Ah, got it. I'm pretty focused on lenses just due to my day to day.

Polycarbonate has one of the lowest ABBE values of any of the optically used plastics, so it scatters light pretty badly the thicker it is. As compared to eyeglasses, telescope lenses are really thick, so the poor light transmission would ruin the clarity. On top of that, poly expands a lot under heat, and so any coatings on the lenses will eventually start to craze and delaminate. Glasses don't need to last more than 5 years before being replaced, so it's not as big of a deal. If your telescope became unusable in that time, you'd be furious.

Poly, while being impact resistant, is not nearly as scratch resistant as glass, and is nowhere near as chemically stable. Didn't realize there was dirt on your cleaning cloth? Ruined scope. Cleaned it with regular window cleaner? Ruined scope.

There are other resins that would be better, but nothing nearly as simple and durable as glass comes close to the optical clarity.

Eyeglasses would still be made from glass if they weren't so heavy and potentially dangerous, Not to ignore that nobody wants to wait two months for custom lenses to be made.

Who gave them an incorrect warrant? What was it for? What's the point of listing names on a warrant if you ignore them? Why is every department claiming they weren't involved? Why were they collecting evidence from people not involved or listed on the warrant?

What exactly are any of us supposed to do if this happens?

With all the over militarized equipment they've deemed necessary to give out traffic tickets, I would assume those have ballot proof windshields

Conversation, mostly. By the time I quit reddit around two years ago, every top comment was a repost of a previous joke, or some predictable mutation of one.

Anything that went against the common preconceptions was shutdown immediately. I'm an expert/professional in a few niche subjects, and the final nail in the coffin for me was any comment I made turning into a fruitless debate with armchair experts too dumb to even understand why they were wrong, while correct info was downvoted to invisibilty.

None of this helps you crosspost, I'm aware.

It was pretty clever to use a spray bottle to add condensation to the inside of the bottle. I would of gotten away with it too, if it weren't for you pesky lemmings.

Sharks are older than trees.

They're older than a lot of things. Land plants, Yellowstone, appendages,dinosaurs, doritos.

Burgers are greasy, that doesn't bother me. Brioche buns are sweet and too thick, that's what bothers me.

Stop putting sugar in everything. I don't want a sweet Burger

My partner and I are like this. We've been together for 14 years and are legit best friends.

I have a feeling too many people paired off right away and decided their first serious relationship was the one, and never actually found an equal. Maybe they married more out of fear of being alone rather than actual desire, or they just can't tell the difference between sexual novelty and love.

Even a lot of my married friends start identifying more with boomer humor than romance after 2 or 3 years. Way too many communication issue, or ideas of traditional roles or how things 'should be' leading to resentment or exasperation.

Court long and marry late. And don't hide your real self when dating.

Well yeah fuck that guy and this program and it's implications, but this particular issue doesn't sound too unexpected considering the scope of the procedure.

I'm all for the science, but you know this is going to be some directly streamed ads hellspace we'll never escape from if it comes to fruition.

Here's a good rule for this sort of thing to move forward: No implants before right to privacy and freedom from advertising.

Washing dishes at a restaurant was my jam. Cranking music, making the other staff happy since I could clear that place like nobody else. all the dishes were the same and fit in the machine that was made for them, so I could focus on making the most efficient system to get everything done fast. I was wet and standing on slippery concrete all day, but it's rewarding being the best at something.

But it payed 7.00, and the managers treated me like shit. Only job I ever walked out of when the owner started scolding me for washing a bin that was brought to me that still had too many frozen peas in it in her opinion. Final straw after constantly being short staffed, changing shifts last minute, firing good managers to give their shitty kids the positions, and forcing everyone to fill in other jobs without training.

Fuck you, pie company. I could have been happy.

There's a type of bacteria that infects caterpillars and produces a toxin that makes them lose all rigidity. The toxin is called MCF.

MCF stand for Makes Caterpillars Floppy
