    I broke out my welding lens to look through. Worked very well. I can believe most of texas feeling the hurt since ‘we’ think we’re immune to most health and safety warnings published forthe general public.

          Mine too lol. I know that isn’t technically enough, but we aren’t talking instantaneous damage like a laser here. You need to be much more careful around stuff like that.

          Regular UV radiation is a gradient, like going outside without sunblock. You’re gonna burn if you are an idiot about it. Don’t stare at the thing for 60 minutes straight. We looked, we saw, and then we stopped looking.

      Yep, same here. The auto darkening set I normally use didn’t really work, but I just looked through a piece of spare glass I had lying around for a passive set.
