If I lost some vision after using my computer a lot, will I continue to lose it until I go blind or will it eventually stop? Because in that case I can just wait and have eyes surgery, gg | ||

There's: Black & Decker Bosch DeWALT Hitachi Makita Mastercraft (which is a local brand I think) SKIL (which is a budget brand it seems...) Any of these I should consider or avoid completely? Cheers. | ||

Because in that case I can just wait and have eyes surgery, gg I don't know but I always get mad when someone says comptuers ruin your eyes and then I see progamers who don't need glasses after dedicating their lives to playing video games. I don't think you will continue to lose vision quality until getting blind just from using computer, even if you use some ancient eye-damaging monitor from the 90s. The decrease can be kind of rapid when you're young but after that it should stabilize. I mean being 20 years old or older. I kept needing to "upgrade" my glasses when I was a kid but in the last few years I had to do it only ance it was a minor (0.25) difference compared to my last eye examination. | ||

I'm told it's preferable to pick a brand and mostly stick to it since some of the batteries are going to work between the products. Gonna need a drill mainly for now. Looking at consumer level stuff.

I only know about B&D and Bosch from EU. Bosch is in the top tier for individual use. Here it's also not so expensive if you plan on using it more than a couple time. B&D advertise a lot and I thing there are quite alike Bosch, but I cannot give you feedback on this brand. | ||

I used to work in a hardware store, and those two brands were definitely the ones with least returns. Cheapo crap sold the most but over 50% came back. I've also used powerdrills etc. by both myself and have no complaints. | ||

Because in that case I can just wait and have eyes surgery, gg I've sat in front of a computer screen since I was 12 or so and still have perfect vision. I recently had a vision test done as part of a physical evaluation for a job and it came back 20/10 with no evidence of nearsightedness. I asked the doctor and he didn't seem to be too well informed as he said 'if you don't feel any strain in your eyes, you're probably fine.' | ||

I know the studio does but what about writers, actors, directors, producers, creators etc. Would depend on the arrangement when the movie was made, I know the guy from Crocodile Dundee has a sick deal for royalties on everything for that movie, but studios don't give out deals like that because of all the money they inadvertently gave away. I know that was the deal with shows like Seinfeld and syndication I think writers get looped in, but not at the levels the on screen talent does though. http://www.wga.org/subpage_writersresources.aspx?id=133#2 | ||

Dewalt are crap, but easy to fix (assuming you do that) I like the new power usage features of Makita as they last a lot longer per battery charge than either by B&D or my Dewalts. The reason to stick to one brand is interchangeability of accessories, interchangeable batteries, and you can bring all your tools to one vendor for repairs. The batteries are most important for when you use chargers. It's nice to only need 1 charger for all your tools as opposed to different chargers for each tool. | ||

And I repair my own equipment when it's easy and quick but if not I ain't got that much time to tinker anymore. | ||

I say What do you want to be like T-pain for?" He says "To win because T-Pain wins all the time." I ask him again what he wants to be T-pain for and he replies "To win." The cycle goes on. How can this be? Is this some paradox? What type of paradox is this? Is there some term for this limbo? How could I advance the questioning past the T-pain and win answers.? It is just classic cyclical reasoning. Usually it is a bit more hidden by a few more layers. | ||
