What does "into" mean on Grindr?
It can technically just mean "what are you interested in," like movies or board games, but who are we kidding? Grindr may market itself as a dating app, but everyone knows that the vast majority of guys on it are looking for sex. If he asks you what you're into, he's asking about your kinks and sexual interests. Ditto if it's in the profile section. Most guys probably want to know if you're top, bottom, or versatile; if you're vanilla or into leather, s & m, rubber, etc; if you do anal and/or oral; and what kinds of guys you prefer.
What does this mark mean on my gold Bracelet?
It is the hallmark (signature/logo/ maker’s mark) of the jeweler who crafted your bracelet.Related, for your consideration:If your bracelet is 14K (Karat)Gold ,18K Gold and very rarely, 22K, look closely around the clasp and/or receiver to find the second hallmark.Gold content or the pureness of the gold alters the softness or hardness of the metal. Gold is measured in caratage or ‘kt’. You will need to determine how often you will be wearing your jewelry. Gold is a soft metal and can easily bend or be broken when in its most pure form.When buying gold jewelry you may Purchase 24kt, 18kt, 14kt or 10kt Gold in the USA. Other countries also allow 9 & 7 kt Gold to be sold. The Purest of gold is 24 kt. when you add other metal alloys such as copper, silver or palladium the hardness of the gold is increased. So the 24kt gold will be softest and then 10kt the strongest due to the other metal added to the gold. 24K is pure gold.Each gold variety (from 8K to 24K) has both a caratage and a decimal fineness. Pure gold equals 24 karats, or 24k, a caratage that can also be expressed in decimal form as .999 fine. Gold can never be 100% pure since there are always some impurities in it. The finest gold ever created was .999999 fine. The decimal is found by dividing the actual caratage by 24, the most carats gold can have.For example:14 karat gold is .583 fine because 14/24 = .583.It is 58.3% gold, and 583 parts out of 1000 are pure gold.Gold markings of 750 = 18K Gold, 585 and 583 = 14K Gold. This refers to the purity of gold and correspond with a caratage (Karat marking).Global Gold Markings and Their Significance333 - 8K Gold375- 9K Gold416 or 417- 10K Gold500- 12K Gold583 or 585-14K Gold750- 18K Gold916 or 917-22K Gold999-24K Gold
What does -2 and -2.5 eyesight mean?
So, power (numbers like you have cited starting from 0.25 D and going up by 0.25 D …example…0.25, 0.5. 1.00, 1.25, 1.50. 1.75, 2.00, 2.25, 2.50 etc) are various degrees of myopia correction. The higher the power means the higher your myopia. With this power how much can you read on the visual acuity chart (alphabet chart in docs clinic) is what is determined.The optometrist aims to give you the “x” power with which you are able to read the last line (6/6)The ability to see the last line on the visual chart (kept at 20 feet or 6 metres) is defined by terminology 6/6 (normal), 6/9 (one line less than 6/6), 6/12 (2 lines less than 6/6) etc.Do you need a spectacle power to read that 6/6 line? if no- then it is unaided or plano, meaning without needing glasses you can read the 6/6 line- that is normal.Some cannot read this line and need to be given spectacle powers…now which power makes you read that 6/6 line is what is prescribed to you as best corrected vision. So, someone may read that 6/6 line with needing only a small number like 0.5 D and someone may need as high as 10 D (just an example).

What is the difference between spherical and cylindrical power with regards to eyes? Is it true that cylindrical power doesn't change lifelong?
Spherical lenses are lenses taken out from a sphere such as a ball. Where as, cylindrical lenses are lenses taken out from a surface of a cylinder like a tumbler. Cylindrical lenses have an axis associated with them.Both, spherical and cylindrical power can keep changing through life. It depends how the power has been’tackled’ during vision tests and subsequent spectacles.In short, spherical power is dependent mostly on the shape and size of the eye. Where as, cylindrical is mostly dependent on corneal surface, lens surface, and, retinal disparities.These powers can change, but never become zero. Once a spectacle user, always a spectacle user.Cylindrical power is not ‘rare'. It is just that most opthalmologists/ optometrist are either not aware of proper vision testing procedure or, do not pay attention to what the patient is saying, or rely far more than necessary on autorefractometer ( computer), which, in my opinion, always provides a wrong reading.Remember, this is just an attempt to make it easy for readers to understand. Everything related to eye is not this easy.
Who invented the present calendar? How did they know BC and AD?
Pope Gregory XIII introduced the calendar we widely use and hence the name, Gregorian. It was introduced in 1582. So everyone was aware of when Christ was born. However, practice of BC and AD pre-existed.A Roman monk named Dionysius Exiguus set up the "AD" system in about 500 CE. AD stands for Anno Domini which simply means 'The year of lord' and it refers to the year when Jesus Christ was born. He worked backward using Biblical texts to estimate when he thought Jesus was born. Then about 700 CE, Bede the Venerable called the time before AD "ante uero incarnationis dominicae tempus," which is Latin for 'the time before the Lord's true incarnation'. Our English equivalent to that Latin phrase is "Before Christ. BC" So the short answer to your question is:Dionysius Exiguus gave us AD in 500 CE.Venerable Bede gave us BC in 700 CE.Pope Gregory XIII gave us the calendar which we preferably use.If you are left wondering what is CE, then you have thought for new quora question.ref: I have collaged the information from Anno Domini and When was the term BC (before Christ) first used and by whom was it used.?
Why do dogs smell after going outside?
I know the exact answer to this questionMost people answering this post has no clue about the topic in question. It does not have anything to do with sweat, heat, glands, or whichever. There were times when my AC broke, and our dogs would run and play indoors and they would not smell. However, once they are outside even just for a bit, they will have a strong odor. I’ve tested carrying around my dog in my arms and they’ve never touched the ground once. Still smelled.The most likely reason is like what the one other person said, which is that their hair absorbs the outdoor smell. In fact, when I'm home for a bit, I notice even people sharing a unique but similar outdoor scent on their clothes. A dog’s fur gives a much higher surface area for odor absorption.Here's probably the real reason some people notice this and some don't. I don't go out often, so I am not adjusted to the scent. Just like when you don't think your home smells like anything, but guests can smell everything when they visit. The wood, the food odor residue, your scent. Ive had people saying my room smelled nice and strongly of me, when I had absolutely no idea my room had any sort of smell. Basically, people who are out more often with their dogs won't notice the smell as easily. I know this to be true because initially, I walked my dogs alone everyday. Family members inside complained they smelled after and I couldn't smell it no matter how much I've tried sniffing. For whatever reason, we started taking turns per week walking them, and now, I can actually detect their strong smell when they come back from their walks.
