Yeah if you're exposed to cold weather then ski goggles tend to handle not fogging up with a scarf/mask better. You can get some pairs with clear, swapable lenses for biking at night.

I frequently wear safety glasses, you can get some that can be worn on top of a pair of glasses but still provided wrap around protection like:

Lmao yes technically correct. The grapes aren't doing anything new, they're acting as a microwave resonator which makes some very interesting plasma physics you can do with a grape in the microwave.
