  • I go through a lot of these, as I tend to forget them all over, but the gist of my strategy is this:

    • As dark as possible
    • I prefer non-polarized, as polarized sunglasses tend to interfere with plane cockpits and car HUDs
    • Big enough to cover most of my sight angles
    • I never liked those thick nose bridges, as I find them too hipster-y
    • Other than the above, IDGAF about how they look. I wear them for me, not for others.

    Brand sunglasses (raybans, Oakley, etc) are OK, but I generally find that they’re not very durable. The glasses resist scratching very well, but the frames could be a lot stronger.








  • If I was a mod here I’d lock this post with “duplicate” as a parody.

    SO was good 10-15 years ago, but it has gotten bogged down in a combination of user elitism, mod incentives to do anything, and outdated answers remaining canonical.

    • User elitism: You see this anywhere else too. Older users hold power on the site, and this tends to result in walling out those with actual refreshing ideas.

    • Mod incentives: The system rewards mod actions, even if those actions aren’t the correct one. For example, closing a question as duplicate, even if it’s not, rewards the closer.

    • Due to the above, the “correct” answer to a question never gets updated, and it doesn’t take later versions into account. As such the site becomes a collection of outdated answers to questions that may or may not still be relevant.

  • Two days ago via discord. I don’t live anywhere near the few friends we have, so Mondays and Wednesdays are two days per week where we have the evenings schedules cleared of anything related to spouses, work, offspring, and general adulting.

    Those hours are usually spent gaming together, or just general chitchat. These days it’s usually Project Zomboid, and the dedicated server I’ve set up only runs on those days with a fixed set of hours (thanks, cron!), To ensure that we play together rather than someone soloing during the off-hours. Though getting PZ to play nicely with systemd was a PITA.

    And if someone were to miss the times lot, then they only missed a few hours total - Yhings will mostly remain as they were last time they played.
