Well, not now, there aren’t.

One day you’ll pick up your son for the last time and neither of you will realize it.
I’m fact, he’ll want you to one more time and you’ll put your back out trying. Then you’ll both know.

Oh. Well, I haven’t seen any changes like that. Yet. Still time, I guess.
And also seriously, I didn’t get any eye color change. I also had lens replacements a few years ago, but that didn’t involve a vitrectomy, so I still had floaters at that point.
When I went to a new opthalmologist recently, that asked about my eye health history. It took about 45 minutes!

I had a detached retina which involved (spoiler for those that don’t like to read about eyes)
Tap for spoiler
Having the fluid removed and replace with gas. My eye was out of action for months, going through all the stages of gradually refilling itself. I had to stay mostly lying down for a week. For a while I had an effect like looking over the surface of water. Later, a big bubble that distorted vision. Oh also, I was forbidden to go to high altitude because the pressure change could cause damage. But after all that, just a few occasional floaters. My other eye still had lots of “tethered” floaters that seem to still be attached like seaweed strands. So it can be done but you would go through a lot to get there. I’ve heard that people do get that done just for the floater problem.

You should join Facebook. I looked at ONE video of a cat firing an automatic weapon on a doorstep, and for the next month my feed was full of doorbell recordings of animals with weapons.

True. Part of me still wants a Nokia N90 just because it hinted at so much functionality when I first saw it.
- Comment on No it won’t 1 month ago:
I have seen AI gadgets in clickbait ads.
Cool-looking cubes with lots of controls and stuff, but with meaningless symbols and “words” for labels.
It reminds me how influenced I am by advertising, that I kind of want something that doesn’t exist or have a purpose, just because it looks gadgety.

I once heard that laser pointers are bad for cats’ mental health: the tantalizing red dot that they just cannot catch.
Best to let them see the dot “run away and escape” if they do chase one.
- Comment on Bring bathroom doors back to hotels 1 month ago:
Where is this found? I’ve stayed in maybe 10 hotels in California this year plus plenty in previous years (and a few in other states) and never seen this.
Is it maybe a thing in small rooms (I travel with family so never book anything with less than two beds).

- Comment on Microsoft's decision to axe Windows 10 is driving Apple PC sales growth — users buy Macs instead of AI PCs despite Microsoft’s push for Copilot+ PCs 2 months ago:
I found a setting to switch the key functions, but it still doesn’t help with the other differences. I just have to learn to mentally change gears when using a Mac.
Moving the cursor by words, for example, is ctrl-cursor on PC, but option-cursor on Mac. So switching Ctrl/Fn doesn’t help with that.
Not to mention tapping on the screen to select something does not go well on the Mac…

The immediate regret will be when they discover that Ctrl isn’t where they expect it to be, followed by the discovery that it doesn’t get used for copy and paste anyway.

+R.
If you’d asked me, I’d have said that I always bought -R, but I guess I was different person back then.
- Comment on "I used to be with it" 2 months ago:
I made some DVDs for someone recently. First I had to dig out my old laptop that has a drive. Then install authoring and burning software.
All the help forum posts that I found were at least 15 years old, I’m amazed that any of the recommended software still existed.
