Eye Update
Well, apparently I'm healing snowly, but I am healing. When they do PRK, they scrape away your epithelial layer of your lens. Then they laze your cornea. The epithelial has to yeal itself closed, and it does so like a hurricane going backwards, healing from the outside in.
I think that's why my vision gets briefly sharp when I put in artificial tears -- the liquid fills in the missing part of my epithelial, and for one or two eyeblinks, I have 20/25 vision. I'm mostly closed but not completely. I had a weekend of decent vision -- not good, but okay -- and today I've gone backwards into poor vision. But I'm told that kind of fluctuation is normal, too. Still not there yet, and it's still almost impossible to read, but I'm told this is just slower-than-normal and that one of these days I'm going to have a sudden leap in clarity. One of these days. Meanwhile -- is the left creating a Climate of Hate that impelled this fellow traveller to come to Las Vegas in order to assassinate Donald Trump? Funny how only political speech the left doesn't like can be charged with creating these so-called Climates of Hate.Comments

Motor won't rev because it's feeling no resistance and clutch is non-responsive.

In the LASIK I had, they were supposed to cut a flap of cornea, fold it back, ablate with the laser, and then flip the flap back into place. By creating a "hinge", rather than completely removing the front of the cornea and then trying to place it back after the laser ablation, the correction for astigmatism and things was better because the orientation of that piece was held in place better.
Dunno if that makes sense.
Anyway, the doctor had a hard time getting the "flap cutter" to stick to my eyeball, and he had to change a fitting. Don't know if that was the issue, but it cut all the way through.
Which, not the end of the world. Thats the way original LASIK was done. But my doc got completely wigged out and then would not do my second eye, not until the first one healed.
Well, it did not heal great, not for a long time. Vision was cloudy cloudy cloudy, and was not correctable--I did not have astigmatism, or spherical correction, that they could measure and correct. It was just blurry as crap.
Meanwhile, I could not see. My spherical correction was over 9 diopters, which is a ton. I could not wear a contact in my not-yet-LASIK'd eye because that would change it's geometry and mess up the surgery. But if I wore my glasses (with one lens poked out) I got two images of what I was trying to see. One relatively clear (as corrected by my glasses) one blurry (from the slowly healing eye) but, and this is the fun part, the images were different sizes.
This has to do with the physical size of the image on the retina after the light has been "refocused" by the lens of the glasses out in front of the eye.
It was maddening. I could not read, or work on a computer. I also could not take a month off from work, as time stretched out. Eventually the doc gave me a modified contact prescription to put in my not-yet-fixed eye, and that made the overlapping images very nearly the same, and I could work most of a day with that.
Second surgery went great, if you don't count the fact that the anesthetic didn't work and I very much felt the "flap" being cut in my second eye. Knowing your eye is being operated on is a pretty good motivation to hold still even as it's being sliced. But not fun.
Second surgery was a great success. I never got to 20/20 in the first eye (my right) and it would get dry for the next 10 years or so. But I'm left eye dominant (but right handed, which makes shooting fun), and that eye is 20/20 or better, so win. I never think about it anymore unless someone brings up eye surgery.

I don't get that.
Centrifugal clutches are a series of weighted shoes retained by some combination of springs, counterweights, and linkage. Most are pretty simple.
Their engagement is purely a function of engine RPM, and the engine's ability to handle the load at speed as the clutch starts to bite.
Does the engine rev normally to the speed where you'd expect the vehicle to start moving? Does the clutch engage too soon? Does it engage abruptly and stall the engine? Does it just not engage?

Right now there is a sort of related situation, the guy who drained the blood out of a female British MP last week bought some how-to-make-a-zip-gun flyer from a US right-wing-crank source some time ago.
He did not, in fact, use anything like that in the crime, one report said it was a sawed-off shotgun (he attacked her first with a knife, when someone else tried to wrestle him off he pulled out the gun) but I'm trying to figure out what kind of sawed-off shotgun would allow him to put three rounds in the victim.

Aetius, I've been reading Norman Davies' Rising 44, which talks about the various German occupations of Poland prior to 1939. All accounts indicate that they were very humane, that they treated the Poles well, and actually had some beneficial infrastructure and administration created that they had the Poles take over.
That was one of the reasons the Poles (and Polish Jews) were essentially obliterated in 1939 and onward-they expected the Germans to behave as they before, and were blind-sided by Hitler and the Nazi's vicious determination to get rid of them all.
It is also why Jan Karski's reports of the atrocities in the concentration camps were ignored in Britain and the US-the leaders, such as FDR, Cordell Hull, and others assumed it was the false atrocity stories of WWI, and refused to believe them, until the evidence was so incontrovertible, they had to believe. I believe it's one of the major reasons it took the allies so long to deal with the concentration camps and the asylum for European Jews.

