i've had shitty £1 reading glasses for a while now, for..reading.
I've just realised that I now need glasses to see the computer screen properly.
Also, I apparently called it a 'computer screen' so . oh jeez. I just aged a decade. Perhaps two.
- to the opticians i go.Nairn
- Last week, doc told me I’m ready for bifocals. I did not need him to tell me this. I knew.nb
- I started wearing progressive glasses about 5 years ago. I'm fine with it. My eyes will get worse but they can always just change my prescription.CyBrainX

- I got bifocals a couple of years ago.
This year I got some bifocal contacts. No idea how they work, but they do! F*ckin witchcraft!microkorg - I buy different flavors of shampoo and conditioner because I can no longer read “Shampoo” or “Conditioner” in the shower without glasses.shellie
- I also wear seamless bifocals which ive noticed fucks w/ my line when im on the putting green lining up shot. Cant tilt my head to the side or the ground warpshellie
- Microkorg, does it matter which orientation you put the contacts? they work no matter how u put them in? I've never had bifocals at all...cherub
- @prophetone ahahahsted
- @microkorg the top part of the lens helps with the distant, the bottom part with the near view.sted
- Sted, yup, thats how bifocal glasses work. But with the lenses you put them in any way up. (answers your question too cherub)microkorg
- Ah, it's not a top/bottom thing...

You really DO NEED glasses shampoo or conditioner shouldn't come in FLAVORS.palimpsest - https://i.haasie.com…palimpsest
- Guess who left his specs at home today, lol.Nairn
- I inquired about contacts and before bigocal which is more expensive they offered two prescriptions one for each eye.shellie
- Apparently most peoples brains splits the difference. But some cant do it then the more expensive lenses are the way. Wild.shellie
- I just got progressives (bifocals?) last week. Ugh.monospaced
- cheers, microkorg!cherub
- I tried the two different contacts as a cheaper solution but I couldn't gel with it. Gave me real anxiety. And I'm not convinced thatmicrokorg
- its a good thing long term having each eye doing different things.microkorg
- I wear glasses 80% of the time. Contacts for sport mainly.microkorg

When you have a CD collection.
That contains Korn and Pearl Jam.

- Could be any band from the 90'sNBQ00
- I still like a lot of the stuff from the grunge days :)jagara
- When you have an album collection from your youth and a CD collection the basement of mom and dad's place. Oh, and all my college books.formed

I wash my rice
- signs you care in the kitchen, introduced this to a friend who was ashamed they'd never known.imbecile
- jiro says you have to so I've always done it... but I don't know why?ArchitectofFate
- Who the hell doesn't wash their rice??Akagiyama
- I don't wash rice and never thought it was something anyone ever did.CyBrainX
- I never gave it much thought until I started eating it daily. That first rinse is gnarly.BonSeff
- In terms of why? It gets rid of dirt and other impurities, also gets rid of starch so its fluffy. I boil mine like pasta for 15 mins, drain and let steam in potBonSeff
- for 10 mins, perfect and fluffy everytimeBonSeff
- Isn't rice-rinsing for regular eaters about getting rid of the arsenic?NonEntity
- ^ That's the logic my wife givesstoplying
- The washing rice doesn't get rid of the arsenic, the boiling like pasta and draining that water does.BonSeff
- You gotta wash it to get rid of some of the starch so it doesn't turn into sticky rice unless that's your goal.Beeswax
- Dude if you’re draining rice you’re doing it wrong. Use the right amount of water.monospaced
- Don't knock it til you try it mono. So satisfying draining that nasty water after boilingBonSeff
- That Hersha Patel style https://www.youtube.…imbecile
- That vid lolYakuZoku
- https://media.tenor.…pango
- I can't with you rice drainers ...pango
- Sorry, I can knock it. Washing rice is mandatory, but boiling and draining is incorrect. The water isn’t “nasty” either. You’re using way too much.monospaced
- Uncle Roger is right. “If your rice is too wet you fucked up.” Draining rice? Hiyaaaa...monospaced
- @mono - actually, the entiriety of India cooks rice using loads of water. I've gone back to doing it that way - I much prfer the result and it's less faff.Nairn
- I think I if I had an actual rice cooker it'd be more predictable, but I found that doing it the E.Asian way led to failure more often than I liked.Nairn
- I can't with you starchy, nasty water absorbersBonSeff
- Which is to say, you may prefer to do it one way. but it is not 'correct' or better, it's just a particular method that works for you and others.Nairn
- Never mind that they cook rice completely different in Spain and Italy too... are they wrong?Nairn
- Fiucking rice elitists! And holy fuck uncle roger is so punchableBonSeff
- Cooking rice like pasta reduces arsenic as it releases into the cooking water and drains off after cooking because arsenic is water soluble.BonSeff
- If you cook rice the traditional way with approximately a 2:1 ratio of water to rice, the arsenic stays in the rice.BonSeff
- The arsenic in rice thing is a LOT to do with variety and region grown in - I remember looking into it when kid first started eating food...Nairn
- ..and whilst it was hard to get har figures, the imopression I had was that basmati was a safer option. Also, you have to eat a LOT of rice, continually, and...Nairn
- ..without other foodstuffs that mediate absorption.Nairn
- But yeah, wash your rice, people :) Some people (eg. shapesalad) soak it overnight, but I can't see that resulting in a nice firm grain. I may be wrong.Nairn
- I am talking about long grain brown, i eat 1/3 cup dailyBonSeff
- my system is just part of my dinner routine. it works without fail. so, it stays. lolBonSeff
- A third of a cup daily isn't much by 'Asian standards' :)Nairn

