I would replace it. Sometimes I push my luck and for minor or unexpected errors I just clear the error and re-add the drive, but this many errors is likely a solid sign.
At a glance it looks like they only have 3 different strengths and no provisions for astigmatism. My interest is in fine tuning my prescription in increments of 0.25 as well as fine tuning my astigmatism in several degree increments so it wouldn't be of much use to me.
Edit: For anyone else curious about doing this on a budget, check out "trial lens sets", it's just a case of a couple hundred lenses you can get for around $200 that includes close to what looks like every prescription under the sun, including astigmatism and prism(!!). You're be manually swapping, stacking, and keeping track of every strength but it has strengths as low as 0.12 and looks like they include frames to pop them into.
I have no idea what the machine is even called haha. It probably depends on whether you need just spherical or if you have astigmatism and need a cylindrical axis too.
You could probably partially DIY it with enough time and effort, huygen optics on YouTube does something like that, idk how complicated it is to make an astigmatism prescription.
I've thought about DIYing some of the glasses process, but only the diagnostic part. You can get that machine that lets you try basically any prescription for under like $1k, so you could use that to adjust your prescription and then try to order the actual lenses through somewhere online. Lens grinding seems tedious if you're doing it by hand without an expensive automated machine.
I think they're saying that this doesn't make the prescription. This copies the shape of the model lens but you need to feed it both the model lens and a finished prescription lens made by another machine so that this machine can cut out the needed shape.
In other words, you still need machine to grind the precise prescription into a circular blank I presume.
My general experience is swiping through hundreds of people to get a few matches that seem promising only for none of them to respond to my intro messages (which I do take the time to write something unique and related to interests on their profile). The few that do respond typically stop responding after a day or two, I usually give it a couple weeks and then unmatch. Rinse and repeat for about a year and I might eventually end up managing to go out for coffee once a year, and it's really a coin toss whether a second date happens.
It's pretty discouraging but I did meet my current partner on tinder. It just takes a lot of time and patience, and not letting the experience make you disillusioned or jaded.
Yes I clearly agree, but convincing upper management of that isn't always as straightforward as suggesting another cardboard box supplier as the other commenter suggested.
The problem is uline is a 1 stop shop for many businesses to buy a whole range of supplies, not just boxes. At my last job basically everything in the office came from uline, including the desks, trash cans, hand soap, mops, the disposable cups in the kitchen, and many of the warning signs plastered around the machine shop. The problem was known then but we weren't successful in convincing them to replace uline with 5-10 other separate companies.
Lmao that and the stack of WD reds that appear to be joined together forming a single storage cube
Keep in mind that elementary is doesn't provide an in place upgrade path between major versions, I didn't realize this when I set it up for my parents so they've been stuck on one major version since I can't backup, fresh install, and restore remotely.
but I can accept that you meant it differently than typed.
I did not mean it differently than typed. I said "to me it's not a loss" and I mean that. To me it's not a loss, to them it is.
ml is a self choosen label though, so people can choose not to use it.
And people can choose to treat people the same based on that label, and I can choose to think it's immature. And at the same time I can not care if people choose to cut themselves off from ml.
You literally say it again here where you advocate for not treating everyone the same
No, I advocate for not dismissing people solely based on their chosen instance without taking into account their actual views. I do not advocate against blocking ml entirely, because I don't view being cut off from people who make those types of assumptions as a loss for me.
You've spent multiple comments expressing that lack of care.... which doesn't make it seem like you don't care, but instead makes it seem like this bugs you because you feel its unfair, and you've said as much here.
Only because you and other people have spent multiple comments not understanding me so I'm only repeating myself. I'm only commenting because this is the third shit stirring post by the same user, and I only chimed in to another ml user that I'm not bothered if people decide to block ml because it's a win to me to avoid immature people and in my view a loss to others because I spend most of my time on lemmy giving tech support to others.
But you are engaging with them... I am very confused
No, I engaged with someone else on ml, and then you couldn't resist engaging with me. I don't see what's confusing about this. I don't think I'm missing anything by not being able to engage with this post. Yet it's here, so I'm engaging with it. That doesn't mean I value this engagement or would miss it at all. Let me again repeat that my preference is to ignore these types of posts, which is why I refrained from commenting on the other similar posts OP has made in the past. It's kind of silly to assume that engagement means you necessarily value the content.
