    It's cataract surgery time

    The $3750 lens will give you halos around taillights. It says so right in the chart. I wouldn't go for that.

    Why should I care about Open Ai's boss?

    The news has been full of the danger of AI to democracy, journalism and truth as (we think) we know it. Then there is a hoohah about some guy named Sam Altman. He's in, he's out, his employees are resigning, he's hired by Microsoft, he's back at the helm of OpenAi... Who cares? If AI is a...

    Yes, he said they can configure the lenses that way, but that is not how I imagine eyes and brains are supposed to work together.

    It's cataract surgery time

    Well, it is not lasik surgery where they are slicing and dicing your lens. They are cutting in just to slip out the bio lens and inserting the acrylic lens. He said the operation takes 7 minutes! Also, my eyes aren't going to get better. The cataract in my dominant eye is smack in the middle of...

    It's cataract surgery time

    Ok, so it is time for me to get my cataracts replaced with bionic lenses. I have a choice of getting the standard lenses (free, thanks to Medicare) or forking out money for fancier lenses. I have been nearsighted my whole life, with a strong astigmatism. I do not mind wearing glasses at all --...

    2024: What is on your bucket list?

    We had driven up to Hurricane Ridge one year and my husband and a 22 yr old decided to ride their accoustics back down. It was absolutely scary to follow them DOWN. They had fun though. I would hesitate to go down on an ebike because of how much faster ebikes descend due to their weight, and...

    American boy: "At your house, do you say a prayer before your meals?" French girl: "Non. We are French. We know how to cook."

    Show us pictures of where you ride your ebikes!

    English ivy is such a scourge, because it grows happily in sun or shade. But you can stop that from happening. Get in there with loppers and remove the vines to a height of 6 ft or whatever you can reach. Clear away the ivy around the base of the tree. The vines above will die. Go on now: it'll...

    This may help all E bike users

    So you mean for this to hoist the ebike up for working on? Or putting onto a bike rack on the back of a car?

    Cost to recharge an ebike battery.

    Nope, I don't worry about it. My husband is an electrician and he considers even me turning off lights when I leave a room to be an affront to his livelihood. Every ride I take that replaces a car ride is a kindness to the environment, and every ride I take staves off disability and an immobile...

    "Route" can rhyme with root or snout. Either/both is correct, either/both are used -- interchangeably. Just as sometimes we pronounce "the" thee and sometimes it rhymes with duh 🙄, I don't know if there is even any rule. Sometimes different parts of the country will pronounce words differently...
