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.

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? 1 month 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.

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.

It’s funny because it’s bigger than a normal hat

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? 6 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 6 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 8 months 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.

- Comment on How do I get over my ex? 10 months ago:
I’ve been in your shoes. I nearly married my ex that cheated on me. You know what happened? Like you I tried to move on and ended up meeting my wife while my ex was trying to reconcile. She admitted that she screwed up and that we should start over. I ended up snubbing her in favor of giving my now-wife a shot. Almost 16 years later and it was the best decision I ever made relationship-wise. My mistake was thinking my ex was the only one for me.
It’s okay to not have the answers. It’s okay to take time to figure this out for you. But you need to understand that if your ex hurt you when you really needed them, that’s not the person that is going to be by your side at all times - they failed that check already. Life is short and fleeting - don’t waste your good years hoping something will manifest itself through all of the past drama. You’re fantastic and someone is DEFINITELY out there that will appreciate you for exactly who you are.
There’s lots of fish in the sea, and potentially there might be several people out there that might be the one - give this one a chance!

- Comment on Is America Really That Bad? 1 year ago:
I like this analogy. The teenagers, some who are very responsible, intelligent, kind, and respectful of others have got caught up with a couple of POS idiots who think they know best, and then all of them do some stupid shit together and become a laughing stock of the whole school.
There are some amazing people here. We have amazing freedoms, fantastic opportunities, and so many things to be thankful for (compared to so many other places in the world at least). There’s just a bunch of shit ass teenagers spoiling the bunch.
