One of the fun things about blue eyes, at least with me, is when I walk out from indoors into bright sunshine, I sneeze. Almost all the time, and not just once. Even if I'm outside, and the sun is bright enough, a sneeze. Winter or summer. There's gotta be a country song about 'sunshine making my blue eyes sneeze'. And if there isn't, there should be.

>>> Wikipedia agrees. Non-brown eyes are a case of "structural color," like butterfly wings.
Posted by: mikeski at June 27, 2025 10:42 PM (DgGvY) When you have really crappy eyesight you get use to another variety of false color that comes with high index of refraction lenses. Similar to leaded glass or dense crystal these types of glasses will cause colors to be split and images offset. Generally not dead center but quite often in your peripheral vision or side glances you'll have Chromatic aberrations. Early on it would drive me crazy but I guess I just got used to everything looking funky sometimes. For instance a blinking white light you'll actually see as a blinking red light close to a blinking blue light. Posted by: banana Dream at June 27, 2025 10:50 PM (cduTK) 161

Lawyers are wonderful, the barrister is the kindest, bravest, warmest, most wonderful human being I've ever known in my life.
--------- Barristers are actually badass. FUN FACT: A barrister never works in a law firm. Barristers are always independent contractors, and most have offices in a "chambers" that houses independent barristers who practice in a specific area. A barrister's client is never a non-lawyer. The barrister's client is the solicitor who has the actual litigant client. Even the Crown doesn't try its own cases. It hires a barrister to handle the trial of its criminal cases.

When you have really crappy eyesight you get use to another variety of false color that comes with high index of refraction lenses. Similar to leaded glass or dense crystal these types of glasses will cause colors to be split and images offset. Generally not dead center but quite often in your peripheral vision or side glances you'll have Chromatic aberrations.
Early on it would drive me crazy but I guess I just got used to everything looking funky sometimes. For instance a blinking white light you'll actually see as a blinking red light close to a blinking blue light. Posted by: banana Dream Mine are that bad, too. In addition to the high-index-of-refraction plastic, it's just an artifact of geometry. You cannot make a perfect lens, outside of a single focal point. The more powerful the lens has to be, the bigger the aberrations away from that point will be. Making a lens with minimal spherical aberration, and thus maximal chromatic aberration, is the best choice for eyeglasses, usually. I'd rather watch LED lights go wandering a bit when I see them out of the corner of my eyes, than have everything go all fisheye-lens or funhouse-mirror.....

Douchebag lawyer cyclist should be disbarred and sent to prison for his voice alone. Plus being a lawyer. And a cyclist. And a douchebag. Posted by: Hadrian the Seventh at June 27, 2025 10:52 PM (/HVsR) I had a d-bag cyclist of similar age to that guy pull a stupid move in front of me in a 50 mph zone approaching a light. He wanted to change lanes in front of me so he could get in the left turn lane. At the light he came up to my window saying it would have been nice if I'd slowed and let him cross in front. I said 'you didn't signal - I didn't know what you were doing'. He got all huffy saying 'I'm going downhill 35 mph and you expect me to signal? I rolled up my window and ignored the stupid bastard.

The air is mostly transparent, but as da Vinci noted, distant vistas appear bluish. The sky is blue due to Rayleigh scattering among clusters of molecules. Rayleigh scattering goes as1/λ^4, where λ is the wavelength of the light. Since blue light is roughly half the wavelength of red light, blue light is scattered more efficiently than red leading to the blue color of the overhead sky. Since the electric field is perpendicular to the ray of sunlight that gets scattered overhead, the blue light is strongly polarized perpendicular to say the overhead zenith and a line to the sun. This is why photographers always use a Polaroid filter when they photograph the blue sky: by manipulating the filter they can make the sky appear to be a much darker blue than seen by the naked eye. That the sky overhead is blue is also why the sun at sunset and sunrise is red: since the sun is at the limb of the horizon, the light from it passes through a long column of air horizontally, and all the blue light is scattered out of it sideways, leaving what you see as red. Now, would you like to discuss other aspects of light and color in nature?

While I was riding a bike a lot in my youth, pretty cheap transportation and good exercise, I never wore a uniform, just a helmet. I had a front and read light generated by my wheels. I never rode on a main drag except for short distances as a connector to a more back road route, using hand signals every time.
It wasn't difficult and I never had a problem. Except people creeping out to turn, blocking a turn. Happens to cars, too. Asshole drivers. Just like asshole bike riders. I never 'owned' the road. I took physics. Didn't do too well but well enough to understand the force of a 2,000 car going 40 miles per hour on a human body protected by a bike. Sorry for the math.

