What's a computer?

Choccy milk and cookies. It's been my weekend treat since I stopped drinking a few months ago. It feels childish but it makes me happy and keeps me off the booze, so I'll take it.

Displate. I buy one for each FF game I've beaten.

Thanks! I still have some work to do but it's coming along nicely.

A House-like TV show about troubleshooting computer issues would be absolutely fascinating to me and a dozen other people. All along you thought it must be drivers but it turns out that the exact RGB configuration used on the case fans combined with the anime waifu wallpaper caused a slight over-voltage on a RAM chip resulting in game crashes and only Hackerman was brilliant enough to see it.

I finally got a Plex client up and running on a raspberry pi for my CRT TV. So now I can watch all of my old movies and shows without swapping out a DVD when I'm comfy.

Yatta and the related flash animation comes to mind. There was a period in the mid 2000s where every anime con had a group of buff nearly naked guys wearing nothing but a leaf as tribute.

Yep you got it. So for people with only minimal vision issues it might not be worth it, but for those with severe vision problems it may be worth the risk even though their vision likely will degrade slowly back to their original prescription.

The sample size of that study was only ~300 people. A study with 20,000 participants in Singapore found that 90% of patients had 20/40 or higher vision after 10 years. It found that high-myopia (-14+)(the most extreme form of near sightedness) patients had a much higher rate of regression, with 39% of those patients losing 2 points or more from their vision within 10 years of tratment (and likely choosing to wear glasses [not listed in the study] or get retreatment [27%]).

So basically, if you have extreme vision problems before LASIK you're much more likely to have to wear glasses again down the road.

Also, worth pointing out that almost everyone will need reading glasses as they age regardless of LASIK. This conversation only surrounds glasses for near sightedness.

His eyebrows look so angry, and it's absolutely adorable

Two years, and I had to wear headgear. Not sure if that's still a thing, but it was a big metal contraption that went around your whole head. The pain was unbearable and I had no social life from how weird it looked.

That sounds absolutely amazing. Adding it to my reading list.
