-4.25 0.25 134

-4.50 0.50 70

This prescription is 3 years out of date, if you're ordering new glasses you should just get a new eye exam

How are his zeroes so inconsistent.

Fucker should go back to elementary school or buy a fucking computer.

Nobody should have tried to write cursive numbers. That's just a recipe for disaster

I don't know who downvoted you, but have an upvote.

Thank you for understanding. 👍

There's a bitter bastard in every thread. 🤷‍♂️

-4.25. 0.25. 134.

-4.50. 0.50. 70.

But this prescription expired 2 years ago. Get a new one.

You missed the negative signs on the cylinder corrections.

[–] 01189998819991197253@infosec.pub 15 points 2 months ago (4 children)

Not negatives. They're "cursive zeros". My old doctor used to do that. Annoying as hell.

Have you considered CALLING your fucking optometrist and asking for clarification?

Edit: after reading your other replies in this post its clear you’re just trolling. Go get another eye exam, Mr. “Perfectly Stable Eyes.”

I'm cringing at the date format "1-20-21".

I filed my first complaint against a coworker for arguing with me about ISO standards. I'm an AV engineer and use YYYY-MM-DD for my print sets which he found "confusing" because most fools write M-D-YY. I told him I got approval to do it that way and it might even become mandatory (true) but he wouldn't drop it. He sarcastically told me I should teach a class on date formats because I think I'm so smart.

We're an international company and I'm gonna keep using the international standard for dates, douchebag.

[–] jet@hackertalks.com 6 points 2 months ago (1 children)

I like how this person is confused by a four-digit year as the first field, like that's ambiguous!

[–] glimse@lemmy.world 5 points 2 months ago (1 children)

2024-08-28?? How am I supposed to know if that means the 28th of August in the year 2024 or the 2024th day of '28???

Sounds like somebody suffered greatly at the hands of Excel.

Remember when you could specify more than 53 weeks in a year? Oh yeah good times. Remember when they changed how those got processed? Even better times......

Fucking negative weeks based on fiscal years! Ooph.... Such rage

some online shops let you upload a scan of it, do that and let them decipher the code.

That's fully legible, but probably only because my handwriting is just as bad.

Just look at the prescription when you get it and ask what the numbers are.
Those are your eyes, and you paid for those numbers, either directly or via health insurance / taxes.