Earlier this week, seven Iranian nationals were arrested at the same address—including individuals on the FBI Terror Watchlist and associates of an Iranian human trafficking network. The location has been repeatedly used to harbor illegal entrants linked to terrorism. Posted by: Braenyard - some Absent Friends are more equal than others _ at June 28, 2025 12:07 AM (VUQgh) 340

Traffic circle saga Pt deux (Joe Kidd encounters Newton's Law of Motion)...
...the good news was that I successfully changed the Granada's trajectory away from the curb of the traffic circle. The bad news was that a body in motion tends to stay in motion, and without the benefit of a restraint, my body tended to stay on the previous trajectory. I slid across the bench seat and was in that moment demoted from pilot to passenger. The car was not entirely out of the roundabout, so I grabbed the wheel with my left hand and jerked it up to try to nose the car more left. In so doing, I was pushed further to the passenger side. I navigated out of the traffic circle by heaving the steering wheel hand-over-hand, like a ships' captain in a stormy sea. Exiting the circle, I coasted to a stop and pulled over to catch my breath. There were no other cars on the road, thankfully, but then I imagined what this must have looked like to someone following and could not stop laughing. God looks after the drunks and the fools, and since I wasn't drinking that night, it was obvious which one I was.

You shouldn’t call the colors displayed by a glass prism “structural” color. That’s best reserved for interference effects in layered structures like oil slicks on water or colors in a butterfly’s wing. The classic “spectrum” as discussed by Newton in his book Opticks (also available in Dover reprint) is explained by geometric optics coupled with the fact that transparent solid media have a slightly different index of refraction depending on the wavelength of the light. Or are you going to look through the prism as Goethe did, misunderstanding Newton’s experiment entirely?

Stuff and nonsense! The layered elements may be made of brown melanin, but the color of an eye is what you see[ when you look at an iris! You are misusing words, probably because you don’t know the established nomenclature. This area of physics is well established, and we who are familiar with it have agreed on what the words mean.

I finally looked at the Wikipedia entry on Eye color. It explains the phenomena poorly. A cursory reading might lead one to believe all eyes are brown: that is confusing pigment with color. Look at the jpeg illustrations on the page: there are blue eyes, and green eyes, and yes, brown eyes, lots of brown eyes, for whatever reason. Eye color is the color you see when you look at someone’s eyes, simple as that (unless you suffer from color blindness, or some other vision deficiency).

So there was a six-alarm fire in a relatively newly-built (1-2 years old) apartment complex just north of us earlier this week, apparently due to some electrical issue. We just happened to be out and had to detour getting home because fire trucks were lined up front to back all along a couple of neighborhood streets.
Over 800 residents were affected (we had no idea that many people lived in that part of the building. The fire started on the roof; the fifth floor pancaked down to the second floor. The residents who were affected are upset that they aren't being allowed back into their apartments to get their belongings. Apparently they haven't quite grasped that their belongings are buried under several feet of charred building material. Interestingly enough, our neighborhood immediately south of this new building is full to the brim with 100+-year-old tinder boxes which are still standing - I am sure that more than a few of them have really old wiring in them.

You know, you can trim a cat’s claws. There are special clippers made for it. Now, you have to have the cat’s trust and know what you are doing, but, alternatively, you could have it done by your vet (or more likely your vet’s vet tech). I have frequently asked the vet to trim my cats’ claws when I have them in for other reasons, as I am not as deft as my late wife, who worked as a vet tech before I met her.

When it comes to cats, I guess I was lucky. My friend turned roommate had rehomed a cat from a friend's parents. They were downsizing and could only take one pet. The dog went with them and the cat went. So Belle ended up with my friend.

I knew a young Electrical Engineer who thought he had shut off the power to a panel. He was poking around in the guts of it with a screwdriver when he discovered he was in grave error. Fortunately, he wasn't hurt. He was somewhat perturbed when, at his farewell party, he was presented with a plaque with the culprit screwdriver mounted to it. All that remained was the handle and an inch of shaft. The rest had disappeared in the arc.

