    Correlation doesn’t necessarily mean causation, but every instance of causation is accompanied by at least one correlation.

    Disregarding correlation entirely is equally fallacious.

      Correlation doesn’t imply causation, but it does waggle its eyebrows suggestively and gesture furtively while mouthing ‘look over there’.

      I used a welding helmet I happened to have laying around. It worked great.

    Look I gotta admit this. I was using 80x sea binoculars to focus in on the eclipse with my eclipse glasses in behind the binoculars on my face. Fried a hole through the eclipse glasses and into my retina not horrible but similar to a plastic sand-which back looking through for a few hours. Got my eyes checked by a dr. Said it was minor ish. Got lucky. It was during totality. Hate Magats. But damn I was dumb.

    Texas had heavy cloud cover, which is why it doesn’t look as dumb as it is.
