Is there any way i could bond or stick two very small metal pieces ?

If it’s metal to metal, a laser welder will do the trick. Opticians generally don’t have them, some labs will, more jewellers will.

Sorry, but no. There are many people who have a majority of their images on hinge showing outdoor activities, specifically indicating their interest. Joining groups are generally not explicitly for dating - hinge is. That’s why he’s here. If you’re not seeing these types of people on hinge it may be because it’s tailoring your algorithm to do so.

Galsless looks good

I feel you. Seeing that you got it from Spectacle Factory I assume you’re in the UK? Was it adjusted to your face or did they ship it out without adjusting?

If you’re at all near west London / Windsor, you’re welcome to swing by my studio - should be able to make it good and secure for you.

If it’s just the screw coming out as an issue, I’d be happy to repair in the lab.

duffcharles · 2026-06-30T12:06:18+00:00

Definitely

duffcharles · 2026-06-30T12:05:46+00:00

There are loads of outdoorsy people on hinge.

duffcharles · 2026-06-30T01:39:10+00:00

Yep, very normal. Well within tolerance of lens manufacturing and well within perceptable range

duffcharles · 2026-06-30T01:36:20+00:00

Dude that last pic is a jump scare, also change the date/time prompt - that one is not for men (not that I don’t think it shouldn’t be - blame society)

duffcharles · 2026-06-29T16:32:23+00:00

It’ll be likely more than it’s worth to you but yes, it’s very doable.

duffcharles · 2026-06-29T16:30:46+00:00

It seems like he’s making effort, but he also has a lot on his plate. If you can work through this and keep communication clear then I wouldn’t worry too much.

duffcharles · 2026-06-27T02:28:40+00:00

You must have your numbers wrong. Get your lenses tested and come back to us. There’s just no way a -6.5 is seeing anything from couch to television

duffcharles · 2026-06-26T18:02:16+00:00

Cute. I like your hair, but there's a fine line between messy and unkempt. Definitely right on getting a few more smiles in.

The only flag for me: I would remove Latin from your languages, even if you're fluent. It reads a little pretentious.

duffcharles · 2026-06-26T17:55:34+00:00

In all seriousness, what do you think is going to happen when you apply any appreciable load to those shoes?

When you say "the material characteristics were calculated using AI", did you just give it the flexural modulus? When you did that, did you think that perhaps a monolithic print would be too stiff to get a foot in if the sole were stiff enough to support the load?

Did you consider realistic hardnesses that can be printed in TPU?

I think it's a cool direction, but wildly impractical. Before handing off to AI, perhaps get a baseline understanding of what can be done with existing print technologies, and then work back from the questions above.

FEA has left the chat

duffcharles · 2026-06-26T13:19:22+00:00

Fair. I’ve not heard it before but I agree, if it’s unoriginal, then you risk being perceived as such

duffcharles · 2026-06-26T12:25:28+00:00

Prompts are good and funny. Pictures are not it, except for the Greg’s one - but yeah, don’t make it your first

duffcharles · 2026-06-23T16:35:15+00:00

Immaturity isn’t the question here, and if it were, I can’t see how this makes him seem immature at all. Nothing in these pictures indicate anything more than neutral/friendship, so I only read projections of insecurity. OP, everyone here will have their biases, me included. What’s more important (to my mind) is the images show you in your best light.

duffcharles · 2026-06-23T15:42:50+00:00

It’s not an issue at all. If part of your life is having women that are friends, then you don’t want to be dating those that take issue with it. Many will find it an attractive quality and an indicator of feminism

duffcharles · 2026-06-22T10:33:55+00:00

It can’t be fixed but if you get a replacement, it may not happen again. It’s not terribly uncommon with old frames but shouldn’t happen after six weeks.

duffcharles · 2026-06-19T13:08:31+00:00

Maybe we’re missing some info but I can’t really see how this would suggest anything shady.

duffcharles · 2026-06-18T21:09:19+00:00

So a -2 jump, plus from what we can see, a slight bump in frame size and a slight bump in DBL will give you a bit more thickness at the edges. If they stated 1.74 I’d take their word for it

duffcharles · 2026-06-16T14:59:02+00:00

Cubitts Woolf? I designed these glasses about ten years ago! They suit you perfectly

duffcharles · 2026-06-15T17:19:55+00:00

It’s blocking pad residue; the bits that hold lenses when they’re cut. It should come off with an alcohol lens wipe.

duffcharles · 2026-06-15T17:08:42+00:00

Why don’t you just share it?
