[00:30] IsambardPrince I think I might bite the bullet and get LASIK [00:30] IsambardPrince I hate eyeglasses. [00:30] IsambardPrince They get dandruff, they get smudges. [00:30] IsambardPrince You have to wash your hands in dish soap before you use the cleaning wipes so you don't accidentally get fingerprints on it and grab a new wipe. [00:31] IsambardPrince If you scratch the lens you get to look through it until you can get a new pair.

It got me through my tonsillectomy back in 1994. Well, that and prescription narcotics. Doctors were nicer to you back then.

[00:59] IsambardPrince I was hitting the button for more every 4 hours. [00:59] IsambardPrince I had complications from surgery and ended up in the hospital all month. ● May 25 [01:00] IsambardPrince I'd trade the modern world for the 90s any day. [01:00] IsambardPrince Doctors that did something when they saw a patient in pain. [01:00] IsambardPrince VHS tapes, no concept of region locks and laughable anti-copy. [01:01] *fantom has quit (Ping timeout: 120 seconds) [01:01] IsambardPrince The only real anti-copy on VHS was Macrovision, which sent weird signals to the receiving VCR's auto gain control. [01:01] IsambardPrince But there were plenty of VCRs that were too old to have that, which would just go ahead and record. [01:01] IsambardPrince And Macrovision removers. You saw them in every paper even though they were illegal. [01:03] IsambardPrince We had a couple VCRs with Auto Gain Control and several without it. [01:03] IsambardPrince The ones with it were the ones that you could play the tape with, to be recorded on the one without. [01:03] IsambardPrince It was that easy. [01:04] *fantom (~fantom@freenode-ff6.5hs.anfioq.IP) has joined #techrights [01:05] IsambardPrince Tapes back then were so expensive that most people just ran off video rental store copies onto blanks that you would just buy at KMart or somewhere. The more tapes you bought in a bundle, the cheaper they tended to be. [01:06] IsambardPrince Probably like $2 each or something for blanks, $1.99 to rent one from the video store overnight. So maybe $4 vs. $20-25 by that point. [01:07] IsambardPrince The movie studios were aware this was happening. They gouged the video rental stores for their tapes. [01:07] IsambardPrince Those tapes could go for $100 each. [01:08] IsambardPrince So our tape trove was like 60% blanks, most of the rest were the ones the rental store would sell when they were done with them, and the rest were new (maybe 10-15%. [01:09] IsambardPrince I see people on Reddit collecting these things again.

[01:17] IsambardPrince I said "It'll be in New Jersey."
