        Right, but if he’s geeking out, and I’m learning something, a couple of hours would be fine. Not that any doctor would spend that long on such a thing.

      You will not believe the trivial BS my doctor and I talk about.
      This with a full waiting room.
      Usually I’m the one that says ‘I really have to go now’ after 45 minutes because I feel guilty.

    If you’re an adult, at your workplace and react/interact like this, something very important is still alive and thriving in you.

        when you need to see in the darkest dark, let your eyes also be a flashlight?

        edit: videos linked above explained that it’s fluorescent. theory is that it’s a side-effect of having a fluorescent-filtering layer to the eye, which would help finding prey that use bioluminescence to blend in with the dim sunlight coming from above them

          Yeah the linked article and videos were very informative, but I guess yeah as far as me wanting them I don’t know. I guess a flashlight’s as good a guess as any, aside from the cool factor lol

    I honestly love that the optometrist stopped working to look up something just like we do!

    My kid (almost 10) takes guitar lessons.

    His teacher is cool. He lets me bring my guitar and learn alongside him.

    All three of us, I should add, have wicked ADD.

    Most classes start out like this…we both tune up, my kid takes longer…I start playing whatever 3-4 chord song I’ve been working on that week. Teacher doesn’t know what song it is.

    But within a couple of bars he knows exactly what song I’m playing and continues the song and we’re just a couple middle-aged ADD guys rocking out.

    It makes doctor-patient interactions a lot easier when you walk into the room with an understanding that it requires an autistic level of dedication to actually study that shit and memorize it all.

    “Oh yeah your results say you’re going blind, but why does it have a big yellow-green one and a small blue one? That’s so weird…”
