Do yourself a favor - DO NOT LOOK AT THE ECLIPSE
ReplyDeleteDo you know for certain the glasses are good? - I can also print codes on a piece of cardboard.
The glasses are flimsy - Rays are peaking in all over!
What exactly are you seeing? - Is it worth the chance - Its silly hype
STEERING AT THE SUN FOR AN HOUR CANNOT BE A SMART THING even with the supposedly certified glasses!
I don't believe we are capable of steering the sun. Only Hashem can do that. I do agree, however, that STARING at the sun for a long period of time with flimsy glasses is probably not a good idea. B"H for typos because that makes it easy for me to be dan lekaf zechus when I see glaring spelling and grammar mistakes
DeletePlease make sure your glasses are fully covered by your N95 mask.
DeleteSo you look down at people who make glaring spelling mistakes? Instead of walking around a big Tzadik, being dan lekaf zechus everyone - How about stop looking down at people's mistakes in the first place!
