I have a 2018 forester, first owner, 45 000km (28k miles). Subaru recommend service at 100 000km/60 months whichever comes first (I am at 60 months). I know the CVT fluid replacement is important, but they ask 1400 Canadian $ +taxes (1610$). It seems expensive to me. What is your experience with the service schedule with Subaru? Should I do it or just do the cvt fluid replacement ? The maintenance of the tires/ brakes/ lights/ service battery /lubrification … it seems useless to me at 28k miles. What do you think? ——————————————————— Scheduled maintenance for 100,000 km / 60 Months Replace engine oil and filter Rotate tires Inspect tire condition and adjust all tire pressures including spare tire Remove, inspect and service front and rear brakes Inspect and adjust all fluid levels Inspect operation of all lights, wipers and washers Inspect and adjust drive belt tension if necessary Service battery Inspect axle boot condition Lubricate all latches, hinges and locks (hood, doors, fuel door and trunk lid) Inspect all steering and suspension components Inspect under body for damage Test coolant, inspect hoses and clamps Inspect engine & air cabin filters - replace if necessary Replace spark plugs Replace transmission and differential fluids Road test vehicle

Re: free standing vertical storage racks. There appear to be three "name" options & most other versions I've found are copies of these:

• BikeNook by Thane - seems to be the most marketed
• Storraboks
• Pro Bike Tool

I ordered the Pro Bike Tool. It assembles easily & doesn't seem like much, but it held my 40lb Trek FX fairly well. I expected it to be less stable. The only issue is that it doesn't work with fenders and rack.
The fender issue is that the Trek uses full length mudguards that cover 1/2 the wheel circumference. What this means is that if your bike is rotated vertically to stand on the rear tire, when it reaches 90 degrees, the fendemudguard rests on the ground, not the tire. If the mudguard was a little shorter, you would be able to tilt it back a scooch further to rest like the bike should.
YMMV. I'm happy to remove my fenders. Though it also means finding an alternate way to run the wires to the integrated tail light (since they run under the fender) or losing it completely.
However, in addition to the fender, the rack that is included with the Trek FX prevents you from being able to rotate the bike on its rear wheel for storage becasue the arc the rack makes when you put it on the stand interferes with the vertical arm that holds the seat post. Although I'm willing to get rid of the fenders, I don't really want to lose my rack just to be able to store my bike.
I haven't tried the other two. The Sttoraboks one looks kinda flimsy & has mixed reviews. They put nice casteron the bottom to aid in moving it around ocne the biek is on it. But the feet don't really seem wide enoughto create a stable base.
I'll probably try the BikeNook with the rack attachement, but I don't have a lot of faith. Although the BikeNook is mostly well reviewed, the few reviews that mention the rack attachement say it's pretty useless & doesn't work that well.
Would love to hear if others have had any reviews. I am pretty sure the Pro Bike Tool one I have would work fine with my bike with no rack on it. I may consider a small front rack since I really only use luggage for errands & not touring. I don't want a removable rack because I know that just means I'll never use it.
If I get any of the other ones liste, I'll add to this since it's pretty difficult to find anything but "OMG THIS IS THE BEST PURCHASE EVAH!" BS type reviews of these things.

I'm trying to make a little physics engine in C++ with OpenGL. I'm trying to make collision logic using bounding boxes and it works for the most part. But only when their x and y positions are the same (at zero). If the distance between them gets any higher the rigidbody falls off. I've been trying to solve this for a while. But The collision works fine and detects when the objects are intersecting. Here's the collision logic:

