Hello, fellow Okie.

I know how this state is going to vote. It's been a given every year for nearly six decades. But I'm still gonna vote, as I have in every election since I turned 18. Change doesn't happen if those who want it get discouraged and sit their asses at home.

What has really inspired me this year is the overwhelming majority of Harris-Walz signs in my neighborhood. I stopped counting, but I reckon there are at least thirty of them. I've seen a grand total of five Trump-Vance signs, and three of them are at the same house.

Also, you get much rain last night? It was so good to finally hear thunder again. I had six tenths in my rain gauge this morning!

Update: I stood in line for an hour and a half and cast my ballot. Next time around, I'll remember to request my mail-in ballot on time lol

Obviously depends on just how bad your eyes are.

Tldr: I can see perfectly fine without glasses because I have one really good eye and one really bad eye.

I wear prescription lenses. Despite that, I can see pretty clearly without my glasses. I have a scratch on my left cornea that happened when I was 4 years old. My right eye can see better than normal because I guess it was still a developmental stage of my life? I don't know. But I can read literally every line the doctor throws at me with my right eye, and I can do it quickly. But I get stuck on the second or third line down with my left. I'm practically blind in that eye.

What happens is I look at everything through my right eye. I also have a really hard time seeing depth. Seriously, the real world looks no different than a TV screen to me. It's hard to know exactly where something is in 3D space. I've adapted mitigations for it. Like, when I'm driving, I pick points on the car I can see, and if I can't see past it, I assume my wheels are on it. I also stay way the fuck back from other cars. You see that depth perception kill me when I try to put keys in lock cylinders. I will scratch the absolute shit out of a lock. It's like I'm drunk.

But as for seeing? I can see mostly fine without my glasses. I can read things. Distant things. I can make out detail just fine. I can navigate the world perfectly. My powers of perception are pretty close to zero. Glasses don't stop me from stubbing my toes. Really, they're only there to keep my left eye from straining. And to be in compliance with the restrictions on drivers license.

My wife's sister had LASIK a few years ago. Prior to that, she was - for all intents and purposes - blind without them. Like Velma Dinkley, she could not move without them. She could make out fuzzy shapes, but she could not accurately grab an object in front of her. For her, it really was like seeing in 144p. The surgery was seriously life-changing for her.

Love that you accounted for the fact that if you rounded up a million randos, statistically, some of them will be missing a finger or two.

Not sure whether you're being facetious or if you genuinely don't know, but you link communities with an exclamation point.

Everyone knows William Hanna and Joseph Barbera were physicists first and animators/cartoonists second.

My kitchen sink is next to the water heater. It's hot in 5 seconds. My shower is on the opposite end of the house. I'd reckon it's a 2 minute wait. Sometimes, I turn the bathroom sink on and get undressed.

This reminds me of when RTGame played Cities Skylines using a world map mod and made the island of Great Britain the landfill.

I have one that takes AAA's. I power it with good old nickel rechargeable batteries.

We need to normalize things taking standard cell batteries again. When these bespoke batteries fail and nobody manufactures them anymore, the whole device is e-waste unless you can rig something up.

I've got a "portable" CD player from 1991 that takes six AA batteries. It also accepts a 9 volt barrel plug. And I still use it to play my CDs sometimes.

It's the State tree of Oklahoma. When my neighbors' redbud starts making pods, I'm gonna snag a bunch, refrigerate them over winter, then scarify and try to get a few to germinate the following spring. It takes probably 5 or so years to start getting flowers, but I really love everything about these trees, not just their awesome flowers. The heart shaped leaves they develop in summer are so cute.

Yo, the Mk III is genuinely my favorite. The Mk IV gets all the love for being in F&F, but the Mk III is just the best looking imo. Like the middle class man's Testarossa.

I don't drive the Lude at night specifically because today's lights are so bad. That, and people drive with their lights off after dark way too much. If I'm out after dark with my Prelude, I probably lost track of time running errands. Unless I'm in proximity to an older Civic or Miata, I just assume I'm completely invisible. Even more so when the sun is down. It's red so at least it stands out in broad daylight.

The things we deal with to drive the cars we love.

All that said, my other car is a '12 Civic. It's just boring. But it's also just light enough that you can kinda chuck it into an on-ramp. I think if I can one of these days, I'd love to buy another just like it, but with a stick. I kinda hate driving the Sequoia. It's great in a straight line, but it handles like a skyscraper lol

I drive a 1997 Honda Prelude.

I always park waaaaaaay in the back because there's no way otherwise. My car comes up to my waist. It's tiny by comparison. I park it in the garage by my wife's 2010 Sequoia, and the juxtaposition is hilarious.

Just gonna leave Brainrot Girlfriend here for you to read.

Hey baby, I'm nine inches tall...on my feet.

It's a serious medical condition. I don't know how I'm alive.

Can't say I've ever been to Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysiliogogogoch.

Wowza, those puppies can sure store a lot of truck pee.

Huh. I just Ctrl+P before the paywall comes up. Then I can print to a PDF and view it the way it was meant to be.

At least it was a sock and not a coconut.

What if shutting down and dissociating is relaxing to me?

I wouldn't even mind ads if they weren't so obtrusive. The ones that take up 70% of your screen between one liners are the worst.

I love soundings!
