I ride many hundreds of miles every month during the warm season here and have never had any stress injuries or anything like plantar fasciitis. Love my very well-functioning body.
Biking is very low impact. That's good because you're probably less likely to get overuse injuries than something like running but it's also potentially bad for things like bone density if it's your only form of exercise.

Photochromic lenses are actually really nice if you're outdoors in variable lighting conditions, to the point where they're kind of more convenient than not wearing glasses because you don't even have to think about sunglasses. Just buy them from zenni and replace them in a year or two if they wear out; it's still much cheaper than buying any glasses from glasses stores

This isn't 30 years ago when you would pay $500 dollars for glasses and have to make them last for years because they were so expensive

If you are always either inside or driving don't get them though

I think the main reason that photochromic lenses sometimes look like poo poo is just that people buy glasses that don't also look good as sunglasses. If you're trying to buy sunglasses off of zeni you're going to have that problem anyway. (Consider just buying them as normal sunglasses first since it's cheaper and it's good to have normal sunglasses anyway)

This is much less of a problem with thicker plastic frames that most people are wearing now than it was with whatever godawful glasses people were wearing 20 years ago like frameless poo poo though.

i thought the issue with transition lenses is that the light->dark->light photoreactive mechanism wears out pretty quicky, leaving the glasses more or less permanently trapped in an murky half-dark intermediate state after just a few months
Maybe they used to be worse. In my experience (and this is just with cheap non name brand photochromic lenses) it's more like after a year or two, if you compare them with normal glasses, there will be a barely perceptible yellow tint that nobody will be able to see when you're wearing them.

I assume it gets worse eventually after that but I tend to beat the poo poo out of my glasses so I generally replace them after every year or two.

That said, depending on the light you do also end up with lighter tints which I guess is kind of dorky looking if you wouldn't wear glasses with lighter tints otherwise, but on the other hand it's also kind of an advantage in certain lighting conditions.

To be clear, I had transition lenses from LensCrafters or wherever 20 years ago and I absolutely regretted it at the time too. They completely sucked when you were buying one pair of expensive glasses (plus a ton extra for the transition lenses) that would be the only pair you owned for like 5 years which is longer than they actually last and you would be wearing them in place of any other sunglasses. Of course you would have buyer's remorse.

It's just totally different when you're buying them online for cheap and you have a multiple pairs of glasses including normal prescription sunglasses. Honestly the whole way you approach glasses is different when you can get them for cheap online and reorder them whenever you want.

Edit: I also need to try to 3d print an adapter so I can use the lens insert from zenni goggles in ski goggles this winter

I wore contacts in high school and went back to glasses and I feel like glasses are just a zillion times less trouble.

I guess if I could easily get contacts without having to get a special prescription I would consider using them like once a year if I went skiing or something though.

i think fart sandwiches meant "beard" as in "person with whom a gay man pretends to have a heterosexual romantic relationship so that he can stay closeted with respect to the community (and she is in the know and happy with the arrangement)." not beard as in, like, hair on your face. cause the latter isn't so much a gay thing, and the 'in the south' doesnt make any sense except that in the south, a bastion of bullshit, yeah maybe somebody would be more inclined to not be out than they would on the best coast

it wasnt using 'gay' as an insult at all, either (and neither was mediaphage). just an odd reaction on mystes' part imo