I play 6-a-side football once a week on a Monday night. I'm 47 and after most games I feel totally fucked. Like i've put a good shift in. This week I felt more fucked than usual but had to remember that i'm playing with another guy who's 68, had a stroke several years ago, and he's still up for it.
Don't let age define you!

- I’ve seen almost every Sandler movie but never heard one song by SwfitieRamanisky2
- Couldn't name a Swiftie, but could name a thousand times Sandler didn't make me laugh.garbage
- Funniest thing he ever did was accidental. When the Sony email hack happened, it was mostly people calling him an asshole..garbage
- ..and complaining about how unfunny he was. Picture some higher-ups at Sony going MST3K on the Sandman.garbage
- The new Sandler move Spaceman is pretty good! And Uncut Gems is great, but stressful.Frosty_spl
- Plenty of good stuff from both of them... plenty of subpar crap from both of them.PonyBoy
- This is so unlikely. Are you saying you didn’t watch ANY SNL clips or episodes with him ever?monospaced
- I agree, he's been pretty inescapable for decades. Never intentionally made me laugh, but I will say his dress sense is hilarious.garbage
- He's fat, but he wears the clothes of a fatter college kid.garbage
- Sandler is 100% unacceptable. Almost as bad as Jim Carrey.CyBrainX
- Punch Drunk Love is an all time great movie. You old bastardbogue
- That's his one exception of a decent movie, back Carrey did his serious film. It's certainly not an "all time great".garbage
- Billy Madison is a masterpiecemonospaced
- Adam Sandler has done a 180 on me in the last few years. i still refuse to watch his older stuff, but the serious stuff he’s been putting out lately is great.scruffics
- Billy Madison is a masterpiece to the brains of 5-year-olds. That vehicle is running on nostalgia fumes.garbage
- Nostalgia is one of the earliest signs you're getting old if it's as unwarranted as an Adam Sandler movie.CyBrainX

IF i forget to take the pills, it's a bad scene.ideaist - I got one too, welcome to being old.GuyFawkes

My mate who has a slowly worsening autoimmune disease sent me the tune he wants at his funeral today.
- Oh shit. Well, at the very least he has you and you should be proud of the how much you mean to him.
You're a good egg, PhanLo.Nairn - Cheers Nairn. ❤ He's still online dating so I was hoping it was just part of his prepping for the inevitable. The guy was always so health conscious...PhanLo
- ...compared with the others in our friend group. So many times I'd stay at his student flat super drunk and he'd be out before I got up doing a cycle.PhanLo
- Woah... My best friend, from when I was younger, is in the same situation. Sad!!
I'm sure you'll fulfill his wish, phanOBBTKN - What's the song?palimpsest

- is it a male or female that is going to put the finger up your arse?milfhunter
- Mine was female. Then she said she needed a witness, so a young female nurse sat and watched. They would have normally got a man to do it, but there weren'tcherub
