Yes! They’re more expensive but so worth it. It not just comfort/appearance, you also see better through thinner plastic. And they’re better able to stay in place without falling off and getting scratched.

Btw, the best way to protect your glasses is to keep them on your face. Have a safe container on your nightstand, use museum goo if you worry about it falling off. If you have to put them down, leave the arms open so the lenses stay 90° from the surface, and always put them someplace that’s higher than your waist.

Personally I clean mine with less than a drop of dish soap (or liquid hand soap in an emergency) and running water, and once I’ve gently washed them, I turn the stream low along the edge so it runs off both sides without leaving drops. Then I wipe the frame but not the lenses, only dab any stubborn last drop to remove it. In most cases it’s better to put up with some temporary dirt particles until you can clean safely, than to wipe and create permanent scratches.

I totally agree it’s a job best done by someone without any emotional ties.

I also realize that “the bank/the city” means “some secondary cleaning contractor” which means “some probably-undocumented immigrants,” i.e. another vital service which could be impacted by the Trump Purge.

Good point although I was thinking more generally in terms of the sheer quantity of hoarded material. Every episode of Taggart and Midsomer Murders and Housewives… Grandma’s hoard might be even more unwieldy

Oh God this is going to become the new “clearing away all grandpa’s old Playboys and VHS tapes and newspapers,” isn’t it?

Soooo… With 2 already-wealthy men getting paid for doing the one job, outside of the official government, it’s actually the Department of Not-Really Government Redundancies and Grift, isn’t it?

It’s also been shown to hallucinate whole parts of the doctor/nurse discussion and instructions

Oh, like a more sophisticated version of the old "put your phone in the microwave"joke!

Thank you, kind person.

So I know nothing and just wandered in here from Top, but this translates as, “Fuck you, all of you, French language, I show you my butthole,” right?

Gonna need an attribution to go with that quotation, pedant.

Gonna jump in here so you teach your kid right:

Cue, pronounced “Q,” is the spelling for "time to go on stage or say your line " or in this case, “time to look confused.”

Qué is pronounced “K” and is basically Spanish for what, although “por qué?” is “Why?”

I know that because of the old joke about the lady crying at her husband’s coffin “Por qué, por qué?” And the coffin opened and said “Butter.” But the reference is too old.

Anyway Queue is the last one, it’s English English, pronounced “Q” and means people standing in a line, just as all the silent letters are.

Honestly, I read it as dreadlocks in the first place.

You were correct if it goes the other way round, you start as a Veep who takes over.

I’d love Michelle but she can’t pull the swing states. Let’s elect Kamala and then put Michelle in the SCOTUS. Barack too, why not? Get some work out of those two fine minds.

I don’t see any cake.

Here. 🎂 Cake. 🍰

Sadly, he’s ineligible, because if she died he’d be president again.

Biden or Trump? Biden or Trump? Better have a wank…

…!!!@#?!$&@#$&!!!

Trump it is then!

Oh wait, he’s a guy, I guess it’s just

…!!!

That woman probably felt safer to compliment you as well as your girlfriend because you were together. Sadly, guys in general get fewer compliments from girls than pop into the girls’ heads because they’re afraid of how the guy would react.

Which is why it’s nice for OP to call on guys to compliment each other, and notice when they’ve put in effort.

I’m going to add, “Great hair!” And, “Those glasses really suit you!”

Step 2 should be: Put the side with the seed DOWN skin-side down, and lightly whack the long sharp edge of the knife into the seed without risking your hand. If you’re afraid of the avocado escaping, hold one end, but don’t put your whole palm directly in the line of cut. A lot of people wind up in the ER because avocado seeds are slippery and may send the blade askew, or just because they missed. Twist to pop out the seed, and whack the handle on the edge of your trashcan to dislodge it into the trash.

Just checking… Was anyone on the team named Igor?
