Yeah they should just have a message pop up saying -

Fasttech you say. . . just see robby. . nudge, nudge, wink, wink.

As an example their tracking link will change to
"The item (RT*********HK) left Hong Kong for its destination on 16-Jun-2013"
after that I've never had their linked tracking site update beyond that but my stuff arrived.

Update, after close to 14 hours in moderation my Cancer Research UK finally got published.

As for the article in this OP, been having fun troll baiting.

If I'm at the extreme end of tired I really struggle to focus on things when working which happens a fair bit. My vison has always been very dodgy and I'm only 41 - been dodgy my whole life, had eye surgery when 5 years old.

I have the added "bonus" of not having true binocular vision since only one eye works properly due to a medical cock up during the mentioned surgery (I have three siblings, we all had the surgery, we all only have one fully functional eye - they don't do the surgery we had any more on kids). My good eye is mostly fine, it has vision that optometrists find amusing in that it is technically short sighted but an astigmatism corrects the eye almost perfectly. Tother eye has full function apart from it never focuses correctly.

On the plus side it makes buying new glasses cheap since I'm only ever paying for one prescription lens not two. Also my prescription has not changed very much in the last 15 years or so.
The really bad, even with glasses on no TV in my life has ever looked in full focus, I can't do many of these amusing picture thingies based on optical effects (them 3D pictures for instance, modern 3D TV/Film) since most rely on having two eyes working at the same time.

The device in question would probably not work quite right for me and if I ever need to would need a good old fashioned great big magnifying glass or a slightly more advanced version of the device which would allow very fine focus control.

So if you think you feel old, I've been squinting to see things for my whole life with nothing much optometry can do for me.

Yes, I've been enjoying that one.
I was accused of being sarcastic which I apologised for in a sarcastic way of course. . .

Ah I well remember my Scottish Higher chemistry days.
Free experiment dat where we created our own experiment and the teacher has a look afterwards to correct any mistakes and the like.

The day the teacher came back and the dozy woman poured our experiment down the sink. . .








I ask yah, what's wrong with making amatol ?

We spread the word for nobody to smoke near drains for a few days just in case.

Apologies, misread the last bit. . .