I didn't realize you had PRK - no one has that anymore. I did. The healing was torture and so now I understand what you've been going through.
I explained it to someone once - the first day was like I had giant logs in my eyes. The 2nd day they were sticks. The 3rd day was more like toothpicks.
The remained of the time, the pain didn't register as much, but yes, I got excellent at putting in eyedrops while walking down the street. It took 6 months before they felt normal and even now, (after 10 years) I don't rub one of my eyes due to some weird pain that happens when I do.
They gave me that bull about being "unusual" as a healer too. I am still not sure I buy it.
BUT - every single day I am grateful to have had this done!! Every day. Not just some days.
Would I have it done again if i needed it to be done again? - no way in hell. But you will love this!! Congratulations
(ps - my doc tells me that prk has proven to be the better procedure over lasik)

The votes on today's gun control amendments:
Grassley Amendment failed 53-47. Sen. Joe Donnelly (D-IN) joined Republicans, while Sens. Mark Kirk (R-IL) and Cory Gardner (R-CO) broke ranks to join Democrats.
Murphy Amendment to expand background checks fails 56-44 vote. Sen. Mark Kirk (R-IL) joined Democrats, while Sens. Joe Manchin (R-WV), Jon Tester (D-MT), and Heidi Heitkamp (D-ND) broke ranks and voted with the Republicans in opposition.
Cornyn Amendment that would require law enforcement to be notified of a gun purchase from someone on a terror watch list fails 53-47. The amendment would also empower the attorney general to block that sale for up to three days pending a review. Sens. Joe Donnelly (D-IN) and Joe Manchin (D-WV) were the two Democratic yeas. Sens. Susan Collins (R-ME), Jeff Flake (R-AZ) and Mark Kirk (R-IL) were the GOP nays.
Feinsteins no-fly, no-buy amendment that would bar people on terror watch lists from buying guns, despite the lack of due process of law, goes down in a 53-47 vote. Republican Sens. Kelly Ayotte (R-NH) and Mark Kirk (R-IL) joined Republicans, while Sen. Heidi Heitkamp (D-ND) broke with Democrats to vote against the measure.

concentration camps were ignored in Britain and the US-the leaders, such
as FDR, Cordell Hull, and others assumed it was the false atrocity
stories of WWI, and refused to believe them, until the evidence was so
incontrovertible, they had to believe. I believe it's one of the major
reasons it took the allies so long to deal with the concentration camps
and the asylum for European Jews.
Let's not forget a healthy dose of antisemitism amongst Great Britain's aristocracy/ruling elite.

I have gimp and the only thing I can do with it is resize images, and for a long time that was the only use I had for it until the resize option became available in other packages.
I watched a youtube demo of some guy doing some amazing stuff with gimp, stuff you would do with photoshop, but don't get me started on Adobe either.
And Microsoft applications are not much better. Right now I'm using image editing software from Nikon and even that has me screaming at the computer on occasion.
When I went from MSDOS, to Windows 1.0 I actually called Microsoft to scream at them about reverting to Egyptian Hieroglyphica was not an improvement.
You might conclude that I am resistant to change.

A valid point to the trustworthiness of the source. My hesitation is just from a professor in college pointing out that first person sources, while invaluable, also tend to be the most unreliable. You are getting the sources bias unfiltered, and taking it as gospel can be tricky without corroboration. Since the show used primarily this child's writing to relate the events in Belgium (probably for impact), it seemed a bit hinky to me. I am not questioning the kid's veracity, merely the documentary for focusing so heavily on it.

In theory such laws would be unconstituonal since the First Amendment is incorporated through the 14th to apply to the states. In practice you have to work it though the appeals process and hope that a) SCOTUS grants certiorari and b) does the right thing with its ruling.