414 Hi, Teresa in Fort Worth! I saw your post just above my latest. How are you doing? I have been praying for your health and have talked with the Elder who is my prayer group’s leader to pray for you collectively. I hope you don’t mind.
Posted by: NemoMeImpuneLacessit at June 28, 2025 01:32 AM (zv9VK) Of course I don't mind! That is so sweet of you, and greatly appreciated by me and my family. We know that lots of prayers are being lifted on my behalf, and we are truly grateful and humbled. I am doing well, although today I was tireder than I think I have been through this whole thing. I don't know if it was the heat or that I metaphorically hit the wall. Several side effects seem to have happened in rapid succession over the last week or so - which is apparently "right on track" for this medication. All of my fingernails and toenails are starting to hurt - I can look forward to them lifting and possibly falling off over the next few months. My mouth, eyes, and nose are all drying up to the point that anything that I can't eat without having to drink copious amounts of liquid just to get the food to go down (continued) Posted by: Teresa in Fort Worth, Plucky Comic Relief, AoS Ladies Brigade - Eat the Cheesecake, Buy the Yarn. at June 28, 2025 01:51 AM (SRRAx) 430

(Cont) I am losing my hair one strand at a time, my eyebrows are practically non-existent, and I have lost so many eyelashes that whatever moisture comes out of my eyes turns to "sand", and every morning I have to pry my eyelids open, then put a warm wet washcloth over them to get all of the gunk off of them.
I have been in relatively good spirits these past few months, all things considered, but today I just had myself a good old pity party! I really do think the heat is getting to me. Plus, my potassium level was pretty low today. I probably haven't been eating enough, either (I have plenty of reserves 😂 ![]() I'll be okay in a couple of days 😊💕 Posted by: Teresa in Fort Worth, Plucky Comic Relief, AoS Ladies Brigade - Eat the Cheesecake, Buy the Yarn. at June 28, 2025 02:01 AM (SRRAx) Posted by: JQ at June 28, 2025 02:01 AM (rdVOm) 438

The first time I was in Scotland, we were walking back to our car and we were really hungry because we had had breakfast in Northern Ireland, then flown to Scotland and driven to Glasgow and had to find the place that would set us up for our B&B in the evening and there was this place on the way back to our car called America Burgers and I thought, "Well, this oughtta be good." The burgers weren't bad, just weird, and I realized about 1/3 of the way through eating it that they had deep-fried the burger patty.

Hi, Stateless--
I sure hope *this* time, the closing goes smoothly! Blue and purple carpeting? Cool! I need to take out living room, stairway & upstairs hallway carpeting here. Old. Early 80's? Just disintegrating, plus hubby had a couple of accidents... yeesh. Posted by: JQ at June 28, 2025 02:07 AM (rdVOm) 442
Sorry to whine so much - I do have to remind myself of the blessings. I have not had any nausea to speak of, and I am not in any pain. In those regards, I am so much luckier than so many cancer patients!

Posted by: Captain Obvious, Laird o' the Sea at June 28, 2025 02:04 AM (XZ5S6) I think Scotland, or the British Isles, was the origin of the deep fried Mars or Snickers bar, I forget which. Scotland's also the home of haggis. That's all you need to know. "Mum, what's for dinner?" "Oatmeal." "No, Mum, that's breakfast! What's for dinner." "Oatmeal . . . in a cow's stomach."

----------- Wey-all, haggis is just a kind of sausage. When I was at Edinburgh Castle, I thought about trying haggis for lunch. I looked at the menu board, and it was bloody expensive. I didn't want to spend that much money for an experiment. Posted by: Captain Obvious, Laird o' the Sea at June 28, 2025 02:16 AM (XZ5S6) 451

My lame joke aside, if I had the chance, I'd like to try haggis. Properly seasoned and cooked by someone who knows what they're doing. The one time I had grilled cow stomach, I thought it was pretty tasty. That was at an Argentine steak house in Buenos Aires, so they knew cows. I figure the same goes for Scotland and their knowledge of sheep. In more ways than food.

Captain Obvious,
The gentlemen I was with order a 'parilla mixto' (pareezha meesto), a mixed grill of different organ meats served on a little habachi-type grill to keep everything warm. I did not like lung -- at all. So to me, it did not all taste the same. LOL! But I had never had organ meats before, not even the tried and true liver and onions, but when in Rome. . . . I just asked them not to tell me what I was eating before I ate it; no preconceptions that way. They laughed but didn't mind. I think they enjoyed the entertainment my reactions provided. Like you say, though, I don't think I need it often. I'd rather have grilled squid or octopus, if we're going to grill exotic food. Posted by: RickZ at June 28, 2025 02:33 AM (gKDq2) 460

One of those someethings that I tried that I absolutely love but can hardly find is smoked sea trout or smoked mackeral, served with a horseradish whipped cream sauce. OMG! Sometimes they even deign put a little green leafy thing underneath it so you can call it a salad if you want. Total waste if you ask me. But that sauce does make a good salad dressing, too, just a little on the spicy side. That's one dish I fell in love with. Had it three times: Atlantic City, Manhattan and Ocracoke Island. I'm tellin' ya, a hard to find dish. Posted by: RickZ at June 28, 2025 03:06 AM (gKDq2) 466
