I got blue lenses on Friday, and was able to watch Return of the Jedi today.
I hadn’t been able to watch flashy movies in some time. It’s not perfect-- I’ve got a post-movie migraine-- but it’s a lot better than getting blinded by every flashing scene.
I HATE BACKUP STABBERS!
Incapacitating “safety” signals which feel like they’re hammering nails into each ear.
The idea is that if you’re directly behind the truck, you’re hit with a warning, a warning so painful, so powerful, that even with the best ear protection, you can’t ignore it. For safety! Also can’t stand up or crawl out of the way.
I have sometimes been incapacitated, crossing the street, half a mile away. Which is better than being incapacitated in the target area, but still, they’re too dangerous.
I was hit with stab after stab after stab for what seemed like an eon earlier today. I was inside, but they still exceeded 75 decibels.
Backup stabbers. I hate these guys.
It only takes ONE bad apple:
I won’t endorse torture, but one person should not be in a position to inflict so much harm, including torture.
I really hate getting chased by dogs, or surprised by keepers sneaking up on me, with dogs, while I’m trying to read in the middle of the area where dogs aren’t allowed.
Woken up and very very very badly strobed, red light, at night, too long, very very very bad migraine and nausea.
Wrong, wrong, wrong, wrong, wrong.
Yes, the law mandates that drivers must fire these devices. But it’s not safe, and it’s not common courtesy to go around firing dangerous devices. At best it’s an in-group courtesy for those who aren’t endangered.
When someone’s playing electronic music, and you don’t have your ear protection handy, so you start hallucinating with everything changing color from orange to green to blue and back…
Helicopter buzzing continues through 1:20 am, construction noise starts at 8:00 am, not getting enough sleep.
Construction noise continuing, more than 12 hours, sore throat.
P.S. And the loud helicopter buzzing resumes before the loud construction noise pauses.
I just got back from an appointment, and they’ve resumed the construction noise. I can’t go outside in that direction to ask when the pain will end, because they’re firing strobe lights…
Safety through dangerous weapons! It’s the American way!
Construction noise again.
I sometimes wonder if a motorcycle helmet might offer better protection without squeezing the sides of my head. The whole-head coverage might help with sound. If it has its own sound system, that could provide pink noise for further protection. The faceplate might help with light. A cobalt blue faceplate might help with strobe lights. And the whole setup might help avoid concussions if I’m hit by a car again. (Someone else brought up the helmet idea in another discussion, I figure I’d mention some of my thoughts on it.)
Apparently they aren’t designed for noise protection…
I wonder if a layman could buy the noise protection earmuffs that aviation workers use?
