I also love this YouTube video, which covers this extremely well - youtu.be/s7tWHJfhiyo

- Comment on Why don't people going to college get HUD, Food Stamps, and free Medicare/Medicaid while enrolled? Instead of the parents footing the bill or the student working 3 jobs and school? 3 weeks ago:
I was an orphan at the time, but when I was putting myself through college I had food stamps and it helped me a ton with keeping me fed. I was fortunate to have that program available to me at that time in my life. I also worked several jobs at the same time.
- Comment on Can you actually suffocate to death from holding your breath? 4 weeks ago:
I don’t think so, but I’m certainly not an expert on the subject. However, I would think at worst you could hold it until you pass out. Once you pass out, your body would no longer consciously be purposely trying not to breathe, and you would then start breathing before you regain consciousness.
Logically that’s how I think it would go, at least.

Nope! I was fortunate that I never had any issues with dryness.

Same with me, and I would also be happy to answer any questions you have, OP.
- Comment on Is it possible to fix one's eyesight? What are working methods? What is to be cautious about? 3 months ago:
Many, like me, require no treatments as well.
Also, all of us have close vision issues when we hit our mid forties or so due to our weakening muscles in our eyes, it’s something you can also treat with LASIK, but most use reading glasses.
Can’t beat Father Time!
However, my biggest challenge was distance vision (near-sightedness) and that will never go away, so again life long change for many with no downside.
As always, each person is different and you should be evaluated for a fit for the procedure. Some people have complications like many surgical procedures, and many/most do not.

I had bladeless LASIK in 2013, taking my glasses prescription from 20/170 to 20/12.5.
You read that right, there’s better than 20/20 which is considered perfect. 20/10 is as low as most measurements go. I’m right between 20/10 and 20/15.
11 years later in my early 40s, my vision hasn’t changed one bit, still seeing better than “perfect”.
The procedure took less than 5 minutes per eye and I was good to go really the next day.
It’s the best money I’ve spent on anything in my life and I would do it again a thousand times if I had a thousand chances to choose again. And I have a TON of hobbies.
If you get evaluated and are a good candidate, go for it! It’s life changing to not have to mess with glasses or contacts, being free to do watersports and winter sports with no hassle.

- Comment on Why do cell phones have a data limit but home internet doesn't? 5 months ago:
My Comcast has a terabyte monthly data cap. They will send you an email if you get close to it, and if memory serves they allow you one time to go over it before they charge you some.
Even with downloading many big games sometimes when I refresh my PC and using streaming video apps all the time, I’ve never hit it but have come close several times. I also work from home.
- Comment on Random Screenshots of my Games #19 - The Exit 8 5 months ago:
This game is pretty awesome in VR. It’s a relatively new release if memory serves, even though the exit 8 non-VR has been out for a while.

Hopefully it involves parachuting dogs
- Comment on In honor of the start spooky season (yay!), I have a question about an apparently beloved spooky meme/skit. What about "David S. Pumpkins" is so funny? 5 months ago:
It’s funny because it’s bigger than a normal hat

I interpreted it more as “you’re probably gonna die the horrific death of radiation poisoning, you should rub one out for the last time before you go”

Thanks for showing your true thoughts, so I can tag you in Lemmy as a trump supporter and more easily see right through you in the future. I would suggest others do the same to easily identify these sycophants.

In all seriousness though, it looks like there’s a decent space between each seat half. I wonder how bad this would be for a mountain bike or what kind of maintenance would be needed to ensure fluid motion isn’t interrupted.
- Comment on Can a judge sue a defendant for slander/libel? 9 months ago:
No matter what the outcome, it’s probably a poor choice to do this before your sentencing, which the judge you’re slandering has full control over.
- Comment on Recommendations for a battery tester? I'm open to other devices that aren't limited to testing batteries 10 months ago:
I was going to say this as well. A multimeter is good to have in the house for certain situations and since they’re pretty cheap (~$20) it’s a good investment if you ever need to test fuses or voltage, continuity, etc.
- Comment on Helldivers 2 has "performed well ahead of expectations" and topped more than 8m sales 1 year ago:
It’s really easy to have people join your game, or for you to join others. Also, it’s not terrible playing solo either. I’m really enjoying it both ways. Feel free to add me on steam (same name) if you’re on PC, or if on PS5 DM me and I can send you a friend invite if you want to team up and spread some democracy.