"The U.S. Senate is expected to vote today on four gun-related proposals offered as amendments to the Commerce, Justice and Science Appropriations bill. NSSF urges you to call your U.S. Senators' offices to urge them to oppose old and previously defeated gun-control measures now being sponsored under a new anti-terrorism label by Sens. Feinstein, Schumer, Murphy and Booker.
We are all united in wanting to stop terrorism. We must, however, oppose efforts that will do nothing to stop terrorist acts, but that will advance old and previously defeated gun-control measures under a new label while denying due process and Second Amendment rights.
The best measures to protect Second Amendment and due process rights are being introduced by Sens. Cornyn and Grassley. Sen. Cornyn's bill would require a court order for the Justice Department to block gun sales to persons on the problem-plagued terrorist watch. Sen. Grassley's bill would ensure adequate funding and encourage states to submit all appropriate records to the National Instant Criminal Background Check System (NICS) and not expand the system.
The U.S. Capitol Switchboard is being flooded with calls from both sides of this issue.
Look up your U.S. Senators' office number at www.senate.gov/senators/contact/.

The 'Supremes' just recently voted not to hear the cases brought to them where states already outlawed semiautomatic weapons.
If a bunch of liberals in black robes can decide that its OK for the state to sterilize people because they're not up to society's standards, or declare a health care plan a tax just to save it from being shit canned, why would you think they should have any opinion on the constitutionality of a state law that seems blatantly unconstitutional if it doesn't suit their party's narrative?

Ace, a few years ago I had a couple of cataracts removed, replacing the lenses with implants. I was told it would be a 'couple of days,' it was more like 3-4 weeks and I was about ready to lose my shit.
Turned out everything was great, they just gave me an overoptimistic healing time estimate. Be patient. All will be well - almost certainly.

This happened with France, Russia and other countries as well.
The Government always rules at the will of the people.
If they have no will then Government is strong, say like N. Korea.
The liberals (Democrats by the way have always opposed the republican form of government because it's less easy to manipulate when the Representatives are citizens and patriots. They tell you in their name what they are. Democracy {pure} is the worst form of government. It's mob rule and easily led astray) have been working towards making the citizens weak and complacent. When that wasn't working fast enough they started to take action to import such an electorate. The Muslims are being brought in as a threat and counter balance to the Christians.
They are now going to accept any immigrant regardless of documentation and I would guess that soon certain local governments will hire them for their Law Enforcement.
Welcome to a foreign mercenary army on our shores for the first time in 250 years.

There are three theodicies:
a) people are inherently evil. God as the righteous judge cannot be morably culpable for his punishments, either temporal or eternal. Also, God is sovereign over His creation. See Romans 9
b) Suffering can build character, "He chastiseth thsons, not the bastard", as Hebrews puts it.
c) In the perspective of eternal fellowship with God in Heaven, the sufferings of this life will shrink to microscopic insignificance. I forget the exact passage, but it is a Pauline epistle.
d) we simply are not in a position to know all the relevant facts, and it is arrogant to think we are. (Think Job).
Not saying I agree, but those are the Biblical theodicies.
They do not always sit well emotionally, and it would not be pastoral to drily assert them to a grieving congregant.

The hipsters and liberals with money are all beating feet to visit Cuba. They want to see a third world shithole "before it changes." The 1950's cars are sooo quaint. My local TV stations are all running stories about the hot, new vacation spot.

I have had a few procedures/mishaps (broken ankle, etc.) not to mention having five babies. Every doctor has told me I'm a "slow healer," meaning that my cast had to stay on longer, etc.
Everything heals and then stays healed. I am very healthy otherwise, just a Slow Healer, I guess.
So follow the doctor's orders (side note: the first OB/GYN I had told me he chose that as his specialty, not because he loved bringing new life into the world, as I enthusiastically guessed, but because women follow doctor's orders better than men do. He was German.).

Down at the Salty Sam Seafood Café
and somewhere 'tween the clam juice and the seaweed salad
some little shrimp just lured her away
Oh, I lobster and never flounder
He wrapped his line around her
and they drove off in his carp
Oh, I lobster and never flounder
I octopus his face in

I was taught that a basic legal principle was that statutes had to be read using the plain meaning of the text.
That we have become unmoored from that, intended by the left, is what has me so freaked out.
German jurists were told by the Nazis that they should no longer interpret the text of laws but to interpret the law " with respect for he healthy feeling of the Volk."

I went through your surgery plus (and I don't want to borrow trouble here) a retinal detachment and came through with flying colors. It is tough. I know. Been there. Don't sweat the fluctuations in your vision.
And stay off the friggen computer and its pixellated images that your eyeballs are struggling to bring into focus. It's just not possible. So read a book, or better yet, just quietly stare into space and think about something else. Developing a rich inner life is the key to success.
