  • I only have transition lens on my prescription safety glasses because construction sites are hazardous to glasses and eyes at all times. I don’t always have clean hands for switching. And switching itself leaves your eyes vulnerable to shit while switching. It’s also the only time I don’t want polarized lens because they often make screens difficult to read.

    For everyday, I carry a polarized set and a regular set and get swapped between the same case. They are basically the same frames too so they both fit because my head is to large for most frames that aren’t sunglasses frames anyway. If I’m planning on being mostly outside, I may only bring the polarized lens because they don’t actually block that much light inside even though they block about %50 of the light outside. Tinted lens that aren’t polarized usually just cause additional eye strain for me anyway. Also only polycarbonate lens for outside also because even if they have no tinting they are blocking UV light.

    Clip on lens are prone to trouble. They will either scratch your prescription lens or just get gunked up themselves since you’re doubling the surface area that needs to be kept clean.

    In general I spend WAY more thought and money on things for or touching my eyes, feet, hands, and private sweaty bits. Try out things and see what works for you. For example, I was surprised how great wool socks are for hot sweaty climates.









  • Just one paragraph? I understand why that feels like an indicator of LLM use these days, but that actually sounds like a fairly common mistake human writers might make. Author decides to move a topic to a different section, copies it and rewords to suite new placement and forgets to remove the section from it’s original spot. A pro shouldn’t be making that kind of mistake, but it’s a particularly difficult one to spot in reviewing the article. It’s an error that is especially difficult to spot if you’re the author because of your own familiarity with the article. The only effective way I found to combat those kinds of mistakes in my writing was to delay my own review of my writing (sometimes as long as a day or two) after significant writing or edits. Clearly that strategy is unworkable in a fast paced journalism setting, where that kind of space between writing and editing cannot meet deadlines.

    This would look a lot different than the similar AI slop tell I see in news articles that repeat the headline across multiple paragraphs in a row with different wording and no new details or clarifications. I don’t see any of this in the article. I could not find the repeated paragraphs that you’re talking about. Calling back to previous points in an essay with various subsections, even repeating important points and details is often just good writing.
