637: Rotate Those Tennis Balls

I have finally reached an important milestone. You already got glasses. Have you bought a boat? I regret to inform you that I now need to use reading glasses when using a laptop. I have finally crossed threshold that when the laptop is on my lap, that distance has finally gotten a little fuzzy. So did you get the ones that the two lenses magnetically snap to each other? Or did you just get a regular one that's on a on a, like, a a stringer on your neck? Alright. So far here here's my glasses, situation and setup so far. So I have a pair of progressives that I believe I mentioned. I got about, I don't know, like around Thanksgiving I started wearing them. So I got a pair of progressives that is nothing on top and reading on the bottom. I'm wearing them almost all the time now, like doing stuff around. But, I the problem with progressives is that the part that is in focus for the reading is really only, like, the bottom middle of your field of view. So, as a result, those are actually pretty bad for computer use. Because, for computer use, you want, like, a large, flat rectangle to be entirely in focus. Not just like the part of it that your head is most pointing towards near the bottom. So progressives, I have found, are great for pretty much all of the rest of life except computers. Now, I I don't know if you've heard, I do occasionally use computers. Would you say you're doing a lot with computers right now? Yeah. As always. So progressives are they're again, they're wonderful for all other situations but computers, they're they're not so great for. For computers, I just need reading glasses. Just like low power, like, you know, point five or point seven five, reading glasses for computer use. Did you get them already? So, I've tried a bunch of I have a bunch of, like, cheap ones from Amazon, basically. And they're fine. Like, one that I carry around in my backpack, there's this company that makes, these really flat folding ones. They're called ThinOptics. And they're like $40 which for a pair of Amazon reading glasses is very expensive. But what's great about the ThinOptics is that their case folds completely flat. So it ends up being Oh, yeah. I've seen it. Like maybe like three or four millimeters thick. And it closes magnetically. The case is pretty fragile. I've already broken one case, but the glasses themselves, like, they're because they're super super flat, they're not very attractive. It almost looks like the three d glasses you get in a movie theater. Like, that kind of construction of just like really, like, thin bare metal. Like, I I will say I recommend if you get them the, the ones with the round clear frames are the ones that I like the best. I I have, like, the rectangles …
