  • You had a bad experience. I respect that. I have not.

    Unless we can force a certificate of origin from your local optician for the lenses and the frames, there is a good chance we are actually purchasing material made in PRC.

    Regarding service, I’ve used glasses for so long I learned how to maintain, fit and fix minor damage to my glasses.

    And regarding quality, even when I paid a lot more money, a pair of glasses would last for about a year, give or take a couple of months. I get the same time from a cheaper set of glasses. So, no gain in spending more.






  • I recently discovered I can use an angle grinder with a level of precision and finess most people take some time to develop.

    From free hand cutting straight lines into pretty much anything that can be cut, to precise cut of stone, cement or even metal.

    I was dead afraid of this particular power tool for all my life and only when forced to use one to do some repairs around the house I discovered I could handle it so easily.


  • I really didn’t want to but their comment just reeks of it my guy.

    Except that you did want to. Otherwise, you wouldn’t have done.

    Unless by “doing this shit here as well”, you’re referring to the act of not reading the article, jumping to conclusions, and spreading fear and disinformation.

    In order to be as fair as possible, I went back and read the comment again.

    Is it inflammatory and excessive, while putting out an outlook of distrust towards a new technology? It can be understood as such. Yet, to a degree, I respect and understand that opinion.

    Spurting out “okay boomer” doesn’t dismantle that comment; it’s a personal attack.

    Either add to the conversation on just keep your peace. Makes the world a better place.

    That makes absolutely no sense whatsoever.

    My carrier has been giving me weekly data packs since mid May, with a use-or-lose-it condition, so I have been actively not using my home connection and connecting everything I can remember to my phone’s hotspot.

    The moment you pay/receive the bandwith, it’s yours to use as you understand; the network can’t interfere with its usage.

    That is gross overreach.
