Yeah, my wife got me something that claimed to auto focus. Was just a pair of progressive readers.

I can go buy readers when I don’t need them. I’ve been told that using a higher power than you need is bad for you as well. And you can buy glasses online with no script. So I don’t think that reason would be valid.
I hope you are right. But I don’t have a perscription. So I would need clear by default, and only autofocusing for reading. I shouldn’t need a script for that.
When I play a board game and need to read the cards I need glasses. But if I want to look at the player across the table I have to take them off. Squinting doesn’t seem to help.
Is that the same as Progressives? I have them. I hate the areas that don’t work on the sides. People get used to them I guess, but I don’t have to wear mine most of the time. And even if you are used to it, that means you have some distorted peripheral vision when you wear them.
I thought you got at least 2 years…
Sure, but I shouldn’t have to. Seems like more of a reason that requiring perscriptions isn’t really about anything but money.
Can’t you buy colored contacts with no correction? Seems like if you can do that, the issue with your ryes being unsuitable isn’t the reason.
Well, I have tried multiple sets of reading glasses at different magnification. They all work fine. So I don’t think it needs to be that exact to match the person. And I would think some sort of calibration, either by manual means or plugging them into a smartphone and using an app should cover that. I doubt it corrects for things like astigmatism that are more complex.
And prescriptions for glasses in general bug me. The only argument for requiring them and having them expire I have heard is that the wrong perscription could be dangerous while driving and such. But heck, we don’t make you retake the drivers test every 2 years, and people’s driving skills certainly decrease with age. So why prescriptions? Seems like another one of those good for business and not for people laws.

It probably only ends when one side achieves complete victory. The Israeli hardliners probably see it that way too. And they have decided to end it now.

Just that I can understand how they may feel. Just as I can understand how the other side feels and why they chuck bombs over the fence. In my mind, every death of a civilian to these kinds of activities is a failure of the leaderships involved.

I don’t really think the long history means as much other than an excuse to continue the indoctrination.
I mean if I grew up being told the neighbor was a dangeous crazy heathen that is hell bent on killing me. And that neighbor occasionally threw explosives over the fence. I would want them gone no matter if they had a good reason or what not.
Article is walled, so I couldn’t read it. But I bet the questions were setup to differentiate expelling them from killing them. So I can understand a lot of people wanting the Palestinians gone. That doesn’t mean the same number agree with what is being done to make it happen.

They are so desperate for someone to pay for crimes committed upon them and others, they will hate a rando because the news called him a businessman.

Right now I know that 11pm is late for anyone on thier own timezone. But with no timezone, I would say, the meeting is at 23:00.

So you day is my day minus half a morning?

Hm. Checking my glasses I think there is something on the top too. I can see distance ever so slightly clearer looking out the top. If I remember right, I have a minus .25 in one eye. Always been told it didn’t need correction, but maybe it is in this pair. I should go get some off the shelf progressive readers and try those.
