I didn't even get that far. I called one for initial info and found out his "clinic" was a truck and he drove his Lasik machine to different locations thru the week. I asked him how often and how did he check his laser calibration. He said he did it once per month, sending samples in to a calibration lab and then they sent him a report a couple weeks later telling him if the laser was a-okay or if it needed adjustment.

So drive that truck around everyday, bumping that laser around. At least a months worth of patients will have their eyeballs lasered before he knew about an equipment problem. No thanks.

If you're a foreign student and not fully fluent in English, see if you can find some resources at your university to help. I would expect a UK university to have something. If you have a guidance counselor or a student resource center, those would be good places to start asking.

Taking a long time on homework or missing a deadline due to unclearly written direction in a language you're not fully comfortable with doesn't make you bad at university.

Lasik corrected my vision enough that I've had ~15 years without glasses, and can expect another 5-10 before I need reading glasses like any other aging human. The lens gets stiffer, the muscles that manipulate the lenses to focus weaken, people start to need glasses while reading to make up for it, Lasik will not stop that from happening.

So IMO, Lasik at 35+, not worth it. Lasik at 25 or under, maybe.

I also had astigmatism and went to a doctor who knew enough to use the Lasik process to counter some of it. I still have a little bit but can pass driving tests and go about daily life with no correction. I also play contact sports so not having to wear glasses was a significant mark in the pro column as well.

I also agree with others about not going to a Lasik salesman doctor. I went to a doctor who was affiliated with a hospital and did other sorts of eye surgeries.

They're probably doing that to protect the identity of any Google workers providing them with information. If they posted the actual meme, Google could possibly trace it back to an employee and fire them.

Some of the memes they do have in the article, they note they are reconstructions and not the actual memes from Googles internal channels.

I agree it's long though, they could have just recreated them and skipped the written description.

Best part of the article, hat tip to author Emanuel for how he included the correction request:

After this story was published Google's spokesperson reached out and asked us to publish a slightly different version of that statement. The new statement no longer stated that "it's critical that we maintain humans in the loop."

Corn detasseling, wine grape picking, lawn care, call center for a survey company, data analytics for a different survey company, coffee shop, restaurant host/wait staff, tree trimming, aide at a school for kids with medical needs, tier 1 IT phone support, stocking shelves over night shift in a grocery store.

That's roughly in order, starting with corn detasseling at age 13 and ending when I went to college. There were a couple others, very short lived that I don't count if I quit before training was complete. And some others highly seasonal, like a Christmas tree farm that hired me to make wreaths for a week straight before christmas a few years in a row.

Something, something, rape apologia screed in a movies community. Reported and blocked. Wtf, man.

Klingons look very different through the various shows. And more than just costuming progress of the time.

TOS:

TNG-era, the one I think most people would think of:

Discovery:

And the latest show, Academy, reverts back to TNG-era style Klingons.

I visit Phoenix for work every 1-2 years. I'm there now this week. It's always interesting to see how the Waymos have evolved. Since the last time I was out here, they have added more sensors at each corner of the vehicle. They are obviously not part of the original design, sticking out like cancer lumps.

Maybe they just to retrofit their fleet with a few more sensors that detect cops chasing them down.

Good luck. Tough to pick a more DIY-oriented bunch of hobbyists who would rather build their own hardware and compile their own software over allowing their printer to narc on them to the government.

RepRap 2: Countersurveillance Boogaloo, launching soon.

I was only 99.8% sure she knew what she was doing with that great (aryan) jeans (genes) commercial. That name convinces me she 100% knew and is now taking the MAGA crowd for every cent they have. If she doesn't have a crypto yet, it's coming and she'll advertise it while in daisy dukes.

"Officially"

Pray tell, where might one find this official handbook?
