Solar Eclipse Glasses?

Maybe they can reschedule for the weekend?

By popular demand, there is an encore on April 8, 2024. Sorry, if you live in the DPRK, you are not invited.

For those taking lipozene, you might also make the June 11, 2048 showing. Rumor has it there will be no traffic on any major freeway to or from viewing venues.
 
"Lunt" on Amazon. 5 for $10 NASA approved showed up yesterday. Ordered 2 weeks ago. :wtf

98% Totality here :smoking Party on teh roof :banana
 
As of yesterday - Lowes, Home Depot, 7-11, and Walmart were out. Amazon and ebay prices seem to be starting at $10/pair and only sold in multiples. The library was giving them out for free. I knew it and I still procrastinated. Dammit!
 
Picked up a #10 welding shield at the local hardware store.

Good to go. :)

Edit: crud, internet says #12 minimum. :rant

If you still have some floppy disks around, break open one and get the flexi disk inside; you can watch the eclipse through that material.
 
I have 2 welding shields in the garage. Should be gtg
 
I lagged on the buying of glasses also and got lucky that apparently Toys r Us sells them for $2 a pair and where I live they had a bunch in stock. Got them the other day and tested them yesterday and they work just fine.

Sending my panic buy Amazon Lunt glasses back.

You can probably sell them locally for mad stacks.
