Right, but we’re talking about the eye, which glasses are made to focus light into a pin-point with in combination with the natural refractive properties of the eye itself when placed at a specified distance from the eye. Naturally if the glasses were specifically created with a more appropriate focal length, it would be much easier to start a fire with them.
I’m not sure this is correct. Is it not the case that when your glasses are the proper prescription for your eye, the light from any point source is focused onto one place on your retina? Otherwise your vision would be blurred with the image being spread over an area (the normal situation for people with myopia or hyperopia while not wearing their glasses)
But yes, don’t look directly into the sun, with or without glasses.
Excellent points, but the cookie banners were a response to the ePrivacy Directive, not GDPR. In fact the banners predate GDPR by about a decade! I know this because I decided to make my own banner that was slightly less annoying about five years before GDPR was a thing.
Funnily enough most of your points are still correct precisely because, as you say, “most people wholly equate GDPR with the cookie banners”.
There are a lot of ‘mini’ roundabouts in my country that are fully flat to the ground. The point is to set the rules for right of way, entering and exiting, indication etc in a way people find familiar (we have lots of roundabouts). Just one roundabout sign at each entrance with standard road markings and everyone knows what’s up.
I seem to completely misunderstand the dynamic.
As I see it, you have paid $700k for the house with the bank’s money (in this thread there is no deposit), bought back some of the house from the bank with $50k of your own money and then lost the house so you’re out $50k with no house.
If the bank does pay out some of the value of the house to you based on equity, it’s just going to be a smaller amount than $50k since the value of the house is lower and part of your repayment went to interest so you don’t even get $50k worth of equity. This feels like a worse position to me.
Like the bank has lost money for sure, but we are not getting that are we?
The retina is not as small as a pinhead, but the light from any source doesn’t get focused over the whole thing, it gets focused to a point. Anything else would mean the image is blurred, defeating the point of the glasses.
