But Jar-Jar was highly consequential, and not pointless at all. He was a delegate to the Senate, and he wanted to make a difference. As such, he took it upon himself to speak to the Senate, to grant Chancellor Palpatine emergency powers. Yo

Not OP, but another data point. I have been wearing contacts since I was 16, in 1994, most of the time. I keep a pair of glasses and wear them occasionally (perhaps every couple month on average, or more rarely) for a few days or a week. Fi

I'm similar to you (but with vim instead of neovim - I have to say VSCode with the vim extension is winning me over though). VSCode with rust-analyzer (edit: and CodeLLDB) provides a very nice environment for Rust development in my exp
