I mean, one of the benafits for fentanyl specifically from the perspective of drug dealers is that it’s a synthetic. With heroin or cocaine or something you have to have space to grow the plants or a source for the plants and those can only grow easily at certain latitudes, etc. So you’re limited by the supply chain. With synthetics you can set up a lab anywhere relatively easily, like in Canada for example
It’s going to stay on my wishlist but I think I’ll sit on it for a while Thank you for your response!
Wow! Thank you for the detailed response, based on your comments and those of the other responder I’ll probably pass on it for now, I’m deeply uncomfortable enough on my own thank you.
Who knows though, it may still end up in my library later when it goes on sale. I have a bad history of that.
Is this game fun? I have seen lots of recommendations for it but the name of the game along with some of the art has me worried it’s going to be deeply uncomfortable. To anyone who has played it: how would you describe the mood of the game?
You had me at mortal engines
True, but with the speed of light being constant as far as we know worrying about it is sort of a moot point
Too lazy to look it up but I think the original store before they franchised only had the 1 arch
My understanding is the 1080 predated the RTX stuff by a generation, even when I was on Windows I don’t think the Nvidia drivers for the 1080 supported RTX well, if at all
I have a GTX 1080 and I’ve been gaming on Linux for over a year now. No issues. Only thing that you cant do is some of the new generation window managers (wayland) but even that is working well in the nvidia drivers that arent on stable yet. In any case, the previous generations window managers work great and if wayland doesnt work properly for you, you can just as easily do without it.
Point is, its worth it to make the switch. I set my partner up with Linux Mint when their machine didnt qualify for windows updates anymore and they’ve had no problems, games and all. And they would never touch the command line.
Would recommend
Yeah but at least where I am its self reported lol
idk why anyone would buy anything HP these days anyways
They have two EPs right now and I’m quite a fan of both. If you liked that one, definitely check out the rest of their discography
Not all plastics are made equal. Two different 1.5 or 1.6 index plastics from different manufacturers will have different scratch resistance as well as different levels of aberration depending on how good their materials science is.
All plastic is softer than glass, yes, which is why any plastic lens you get has a hardcoat to reduce scratching and if it is from a quality lab, a scratch/antireflective coat as well.
If you’ve never had plastic lenses last very long, where you are sourcing them from is using inferior quality plastics with whichever lab partner they use. That or you a) leave them in a hot car and the heat damages them b) constantly leave them lens-face down on the table
But I have had people with very stable prescriptions keep plastic lenses in good condition for 15-20 years in extreme cases.
Laminated glass treatments may be used, but because they cause problems with the cutting machinery it is far more common in optical glass lenses to see chemical or heat treating. If these are done well, they can be quite resistant to shattering. This, however, really comes down to the individual skill of the person treating your lens and I’ve seen enough damaged eyes to be wary of them.
Another reason many labs have moved away from mineral lenses entirely is that they shatter when being cut to shape for your glasses, posing greater risk to the one doing the edging and significantly greater cost to the lab. Depending on the complexity of prescription they may shatter up to 3 or 4 times before one cuts properly into shape.
To add onto this, if you are using progressive glasses, you are certainly getting an inferior product as no lab I’m familiar with puts their new progressive designs into mineral. The majority only have designs from 15-20 years ago with terrible intermediate segments.
My favourite “obscure” artist right now is a Vancouver band called Slightest Clue. Post/Punk alternative group.
Quality plastic lenses can last that long. Often being able to keep glasses that long depends most on the stability of your prescription, and not going for bottom of the barrel coatings.
Glass lenses are harder to scratch, but are heavier for the same prescription and if you get hit in the face can shatter into shards that are quite damaging to the eyes.
If getting hit in the face is not a risk for you and you dont mind the extra weight go for it, but it’s worth noting there are some downsides as well.
Fun fact, many of the intra-ocular lenses and contact lenses that provide UV protection do so just by the properties of the material they are made of, not any special coating.
Yeah, AZW3 was the format I was thinking of. For things purchased from the amazon store for the kindle they will be in that format. If you want to move your amazon books library elsewhere you have to use some funky plugins for calibre to convert them to a standard format like mobi or epub
