My cousin was considering it before, but read that they could fail in the future, so he was put off, iirc there is another type of surgery which isn't supposed to have the same complications as LASIK, just can't recall the name.
Also a few weeks ago cbcnews was showcasing a new product created by an optometrist or opthalmologist in Abby which is supposed to replace the cornea and improve eysight 3X better than 20/20
So today at work (I work at a pet food and supplies store) this happened. Here's the story:
A woman walks into my store and asks if we know whose french bulldog was in a grey car in our parking lot (we share a parking lot with a 7/11 and a hair salon). She said it was left in a car and was in distress, so I went out with her to check it out. Upon looking at the dog, I could tell it was overheating - the windows in the car were opened half an inch and the dog was panting heavily, drooling, and was trying to be as close to the crack of fresh air as possible with not even any water in the car.
May I also mention that french bulldogs are extremely susceptible to respiratory issues and trouble breathing?
As my partner is about to call the non emergency line, I'm trying to find out how to help this dog. I didn't expect anything to happen from doing this, but I tried opening the passenger side door when I found out it was unexpectedly unlocked. We both are shocked and have no idea whose car or dog this was, so we agreed that I should bring it into my store and wait for the owner to pick it up.
(Note: the woman, before coming to my store, had gone into both the 7/11 and the hair salon asking for the owner of the vehicle and no one had said anything.)
Just as we're going to leash the dog, a man who has been standing in front of this car THIS ENTIRE TIME sipping on a slurpee asks us what we're doing. He has heard everything we've said, he's silently watched as I've opened the car door and get a hold of the dog.
I ask him if the car is his. He says yes. The dog is his, too.
My partner then proceeds to tell him that he shouldn't have left his dog in the car and that his windows were nowhere close to being rolled down sufficiently when he turns completely angry on us and tells us we know nothing about dogs or hot cars, that his dog had air through the cracks of opened window he gave it and therefore was completely comfortable, and basically yelling about us not being justified in trying to save his overheating bulldog.
He then turns to me, where I'm standing by the opened door making sure his dog doesn't run into the street, and tells me to "not touch (his) fucking door and dog." I don't comply because 1) I'm allowing his dog to breathe and 2) by this time he was being such an asshole that I wasn't going to give in to his orders just because he was taller and bigger and louder than me.
He then proceeds to march over to where I am, slam the door right in front of me (almost slamming it on his dog's face) and forcefully walks right into me and starts screaming in my face.
The video starts in the latter end of his screaming act at me. The rest you can watch for yourself.
I'm very lucky that the woman I was with filmed this and caught his face, how much his windows were rolled down, and his licence plate. People like this shouldn't have pets and shouldn't get away with unacceptable behaviour.
It would mean a lot if you could share this to spread the word about leaving animals in hot, unventilated cars. I suppose some people just don't get it... But maybe after seeing how irrational his argument is, hopefully some people will think twice before making a "sandwich and slurpee" stop. You can't wait until your pet dies from being in a hot car to realize how quickly it can get hot and how a little sliver of a window essentially does nothing.
Didn't realize it was local until I saw the video. What a scum bag.

A young woman in Hong Kong has been sentenced to jail for three and a half months for assaulting a senior police officer with her breast during a protest over cross-border trading, the South China Morning Post reports.
Ng Lai-ying, 30, was convicted early in July and was sentenced on Thursday. The authorities have suggested that Ng pushed against the officer with her breast in order to accuse him of indecent assault in what deputy magistrate Michael Chan Pik-kiu termed an inappropriate use of her “female identity.”
According to the Post, Chan told the court that he had to hand down a deterrent sentence in case “the public might mistakenly think it is a trivial matter to assault police officers during protests.” He also said that he had received threats in connection with the case.
Ng, who was remanded two weeks ago with three other defendants, has been released on bail pending an appeal, the Post reports.
Apparently going from self defense to beating the shit out of someone is now "justice" because the guy pinched someones ass. Fucking morons these days, if it was anything other than a man getting beaten by women I doubt anyone would be cheering for this cunt.
dude threw the first punch and started a street fight - no rules. it stops when whoever is giving the beat down decides to stop, and everyone deals with the legal stuff after.
the soccer kick by fighter 2 is totally harsh, but since the guy didn't get chocked out, limb or joints snapped - to me that's a show of restraint. i'd say he made out OK for something he started with throwing the first punch.
google roger huerta another pro fighter. he's 145-155 lb and beat down a college/pro linebacker after he KO'd a 5' 100lb girl. media likes to post these type of hero stories b/c it makes headlines.
you could fault huerta for jumping in and starting a fight, but IMO not for beating the guy down until he can't get up, it's a street fight and he's a small guy. he has to use his skills/abilities to prevent from the big guy from using his (size/athleticism) b/c he'd be on the other side of a beating from a bigger guy and who knows when he decides to stop.
Depends if he actually threw that punch or not, depending on the article the story varies from him throwing a punch at her right away, to him walking away and her following "to get an apology from him" then grabbing him and refusing to let go. If you want an apology from someone making them unable to breathe sounds like a pretty stupid way to do it. Either way it sounds like there's a bit of grey area that's hard to clear up with third hand accounts from only one side.
The running soccer kick to someone in a chokehold is the part that I don't think has any grey area (and also stupid as hell, what kind of MMA fighter kicks someone in the groin?) as in no version of the story did he start anything with player 3 here.
But whatever, "feminist" cunts can get all excited about it since a dumb man like me couldn't possibly have been as horrifically sexually assaulted like she was, and therefore couldn't possibly know what I'm talking about </sarcasm>

"So if a female squeezed a guys butt and the guy and his buddy proceeded to beat the shit out of her, you guys would be singing their praises too right? Bunch of insane SJW, white knight, feminist, psychos."

Yeah that movie was great! Scared me as a kid though I wouldn't be surprised if that was the movie that sparked CiC into his conspiracies though (the director supposedly based the aliens off of jews)
Anybody know a place to buy the Chinese red pockets? Preferably in downtown/Chinatown, but Richmond can be done too. I'm getting married tomorrow and need a fuckton of them so I can give my hard-earned money away. (Not bitter at all)