// Check for collision only if the distance is less than a certain threshold if (CollisionDetector::detectCollisions(rigidbody, boxRigidbody)) { // Calculate collision normal float distance = glm::distance(rigidbody.getPosition(), boxRigidbody.getPosition()); std::cout << distance; // Calculate minimum penetration depth based on combined radius/bounding box half size float minimumPenetrationDepth = rigidbody.getMass() + boxRigidbody.getMass(); if (distance - minimumPenetrationDepth <= 0.01f) { glm::vec3 collisionNormal = glm::normalize(rigidbody.getPosition() - boxRigidbody.getPosition()); // Calculate relative velocity glm::vec3 relativeVelocity = rigidbody.getVelocity() - boxRigidbody.getVelocity(); float relativeVelocityNormal = glm::dot(relativeVelocity, collisionNormal); float restitution = 0.1f; // Adjust the coefficient as needed // Calculate impulse magnitude for normal direction float j = -(1 + restitution) * relativeVelocityNormal; j /= 1 / rigidbody.getMass() + 1 / boxRigidbody.getMass(); // Apply impulse for normal direction glm::vec3 impulse = j * collisionNormal; // Update velocities for normal direction rigidbody.setVelocity(rigidbody.getVelocity() + impulse / rigidbody.getMass()); boxRigidbody.setVelocity(boxRigidbody.getVelocity() - impulse / boxRigidbody.getMass()); // Resolve penetration (rigidbody.getMass() + boxRigidbody.getMass()); // Use combined mass for center of mass calculation const float percent = 0.2f; // Penetration percentage to correct const float slop = 0.1f; // Allowance to prevent jittering float penetrationDepth = distance - minimumPenetrationDepth; if (penetrationDepth > slop) { glm::vec3 correction = (penetrationDepth - slop) * collisionNormal; rigidbody.setPosition(rigidbody.getPosition() + 0.5f * correction); boxRigidbody.setPosition(boxRigidbody.getPosition() - 0.5f * correction); } // Calculate relative velocity in the direction of the tangent (friction) glm::vec3 relativeVelocityTangent = relativeVelocity - (glm::dot(relativeVelocity, collisionNormal) * collisionNormal); float relativeVelocityTangentMagnitude = glm::length(relativeVelocityTangent); // Calculate friction coefficient float frictionCoefficient = 0.2f; // Adjust as needed // Apply friction impulse if there's relative tangential velocity if (glm::length(relativeVelocityTangent) > 0.0f) { // Calculate impulse magnitude for friction float frictionImpulseMagnitude = frictionCoefficient * j; // Clamp friction impulse magnitude to prevent reversal of relative motion frictionImpulseMagnitude = std::min(frictionImpulseMagnitude, relativeVelocityTangentMagnitude); // Calculate friction impulse vector glm::vec3 frictionImpulse = glm::normalize(relativeVelocityTangent) * frictionImpulseMagnitude; // Apply friction impulse rigidbody.setVelocity(rigidbody.getVelocity() - frictionImpulse / rigidbody.getMass()); boxRigidbody.setVelocity(boxRigidbody.getVelocity() + frictionImpulse / rigidbody.getMass()); } // Calculate angular velocity change due to collision glm::vec3 rA = rigidbody.getPosition() - boxRigidbody.getPosition(); glm::vec3 rB = boxRigidbody.getPosition() - rigidbody.getPosition(); glm::vec3 angularVelocityChangeA = glm::cross(rA, impulse) / rigidbody.getMass(); glm::vec3 angularVelocityChangeB = glm::cross(rB, -impulse) / boxRigidbody.getMass(); // Apply angular velocity change rigidbody.setRotation(rigidbody.getRotation() + angularVelocityChangeA); boxRigidbody.setRotation(boxRigidbody.getRotation() + angularVelocityChangeB); } } 

Here's the rigidbody script if you're wondering:

class Rigidbody { private: glm::vec3 position; glm::vec3 velocity; glm::vec3 acceleration; glm::vec3 force; float mass; glm::vec3 gravity; glm::vec3 rotation; // Bounding box dimensions glm::vec3 boundingBoxMin; glm::vec3 boundingBoxMax; glm::vec3 colliderRotation; public: Rigidbody(glm::vec3 initialPosition, float initialMass, glm::vec3 initialGravity, Model& model, glm::vec3 initialRotation) : position(initialPosition), mass(initialMass), velocity(glm::vec3(0.0f)), acceleration(glm::vec3(0.0f)), force(glm::vec3(0.0f)), gravity(initialGravity), rotation(initialRotation) { // Get bounding box from the model boundingBoxMax = model.GetMaxBoundingBox(); boundingBoxMin = model.GetMinBoundingBox(); // Calculate initial bounding box dimensions after considering rotation } void applyForce(glm::vec3 externalForce) { force += externalForce; } void update(float deltaTime) { force += mass * gravity; // Apply Newton's second law: F = ma acceleration = force / mass; // Update velocity velocity += acceleration * deltaTime; // Update position position += velocity * deltaTime; force = glm::vec3(0.0f); } //here would be all the getters and setters

