Missing the rust belt and the Bible belt...

Towns and cities should restructure more to a self sustainable way, so people don't have to travel as far as often.

My personal example is that I live in a very bicycle friendly city, but at the same time we don't have a bicycle shop anymore to buy tires and chains and shit..

We need a bike shop here!

I had a ColecoVision with the Atari 2600 adapter. Yes, they made an adapter for it.

Does this work on cum stains as well? 🤔

Say what you want, I don't give a flying fuck.

At least I'm not a stupid chatbot and actually have a real life.

Goodbye.

Again, did you miss my point? Apparently so, I grew up outdoors. I learned to drive a stick shift and learned how to shoot a gun before I even had glasses.

That doesn't mean it was appropriate the ways they taught me, but still I was an outdoors kid, I wasn't stuck in a fucking room..

But I was still literally born nearsighted.

Yep. My first diagnosis was -3.5 for the left, -3.75 for the right. Yes it degrades over time. Very slowly though.

These days, I find that my outdated lenses do better than my recent lenses, when I use my old left lens for my right eye.

Yes. Out there? Out everywhere? Yes..

Did everyone miss my point? I didn't grow up stuck inside so often, I spent a LOT of time outdoors. Hell, the first book I ever read was a survival manual.

I even learned to drive a stick shift at age 7, before I even got glasses. So I still stand by the opinion that indoor vs outdoor environment makes fuckall nothing to do with nearsightedness.

You're either born with it or you aren't. It's all about the shape of the eye.

I spent more time outdoors than indoors.

 
 

I dunno, English is a funny language isn't it 😂

 

And why the hell are they even associated in the first place?

 
 
 

I've never seen a green mosquito before...

 
 

A gift from my Calculus teacher upon graduation.

Yes manual included. Sadly the 0 (zero) button no longer works, due to battery corrosion... ☹️

 

This is the calculator that got me through junior high and high school. It even handles fractions, which is what you see on the display there.

355/113 is a very close approximation of PI, accurate to 6 decimal places.

Yes the calculator also has a proper constant for PI, but 355/113 is a pretty nifty trick in it of itself.

355/113 = 3.14159292, at least on this calculator.
