I'm glad to hear I'm not the only one who is not a fan of Discovery. The first season or so wasn't bad...I kind of liked Saru. Then Pike appeared and that was interesting.. The last season...the DMA...was such a slog.

Do you have a fire extinguisher on hand? in c/asklemmy@lemmy.ml

How do you clean your glasses? in c/asklemmy@lemmy.ml
[–] SJSmith@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

Daily wash with water and foaming hand soap. Foaming soap on lenses, rub with fingers, rinse. Dry with cotton hankerchief. I usually keep my glasses 2 years before replacing and haven't had any issues with the anti-reflective coating washing this way.