Happy Monday! - I have two more of the brand new, latest and greatest modded VSF "no-dates" available for anyone who might have missed out on the last one I posed the other day. These are the latest version with the upgraded VS3230 movement which has NO GHOST DATE!!
As you all know, this is a top-tier, NWBIG piece with an amazing power reserve. This is the latest "Q66" batch! The watch will also come with a Rolex warranty card. These are both inspected, tested and ready to go!
In addition to the modifications spec’d out below, all of my watches receive the following quality control:
1.) Line up the dial at 12 o'clock to the engraved Rolex coronet on the rehaut (best as possible) 2.) Thin crystal gasket (because it can be too tall) this allows the crystal to sit lower and bezel to rotate more freely on certain watches 3.) Reinstall/rotate crystal to line up the cyclops to the date window and LEC 4.) Grease all gaskets using Bergeon 7055 5.) Adjust bracelet to desired length and tighten all screws/clasp 6.) Remove any burrs from the stem to ensure tight/smooth operation 7.) Visually inspect movements, remove any foreign debris/dust and apply Möbius 9010 oil as needed 8.) Ultrasonically clean and lubricate entire bracelet and clasp mechanism to eliminate any squeaking
-VSF 124060 w/ VS3230 Movement -"Deep" Crystal -Polished Rehaut -Individual Bezel Scallop Polishing & Re-brush -Genuine Hytrel Ring (better bezel fit/action) -Edge Softening of Case/Bracelet/Clasp -Waterproof'd to 5ATM -Regulated Movement
ALBUM
Price = $925 + shipping (USPS: Priority $13/Express $30/Canada $40) I ship the same day and am based in Boston.
I take all of my photos using an iPhone 15 Pro. I don’t use any filters, or effects and try to get various angles and lighting to most accurately depict the beauty of the watch. Many, many, many satisfied clients and references available.
———
Pricing is firm. I accept ZELLE, WISE or BANK WIRE ONLY. If you tell me that you’re “taking it”, I will hold it for you for 15 MINUTES before it goes to the next in line.
I have sold a lot of watches prior on and have an extensive post history on .
Standard disclaimer: I will pack the watch very securely with lots of bubble wrap. Once the package leaves my possession, I will no longer be held responsible for anything that might happen during the shipping and handling process. I also will not take the watch back if you decide you don’t like it, or that your significant other is angry at you (yes, this has happened before). I will however always do my best to ensure that you’re happy with your purchase.

PART 2

Max spent the evening jimmying the door back open. Then he set himself about seeing what kind of reactions he could get out of Ruth. So far it seemed only to be nature stuff, no politics or sports seemed to spark any interest. There had been a brief moment when he thought she started lighting up when he put the news on but, as it turned out pretty fast, she started to go still, the little stud bits stopped rotating and the ‘elements’, (as he remembered,) started to sink. Frightened, he quickly put on another documentary with an interesting narrator. She perked up again a short yet agonising minute later.
As a precaution he left the same channel on repeat so she could watch, and then he retreated quietly to his study so he could Google stuff like ‘artificial intelligence’ and ‘can water come alive’ and ‘alien machines’. Needles to say, he came away frustrated and no closer to understanding what the hell this thing was, though he did learn about some outlandish theories that the pyramids were built by aliens.
He peed, shoved a ham sandwich down his Gregory Peck, brushed his teeth and quickly shoved his joggers and a t-shirt on, dragged his bedding downstairs and onto the sofa. He adjusted the cushions across the room from the table and re-squared the carpet again.
At this moment, Scat, the long-haired tabby that he inherited from his mother, jumped arthritically onto the table. He stared with wide pupils at Ruth for a moment and snuggled himself down on the shiny table-top, as close to her as the bamboo plant would allow. He fell asleep almost instantly without his usual routine of ‘feed me, love me, now get the hell off me and let me sleep for 16 hours straight’.
“Right, Ruth,” he told the contraption, “I’m going to be sleeping here until... well, I’ll be sleeping here. If you don’t mind. If I snore, I would tell you to kick me but you don’t have legs now, do you? Maybe we’ll have to ask your maker, huh? When he comes back I’ll tell him you want to walk! Haha, he’ll think I’m a nutter. But I ‘spose talking to you I’d be a nutter by anyone’s standards, wouldn’t I?”
Ruth just stared at him.
Max felt a little uncomfortable again, now the windows were blacked out by the night and the only light that seemed to come from anywhere was the now-muted TV, the occasional passing car and Ruth. The only sounds came from a slightly squeaky nostril of a dead-to-the-world cat. That feeling of being watched had returned and somehow things seem more sinister in the dark, when it’s quiet, when nobody else is around, when everyone else is asleep…
He got up, turned all the lights on in the room.
Standing by the switch seemed ludicrous but he couldn’t help it. She was definitely watching. All the glitter was at his end of the tubes again, and it followed him as he sat down and pulled the duvet under his chin again.
“Well, night then… see you in the morning… sleep well…”
She didn’t answer.

