Hey everyone,
I'm looking to get my personal certificate extracted onto a cryptographic device through the IRS.
If I were to submit the application tomorrow, does anyone happen to know how long the turnaround time usually is for picking it up?
Thanks,
Hey everyone,
I was hoping I could get some advice from you all...
I'm looking to pick up a monitor for my mom—it doesn't really need to be anything high-end or super fast since she isn't gaming or anything. The main thing is that it absolutely needs to have height adjustment.
Since she’s mostly just using it for writing stuff in Google Docs, I’d love to find something that’s pretty budget-friendly if possible.
Thanks so much, Matthew.

That’s probably why nobody ever sends you any links!😂
Honestly, just grab a mortgage, buy a place, and in thirty-five years, it'll finally be yours.👍
Are you feeling a little frustrated lately?
Maybe you're having some issues with your identity?
Or perhaps things are just getting a bit lonely in your personal life?
Come on, just introduce yourself and tell us what's actually bothering you. 🤣
It’s not really about being excited... I mean, how old are you anyway? I’ve had long hair my entire life... well, at least for the last 15 years or so... and I think for the last 10, I've been shaving it down to look bald...🤣
Even so, I still feel like my hair is thicker than probably 85% of the population... even though I only get it cut once every eight months... I just use a decent shampoo and make sure to massage it right into my scalp🤣
So, there's this one specific syndrome I seem to notice with guys who rock long hair, and that's that they're constantly worrying about whether their hair is going to fall out or not...
I guess you can worry about your hair as much as you want, but I honestly think that—despite all that anxiety—genetics pretty much calls the shots...
So, look, I actually have a really great ophthalmologist I go to over in the West End area, at this clinic called Exacta...
Since it's a private practice, an exam will run you about $67, but (at least in my experience) you'll walk out feeling pretty satisfied with the service...
I guess it depends on whether you're the type who appreciates a bit of patience—first, they use a computer to get a rough estimate of your prescription, and then the doctor actually sits there trying out different lenses on you until they find that perfect combination... you can ask them absolutely anything, and if you've got any concerns at all, they'll give you a thorough answer and do a deep dive into your eye health and stuff...
To be honest, for years I used to go to Mount Sinai where the doctors are incredibly friendly and easy to talk to, and everything was just wonderful... except for the fact that they initially gave me a prescription that was a full point stronger than what I actually needed, and then they went and did the exact same thing again when my mom went in for her checkup a year later...
And then you end up blowing a ton of money on lenses or glasses, which doesn't just strain your eyes, but you eventually realize the whole thing was basically useless...
As for picking up actual frames, I’m planning to head out on my next trip and I'll definitely be looking once I get to Europe, because it seems like glasses might be quite a bit cheaper there... though, mind you, I'm talking about my own situation where I deal with astigmatism (which means thicker lenses) and a pretty high prescription... so a decent lens usually costs me around $333 just to keep them at a reasonable thickness... But I think you can find some really nice frames over there for maybe 170 EUR, with the same quality glass and everything...
