Re: Ask an Optician
It didn't require prior training? I've always assumed any job remotely medical had to be something you planned to do and prepared for ahead of time in at least some capacity. That could well be an incorrect assumption, it's just what I've always figured. That depends partially on state law (I am of...

Re: TTRPGs
Spending XP between sessions to make a specific Skill trained/specialized gives a permanent modifier to rolls related to that Skill. (Technically it actually reduces the difficulty rating of the target roll, but that's the same effect as boosting the roll result.) If you think you will need additio...

Re: TTRPGs
I haven't played one in person before, but I've done some here in the Chatroom using Skid's homebrew of the Cypher system which were quite enjoyable. Interesting. :-k It wasn't entirely clear to me from the rules given: does the system employ some kind of ability modifier? Or is burning points for ...

TTRPGs
Does anybody here play? If so, what's your system of choice? I have never actually had the chance to play myself. Though I have gotten SO CLOSE a couple of times: first as a player (our GM basically ghosted us before we managed to play one session) and then as a GM (I was in the midst of prepping a ...

Re: Ask an Optician
If you were to ask someone else on here a series of questions, what would those questions be? I'm leading my church's adult Sunday school class this week so it would probably be something like. What (if any) is the difference between confession and repentance? What is the purpose of confession? Can...

Re: Ask an Optician
Yes! Touché. I'm sorry. I couldn't help it. O:) Green is my favorite colour by the way. What are some of the reasons you preferred pirates over ninjas? Ninjas feel like they're more about order and discipline- neither of which I am particularly good at. Whereas pirates seem to be more chaotic and b...

Re: Ask an Optician
How old do you guess was the oldest pair of glasses that you've repaired? Hmmm. I feel like most things that have actually BROKEN on really old glasses were probably irreparable...I know I've had one or two people who have brought glasses in that were 15-20 years old. Though I don't remember if it ...

Re: Ask an Optician
As an expert in glasses frames, do you think they are gender specific? (see this post ) Mmmm... sort of. The shape of the glasses in the picture you posted ARE pretty gender neutral in my opinion. With that being said, if you took all the basic black frames that we sell and piled them on my desk, a...

Re: Ask an Optician
Do you feel that an optician manually measuring the eyes (I think primarily for distance between the patient's pupils) is better than a machine doing it? The last optician I spoke to in person said it's still better (more accurate?) to do it manually. Why did you pick this field? If it's me vs any ...

Popeyes.
I kid.
The most important thing to remember is: always choose options that are fresh and locally sourced.

Re: Ask an Optician
Eyeglass stores I've been to tend to offer a lot of fancy 'features' for glasses now, like anti-glare, anti-blue-light, etc., which have the side effect of increasing the price 5x. Are those things really all that good? My answer is a resounding MAYBE. No glare can be SUPER helpful if you have issu...

Re: Random Tidbit Discussion Thread
I genuinely have no idea what you mean to be implying by that remark or how it relates to chocolate consumption. :-k My best guess is it's something about people who have snobbish palates? That's my only experience with people making reference to Lacroix, but I could be misunderstanding that as wel...
