Yeah I do that whenever I think to.

When I lost my glasses I did lots of eye exercises regularly. I bought an eye patch and would throw a ball up in the air focusing on it. I'd also wear the eye patch over my stronger eye to work my weaker one more.

Focusing on distant objects & then closer objects helps work the eye muscles.

It was true for me.

My initial prescription was -0.25 and ended up at -1.75 a decade later. Every time I went to the eye doctor, I walked out with a new script.

I couldn't afford to replace my broken glasses during the GFC so stopped wearing them.

I haven't worn them since.

I'm not sure what I'll do if my eyes start deteriorating. Eye exercises?

I don't know. But studies have shown that myopia develops in children who don't play outdoors very much, and does not develop in children who do spend a lot of time outdoors (people used to think it had to do with reading books). Late-onset myopia (e.g. in your 20s/30s) tends to develop from heavy computer/screen usage where you don't refocus your eyes and just look at the same distance object for long periods of time. The best thing for your eyes is to look at things off in the distance, either by going outside, or putting your computer in front of a window so you can keep looking into the distance (not sure that has been studied though). You can also get some glasses looking things that you flip which go from +2 to -2 or something to force you to exercise your cilia muscle (the one bending your lens and focusing), not to make it stronger but to stop it from spasming.

Myopia is caused by your eyeball growing longer. It is not about muscles being weak . It is not going to grow shorter. Wearing glasses could make it worse, yes, but I don't think you can make it better by eye-exercizing yourself out of the condition. Once you have it, you have it for life. Most people wear the glasses because they want to see clearly, even if it gets worse, because they can always just get a new prescription and continue to see clearly.

You’ve either been at this longer than I or have better friends. I have a bet with my dad right now against his stock pick, bitcoin is doing better.

The “do you have a share yet”, is kinda like if he asked me if i was winning playing video games lol

GM #freeple of the #nostrverse. Get strong and do lots of stuff you like to do. #grownostr #global

To get a whole share? Maybe lol

who will score first or 0-0 90 mins?

Do I use the correct lingo with my father or continue telling him I don’t have a whole share of Bitcoin?

I don't know--if you do an experiment please share the results.

"Don't strive to solve - said as if you read my mind. The world is a MYSTERY This, everything you look at, is not everything there is. The world has so much more things, so much that it is endless. When you're looking for the answer, all you really do is try to make the world familiar.

You have to take responsibility for being in a strange world - he said. We're in a strange world, you must know. Head banging in a statement - We're not talking about the same - he said. For you the world is strange because when you are not bored you are hostile with it. For me the world is strange because it is wonderful, scary, mysterious, impenetrable; my interest has been to convince you that you should take responsibility for being here, in this wonderful world, in this wonderful desert, in this wonderful time. I wanted to convince you that you should learn to make each act count, because you will be here only a little, in fact, very short to witness all the wonders that exist... "

They're in an exposed area with no installed irrigation. We're planning on just harvesting for genetics until we can get a better place. Mulching would have helped, but I think they would have needed more shade too.

Mosquitos while camping?

"The best part of deterring bugs is Folgers in your cup. I know it's the time of year that everyone is outside late and everyone uses a ton of bug spray and chemicals... but if you want a simple way to keep mosquitoes away without all the sticky sprays and chemicals simply get you some ground coffee in a heat safe bowl and light it like you would a candle until you get a steady stream of smoke.

It doesn't smell awful and will keep mosquitoes away from a good size area . Mosquitoes hate coffee (Google it if you don't believe me 🥴) and burning it keeps them far away... You're welcome"- credit 'Grandma's Recipes' on Facebook (has anyone tried this?)
