Another risk in laser eye surgery is extreme dryness.
THIS. The laser surgical outlets downplay it, but if you drill down in their statistics you can find something interesting.
I was offered laser surgery (femto-lasik if I recall correctly) but asked to see some numbers. As you would expect, right after the procedure you have a high in side effects, and then it slowly drops. Now, I don't remember the numbers exactly, but something like 30% experienced dry eyes 2 years after the procedure! I asked for numbers after 3 or 4 years, but they said they stopped keeping statistics after 2. No doubt, if you don't want to know the answer, you shouldn't ask the question..
Perhaps something new and revolutionary will come along in a few years, I sure could use something..
SMILE looks promising. Smaller incision = fewer nerves damaged = hopefully not so dry eyes.
Was recently on Harmony of the Seas, one of the ships with this robot bar. Sure, it is fun once, but the novelty wears off. Especially when you find bugs in the system like being out of orange juice. A human would notice!
However, I will say that I got a more consistent cocktail from the robot than the humans. That however is down to training.
If you are stopped by police, are you required to wait for them to get a K9-unit?
This goes back to all these "how to interact with police"-videos. Ask if you are arrested. Ask if you are free to go. Can they detain you without grounds of suspicion?
Dear USA, it feels very weird that you almost have to bring an instruction manual to interact with the police. Somewhere along the line you fucked up.

Plex is a company making a software called Plex Media Server, or PMS og Plex for short.
It is installable on a wide variety of platforms, including windows, mac and linux. The server indexes your collection of movies, tv-series, music, photos and home videos, and you can access it through a Plex Client on your computer, your smart tv, ios-device, android-device, apple tv, roku etc, and it can transcode the content (convert on the fly) in to a more suitable format for the client you are using.
The client even has offline support, so you can sync content to your tablet before a long flight. It's way easier than it used to be to get a bunch of mkv-files onto an ipad for example.
You can also share your media library (or parts of it) with other plex-users. So why not give grandma access to the photo library of her grandchildren? Great way to keep in touch.
A research team has created software that allows them to control the face of anyone in any video. Using advanced facial recognition, it looks at about 15 seconds of any face in a video and creates a 3D model of that face in real time.
In the future you will see movie theatres etc sell soft drink in a container labelled "12", and it will contain 11 fl oz. The "10" will contain 9 fl oz.
After all, if people assume the 12 stands for fl oz, it's their damn fault right?
Sure, it's been this way for some time, and various houses have used different sizes, and that makes it even more important to use actual sizes, not phony ones.
On an unrelated note, I found a cheap bottle of whisky that had a prominent "12" on the label. Naturally one would assume that this meant aged for 12 years, but nowhere does it say years. Could be weeks:-)
I can afford it without problems, it's more the annoyance. I suppose you would say the same about taxes and fees the airlines tack on to their cheap advertised prices? If you have to know about the final price, you can't afford it?
Besides, from a report: "For instance, most states exempt groceries from the sales tax, others tax groceries at a limited rate, and still others tax groceries at the same rate as all other products. Some states exempt clothing or tax it at a reduced rate."
So yeah, having the price you have to pay in advertising and on the sticker would be great. Hell if I know what the local food or clothing tax is.
But to be fair, I visited wal-mart for the first time earlier this month, and I believe I saw a sign saying you have to have shoes and a shirt on, or something similar.
There's no reason that an 85-year-old grandmother from Minnesota in a wheelchair should face a pat-down and the same security precautions as a 23-year-old Syrian national.
Actually, there is.
Is a grandmother going to be radicalized? Unlikely. But think of this: Someone with malicious intent finds out that granny is going to fly. They tell her that "look, you don't have long left to live anyway, Smuggle something aboard this aircraft and nothing will happen to your grandchildren". Everyone could be coerced into this. Doesn't even have to smuggle it onto your own aircraft, just past the checkpoint and hand it off to someone else who will use it on another aircraft. Granny gets to see her grandchildren again, some other plane with complete strangers has an accident.
Everyone should have the exact same scrutiny at the airport, healthy or ill, young or old. Because if we create a loophole it can be exploited.
I was moving and there was a bunch of stuff that I didn't want to bring to the new apartment so everything that I didn't move with me I listed online. So if a buyer wanted to buy, say, my old washing machine, I would have to go meet them at the old apartment, which was more or less empty except for the few items not sold yet.
Many countries are part of the visa waiver program, and they have to fill out an ESTA-application online and have it approved before attempting travel.
An ESTA-approval is no guarantee that you will be allowed to enter, but at least you should be able to fly.
Unless there is also something else in relation to Secure flight / AFIS, that is the transferral of passenger information to US authorities.

Thank you!
I was wondering about this myself.

How would a 30 second minimum hold hurt regular investors?
I'm a regular investor
When I invest in stock I do it with the intention of holding it for days, weeks and months.
If I only would have to pay for the months I use it, that would be great.
I mostly use the adobe photography creative plan ($10/month) but I use it maybe every other month.
I also bought the Elements-package so I could actually own some software and not be dependent on a subscription.

It really is a nifty piece of software.
"The meetings were disclosed to German competition officials in letters from VW and Daimler"
So, not really a secret cartel meeting then? More a cooperation between industry leaders trying to find a solution.
Kind of like how many industries have a forum where competitors can exchange experiences and work on some things together?

In Norway a 2x4 is sold as 48x98mm
If converted from inches 2x4inches it would be 50.8x101.6mm
If converted from 48x98mm to inches it would be 1.89x3.86 inches.
Either way, a long way from 1.5x3.5 inches.
From the video in the article (from their production facilities) it appears they are not really that unique. I saw a few duplicates:

And the prices should also include sales tax! If I have to pay it, it should be on the menu / store shelf.
It feels very backwards having to do math to find out what I actually have to pay. And finding out what the sales tax is when travelling.
You don't even have to put on pants.
That is also true of Wal-mart as well: http://www.peopleofwalmart.com...

I've been the seller in a situation like this.
I was moving and there was a bunch of stuff that I didn't want to bring to the new apartment so everything that I didn't move with me I listed online. So if a buyer wanted to buy, say, my old washing machine, I would have to go meet them at the old apartment, which was more or less empty except for the few items not sold yet.
and one or two instances where they tried to change the price after arriving
I've had that happen, and I HATE IT. Hate the SHIT out of it. You're trying to screw me around after we AGREED on a price? Fuck that shit.
Next time it happens, demand more.
If you agreed upon $100, and they offer $80, deny it and say the price has now went up to $120.
I have flown a A380, and the toilet had barely enough space to sit.

I actually need to spread my legs a little to pee while sitting.
However, there is a glimpse of hope, as there is supposed to be larger lavatories like these somewhere:

It's common for people to mix up visa and ESTA.
Many countries are part of the visa waiver program, and they have to fill out an ESTA-application online and have it approved before attempting travel.

Actually it's 4.5 x 4.5 m
not many of us have that space dedicated to gaming.
