  • Progressive lenses are complete garbage! The fact that you need to wear them for several days for your eyes (and your brain) to adjust to them speaks volumes. Keep in mind you will also see very poorly for the first few days.

    I got some progressive lenses for my second ever pair of glasses. My first pair did not have bifocal lenses. I wore the progressive lens glasses for a few minutes in the store. Took them off, drove home, and tried to wear them at home. I hated them so much that I went back the same day and returned them. I have had lined bifocals ever since and have not regretted it one little bit.








  • While I will be the first person to admit that I don’t completely understand either, the concept is pretty simple.

    Think of a digital recording being something like sheet music. Sheet music is a set of instructions on how to play a song that anyone who knows how to read music can reproduce.

    Digital recordings work in a similar fashion. The playback device reads the instructions which include things like frequency and volume, and is able use that information to make a perfect playback of the digital recording.

    Could it be recreated by random chance? Sure. Would it? Probably not. At least not easily.






  • Wow! I’m not religious at all. So maybe I am just being an insensitive prick about this, but I really don’t care if someone wants their remains to be on the moon and I don’t care who it offends. It’s the moon.

    There is no way in hell I would stop and consider the feelings of any religious group about a planetary body that isn’t Earth.

    I also think that sending human remains to the moon is a complete waste of time, money, and resources. The only way a flight like this makes any sense is as a precursor to a manned mission.

    Someday in the near future I expect there to be some kind of long term living space on the moon. When that happens, at some point someone will not make it back alive. It seems perfectly reasonable to me if their remains stay there permanently.

    I don’t know. Maybe that’s just me. I’m not in a position to be anything more than a single voice. The whole thing seems really kinda dumb.