Max woke up at some point after midnight. He had been having nightmares about being chased by something he couldn’t see, about some big raging ball of energy being just over his shoulder or in his periphery. He never caught sight of it but it touched him and he jolted awake.
Everything was exactly as it was before he fell asleep, except the TV had clicked into standby and was making a faint high-pitched squeal.
Should have got a new TV by now Max, he told himself.

The next morning Max woke sitting bolt upright, Ruth glittering her way towards Scat’s side and generally giving off the vibes she likes him. Th cat evidently heard Max move on the sofa, propped his ears up, yawned and stretched.
“NO, SCAT!” Max shouted and leapt towards the cat, just as he was doing his insanely stereotypical cat-like stretch where his chest goes down and his outstretched arms go forwards and butt goes backwards… right into Ruth.
“Don’t touch it, Scat!”
Oh, but he had. He set Ruth rocking slightly and Max could only stand and watch with his hands stuck to his head like he and his mates did when they were watching England trying to win the World Cup with penalties, painstakingly failing every single attempt.
I can’t touch it if it goes over it’s so screwed I’ve lost him the Nobel Prize this thing is alive does that mean I’m a murderer because of my cat what have I done what do I do fuck fuck fuck what can I do what can I
Ruth rocked her final rock and settled back onto the table without a final bounce-back. She sat as if she was glued to it now, never to be moved again.
Max sat and let out a relieved shuddering breath.
“Ohmygod. I thought you were a goner, Ruth! Bloody hell. Right,” Max stood up, pointed his irritated finger at Scat, “you, come here!” He grabbed the nonchalant son-of-a-gun from the table and promptly plonked him outside the kitchen door.
“You have no idea what you just did. None! I’d strangle you if I wouldn’t miss you, you know that?” he told Scat. In response, Scat rubbed himself over Max’s jogging bottoms and meowed for food.
“Fine. But you’re eating out here, you’re in the doghouse, mister,” he said, trying to maintain his anger despite his relief.
Max scooped out half a tin of the expensive stuff and mashed it in the bowl. Scat had a ear condition that his mother had been insistent was due to insufficient and inadequate food, hence this kitty being much much more of a kitty when he was inherited, though he turned out to be the right amount eventually. The problem was, because of her ridiculous and overly pompous pampering even by Max’s standards, this is all the damned creature would eat and he was getting skinny in his old age.
“You idiot,” he told Scat. “You could have scuppered us both, buddy, and we don’t even know what we got yet. When you’re done stuffing your face I’ll come let you in again, ok?” He stroked the full length of Scat’s back to the tip of his tail. “But stay off the damned table.”
Max wandered back into the front room to spend some more time with Ruth.
“So, Ruth, I was thinking, I know you like the nature documentaries and all, but the…”
Once again, as Max rounded the corner he stared at Ruth. She had changed shape. No longer was she a mass of glass tubes and glitter, she was an untamed riot of glass tubes and glitter which distended at the centre into that could only be described as a flat glass bubble with one tube going in and one going out on each side. Most of the glitter had formed clumps in the middle and was blobbing back and forth and looking like if Flubber mated with fairy dust and smoked weed while dancing the rumba.
“You gotta be kidding me!”
Max flopped down onto the sofa again, staring. It seemed to him he spent most of his life staring, these days. Staring at Ruth, staring at the TV, staring at the back of his eyelids, staring at Ruth some more…
Maybe that’s how flies feel, he thought, they don’t have eyelids. Must be horrible always having to stare around, not being able to control what you’re looking at. Annoying and stupid. Not like they understand what they see, anyways.
Max called in sick. Told them he’d be out for at least a fortnight.

He let Scat back in a few hours later, a Scat who ungratefully only ate half his food, altogether bypassed Max, shunned his table banishment and delicately placed himself next to Ruth again, immediately falling back asleep and making Max jealous.

