I also choose to believe this is a sleeper with a tuned 454 under the hood.

So very Xtian of them to divide everyone into classes. What a pile of shit.

 

This doozy was shot just two days ago. I never thought I'd have a use for it on lemmy!

Thanks! I have sent an email and will update if they reply. I will not hold my breath though.

Thank you kindly for the reply. This makes some sense. It is just so scummy feeling because the information is there, it is about me, but I can't use it to shop around. I probably just had a great opto who went above and beyond back in the day and that coloured my expectations.

Awesome. I have the PD measurement from that picture, along with other measurements.

I assume this covers everything the lens folks will need.

Since I was able to get the measurements from the app he was using I think this is going to be my course of action. I will ask for my script from the optometrist and then take the pupil measurements from that picture and send them to someone who will make the lenses for my sunglasses.

 

Location: Canada

Background: When I first started wearing glasses the optometrist would just give me a piece of paper that I could take to any shop to get my lenses made. Then they started refusing that paper and insisting I either leave my frames with them for two weeks, or that I buy new frames.

And now it seems like even asking for the script, or the measurements, is 'against policy'.


I recently went in for an eye exam and some new glasses, and the optician said something I have never been told before.

I had asked if they could give me the prescription for my sunglass lenses since they don't deal with the brand that I prefer, and he said that I would have to schedule another appointment at a shop that deals with that brand, because the prescription was not enough, and I would also need the measurements he took.

I asked if I could have those measurements and he said it was against policy.

Is he lying to try to get me to buy new frames from his shop? Or is there something to what he is saying?

Confession - When he walked away I took a picture of the measuring app he had used which seems to show all the measurements.

Would this be useful to another shop? I'm just trying to buy lenses without spending a fortune on yet another frame.

It all feels like a scam.

 

Bonus:

I'm not sure which I prefer.

 

There are four from the most recent batch. But they are never all in one spot. And the parents don't come around much during the summer.

This mullein is now over 6 feet tall. It is my favorite wild plant by far.

The private servers have been up a while. But it is always hard for fan projects to gain traction for devs, players, or donations, when the IP could be yanked at any time. NCSoft granting a license should provide one heck of a shot in the arm for this cult classic game.

Go. Hunt. KILL Skul!

 

I thought this growth pattern was weird, and on inspection it seems like it pushed up past a tiny root that is now choking it.

I was thinking of going out his morning to cut the root out.

What do the pros think?
