Seriously. Interact with this idea a little bit and see if it stands up to logic.

In which world does 'those other assholes do it' count as an ethical defense?

That is essentially our story. 10 years chasing ever-increasing down payments, fighting people to be the first to an open house to offer over asking...

We got here to our piece of forest with just enough space to park our 5th wheel cleared, then slowly went from carrying buckets of water up from the creek to boil and use for cleaning and a little DIY battery pack, to now having a well and grid power.

I think by end of next year we will have achieved comfort parity from when we lived in the city. But with infinitely more freedom and attachment to the nature around us.

fingers crossed...

I didn't know Trident gum had erythritol...

We did this for the better part of five years. It is a bit more work on the days where you got to move the trailer. But I don't think I would have traded those experiences for any amount of comfort.

Now we just live in the forest...

I'll put up the usual - You don't know my needs. Don't yuck my yum. My truck is necessary.

You buy performance cars. I have a big stupid truck and blow every cent on motorcycles that will never see plates or insurance. We can be friends maybe.

And I'm an anarchist who couldn't give two shits about America. Or any state for that matter...

I'd bust out my copy of the Nuclear War Fun Book and start getting people together for some good ol' post-apocalyptic games.

 
 

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.

This mullein is now over 6 feet tall. It is my favorite wild plant by far.

The private servers have been up a while. But it is always hard for fan projects to gain traction for devs, players, or donations, when the IP could be yanked at any time. NCSoft granting a license should provide one heck of a shot in the arm for this cult classic game.

Go. Hunt. KILL Skul!
