    perhaps you confused between eyesight test and perception test.

     

    So yes precisely, which one is it? they do check for what you call sharpness or they do not?

    its both, as i stated in the first instance,

    and even specified with smaller and smaller text,

    and the depth perception test with a pin on a rail, respectively.

     

    now with that sorted out, can you elaborate on

    how you first claim color test was the only eyesight text,

    and in following post you contradict that statement

    by saying they test depth perception also ?

    im guessing memory are slipping with age, how old are you ?

    In your previous post you stated they check for sharpness as in smaller and smaller text, now you state they check for depth.

     

    So which one is it? Yes they check for depth, only hardly ever look if you got it right and if you did not, they make you do it again and again until you get it right.

     

    Just as reaction test which a lot of people fail, they do it again and again until they get it or get it close enough.

     

    1 week ago, they did not even do the reaction test and for colorblind instead of using the chart, now have mini traffic lights, 

     

    For perception, mine were aligned to start with, did not even need to move it

    i stated both, and in previous post you stated

    " never tested nor saw or heard of anyone else being tested for eyesight besides color blind test "

    but now you say they did test depth perception,

    so which one is it ?

    No they do not. in 20 years i was never tested nor saw or heard of anyone else being tested for eyesight besides color blind test

    but when i went to dlt 1.5 years ago they did,

    its a pin on a rail and you have to scroll that pin to line

    up with two other objects to the sides depth wise,

    this require both eyes functioning or you wont get

    proper distance, lest you figured out

    how to roll with the head like an

    owl to get the depth right.

    this is also why carnivores have their

    eyes facing front to judge depth right,

    apes did evolve this way to get a proper

    distance measurement to the next branch

  4. its going to take an awful lot of time for surrounding

    nations to semi catch up, and for sure im going to be dead

    if and when cambodia ever catches up somewhat.

    agree thai economy is doing exceptionally well,

    its overall not cheaper here then home now.

    still warm here tho, and i find thais as social and easy going as ever, but have to note with displeasure

    that the young A rated lasses doesnt even register me

    on their radar

    Funny thing is DLT does not check if you blind or must wear glasses , they only check if you colourblind as if one would not know top is red and bottom is green.

     

    but good on rider for ignoring his disability and living life to the full just as for passenger for understanding , sharing and helping instead of throwing a hissy fit . 

    no, they check both color, sharpness as in smaller and smaller text, and depth perception, as in needing 2 eyes

    to get depth correct on the pin they scroll back and forth,

    tho the control of the test isnt quite up to snuff,

    ie all others in the room are allowed to give assistance during the tests.

    i also nodded they have a reaction test,

    i cant recall that in my home country

    Frankly, I am fascinated by how so many people believe the hysteria about climate change despite so many times the same climate change cult's predictions haven't come true. They're 0 for 41.

     

    https://cei.org/blog/wrong-again-50-years-failed-eco-pocalyptic-predictions

     

    And we're supposed to keep believing the same people who have been caught manipulating data again and again after being caught in so many other lies?

     

    And the people who doubt the rantings and dire warnings of the constant liars are the "deniers"????

     

    Wow.

    its sad that NASA of all people jumped on this bandwagon,

    it used to be a respected entity.

    i predict '97% scientists approve' will become a verb

    in the future, and this junk science is casting a dark shadow on science and scientists, and our entire generation

    as imbecilic, they are ridiculing science for the sake of

    getting more funding, there is zero dignity and ethics in it

     

    edit: here, take a look at cook and

    the half a dozen enthusiasts

    chatting on how to create this consensus

    project

    What you say I evaded was precisely my point.

     

    Which was, man's use of fossil fuels increasing CO2 may end or at least moderate current ice age glaciations.(freeze ups)

     

    Your proof: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glacial_period

    Work by Berger and Loutre suggests that the current warm climate may last another 50,000 years.[8] The amount of heat trapping (greenhouse) gases being emitted into Earth's Oceans and atmosphere may delay the next glacial period by an additional 50,000 years.

     

    but if you look at the trend of the milankovitch cycles,

    it sure looks like we are now at the peak of warmth,

    and it will plummet in a few thousands of years

    97% of  actively publishing climate scientists agree that there is man made climate change but fools on here know better. Can't trust those smart educated types I guess. 

     

    https://climate.nasa.gov/scientific-consensus/

    no, NASA is parroting an imbecile called john cook,

    its amazing NASA is so sloppy as to just referring

    to this ozzie on a topic that touches science,

    cause cook has no clue at all how to make

    a meaningful statistic, or are just trolling.

