      @@NuggetEternal light.Photochromic lenses block out 100 per cent of harmful UV rays and many people who already require glasses may find them more convenient. This is because they can benefit from having glasses that support their normal prescription and offer sun protection without having to switch between two different frames.
      How long do photochromic lenses take to work? Photochromic lenses begin to darken immediately when exposed to UV light, providing substantial protection within the first minute. After this, lenses will continue to darken gradually as the amount of light varies.The lenses typically take slightly longer to return to a clear state, but are noticeably lighter within a couple of minutes and almost completely transparent within five minutes.Are photochromic lenses affected by the weather?
      Weather conditions will have an effect on how quickly photochromic lenses change colour. As they use a thermal process, the lenses will not achieve a high level of darkness when it is very hot. On the other hand, they will go very dark in cold weather. Once they are away from UV light, cold photochromic lenses will take longer to return to a clear state than warm ones.
      Can I wear photochromic lenses while driving? Windscreens block UV rays pretty effectively, which means photochromic lenses will not work as well in a vehicle. Are there any disadvantages to photochromic lenses? While photochromic lenses are often seen as more convenient than swapping between different types of glasses, some people do not like to wait for them to darken and clear.

    You'll probably never read this, but just wanted to blurt it out anyway. I think what you touched upon at about 8.35 is one of the most redeeming factors of the small McD's burgers. Their structural integrity is second to none. They can be eaten in any situation without falling apart and without leaving a jizzy mayo mess on the diner's face. This is especially helpful considering they have a drive thru, meaning a lot of people eating the McD's burgers will be trying to drive while stuffing their face.
    As a person who identifies as a man with a hairy face, one thing that drives me nuts is when people make burgers that are far too tall to ever fit into a person's mouth with any level of grace. "Hey I put 9000 beef patties and 24 truffles in this mega burger" TO HELL WITH THAT. I have no doubt that the flavour, texture, ecological impact, mineral benefits etc of your sandwich/ burger are 1000x better than the original filet 'o' whatever (is it even really fish?) but just wanted to mention that the functionality of driving/ walking food should be considered in this showdown. In my opinion anyway.
    I am no McDonald's apologist, let's be clear about that, but I do love being able to eat a small burger without needing a whole roll of kitchen towel to wring the mayo out of my beard.

    So I made these and they were pretty excellent. I did just the fish, not the buns, but I have made the buns in the past so I can attest to their greatness. I simply wanted to make some fried fish. I did deviat slightly. I used Season Salt instead of Old Bay as I didn't have Old Bay and my wife isn't a fan.
    For procedure my only change was to double batter my fish. I didn't do this for any flavor reasons, I just had some fish that was already showing some signs of wanting to fall apart when I was battering it so I hit it with a second coat to make sure it stayed togehtwhile frying. It did result in a crispier crust since double battered of course, but honestly it didn't impact fry time at all (4 minutes per batch) and it gave a bit more of the flavor since more batter/crispier.
    10/10 would recommend. Would say for sure the Old Bay would have been excellent as well if I had some. Do think the double batter was a good idea as well. He doesn't mention it, but based on his outcome I'd be surprised if Josh didn't double batter his.