It wasn’t until a few days later that Max realised he had no food in the house, except for one of Scat’s tins, and he absolutely was not going down that road. He had eaten cat food once as a dare while in college and he had thrown up for an hour solid. He made sure the first instalment went directly over his flatmate’s shoes. Serve him right for daring him in the first place.
Dare him to dare me anything again! Yeah!
Reluctantly it was time to go shopping. Instant noodles and trail mix could only sustain one’s life force for so long, and that ‘so long’ had come and gone.
Groceries unloaded, Max had a special little baggy of handmade organic treats in hand that he fully intended on unloading on Scat the second he got in (no, Max told himself, not to try and win my cat’s affections back from an inanimate object, that would be ridiculous.) Where was that cat, anyway?
He ambled into the front room, Ruth as solid and purposeful as always. Scat was where he had been, doing his best round rock impression on the table. He hadn’t been allowed on the table before Ruth arrived, (table-top fur floating into his breakfast eggs was not something Max would tolerate,) but now Max figured it was too late to break the habit. Perhaps once Ruth was given back to her rightful owner he would have to proverbially piss on the boundaries again, mark out what Scat was and was not allowed to do, and hope it worked. It probably wouldn’t. Dopey old thing.
And here was the dopey old thing, soft as ever, tucked up around that bamboo that was finally growing!
He poked Scat on his shoulder and wiggled the treat bag in front of his nose.
“Come on, up you get. Got summat tasty for ya!”
Scat didn’t move. He stroked him and gently called his name. Nothing. Ruth was glittering her way towards Scat again, fiercely and somehow tentatively, lovingly, bobbling around in the flat bubble. A sharp stab of fear thrilled through Max. He dropped the treats and picked the cat up but he flopped gently in his hands, tail limp and dangling.
“Scat! Scat, no! Come on, bud, wake up! Scat!” He started to sob, held him up to his face and cried into his fur. Max held him for what felt like hours, until finally he dug a hole in the middle of the lawn where he could see from most rooms, put him in a blanket-lined box three feet down, and planted the lucky bamboo on top of him.

I imported a camera from another blend file because I want its exact movements, however the camera does not start in the right position. If I rotate and reposition the camera only the first keyframe is correct and all the rest go back to the original rotations and positions.
I read that I can use the graph editor to achieve this however I'm running into problems.
My first step is that I was trying to rotate the camera on the Z axis exactly 180° and when I select all the points on the "Z Euler Rotation" and press "R" and then type 180. The math is incorrect. As in, my starting position was -407° I rotate by 180 and the end position is -296° not -277° like it's supposed to be.
My main problem is that when I import the camera it is facing the wrong direction in the scene so when I rotate and adjust the position of all the keyframes, it is moving in the wrong direction. I couldn't figure out how to really explain in writing so here's what I mean.
https://preview.redd.it/pw2af5kwa80d1.png?width=894&format=png&auto=webp&s=97a37c6aad397f63b9256e98c20d06f72631aeb5
Here's a video too that shows the movement it should be vs what it is after I adjust the graph.
As you can see the camera is moving left and then the next shot jumps diagonally to the stables in front of the camera. But when I adjust the position and rotation in the new scene to match it moves right and jumps the opposite direction. My brain just cannot think straight about how to achieve what I had in my original scene unless i edit every keyframe which I'd rather not do since its a long scene with many keyframes.

Neuvo Simonelli MDXA burr replacement. I can't find any information how to. It looks like just pull the top collar & then the top burr holder, 3 screws hold the burr. But the bottom looks the same, 3 screws... is that it??? I've read not to move the adjuster knob, but no other information... I've done my Cunill All Metal, which was easy... and none of the shops near by have any info. Anyone actually done this??? ps is it 68mm (which rotation?)

