My wife has quite narrow head and as a result she has to almost always choose frames for children. And those frame designs are.. Well, it's a bit funny my close to 40yo wife wears same style frames as kids in primary school.

Would anyone have tips to find an optician who would stock (or at least have ability to order) smaller size frames of adult designs?

Project Falcon is intended to lower the barrier to 3D creation through an easily accessible browser-based platform that requires no previous experience. The interface has been built to guide users through the whole workflow, making it efficient and intuitive and eliminating the need to know technical jargon.

Available as a technology preview, Project Falcon doesn't provide complete manual control like fully fledged 3D modelling software. Instead, the browser-based tool involves kitbashing, which entails assembling premade parts.

As someone with basically no CAD skills (if Tinkercad doesn't count) this could be handy for getting some proof of concepts done quickly. Can't wait to get back home to give this a try.

Today at Mongkok MTR station.

We were going up in "left lane" of double escalators when suddenly noticed on "right lane" baby trolley started to fall down. Mother-assumed tried to stop the momentum, only to start falling herself, and her friend-assumed tried to stop that, where unrelated party(-assumed) behind them got pushed back and fell backwards, rolling down in escalators.

Ok, so it's a horribly situation. What do people down do? Well of course get on the escalators, instead of for example pressing that big red stop button. Handful of people got on even I banged the middle with my fist shouting "push the button" (in english) and making pushing the button gesture with my finger; still nothing until my wife started to shout (in canto) RED! RED!

Goes without saying that those two women with trolley disappeared quickly from the scene. Woman who fell down did not lose her consciousness, and from what I could see from the top had no visible bleeding - those escalator steps are damn sharp.

So what boils my blood.

1 - large items in escalators. There is a reason why that's not allowed.... but it's never enforced.

2 - if you are the genius who still does that with a trolley, you keep YOUR CHILD in there?

3 - You come from MTR to escalators and hear people screaming and you see person falling down the escalators. Even you would not care a slightest bit of others, you don't have any self-preservation instinct to not actually step in there?

4 - Escaping from the scene. That's like hit and run. Lowest of the low scum.

For point 3, I understand it a bit more - I'm as glued to my phone doomscrolling as the next guy.

But none of these people was staring their phone. I still give them a benefit of doubt as when something sudden happens what you haven't ever practiced for, reaction time is pretty long. Also, where the heck are those stop buttons? In this case it was very visible but on many escalators I wouldn't have any idea where they are - likely somewhere low, out of sight.

But when you hear people screaming it very likely will increase your level of alertness, and you see someone ~6m ahead of you falling down on escalators... and you still get on them like nothing happened?

Just needed to vent out a bit. Thank you for reading and apologies for vulgarly expressing my frustration.

Oh and no, I did not stay checking if the woman who fell badly was OK and got the help she needed - my knowledge of BPDUs and shadow VLANs combined with my lack of linguistic skills would likely not had been much of a help, and there were multiple people already helping her.
