I am not a robot. I promise.
Oh, and of course they won’t let us view the security cameras, that’s reserved for the main office in Gulfport MS, supposedly…
Like fuck, I used to work on security camera systems, it’s not exactly rocket science to rewind to whatever day and time over the past month to review the footage, locally…
Fire department declared… “No Cause Obvious”
Police are being douchebags about it and they don’t seem to give a flying fuck ☹️
This is not where the story starts, nor is it a happy day spring story…
No, wrong vehicle. 96 GMC Sonoma now.
Check my profile and recent comment/post history, I have nothing to hide.
You wouldn’t want the truck anyways, quit looking. It’s a piece of shit. It’s a free piece of shit, but at least it runs…
I know, your username is all the shit you need to smear.
Carry on Mr. Mayor! 💩
This sounds like useful advice, thank you 👍

Just chiming in to say I read your detailed comment here, thanks for the response, so you don’t have to copy/paste/parrot the same response to my lengthy comment I left you…
I’m glad your surgery worked out for you, that’s awesome 👍
May I ask, similar to the other commenter, like what type of surgery did you have and how’s the anesthesia part work out, are you conscious or fully knocked out for it? What was the recovery time like and what’s the risks of something going wrong?
You can pause right here if you care to comment on my questions, beyond this point is a TL;DR of my own experiences, read further if you want…
I originally got glasses at age 8, in 1990. In the past, I have had issues with glasses not sitting comfortably on my face, but I’ve also come to respect glasses not only for focus, but also as eye protection.
For the past couple years though, I’ve been wearing stupid thick bifocals that were donated to me by an old fella, that happen to be a perfect match for my vision, but they were made around 1988, so yeah coke bottle glasses. My left lens is ~7mm thick at the thickest spot, the right lens is ~9mm thick, so yeah they’re a bit heavy, but crystal clear.
What I’ve come to learn about such heavy glasses on my face, is that when I got them as a donation made in 1988, is that initially they gave me headaches. Not from the lenses though, but from the earpieces, they needed to be bent to match my skull shape over and behind my ears. They also needed new earpiece tips as well, the originals were totally dryrotted and crumbling apart.
So, I spent like 3 hours per side, carefully bending and readjusting both earpieces very carefully, to fit properly over and behind my ears, and to conform comfortably to the shape of my skull. Then I replaced the earpiece tips with a few layers of heatshrink/Thermalfit out of my electronics kit, and covered those buffer layers with proper silicone replacement earpiece tips.
I was extremely careful to match up the ends of the earpiece tips to my skull, as that’s not only where they caused headaches, but also why they kept slipping down my nose. So as I fit them to my skull and ears, I curled the earpiece tips in much further than you usually see glasses generically made. I adjusted these things to fit me perfectly, no more headaches, no more nose slippage, and crystal clear vision.
Somehow they survive me working on vehicles and such, and still don’t have a single friggin scratch! I guess they just made stuff to actually last back in 1988, they just needed basically minor maintenance and major skull/ear fitting. It’s not about style for me anymore, it’s about what just works.
If you’ve made it this far, I’m always glad to share stories of people’s journeys towards better vision and learn along the way…
Thanks for coming to my Ted Talk
Vision, ~20/500 severely nearsighted sucks.
No I ain’t about to get surgery for it, my glasses do me just fine, but still it would at least feel like I had infinitely better vision if I had 20/20 vision…
On Android, I highly recommend and regularly use Léon - The URL Cleaner. It’s about as plain and simple of an app there is, just Register Léon as browser (this makes the URL Cleaner app available when you share a link), and set the Action after clean to whatever you like (I set it to Copy to clipboard, then paste the cleaned link from clipboard wherever I’m looking to actually share).
Sure it takes a few seconds longer to share a cleaned up link, but it does exactly what it’s supposed to do and strips all that tracking shit off the links you wanna share.
Interesting, I wasn’t aware of that. What sort of ball/fetch toy would you recommend then?
Not like our dog even plays fetch LOL, ours just looks at you stupid like ‘why you throw that?’ 😂
Bleh, whether the trip is a success or not, do they at least have two functioning toilets?
None. I was the one usually giving motivational thoughts and words Then J. showed up. J was an abused woman, about age 26, burned with kerosene on her chest… ☹️
I learned something that day, things could be way worse.
I hope J. is doing good these days…
Meanwhile, while I service vehicles over 30 years old, and new old stock still sits on the shelves and they ain’t making new parts for old vehicles anymore…
Yeah, please, please tell me that everyone’s brake pads were manufactured within the last two years, I’ll laugh you right out of the shop. 😂🤣
Everything wears out, regardless of temperature. Sure Teflon lasts a good long time as long as certain temperatures aren’t exceeded, but even at room temperature/dishwashing temperature, particles of those molecules are still gonna wear off, and they don’t just randomly vanish.
What’s that stink you smell out of your vacuum cleaner? Well yeah, lots of dust and dead skin cells and such, but also all the other toxic debris gradually wearing away from our household items and whatnot…
Teflon, see my other comment.

TL;DR - Teflon, plus other chemicals, but particularly Teflon
LOL, you’d like to think I’d leave it that easy…