     

     

    here is john discussing with fellow enthusiasts

    on their blog when they came up with the theory of 97% approve TM

    [[John Cook] When I read an abstract like this:

    Spatial And Temporal Projected Distribution Of Four Crop Plants In Egypt

    ... It is projected that there will be increased air temperature throughout all four seasons in the coming 100 years, from the southern towards the northern parts of Egypt...

    We can be confident that this statement is based on the fact of AGW. So is it not appropriate to rate it as 'implicit endorsement'? Not all 'predictions of future warming' tip over the line into endorsement but the stronger the prediction, the more the likelihood of implicit endorsement, methinks.]

    http://www.hi-izuru.org/forum/The Consensus Project/2012-02-27-Official TCP Guidelines (all discussion of grey areas, disputed papers, clarifications goes here).html

     

    and here is the abstract, that, do note, does not mention

    co2 or man as cause of the expected temperature increase

    https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/abs/10.1111/j.1477-8947.2008.00205.x

    its kindergarten drivel behind the 97% consensus,

    in the abstracts they 'investigated' was among other

    entirely irrelevant stuff like 'white males',

    im embarrassed to be rated the same specie as these

    imbeciles, and how NASA can refer to this 'statistic' is unbelievable.

     

    here is some evaluation of john cooks drivel

    that the rumor of 97% scientists approve TM comes from

    http://www.joseduarte.com/blog/cooking-stove-use-housing-associations-white-males-and-the-97

    someone that bothered to actually go through the abstracts concluded

    less then 1% actually wrote co2

    or otherwise man made was behind earth warming and rising sea levels

    That’s not what I asked you.

     

    I asked:

     

     

    You referred to these, now let’s have your explanation of what they are and evidence they are happening?

    yes, have a wild guess what " Worsening periodic freeze ups "

    might refer to ?

    surely it cant be the reoccurring ice ages

    can it ? and if it is, its due to the orbit around the sun somehow directly

    influence co2 levels due to some

    kind of attraction to co2,

    ...and then temperature follows co2,

    or issit the other way around ?

    blasphemy i say

    You guys still going on about this.

     

    The UN gathered the best climate scientists in the world. They investigated all the evidence and made their decision. 

     

    The science is settled and no amount of posturing from pundits on here will change that.

    err, how about two of the chief reviewers

    in their respective field in that ipcc report that got ignored

    and voted down cause their expertise didnt 

    fit ipcc agenda ?

    from 12 min where they vent their displeasure

    that ipcc ignored the experts and wrote the opposite

    in the report

    and here from 58 min, note how the cheeky sods

    in ipcc still insist and pretend that the scientists

    are behind the report.

     

    scientists are upset they are silenced

    to further ipcc agenda, and yet ipcc pretend

    their report is based on the very same scientists that

    told them their rap was junk

    So did you make a claim?  I have never had a missing item not made good by Ebay/Aliexpress/Lazada/Shopee seller or platform.

    i was going to, but got informed that it could take up to half

    a year to get it, now i think its too late.

    aliexpress did refund me tho

    Well if you're still looking, I had already told you where to find them in Marina Mall and don't understand why you didn't simply follow those directions.

     

    Anyway I was there last night and I can report the item you want is IN STOCK and I can now give you even better directions.

     

    Mall -- Marina Mall

    Store -- KOMONOYA (Japanese chain, small cute items)

    Only location in town

    Location in Mall -- 

    Directly across from the area between OWN DAYS OPTICAL and BOOTS

    You can't miss it, but apparently you did last time.

    In the store --

    Enter and walk straight in.

    You will see Aisle 4.

    The item is on the right hand side of Aisle 4.

    The English label of the item is Steel Nail Clipper, Straight Type. 

    It is large. It's exactly what you wanted.

     

    Enjoy. 

    thanks jt, i will print it out for next time i make an attempt

    but everyone else is? You really need to apply a bit of skepticality and look at the big picture

    no, not everyone else is, hardly anyone believe in the junk science beside those with eco-anxiety condition.

    the scientific consensus project was never to

    interview 100 or more scientists and make statistic out of that, it was a a few enthusiastic amateurs

    that googled "global climate change"

    and read abstracts of anything that came up on google,

    and then they were discussing in between them

    if it should be flagged as "agree/ agree nit noi, not agree, etc......and then concluded based on their subjective

    feeling if an abstract supported their opinion that co2

    causes global warming.

     

    i saw NASA was referring to the consensus,

    so i looked it up, it turns out an ozzie named john cook

    wanted to be creative, i can tell you point blank he has no clue how to make an objective statistic, none, nada, zilch.

    you will run into the same issue if you try to cross breed
