While it seemed like a fun prank at the time, I realize my prank fire extinguishers full of leaded gasoline were a mistake.

I know right, I recently replaced my glasses with transition lenses and it’s pretty nice.
Who doesn’t want automated sunglasses? Not seeing any downsides yet. Only thing I know they don’t work in cars, but I don’t generally drive so it’s ok
The technology has come a long way since the 90s
I find that they don’t “un-tint” when going inside fast enough for my liking, personally.
Creates kind of the opposite effect of going from a dim room into a bright space. Instead of evrything seeming extra bright, it just dimmed everything and made it more difficult to see.
One problem my mom did not anticipate was that she would be stuck effectively wearing sunglasses for my brother’s outdoor wedding, where was sitting up with the bride and groom for the whole thing (Indian wedding). She just looked like an asshole, and continues to look like an asshole in the just about every photo of the ceremony. Oops.
Haha. Good point. You pretty much always have sunglasses on outside like it or not. Even when its shady
In the cold they take too long to transition to clear. So you end up taking them off for a few seconds when you go inside. It’s only minorly annoying.
To be fair, regular glasses mist up anyway when going inside from the cold, so you take them off anyway
Didn’t really notice much in the winter here
Can confirm, it’s all positives with the only downside being that it costs a little more.
They have different varieties, some do work in the car
But then they would probably work in a well lit office too.
No, they don’t change inside (I’ve had them). They do have a slight tint all the time though, which isn’t a big deal.
Was it long ago? Mine have no tint
The human brain is very good at smoothing over brightness differences, even an oppressively well lit office is still typically an order of magnitude dimmer than the sun.
