After the standard deduction, that'd still put them in the 12% bracket, even if they're single. And that 12% is just the marginal rate, not the overall rate.
If single person made $60k in 2025, and only got the standard personal deduction ($15,750), that deduction drops their taxable income to $44,250. Of that:
The first $11,925 is taxed at 10%, so $1,192.
The rest ($32,325 = $44,250-$11,925) is taxed at 12%, so $3,879.
Their total income tax is thus $5,071 (=$1,192+$3,879).
$5,071 / $60,000 = 0.08452, meaning they'd pay an effective tax rate of 8.452%.
I see some others in the iOS app store that claim to detect nearby "smart" glasses via BLE. I have not tested any of them, so I have no opinion on their usefulness, reliability, privacy, etc:
I'd be tempted to modify my user environment as much as possible, so the ways I use it wouldn't be transferrable to anyone else's environment. I've already done this to some extent, with e.g. nonstandard command line aliases and highly-customized wrapper scripts around the tools I use a lot.
So according to that, the company's address (both physical and mailing) is 3739 E Sandstone Way, Washington, UT, 84780-1952.

...yeah, honestly that's about what I expected.
I've actually been really impressed by some of their recent videos. I especially liked the one on jet turbine blades (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QtxVdC7pBQM), and their explanation of how displacements propagate through crystals, and how the blades are made with variations in crystal structure that limit that propagation. Yeah, they're using clickbaity titles on it, but the content's solid.
Leading to my favorite conspiracy theory, that his shirt choice is really a subtle viral marketing campaign. I call this theory "Tom Scott is in the pocket of Big Red Shirt".

They're just following John Green's policy on electricians and witches: "If you don't know how to do something well, hire someone who does. My policy is that I don't change the wiring in my own house, and I don't hex my own enemies." (https://www.youtube.com/shorts/mxdwS3f209E)
When I realize the car or truck ahead of me is emitting something I don't want to breathe (either because I see it coming out the tailpipe, or because I start to smell it), I want to switch to recirculation RIGHT NOW, not after I navigate through a maze of menus that require me to take my attention away from driving.
Also, I want temperature regulation based on how hot or cold I feel, not what some thermometer says (and often have different opinions about where the air should be blowing depending on how I feel).

Looks like it happened in Chicago, last october. From what I can find, they dragged her off, shuffled her around for a few hours, then released her without charges. In December, she was one of the people that testified before congress about ICE's abuses.

This is "Serendipitious Green Meteor", taken by Prasenjeet Yadav in October, 2015. The town is Mettupalayam, in southern India. The meteor was captured entirely by accident; he'd set his camera to take 15-second exposures 10 seconds apart over the course of a night, and only afterwards discovered the meteor in one of them. The picture won an honorable mention in National Geographic's 2016 nature photographer of the year contest.
