Zenni's yellow 'night-driving' clip-ons are okay - better than the blokz lenses, but not as good as the $2 yellow safety glasses from Harbor Freight. These are my favorite self-defense glasses for driving at night: https:&#x

In the beginning of the modern era, electric light was fantastically expensive. People used just enough light to get by. LEDs put out 7x as much light as an incandescent bulb, so people can use 3x as much light as they need and still save m

Chickens are very efficient at converting bugs into human-usable protein (eggs). I think they're less vulnerable to the allergens on account of their higher body temperatures.

I find most "2700K" LEDs sub-optimal. Helped someone set up their office recently. It was too dark with 1 bulb in each of the 3-bulb ceiling fixtures (48" fluorescents). We found 48" 4000K LEDs in the ceiling fixtures. S
