My Dad does this with adults running marathons; it’s way more involved than just running with someone; the visually impaired person sets the pace so you have to run a marathon while someone else decides how fast to run, while also trying to anticipate their stride a few seconds in advance so you can spot potential hazards then communicate them back to your partner who needs to have absolute trust in you that you are going to keep them from hurting themselves. You essentially end up being a rally car navigator for a person
Idk, if you want to test people on how they understand formulae and order of operations without letting them just punch it into a calculator. The actual math isn’t hard, but if you don’t get substituting values into an equation then it’s not trivial
Brandon O’Quinn Rasberry, 32, was shot in the head in 2022 while he slept at an RV park in Nixon, Texas, about 60 miles (97 kilometers) east of San Antonio, investigators said. He had just moved in a few days before....
Don’t know about US law, but where I live we have a “Preventative Detention Order” - the threshold for it is very high, but it essentially works as a sentence of “until rehabilitated”, you are incarcerated until the court decides that you are no longer a threat to the community, even in cases where a life without parole sentence wouldn’t be possible. In a world where I am supreme ruler, it’d automatically apply in cases where someone who has a conviction for a violent crime commits another violent crime.
Also, how the hell does an 8 year old get a gun? Surely whoever failed to secure it - or even worse gave it to a minor - would be looking at an accessory change?
If you keep following this logic, this ends up in a pretty shitty ableist place.
If the person does survive they are going to have a pretty serious disability for the rest of their life - that would suck, but saying that we should let them die cos they’d be better off dead than disabled really devalues people who live with disabilities that they ended up with through bad luck.
The APs reporting seems to indicate “probably not” - both Israel and Iran are refusing to comment or acknowledge the strike, which gives both sides a way to step back without having to lose face. If Iran or Israel were intending to escalate, they’d be shouting from the rooftops about “see! Look what happened!”.
Still pretty scary though, wouldn’t take much for a miscommunication or misunderstanding for this to rapidly escalate even if no one wants it to.
Who would win; tens of billions of dollars worth of US-built air defence systems, or whatever surplus scrap the Chinese or Russians have flogged to Iran recently
Does cloud providers share the IP addresses and the alloted users to these big corps and defect the whole purpose of a privacy frontend? Are there any service (FOSS) that could randomise my servers IP?...
Alphanumerical lists are sortable by alphabet and number, obviously, but if you have a list where each entry begins with a different punctuation mark (or any other kind of non-alphanumeric character), is there a similar standardised ordering method for them?...
As a software dev who has lost weeks of his life dealing with timezones, leap days, daylight savings time, date math and other associated nonsense I fully support this being the way the world is. I don’t want to go through the transition to get there though
The California Justice Department announced today that it has found no cause to file chargesagainst a Los Angeles police officer who, while aiming at a suspect, shot and killed a 14-year-old girl hiding in a department store fitting room....
The other officers had warned the officer who fired to slow down and de-escalate, but they were ignored
The other officers had non-lethal options, but the officer escalated and fired live rounds in a situation where they couldn’t know if they were putting bystanders in danger
Any asshole with a gun can shoot it. If you want courage, you want officers who are professionals, trained to de-escalate, contain and protect, not militant thugs who spray rounds at the spray rounds at the slightest provocation with no regard for bystanders
Tiktok has some super arbitrary automatic filters that look at description + ORC text in the video and will black hole anything that matches certain words.
Like anything, there ends up being folklore about what words trigger the filtering (cos there is no public list) so people end up censoring stuff that might actually be fine, but it’s hard to know for sure
My wife’s aunt is in the process of doing this at the moment. Seems to be systematically working her way through each branch of the family tree causing drama, slinging insults, trying to pit people against each other, and just generally being awful until people get fed up with her nonsense and disengage - at which point she’ll find some other branch to go all “woe is me/people are so mean/everyone is against me”, then rinse and repeat.
Depression, alcoholism and narcissism are pretty powerful, and anyone trying to help gets themselves a first class ticket on the drama llama express
Will need to watch it again to see if I missed anything in the background and quick cuts, and also because I missed a lot of the last few minutes with all the tears in my eyes
Because it’s less a show aimed at children, and more aimed at their parents - especially millennial parents of youngish children. It’s clever, it’s earnest, it’s trying to teach it’s underlying philosophy but not in the ham-fisted “what did we learn today kids” format that most kids TV takes. It’s full of in-jokes, references and callbacks that most kids aren’t going to pick up on, and does a fantastic job at characterisation for all it’s supporting characters.
See if you can find the episodes “stickbird” and “baby race” - if those don’t land, then the show probably isn’t for you.

I know a guy with what sounds like a similar condition - in his case most of the colour receptive cells in his retinas are fucked, it’s a genetic thing that ment they didn’t form correctly in the first place. Not really anything you can do surgically, it’s not like cataracts or stigmatism where the retina is ok but the light isn’t reaching it correctly.
He wears highly tinted sunglasses cos it turns out that those colour cells are also really heavily involved in adjusting your iris to ensure you get the right amount of light, so his eyes adjust to changes in brightness much slower than normal which can be physically painful if he (eg) turns on the lights in a dark room
