If cabs were willing to give me accurate estimates on cost of trip I would use them way more. Sitting in the cab watching the meter tick up stresses me out

YSK: even modest increases in time spent outdoors significantly reduces a child's odds of developing short-sightedness
Reply in thread
Then you were likely genetically predetermined to be at least a little myopic, but if you spent less time outside during your developmental phases you would likely be even more nearsighted than you are now.

Well, you see, in ancient rome they spoke Latin instead of english. The roman Caesar is the origin of both the german Kaiser and the Russian Tsar/Czar. Kai-sar was how it would be pronounced in latin

If you are not in a tech field, what got you into self-hosting?
I reached a breaking point with the number of SaaS that I was having to pay for monthly, so I started taking steps to eliminate my subscriptions one by one

Yes. I had a guy who got upset because they switched to the digital board for the eyesight exam for his amateur piloting recert so he can't just memorize the letters anymore

A vertical mouse that doesn't break down
I used to be on the MX verticals too, but I have found a new love in the Protoarc EM11 NL vertical mouse. It is a higher quality product than it has any right to be for the price, and anyone here who likes vert mice I urge to try it. Still on my first but I bought another one for the office and another for a friend.

Razer kishi (OP) is pretty good, I've personally been a fan of the 8bitdo ultimate mobile controller. I've found the build quality to be very similar or better than other controllers I've used, and it's like half the price of most of them. https://www.8bitdo.com/ultimate-mobile-gaming-controller/

Is this a blue, gray-blue, or gray eye?
Fun fact! While brown eyes are brown due to pigmentation, blue/green/grey eyes are the colour they are for the same reason the sky is blue: the way the light bends when it passes through a barrier. In both the case of light passing through the atmosphere and light passing through your cornea, blue/green light has just the right wavelength that when the light scatters as it reflects back out, some colours are more visible than others. Depending on the small amount of pigmentation you do have and the lighting conditions you are in, the eye may appear blue, grey-blue or green. All the way grey eyes are more rare and require slightly abnormal corneas. In this particular picture I would say it looks like blue to me.

Did you get that from Koi Me The Horizon or just happened to source the image from wherever they sourced the koi footage? Or am I horribly misguided
