[TheForge] soldering v brazing v welding (fyi)

[Jerry Frost]

I didn't say anything about your looks, I've never seen you. I just said I 
wasn't bummed to be me instead of you. I don't have to live in the lower 48.

While polycarbonate lenses are scratch resistant glass lenses are a lot more 
so. My polys last a year if I'm careful before they're scratched enough to 
be a problem.
