I'd have told SWA "Go ahead and call the cops. You'll hear from my lawyer."

People have been talking about this ever since (and likely before) T Boone Pickens stole the water in western TX.
Old rancher's saying: "Men fight over land, but they kill for water."
shooting which requires both close-up vision (to see the signs) and long range vision (to see the target)
Unless your distance vision is *really* bad, to the point where you can't make out the target at all, distance vision doesn't have much impact on shooting. In a proper sight picture you should be focused on the front sight, and you also need the rear sight to be clear enough that you can verify precise alignment. The target will always be blurry, so having it a little blurrier because of nearsightedness isn't typically a problem.
I often tell the older shooters I teach to wear their reading glasses. Not only does the improved sight alignment help, but I think the inability to see the target clearly strongly discourages them from trying to focus on it, which helps even more.

Especially for those of us who aren't blind without them, what's wrong with putting a pair of glasses on for certain tasks?
One common technique for people who are close to or have age-induced presbyopia is to perform the surgery on only one eye, or, depending on the prescription, to apply it in different amounts. The idea is to get one eye which is good for near vision and one that is good for far vision. Sort of the same notion as bifocals, but applied directly to the eyes. Apparently the brain adjusts quickly and effectively to this and you end up feeling as though you have good vision at all ranges as long as both eyes are open.
I'm considering doing that. I'm 45 and my eyes have just begun to change. I'm still generally myopic, but so far the change just requires me to take my glasses off when doing close work. I'm going to give it a couple more years to be sure my eyes have more or less settled, then get surgery on one or both, in whatever degrees will give me the best overall visual acuity and flexibility.
If your eyes haven't actually changed yet, then it's something of a crapshoot. The idea is to adjust your vision based on guesses as to how they're going to change. That said, my optometrist says that they can make very good guesses. The only reason he's recommended that I wait is because I'm not far from the point where guessing won't be required, based on my history of general visual stability and current rate of change.
Does it have infinitely density?
After trying to look at it, I feel like I'm infinitely dense. Does that count?
Just in case Slashdotters were missing it, here's your chance to furiously masturbate to your daily Elon Musk spam.
Really? You can have IE NOT check CRLs every time you open a window?
They have hundreds of millions of single men which they need to keep employed.
Good thing the US is mortgaging its future to keep China together today.
I'm bandwidth-constrained. I'd prefer Windows didn't suck up bytes when I didn't ask it to. Is that so hard?
Lost interest right there. The author sounds hipster.