Zocular is a company started by an ophthalmologist that creates skin and dry eye products based on an okra complex named Zokrex. You can review the company’s website here: https://zocular.myshopify.com/
The company also created a product for dry eye professionals to use with patients called ZEST which stands for Zocular Eyelid System Technology. Some of the content off the company website will give you an idea of their assertions about their ZEST product as follows:
With a simple in-office ZEST procedure using our ZocuKit pack, dry eye symptoms as measured by SPEED score can improve by at least 50%.
Note: according to the American Academy of Ophthalmology: Standard Patient Evaluation of Eye Dryness Questionnaire (SPEED) = The SPEED questionnaire was designed by Korb and Blackie in order to quickly track the progression of dry eye symptoms over time. This questionnaire gives a score from 0 to 28 that is the result of 8 items that assess frequency and severity of symptoms.
Now, to be fair one needs to consider this SPEED score finding is a subjective measurement and only one tool. A more scientific approach would include objective tests that could include diagnostic tests such as meibography (imaging of Meibomian glands) and tear film analysis tests as well. Not just one tool. These objective tests can provide a more complete view of the gland's health and if ZEST really works well or not.
All Zocular products incorporate our patented Zokrex technology with activated okra polysaccharide complex and is the only other clinically proven system to demonstrate effectiveness against Demodex1.
THE SOLUTION: Eyelid and skin hygiene are essential to solve the underlying inflammatory response. While there is a plethora of options for dry eye and skin care, there's only one option that was specifically developed by an ophthalmologist for his own dry eye problem. Zocular® products change the paradigm for managing eye and skin conditions by incorporating a patented activated okra complex called Zokrex™. Dry eye specialists throughout the world turn to Zocular for their toughest cases. Zocular has also developed an eyelid debridement procedure called ZEST that's performed in the doctor's office to provide immediate and dramatic improvement in dry eye symptoms within minutes. Visit Find Zocular Professional to find a dry eye specialist near you.
OK, let us move on. ZEST treatment uses their proprietary product called Zokrex applied to the eyelids and eyelid margins to clean and gently exfoliates them. Using this method, by removing debris, bacterial biofilms, and dead skin cells, the ZEST procedure is designed to help the Meibomian glands to function better. ZEST is performed directly in a doctor’s office, typically by an eye care professional. The procedure is quick, often taking about 10 minutes.
While immediate improvements have been reported and can be dramatic for some, patients usually need follow-up ZEST treatments and/or other ongoing treatment strategies to maintain the benefits and manage dry eye symptoms long-term. The company recommends follow up treatments with ZEST every six months.
The ZEST procedure does involve a form of lid debridement similar to other methods like BlephEx or manual lid debridement, but it has its specific characteristics and tools which are less aggressive and gentler on the eyelid and eyelid margins. Thus less risk of damage to lid margin epithelial cells that could possibly allow more inflammation to occur, not less, along with more scarring of the Meibomian gland orifices and obstruction of them as well.
BlephEx: This method involves a mechanical handheld device equipped with a rotating sponge tip that the doctor uses to precisely exfoliate the eyelid margins. BlephEx directly targets the buildup of biofilm and bacterial debris along the eyelid and lash line, which are major contributors to eyelid inflammation (blepharitis) and dry eye symptoms.
Manual Lid Debridement: This traditional approach might involve the use of various tools like metal tools, swabs, or specialized brushes. The doctor manually scrubs or removes the scales, crusts, and debris from the eyelid margins. This method is very direct and can be adjusted based on the severity of lid debris and gland dysfunction.
All 3 of these procedures aim to improve eyelid hygiene and function, reduce bacterial load, and promote the healthy secretion of oils from the Meibomian glands. The choice of procedure typically depends on the specific needs of the patient, the severity of the symptoms, and the doctor's expertise. While ZEST offers a gentler alternative with the use of natural extracts, BlephEx provides a more mechanical cleaning, and manual debridement offers the most traditional approach.
The ZEST protocol uses specific tools designed to effectively clean and treat the eyelids. Here are the key components:
ZocuSwab or ZocuSponge: These are specialized applicators used to apply and work the Zokrex gel into a lather on the eyelids. They are designed to be gentle on the sensitive skin of the eyelids while effectively removing debris and biofilm.
Zokrex Gel: This is the main cleaning agent used in the ZEST treatment. It contains a refined extract of okra, which is known for its soothing and anti-inflammatory properties. The gel helps lift and clear oil, debris, and residue from the eyelid margins.
Saline Solution: After the Zokrex gel has been worked into a lather and used to cleanse the eyelids, it is typically rinsed off with a saline solution to ensure that no residue remains.
These ZEST tools work together with the intention to provide a thorough cleaning of the eyelids. The process is designed to be gentle to avoid irritation while being effective enough to provide at least some immediate relief and improvements in eye comfort.
Just so you know, the ZEST procedure has not been USA FDA approved because it does not involve drug or medical device components that require FDA approval and thus cannot be submitted for approval to the FDA.
Research study wise there is nothing I can find on ZEST other than a prospective study titled:
Meibomian Gland Dysfunction Management With ZEST Protocol
See here: https://classic.clinicaltrials.gov/ct2/show/study/NCT03968731
Information on this prospective study was last posted July 14, 2022 showing the study was completed on May 31, 2020. This means the last patient in the study was seen so the study to that point is finished. I cannot find that it has been published anywhere as yet. Thus the scientific research on ZEST is still none at this writing unless I just missed finding the study published somewhere.
Thus we patients have to rely on anecdotal evidence that comes from the company, observations, theories, testimonials and doctor opinions in coming to a decision.
Speaking of doctor’s opinions, this one on ZEST is pretty comprehensive by Dr. Leigh Plowman, an Optometrist in Australia, here:

Bug Fixes and Improvements

Stability [All Platforms]

