I just want to mention that PRK absolutely cuts something off… It actually cuts the most. LASIK cuts a little, requires very little healing, and leaves flaps from cutting into the eye. PRK cuts off the entire layer and doesn’t leave flaps… It requires way more healing but it’s recommended if you live a very mobile lifestyle like a profession skydive or swimmer etc since the flap could cause issues and mess you up. My husband got PRK in the military because of the “active” lifestyle and the military didn’t (or didn’t at the time) offer LASIK. I’ve been looking to get LASIK and my optometrist actually recommended me ICL. It’s a bit more complicated and expensive however I have very thin cornea layers and the Dr said I was really on the cusp of possibly have permanent dry eyes if I were to get LASIK. Considering it’s my eyeballs that I use to see I’m planning to get ICL because even if it’s more expensive… Eyeballs are important … You know? One other nice thing is in ICL the Dr cuts into the eye and then inserts a permanent lense under a layer of your cornea. So if your eyesight gets worse… They can re-cut… Take out the old lense… And insert one of a stronger prescription without having to cut more and more layers off. Either way my Dr said to wait because I was looking to have kids and the Dr said that having kids can actually permanently change your eyesight. I have an adorable 1yr old now and plan to have just one more… Then I will look to get it done. (Damn adorable kids) Just thought I’d mention that PRK does cut and a little more info for anyone wondering 👍

This is correct and something I learned about recently. The style of a lot of middle eastern type clothing is all very loose and baggy for both men and women, because of that, the color of the clothing doesn’t affect it’s heat intake. It’s thought that a lot of clothing styles came to be because of what was available to use to weave them. If I’m remembering correct, the desert areas had a lot of wool to work with. Wool is an insulator… So in order to wear it in that climate they wove it very loose with a lot of layers and baggyness. I’m not an expert on the matter though, so I might be mistaken

Back when Amazon first came out they were only doing books. They often had books other bookstores didn’t have or carry and they were packaged with care. Nowadays any book you get from Amazon is usually printed crappily, with pages stuck together, cut off, or not even cut. Then they throw it in a box without packing where it bounces around and gets bent up. Regular bookstores now have good online platforms and if they don’t have a book in store they can almost always order it. I know I’ll get a quality print that isn’t bent to crap. The only downside is occasionally they’ll stick stickers somewhere that you’re pretty sure the gods themselves super glued onto it.
