wtf did I just see? A bright object in the sky, orange-red and flickering, it seemed to be on fire. Roughly kite-shaped and appeared to be traveling slowly and perhaps rising or else traveling level. Hard to ay how far away it was but it seemed like a couple of miles or so. Freaky as hell for sure.

Reader glasses inserts for goggles - anyone tried them? Good? Bad? Indifferent? Checking phone on the chair is getting annoyingly difficult without glasses… same goes for bike riding…

How come we're still using pennies? I mean, isn't it time to just start rounding up or down on small cash transactions? Haven't other countries with similar currency values stopped using them?

From what I've heard, the zinc lobby is very powerful (newer pennies are copper plated zinc, 97.5% zinc and 2.5% copper).

We Canucks gave up the physical penny a few years ago now. It only exists for electronic money, the price is just rounded to the nearest $.05 for cash transactions. Seems to work alright. The odd penny still makes an appearance when cleaning out desk drawers or storage boxes.

[Mazderati]

Don't nickel and dime me, bro.

[Timberridge]

A Canadian penny was like 0.007 US.

[Ted Striker]

There’s pince nez readers that you peel and stick to the back of your phone.
They are handy.

I have had BPPV and it sucks ass. Sorry, mang. At my worst I recall crawling on the floor to open the back door to let the dog out.

Definitely find people who specialize in this shit, the Eppley Maneuver did wonders for me the first time (I think that's the name of it), and the next time a PT gave me some at-home things to do that also helped it subside. Haven't had it in a while now. *knocks wood* The first doc I saw couldn't do shit, although he luckily did connect me with the guy who did the Eppley thing.