• Fixed a game crash caused by quickly and repeatedly changing the number of Drivatar AI opponents in Free Play event setup. [1717959]
• Fixed an issue that occurred when exiting out of pre-race in Free Play quickly after switching cars or modifying the event setup would cause a soft lock in the loading screen. [1732080]
• Fixed a stability issue when the player would exit to Event Menu while on track in during a Test Drive. [1751335]
• Fixed an issue in which disconnecting and reconnecting a controller would prevent the player from progressing to the game menu. [1734977]

PC

• Improvements have been made to video memory usage on PC.
• Addressed an issue where the screen would flash white when players entered the My Cars menu. [1749202]

• Fixed an issue on Steam where the Safety Star and Safety Superstar achievements would accumulate incorrect progress after a multiplayer race. [1738130]
• Fixed an issue where the player could not exit out of Career when hovering over event posters and pressing the right mouse button. [1717135]
• Fixed an issue where Exit Event messages could not be closed out using a Cancel Button (B Button/ESC Key/Right Mouse Click). [1717315]
• Selecting replays using the mouse no longer requires a double click. [1580893]
• We’ve made changes to how PC graphics settings are applied to ensure you are only prompted to restart the game when it is necessary. [1568770]
• Fixed an issue where the player is prompted to restart the game when only the ‘Show Framerate’ toggle has been modified. [1755225]
• Fixed a PC-specific issue where the game would crash when disconnecting a wheel and reconnecting with a controller in Featured Multiplayer. [1728706]

Gameplay [All Platforms]

• Introduced a Tire Wear Scale option to Free Play and Private Multiplayer, allowing adjustments to the rate at which tires are worn. 1x is the default value. At 2x, tire wear will occur twice as fast. Values range from .5x to 10x. This setting is found in the Event Setup Rules tab and in the Fuel & Tire menu when on track.
• Migrated the Open Class Tour in Career from the Builders Cup tab to the Featured tab. The Open Class Tour will be found in the Featured tab going forward.

• Fixed an issue in the Settings menu where resetting all options to default values did not apply to Audio Performance. [1731587]

Multiplayer – Matchmaking and Events [All Platforms]

• We’ve updated Safety Ratings in Featured Multiplayer by increasing the number of previous races the Safety Rating uses to determine your rating from 10 to 20, and by making on-track collisions more impactful to Safety Rating. Changes will take effect after your first race in Update 8.
• In addition, we’ve improved the matchmaking algorithm to search for a narrower range of Safety Ratings compared to your own. For example, players with an 'S' Safety Rating should no longer be matched with players who have 'E' and 'D' Safety Ratings. Groups will be connected to matches based on the player with the lowest Safety Rating.
• We’ve updated Featured Multiplayer events to use consistent weather conditions and avoid unpredictable weather transitions mid-race. [1750733]
• Removed the 2020 KTM X-Bow GT2 and the 2020 Lamborghini Essenza SCV12 from the Forza GT Series and added them to the Modern Factory Racecar Series in Featured Multiplayer. [1753741]
• Added the 2019 Porsche #70 Porsche Motorsport 935 to the Forza GT Series in Featured Multiplayer.
  • Developer’s Note: We’re currently working on recategorizing Forza GT racecars into separate spec divisions and expect to push these changes into the game this summer.
• Corrected an issue where the 1969 Lola #6 Sunoco T70 MkIIIB was eligible for the Vintage Le Mans Prototypes Series rather than the Prototype Group Racing Series. [1731588]

Car Balancing [All Platforms]

• The following cars have been rebalanced in Featured Multiplayer Spec Series:

Featured Multiplayer Spec SeriesCar NameChange Summary Forza GT Series2019 Ginetta G55 GT4Engine torque: +25% Car Mass: +13.4% Front Downforce: -45% Rear Downforce: -45% Early Factory Racecar Series1997 McLaren F1 GTIncreased Power 10% Early Factory Racecar Series1997 Porsche 911 GT1 StrassenversionIncreased Power 13% Lowered weight/ballast 3% Early Factory Racecar Series1989 Ferrari F40 CompetizioneIncreased power 10% Weight decreased 2%

Drivatar AI [All Platforms]

• Reduced unnecessary braking scenarios for Drivatar AI opponents. Examples of this include braking while attempting to pass, two cars wide in corners, at the apex of corners, and on straights.

