animals just gotta life long enough to fucc

sometimes I wonder about bird feeders made from beef tallow and if it’s giving them atherosclerosis but even if it does does it matter? if in fact it means they have more energy and have moire babes that’s a good thing
Birds are so far from humans and mammals I wouldn't be sure they'd have the same process as causes heart goo at all

has anyone had any luck getting their eye dude to actually give you your prescription in writing?
Yes. My optometrist handed it to me on a slip, and I believe Lenscrafters will do so automatically as well. I'm not sure they'd actually be allowed to purposefully conceal medical information from you.

Wow, that's some rear end in a top hat move. I was concerned about being able to get my prescription in a form to take home so i could buy more pairs from Zenni. what sort of questions should i ask up front?

Note that I do intend to buy one or two pairs from the place i go to for my exam; i'm going to give them some business. but the whole exercise is to get my prescription so i can buy a dozen pairs of hosed up weird glasses from china
You're paying them for the eye exam, aren't you? ('You" may be "your insurance" of course)

if they intentionally gave you the wrong prescription out of spite for not buying from them, that is huge malpractice and you'd be rich

e: to be clear, when the guy gave me the one without IPD, that's not a wrong prescription. it's just incomplete and they can't make the glasses without that figure. any optometrist can measure it in 10 seconds, but i couldn't have completed an online order without it.
There are phone apps you can use which give a pretty plausible result. Zenni also has various tools you can allegedly use.

I used a phone app and ordered Zenni glasses and if they're off it's by a tiny, tiny amount, enough that I'm still basically getting the full benefit.

to be clear on the glasses, the apps I used are only for pupil distance, and I believe they have a way to allow for individual eye pupil distance.

Zenni also obviously does not sell contacts, at least to my knowledge

and then the CMAs tried to revoke it from lil nas until billy ray cyrus walked him through the door with his version. meanwhile it was like the first time nails got a top billboard something or other
it's probably bullshit but the idea of billy ray cyrus hearing lil nas x and going "this guy rules! I need to collab with him!" is heartwarming

yeah she was saying it's actually weird that western folk tales are mostly morality tales crafted into making people behave themselves, lol. sometimes you just wanna hear a story about a sleepy bear that gender swaps after eating too much cilantro, you know?
Didn't they get like manipulated into that by the Grimms or other folklore collection analysts, and previously only had messages along the lines of "weird poo poo happens in the woods, so stay out"

apparently the boffins figured out a way to do this, probably, though uh the scale of their predicted changes is surprising, it sounds like doing this would fairly quickly make Mars, not habitable, but "meaningfully less desolate"

however this doesn't involve any slaves, so I doubt Musk is interested
