I’ve worn progressive lenses for nearly 10 years now. I did get one pair on the cheap, and they were truly awful, unusable. That’s when I figured out that going cheap with progressive lenses isn’t worth it. That may be what has happened to you. Even with good lenses, it takes me a few days, maybe a week to get used to them when I get a new pair. Stairs are… difficult though, especially going down. I live in a busy European city, so I use public transport a lot, and that means lots of stairs. I can no longer run up and down them like I used to.

Why the hell would the rail companies object to a standardised ticketing platform.or through tickets?

Did they just make it much cheaper to build data centres outside if the US?

I’m lucky, I’ll be retiring in 10 years. At that point, I’m going to disconnect. I’ve got plenty of books to read and a guitar. That should keep me happy.

That would kill ATMs and a bunch of other things. Work from home, too, but I doubt the government cares about that much.

Diplomatic car to a small, private airport.

We had a black cat called WYSIWYG. She wasn’t one of those feeble metal cats, she was punk rock, through and through. She destroyed so much… including her own tooth. She settled down eventually, but fuck me, it took a while.

Well, that’s it, folks - I think we’ve found this years winner!

I’m just a European trying to figure out what the options are…

Is the republican any better? How easy is it to replace him as the Democratic candidate?

Write, email, telephone- whatever works best for you.

This hasn’t been ratified, so it doesn’t mean anything yet.

It’s not been ratified yet. Time to put pressure on our MPs.
