You gotta watch O Brother, Where Art Thou. Very good film

I'm only a student in the field so NotADoctor™ but under normal conditions your tear film layer and blinking keep other liquids out of your eyes. When wearing contacts in water or when cleaning them with tapwater, there is a small amount of the fluid that gets trapped against the eye. If that fluid is fresh water contaminated with acanthamoeba, it provides ample opportunity and time for the acanthamoeba to break through the layer and the contact lens prevents it from being blinked away.

My understanding is that acanthamoeba are basically everywhere, and the contacts being worn when swimming or showering are actually one of the main factors in acanthamoeba infection. They normally eat bacteria but they are opportunistic parasites, and I guess the contact gives them the opportunity.

Seen it all, miss it dearly. RIP Edd

You'd think. If I was the one paying for it, I would be changing providers but you know how that goes. I just work here, man.

Yep, haven't had to work since I got my covid stimulus. Been on vacation ever since.

The automated voicemail transcriptions my work uses (medical office) recently switched to AI. In some cases it works really well, but if there are long periods of silence it will start to make things up. I've ended up with some pretty loopy messages when someone leaves voicemail with long silence at the end.

Thanks for letting me know I have new Neal Stephenson to read!

It's going to stay on my wishlist but I think I'll sit on it for a while Thank you for your response!

Wow! Thank you for the detailed response, based on your comments and those of the other responder I'll probably pass on it for now, I'm deeply uncomfortable enough on my own thank you.

Who knows though, it may still end up in my library later when it goes on sale. I have a bad history of that.

Is this game fun? I have seen lots of recommendations for it but the name of the game along with some of the art has me worried it's going to be deeply uncomfortable. To anyone who has played it: how would you describe the mood of the game?

There are apps for it on your phone. It was also a very popular trick by cheaters in Pokemon Go lol
