  • I just bought a fridge after my 15 year old one shit out. Let me tell you, trying to find a decently sized, dumb fridge with an ice and water dispenser is like finding the holy grail.

    Samsung has evidently partnered with some timelords to get over 30 cu ft of fridge space in a 70"tall frame - including their door sized tablet.

    Bosch has the next biggest but locks stuff behind an smart app. Hell, even LG has smart features to help you with your ice maker that will probably either be DOA or will break in a year.

    I finally found a Whirlpool that isn’t smart and has a decent sized fridge, but it was a struggle.






  • I don’t disagree that the judiciary can’t (and shouldn’t) be considered a monolith, but aside from this decision, it’s important to know that several decisions against the administration have come from Republican appointed justices - some even Trump appointees.

    I haven’t read this decision, but if they are saying the original order was based on a federal challenge and this concentration camp could be considered a state owned and operated facility, then contesting based on a federal law wouldn’t apply.

    If we’re a betting person, I would guess this goes up on appeal, or the original plaintiffs would try a different, state statue based challenge.




  • Dude, have your pupillary distance checked. I got a pair of glasses from warby parker and used their “hold a business card to your nose so we can guess at that measurement”. This pair was instant fucking headaches until I went into one of their brick and mortar stores and they checked things.

    The focus point for my lenses was a good 5mm below where it should have been. My eyes are fucking bad and so I was basically looking through the distorted edge of high index lenses.

    A quick trip back to the shop for the lenses to get redone and now I can wear them comfortably.

    This is for anyone having issues with new glasses - if your prescription hasn’t changed that much from your prior year, but new glasses hurt or are severely uncomfortable, get that shit checked out. That shouldn’t be the case.

    For you, @OP - if you’ve always had a script but never been able to use your glasses due to headaches/motion sickness, get a different eye doctor. Don’t just go to a mall lens crafters, try to find an optometrist whose name is on the door. Tell them your symptoms. They should check your eyes for a plethora of things - maybe you’ve got astigmatism, or something else.

    It’s not normal to have a severe reaction to glasses if they’re the correct match for your eyes.
