet here you are proving that wrong with every new comment.

Funny how that works.

I have a leather bracelet that is a measuring tape when I remove it. Super handy.

It has gone out of whack by about a 16th of an inch over the last 5 years, but still very helpful for measurement that don't need a lot of accuracy.

I used to be a HEAVY pepsi drinker but as I got older thew sugar didn't agree with me so I replaced it with sparkling water. I was going through a sodastream cylinder every 3 to 4 days. Whereas this bad boy costs me 40 bucks, and I have a 40 dollar deposit that I'll probably never get back because I will always have a cylinder.

The savings are huge.

Just go to a welding gas store or resto supply store and get 'beer gas'. CO2 is CO2.

You can buy an adapter to connect the big cylinder directly to the sodastream. I have been using mine this way for 3 years. I pay about 40 bucks for a tank of CO2 that lasts ~5 months.

If I was a billionaire anyone suggesting a meeting would be fired out of a cannon.

These chuds sitting on enough wealth to buy an island and live out their lives in pure bliss still taking meetings just shows how terrible they are at making decisions.

You don't need to be on .world. Not every server treats their users like children.

I don't know about that. My wife is in her late 40s and grew up in AB. Her education was deplorable. She is a very smart person, but her early school years were basically useless.

Or the existence of said election at all...

I’ve been told violence isn’t the answer

By the very same people asking the question: What are you gonna do about it?

Where 'it' is your oppression.

Fun stuff.

So obviously I spent half an hour in a generative ai tool.

 
 

This doozy was shot just two days ago. I never thought I'd have a use for it on lemmy!

 

Location: Canada

Background: When I first started wearing glasses the optometrist would just give me a piece of paper that I could take to any shop to get my lenses made. Then they started refusing that paper and insisting I either leave my frames with them for two weeks, or that I buy new frames.

And now it seems like even asking for the script, or the measurements, is 'against policy'.


I recently went in for an eye exam and some new glasses, and the optician said something I have never been told before.

I had asked if they could give me the prescription for my sunglass lenses since they don't deal with the brand that I prefer, and he said that I would have to schedule another appointment at a shop that deals with that brand, because the prescription was not enough, and I would also need the measurements he took.

I asked if I could have those measurements and he said it was against policy.

Is he lying to try to get me to buy new frames from his shop? Or is there something to what he is saying?

Confession - When he walked away I took a picture of the measuring app he had used which seems to show all the measurements.

Would this be useful to another shop? I'm just trying to buy lenses without spending a fortune on yet another frame.

It all feels like a scam.

 

Bonus:

I'm not sure which I prefer.

 

There are four from the most recent batch. But they are never all in one spot. And the parents don't come around much during the summer.
