Left Posted July 1, 2017 Report Share Posted July 1, 2017 I got a $15 gift card for amazon recently. I want to get a pair of glasses, non-prescription, but I'm nervous about how to get the right size. Is there any way to not feel like I'm just throwing darts at a board blindfolded? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not sure that's a good idea...? I mean, I pick glasses physically, trying them out and stuff and even then sometimes I have to make adjustments. Although for me glasses are something very important as I wear them all the time. But then I also don't understand how can you buy clothes online.

A Budgie Posted July 1, 2017 Report Share Posted July 1, 2017 So we're currently flicking through channels on our hotel TV, and we found a german channel with a rather interesting sport. Basically, someone sits in a huge semi inflated thing, and another person's jumps from a height onto the other end, sending the person shooting up into the air. I can't believe this. Also, apparently Germany has a competitive sport where you have to make the biggest splash possible. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apparently you can't walk into most glasses stores and buy a pair off the shelf unless you have a prescription, even if all you want is a pair for fashion. I'm really very clueless and inexperienced when it comes to eyeware. Thus, I'm going for just ordering a pair off of amazon to cut out all the restrictions and weird processes of a real life store. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When you buy glasses they measure things like the distance between your eyes and where the middle of your pupil focuses on the glass to make sure it all fits properly, and then they have to adjust the arms around your ears to make it comfortable. I guess good luck with the amazon thing? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, but if I understood @Left properly, he doesn't want glasses because of eye defect but for fashion, so it doesn't matter really. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The prescription doesnt have to match but most of what i described is fitting just the frames to your face. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The pupils thing is for the lenses, I think. And the arms get fixed later anyway I mean, if they don't fit you won't usually feel it until after wearing the glasses for some time. At least that's my experience 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oversleep Posted July 4, 2017 Report Share Posted July 4, 2017 (edited) Episode 3 of Dimension 404 opens with making fun of people who put off work to the last moment and watch tv series instead of learning.

It would be really funny if it would have happened the day after tomorrow Right now it was and "I probably should get back to learning"... Seriously, go watch Dimension 404. So far I have seen two episodes and first two minutes of the third and I'm liking it so far. Edited July 4, 2017 by Oversleep 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm pretty sure we've inscribed the word "freedom" into a yoke of our own. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silverblade5 Posted July 5, 2017 Report Share Posted July 5, 2017 So ... I live in a state that's well known for summer wildfires. Setting off small fireworks = fun. Seeing a mortar go off right above my house = concern. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our neighbors are launching professional fireworks by our house. I am a grumpy, old in heart, man. I can't sleep with all this ruckus! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seeing a mortar go off right above my house = concern. Have fun, but keep an eye out is all I can really say. There were so many small fires the last few years that this is the first year that my city has an outright ban on commercial fireworks this year. It's just after dark, and I can still see and hear a lot of tickets being lit off. I'm not going to risk it, so I both understand your concern, and I'm a bit jealous. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Fire Department had a very rough time last year, so they're really pushing the tickets hard. I'm sure a lot of people will get away with it.
