Any guesses why most of TSTDATD was never performed live?

Any guesses why most of TSTDATD was never performed live?

Setlist.fm has it ranked near the bottom for the number of tour plays, above only Supercollider, and that's mostly just because of We'll Be Back. I'm very surprised they never played Life in Hell, Nightstalkers, or Dogs of Chernobyl. I've wondered if Dave wasn't happy with how the album turned out -- I can't imagine why else they wouldn't feature it more.

I started experimenting with contacts for the first time in 15 years a few weeks ago. My optometrist had me start on daily, up & up for astigmatism brand, but they were uncomfortable and moved around on my eyes significantly when I blinked or looked around. I went back, and they gave me a trial of Precision 1 and said the fit appeared good, but i had the same issue, to the point that it made it difficult to drive or work because it got blurry so frequently. Then they had me try Total 1 for astigmatism dailies, but again, they moved around too much to keep in. At their suggestion, I was using Refresh brand lubricating drops several times as well.

I talked with some friends, and they all said they had better experiences with Acuve Oasys for astigmatism monthlies. Admittedly this was impulsive and uninformed of me, but i went on 1800 contacts and ordered some with the prescription I got for total 1 dailies. 1800 contacts called my optometrist's office, which approved the prescription change.

I got my lenses today and am wearing them now. They definitely don't move around nearly as much, but there is a constant feeling of discomfort from them being in my eyes. I was reading online, and I just learned that it's not advisable to switch brands or from dailies to monthlies without being checked by an optometrist first. That's my bad, though I also didn't think my optometrist office would approve the change if it wasn't advisable.

So now I'm not sure what to do. Should I go back and have them check the fit? Or should I give it a few days of wear first?

It's in the weight room of my local community center, which mostly has equipment from the 80s. None of the staff know what it's for.

My landlord is insisting it's poison ivy, but it seems potentially like Boston ivy to me. Am I wrong?

I'm (35m) just starting off with wearing contact lenses for the first time since I previously stopped wearing them, when I was 20. I had no physical discomfort issues at the time, just wanted a break from them. This time, I've been having lots of issues with discomfort: feeling like an object is in my eye, dryness, itchiness, and seeing the contacts move or mildly blur each time I blink.

I'm on my third brand of daily disposable trial contacts in the last two weeks (Total 1 brand for astigmatism this time). I've been using lubricating drops 5-6 times a day without much effect. Before starting this brand, I took a few days off from wearing lenses, and I had lingering irritation in each eye for about three days. I followed all instructions in terms of handling the contacts and didn't shower or sleep with them inserted.

My optometrist says the fit looks good and that my vision is 20/20 with them, but I'm still feeling concerned. I know some irritation at the beginning of wearing contacts is normal, but is it typical to have lenses move or blur when I blink? As far as I know, I have no problems with allergies or anything like that.
