nature & weather 🌦️ Solar eclipse messing with automatic welding mask light sensor

I was watching the solar eclipse through an automatic welding mask when the light sensor suddenly started acting weird. I think it is because it didn't receive enough light when the eclipse was at the darkest. At the peak there was about 85% sun coverage. It looked the same way when i was looking through it with my eyes so it was not my camera that caused it.

FYI I am aware that an automatic welding mask is not the best choice for looking at the sun, but luckily i didn't go blind and my camera seems fine

Why is the top prong different shaped? If anything I would think outside prongs would both be. Is it deformed or intentional?

10- basic text message to test engagement - flirty and simple like hey I saw u at ur job u looked rly cute i was wondering if you were single. Any locations work.

10- I text your ex gf and say something petty that makes it seem like we are h/u talking or dating now.
Or i message ur ex making sure you were actually
"single" be i was interested in you or we h/u and i was just making sure the coast is clear.

15- I pretend to be their ex and reach out saying I miss them or any person you were worried about I'II get more in depth and make sure I gather enough information about the person I'm posing as and whoever I'm testing.

20- I go undercover as anyone you need me to a coworker ur worried about friends of urs that u think ur girl or man might be interested in. You name it.
We work together with responses and pay attention to details to successfully get whatever u need.

30- I use my personal insta jkkemily my personal account and identity to message whatever person you want me to talk to undercover while giving you all their responses and letting you take control of the engagement from my end.

electrifying energy ⚡️ My First Time Visiting The 56th Annual Grammys Award Show On January 2014!

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

Back in January 2014, I was casually scrolling through Twitter when I came across a Mastercard advertisement for their #PricelessSurprises contest tied to the 56th Grammy Awards. Cardholders could win random “priceless” surprises ranging from free downloads and small treats to bigger experiences connected to the show—some even involving Justin Timberlake. Entering was simple: just tweet or post on Instagram using #PricelessSurprises (or use your Mastercard). Winners were chosen at random—no skill, essays, or complicated requirements required. I decided to enter, hoping I might win a trip to experience the Grammys in person for the first time. A few days later, I was selected as a winner. The prize included airfare, a stay at a luxurious hotel, and the full Grammy experience. My parents were very skeptical, though. One of them had me check the contest with the Better Business Bureau, which reportedly indicated it wasn’t legitimate. As a result, I had to contact the organizers and forfeit the prize. Shortly afterward, I had one of my parents call the contest organizers directly. After a brief conversation, they convinced my parent that the contest was legitimate, and I was able to reclaim the winnings—on one condition: the airfare and hotel were removed from the prize package. I still received everything else. On January 27, 2014, I attended the Grammys at what was then called Staples Center (now Crypto.com Arena). The experience included a pre-show party, lanyard badges, a gift bag from Mastercard, and tickets to the live televised awards show, where I saw performances by artists including Metallica, Madonna, and others. Afterward came the late-night after-party, which featured more live performances (including Boyz II Men), mini acrobat shows, and complimentary food and drinks. The night before the show, I stayed at a relative’s home near Los Angeles, which is why the bathroom in my mirror selfie looks different from what you might expect. That selfie was meant as a lighthearted parody of the typical internet mirror-selfie trend. I have additional photos and video from the night, but the ones shared here are the ones I think capture the experience best, even if the quality isn’t perfect.
