Luckily - for me - I'm simply immune to the fumes of onion... or hot pepper.. or horseradish...
I can dice/grind/chop them without any effect (while the rest of the family run to hide  )

Some years ago I discovered that wearing contact lenses (which I only do occasionally) prevents the onion from affecting my eyes.

I was thinking something along those lines. For me I probably need welder's glasses.

My wife once told me the chefs at a place she used to work at would stick out their tongues while slicing. If you wet your tongue and stick it out apparently the vapours cling to that instead of your eyes. It's not perfect but I've been doing it for years and it seems to work quite well though it does make the underside of your tongue taste like onions for a while.

On a serious note, chewing while cutting also prevents tears and is less water consuming.

Back in the 80s when I worked in fast food, we used that trick and would also cut the onions in the walk-in cooler.

I am trying ... just waded through episode #4. Maybe it's like realizing your best friend's kid ... who you really want to like ... is just a messy little, dull, brat ?
The young Rhaenyra, played woodenly by 22 year-old Milly Alcock, appears to have her face either maxed out on botox, or plumped with prostheses ? Alternative hypothesis: she has Down's Syndrome (I worked with disabled populations, including Down's Syndrome adults for several years).
While I find the character of Daemon interesting, for me, none of the other characters measure up to GOT original.
Well, I tried. Maybe with new eyes (surgery next week), it will look better ?
