Let’s talk about the battery in smart glasses We were whizzing down the slopes, screaming because it is sort of ridiculous to go flying down a snowy hill in an inflatable tube.

Glasses tips??? Hi guys! I recently had to get glasses for driving etc and I love that I can see now, but without fail my glasses will always take off my makeup around my nose and under eye. I’ve asked some other glasses wearers what their tips are, and I’ve started baking my whole under eye and nose area which has helped a bit but not much. What are your best…

LPT: Try anti-glare/tinted/polarised glasses for night driving with astigmatism. You can get anti-glare/tinted/polarised glasses fairly cheaply online. I have large ones that slip over your glasses. My eyes are +6 with pretty significant astigmatism.

Screw some small hooks into the cupboard where the cups and glasses are kept. Every person gets their own hook and their own supply of different-colored rubber bands. When you t…
