    I keep a micro fibre cloth next to my computer to give the glasses a rough clean when they need it, which is way too often. Eventually though you just end up smearing the grease around instead of wiping it off, that's when I get up and use hot water.

    I know how you feel, I never needed glasses until I was in my 40s but now I can hardly see anything without them. I have many pairs because it's easy to lose them or to sit on them. To clean them properly run hot water over them for a minute or so then dry them with a very soft cloth.

    Presentation Autrice étoile polaire

    Hi Askas, welcome to the forum. We get lots of people coming here to do surveys and studies, that is fine, but there are some normal protocols that should be followed. Your survey should be anonymous, so having to log in to google to fill out your questionaire goes against the rules. You...

    BBC allowed to charge licence

    Australia's own ABC fills the same role and is just as good, and it gets the community support that it deserves. We just never had to pay for it directly, they're funded straight from tax revenue. Just In They've gone down hill a bit over the last 10 or 15 years, they used to be my favourite...

    BBC allowed to charge licence

    I never understood how they could charge people like that in the first place, it kind of makes a lie out of the term "free to air". As far as I know the UK is the only country in the world that does this.

    Obesogens

    That is very true and relevant to so many countries around the world, a lot of what you say after that though seems to be specific to your own country. Some governments take a very active interest in their population's general health. In Australia a lot of US produced foods are classed as unfit...

    Weird Time Zones

    And then there's Kunnanurra, on WA time but so far east of Perth that sun rise is at 5:30 am and sunset around 5:30 pm. All their clocks are set to WA time but business hours there are 7:30 am to 3:30 pm to be more closely aligned with Darwin.

    Weird Time Zones

    Central Australian timezone is forward by 30 minutes as well, so Adelaide is at GMT+9:30 standard time. This was done very early on to try and keep business hours closer to that on the east coast and make things a little easier for interstate trade. Then there's Broken Hill, a mining town in...

    Obesogens

    There's a few different factors that contribute to weight gain, or lack of ability to gain weight in some people. Chemicals so prevalent in today's world will certainly be another contributing factor but to blame them alone would be very misleading. Genetics plays a role, some of us are born...

    I don´t fit in anywhere

    Hi and welcome to the forum. Your story isn't much different to most of us here. Most of us keep getting this sort of advice all our lives and it isn't helpful. There's no point in trying to explain things to them because the great majority of people simply aren't capable of understanding, to...

    Don't know how to deal with bad situation in life.

    I'm not sure if this would be helpful to you or not, but perhaps these sisters can give you something to dream about, it's important to have dreams. They escaped Ukraine and fled to Australia not long after the war started and they've been recording parts of their lives. They seem to have fallen...

    Weird Time Zones

    Australia has some very strange time zone differences during summer and even when you've lived your whole life here it can get a bit confusing. Some of our states have daylight savings and some don't, so in summer the clocks jump forward 1 hour in some states but not others. Add to that the fact...

    Don't know how to deal with bad situation in life.

    I'm the same. In primary school music lessons they sat me at the back of the class playing the triangle and I couldn't play that in tune either. That was the finish of my music career. :)

    I don't have any practical suggestions for you but I ask that you don't give up hope. Change is coming, slowly, but it's coming. New alliances are forming and new paths are opening up.

    I have a new 4 legged companion in my life now

    Sadly that's quite normal for 90% of the population. They'll never admit it, most won't even admit it to themselves, but as soon as a pet becomes inconvenient they'd rather dump it in some discreet manner than admit that they don't love animals as much as they pretend.

    There's many different types of Cordyceps, each one targets a specific type of insect. If there was a type that infected humans you'd have people crawling in to airconditioning ducts in airports and shopping malls to die.