Tracks [All Platforms]

• Increased the track material luminance to be more physically correct, improving the overall contrast and color saturation of the track. This affects newly released tracks as well as future track updates.
• Maple Valley has been refreshed with “Mobil 1 Presents Maple Valley” race day branding, which includes new track signage featuring Mobil 1.
• Fixed multiple pop-in zones across the entire Maple Valley track.
• Fixed multiple pop-in zones across the entire Mid-Ohio track.
• Fixed numerous areas across Mid-Ohio where textures were displayed at low resolution or stretched.
• Placed a barrier along the pit exit at Mid-Ohio Sports Car Course. To accommodate this change, leaderboards for this track have been reset.

• 2013 McLaren P1: Fixed an issue where the aero wing wasn’t displaying its deployment animation when accelerating after braking for a turn. [1592856]
• 1992 Volkswagen Golf Gti 16v Mk2: Fixed an issue where the Analog speedometer did not match the telemetry. [1652263]
• Fixed an issue on select cars where the fog lights or reflectors would instead act as brake lights. This fix applies to the 1998 Toyota Supra RZ, 2003 Ford Focus RS and 1997 McLaren F1 GT. [1730279] [1731165]

Livery Editor [All Platforms]

• Introduced a Vinyl Material tool to the Livery Editor which can be used to uniformly adjust all vinyl materials on a car from matte (non-reflective) to glossy (reflective). This includes a reset option to revert all vinyls to match car paint glossiness. Imported designs from Forza Horizon 5 using its similar feature will automatically inherit these values.
• When removing a livery from a vehicle, the color will now be reset to the default manufacturer color instead of the color when the player purchases it. [1731939]
• Adjusted the arrangement of hint buttons in Livery Editor at the bottom of the screen. [1741965]
• Fixed an issue in the Livery Editor where the save popup would not be shown when exiting after flipping a decal or creating a mask from a layer. [1739245]
• The 'Find Designs' menu is now accessible for rental cars when players try to open it from 'Design & Paint Menu' and 'Livery Mode Select' scenes. [1643182]
• Fixed an issue where the game was creating empty base model liveries. Forza base liveries will no longer be created and stored unless it's the current livery in use. [1551365]
• Added iconography to layers in the Livery Editor. The player can now see icons to indicate if it's a mask layer or a locked layer. [1370431]
• The background values (position, scale, color, etc.) will not change when the player is navigating through the lighting options panel. [1734187]
• Fixed issues when flipping the rotation of vinyls in the Livery Editor. [1728080]
• Fixed an issue to prevent zooming of camera if the mouse is over Livery Color Selector in all color modes (Normal, Manufacturer, Special) for consistency. [1721951]
• Addressed an issue where player brake calipers were displaying the wrong color instead of the expected special colors. [1712512]
• Fixed an issue in the Design & Paint menu where non-block color vinyl shapes ignored mask effects. [1630741]

Accessibility [All Platforms]

• Screen Narrator now properly narrates the “Place in Car Bay” scene. [1738094]
• Screen Narrator will now read associated credit bonuses as part of the option value names on Free Play Advanced options which affect credits earned during the event. This change also fixes the display of the bonus percentages for all players. [1721875]
• Fixed intermittent failures of Screen Narrator to read the tab names in the Builders Cup Series Selection scene. [1721928]
• Screen Narrator now fully supports the “Series Standings” leaderboard scene accessed from the Builders Cup Event Setup scene. [1721944], [1657223]

• Fixed an issue that caused text to overlap in the Fuel & Tire setup screen when text size is set to largest, and the language is set to [fi-FI] (Finnish-Finland). [1749301]
• Fixed an issue where the word “Pause” is not translated in [ja-JP] (Japanese-Japan). [1749465]
• Fixed an issue where the word “Hardcore” is not translated in several languages. [1749471]

Good job Pissman for the second 25k of the series, in California!
I've gotta start getting these done while it's actually Sunday, but I had a bad day yesterday.

Introduction

The Stochastic maps are large randomly-generated maps that use population data to place locations where people live. Generally, locations will be in populated areas, though rural areas with even a few structures nearby appear as well. I made these maps because most maps tend to focus on rural locations and meta-learnable locations, but I generally find urban areas more interesting to roam around. And while World is much more urban than it used to be, its distribution is perplexingly strange. I hope other people find them interesting as well.
I welcome any feedback about maps to include, mode + time settings, standings, summary statistics of interest and how they're displayed - whatever. Particularly, with the rotating country maps, please feel welcome to suggest any country you would like to see added to the list.

Standings

The top 5 players on each game are awarded series points: 5 points to 1st place, through 1 point for 5th place. Ties are broken by the sum of scores from all games played. (I might not stick with this standing scheme.)
