I think laser eye surgery is one of the biggest let downs of the century. Why would they call it that if they're not going to give you laser eyes?

Actually, they do.


It's just that the specific frequency of laser is invisible and nobody who's had it wants to admit they can reheat coffee just by looking at it for a minute.



If you want the whole visual spectrum laser eyes with infra-red, UV, HUD interface, and variable x-ray perv options, it costs a whole lot more. Costco sometimes has 2-4-1 sales tho'.

I ll have to pay out of pocket. Saw an ad for $250 per eye.

I don't think eye surgery performed out of the back of a van is great idea.

Just looked up the price of Lasik. Iiii think I'll just stick to lenses and glasses and let you Rockefeller people enjoy your luxury eyeballs.

Edit: A mod should make a Lasik thread to dump this talk into.

I paid 4K with my eyes and I will say it’s well worth it. I went to the nicer than average place .. cause eyes. I also think it’s well worth it if their is a crash of society glasses are going to be tough to find if that helps throw it over the top.

Eh, suicide is always an option.

I'm a +6 or so and because I'm so long-sighted (note that's not far-sighted) the surgery is a lot more complicated, involving going into the eye not just shaving the cornea, which of course freaks he shit out of me.
Being more complicated there's a much lower chance of outright success, and I'd probably have to wear glasses to read and drive anyway, so I figured what's the point of that?

I've worn them since I was nine months old, so I'm kinda used to them. Still hate them though.

Probably should check out where the technology is up to now, but I doubt it's made sufficient strides since I last checked as to make it an attractive option.

Glad it's worked for some people anyway.

If you wear glasses does that give you +1 and thus constitute them as a Magic Item?

Well, they do make my eyes look bigger and as multifocals they have a small section in the middle of the bottom half that gives me 1.25 magnification ... does that count?

Had a 2 day UK IT outage. I assume some colleagues in the IT department have had a terrible couple of days but I am enjoying being back in the pre-email dark ages. Had a few phone calls, cancelled all my online meetings, can't open a single internet page or network drive and can't open Outlook. I have written a document I've been putting off for weeks and now that is finished I can't do anything. I can live with getting paid to do that! It will be a shit storm when I'm back online next week but that's no different from usual so I don't care.

Woo! Easter! Christ has risen, everyone!

Lent over, good times (can drink again). And a day off tomorrow.

Life's good.

[Aptorian]

Wasn't that last week???

How long have you been drinking?

In other news I got bumped up from 30 hours a week to 37 at work. Bank account will be happy next month.

Now to somehow twist the boss' arm and get some added benefits for new responsibilities.

Playing with a cool male yard salamander. Fucker doesn't even care that a human is touching it. He'd be fucked if I just picked him up and ate him. I wonder how he has lived long enough to grow over a foot? I was petting it while it was walking along eating.

How do you know it’s male?

[Tiste Simeon]

I think if anyone is an expert at middle distance salamander penis spotting, it's him...