Do you similarly think engaging with a racist by arguing with them means you must also value their content or presence? Of course not. Chiming in to say that I would not miss them, but also disagree with their views, is not contradictory.
Anyhow, I think I'll go back to ignoring these types of posts. I think this kind of blanket assumption about people based on their instance is a net negative to the community. That said, I don't think it's at all inconsistent to both view OPs attitude as immature while simultaneously not caring if they decide to block ml, precisely because being blocked by immature people is not a net negative to me.
Merry Christmas!
To me it's not a loss
I think it's a loss to other people
These are not mutually exclusive and not contradictory at all
That seems like you're going out of your way to ascribe malice
Do you not see the post at the top of this thread??
You can't think of any reasons someone might not want to block but might still complain?
Imo this is not complaining, this is shit stirring. This meme isn't even acknowledging that there are multiple types of people on ml, but advocates for treating everyone the same. Do you not see an issue with that?
I mean here you are simultaneously advocating for not throwing out the baby with the bathwater
This is your assumption. All I've said here is that I don't care, I'm only commenting because this is the 3rd shit stirring post made by this OP, and I consider it a loss to those who block ml, but not to me. I've glossed over multiple posts like this from OP in the past so I clearly do not care if people view ml like this, it only reinforces the fact that I'm not missing anything by not being able to engage with people who are this immature.
When I say I don't usually engage with these types of posts, it's because I remember several others like it that I chose to ignore. Checking OPs history, it seems they posted every other one that I remember. I don't count it as a loss at all if people like this make their own decision to block ml because I'd rather not see this kind of drama all the time. It doesn't matter to me if they see it as a loss or a gain, I'm still gonna be here engaging with and helping people who need help in various communities. To me it's not a loss if someone isn't able to receive my help if they decide that it's not worth it to them - that's their decision to make, and I'd rather not worry about people who are going to behave like OP.
The constant handwringing and wishing about ml users suffering more from being blocked because you don't like certain users honestly reeks of a sore ex who wants to twist the knife. If ml bothers certain users (I'm looking at OP especially) then just block ml and stop posting about it repeatedly (looking at you OP).
In ID web editor there's a "relations" section underneath the tags section. It's a good thing to watch out for if you're editing existing roads - especially if you're splitting segments, deleting segments, or adding new segments, since you could accidentally cause a gap in the relation (which could represent for example a bus route) or cause incorrect ordering of relation segments for things where the order of the relation members matter. I typically try to avoid making any unnecessary changes to anything that's in a relation besides tag updates and repositioning alignment, both because each relation type has its own conventions that I don't want to dive into learning and also because editing relations in ID instead of josm can be hard and laggy with huge relations.
And it looks like someone else found the default speed limits for comaps, I had no idea that was a thing probably because I rarely notice roads without speed limit tags.
When you say you don't see any existing speed limit tags, are you also checking if the ways are in any relations and checking those as well for speed limit tags? If a road has 5 or 10 separate segments, instead of putting a speed limit tag on each segment, they may be grouped in a relation so that a single speed limit tag can be added to them all. Besides that I can't think of any other place it would be, so yeah wait a few months and see if your updates show up.
I similary only print useful things and tools, and my impression was that paid models seem to be mostly decorative things, whereas the most useful functional prints seem to usually be free. I don't think I've ever paid for a model, but cults has a lot of paid stuff if you want to look.
Are you sure there isn't a speed limit tag on a relation that contains the street way? I was under the impression that it used only osm data.
Sure, but seeing posts like this encouraging discounting other people based on the instance they signed up on doesn't make me want to switch instances so I can spend more time with them. Posts like these make it harder to care about what I'm missing tbh.
Honestly these kinds of posts don't bother me. I'm usually on here answering people's tech questions or trying to provide useful resources to people. If they don't see it because they have ml blanket blocked then that's their loss.
Thank goodness they refused to support Proton/Linux then because, and this is a direct quote from their ticket tracker: "Linux is an open door for cheaters" 🙄
