134 indicates that this is a prescription for glasses and not lenses. Lenses are typically only available in increments of 10.
If that's the case, you should get a new prescription specifically for lenses, because the spherical correction (-4.5) will also be different between glasses and lenses, because of the distance to the eye.
Goes to show that it's only human.
Roblox is a mess, but in an alright way. There are many different games and investing into it is useless, because kids will move from one game to the next soon enough. I have never paid for Robux and never intend to. The kids keep playing it without the buy in. It's something everyone in school does, so they play together and change game constantly to whatever is trendy.
I've only barely played it myself to see what it is like and if the chat was problematic. It seems safe enough, but there are limits to the gameplay when not paying. Most of the games are pretty pointless anyway and don't require Robux, but the kids are still entertained for a while in each game. Robux might make sense in the more complex games, but I refuse to pay for it.
As for paid games, I've paid for Minecraft for pc and android and that's worth it on both platforms. I have accounts for the entire family so we can join each other and they can have friends over who don't have their own accounts or don't know the logins. It's relatively cheap and only a one time purchase. It can be tricky with the Java and bedrock editions not playing along, so that's why I just bought more accounts. There are free clones of Minecraft for android that are soo close that my youngest didn't even realise that it wasn't the original.
My oldest has also herself paid for the horse game Star Stable for pc, which is a great game, but also expensive. This is more like buying an actual game. It's basically an 3D adventure game with horses. No microtransactions if fully paid for. The account also works for android, but she uses the pc mostly. Again, this is because her best friends are playing it. She has no interest in horses, but the game is good. It's sort of like GTA but instead of driving cars and shooting guns, they ride horses and run errands for the stables or something. It's possible to play for free, but only until it gets more interesting.
Depends on age a lot.
My girls have mostly played Toca Boca World and Roblox (playing Adopt Me or Brookhaven).
Ideally, I'd call up Zelenskyy, ask if he wanted to hang out, have a beer and offer him the job.
Realistically, I'd be doomscrolling on Lemmy, have a wank, get drunk and go to bed.
The ads have reached a breaking point.
If I can't block them, I'm just not watching the YouTube. I'll never pay.
It used to be funny to link a relevant YouTube clip, but it's not funny if you have to sit through half a minute of ads just to see something silly.
It's also not really a long time streaming service like TV channels or netflix etc., because the homemade content sucks in comparison to an actual documentary that I can also watch without ads on other services.
It's like Google completely misunderstood the point of the service they initially made. Also following a decade of users attempting to "monitize" their fucking crap, you can be sure that there's nothing worth watching on YouTube that couldn't have been better presented in a gif or in text.
Then the player is also fucking up lately. Usually if I go there, I'll check the written description while the ads play, just to see if the content is worth the wait, but nooo.... you can't even do that anymore, because the app will start reloading between the multiple ads and the screen scrolls around and minimizes the description and comments. They're literally hiding any information on the clip except the title until you've watched the ads.
It's fucking garbage. Enshittified to death.
Repeating: Google, if you're listening: I'll never pay for YouTube, no matter how intrusive you make the ads. Enshittification is not encouraging me to pay.
Well, I stand corrected. I guess we'll need to wait for the ice on the North pole to melt before we can make a more stupid voyage.
The picture was about sailing the longest direct line.
It's not the longest anyway, but that's what it was about. Technically one could sail infinitely many times around Antarctica in a straight line.
Knowing a clock is more than just telling time.
When you're walking with your homies you gotta be able to call out "gyat 3 o'clock" , so your fellow bros know where to look.
It's interesting how most of Musk's wealth is in stock and such, when people start cashing out on it. What's his liquid wealth?
I assume he's been wealthy for long enough that he's been able to cash out interest and dividends to make him a wealthy man, constantly accruing money simply by having money.
Seeing him tank on everything he touches( bringing down the value), I have to wonder if there is a limit to his liquid funds. The world's richest poorest man or something.
Fuck him and the horse he rode in on.
Exactly.
I'm surprised to see users on Lemmy being this dead set on banning stuff for kids just because "we tried nothing and it doesn't work*
Social media is bad, phones are bad, I get it, but banning is not the solution.
Kids will grow up in a world with both social media and phones. IMO school should prepare them and be a practice ground for it, so they don't make the same mistakes as we - the parents - did.
Like posted elsewhere, my kids are better at it than I am. Banning phones is projection all the way.
I'm perfectly fine with disallowing phones during class, but an outright ban is an extreme reaction completely missing the problematic issues and potentially making it worse.
The correction is typically slightly lower than for glasses, but besides the corrections (sphere, cylinder and axis), lenses also have curve (BC) and diameter (DIA) to fit your eye.
If you have an old box of lenses you can usually find all the numbers printed on the side.
I only use lenses occasionally, so when I recently ordered lenses online using the info from an old box and correcting for the change in my glasses since I had the old lenses, I could sort of figure it out, but they are probably still off by 0.5 or so.
I think you're better off seeing an optometrist than guessing.
