I put the Roomba down in the middle of the floor and started it. It jiggled about feebly, wouldn’t power up completely, moved back and forth in a disconsolate way never making much progress, then stopped in dejection with an error noise. Finally I realized I’d forgotten to turn on the light for it and it’s evening. Poor dear. Imagine if someone made a comic with a Roomba that had a little white cane swinging out in front of itself? #BlindProblems
Ok, so I did not become so bad at cooking. It's just because tactile marks fall down from the induction cooker. #BlindProblems
I wanted to check out the show “The Walking Dead”. For some inexplicable reason, only seasons 1 and 11 have been described. Why Describe the first and the 11th seasons but nothing in between? #blindproblems #blindpeopleproblems #theWalkingDead
Anyone have the Anker Soundcore K20I airpod style buds? The starting directions say:
1. "Peel off the protective film on the earbuds."
Does each bud have some kind of film/tape on them? I see nothing like that holding them together in the case, they are each in their own magnetic compartment. I see something near the stems that could possibly come off and the speaker holes on the front of the buds appear to be covered but I'm honestly not sure. Won't get a sighted person until tomorrow so these are a brick for now. #BlindProblems
I am the worst cook ever. I decided to make myself some lamb tonight. I wasn't really paying attention when I unwrapped it, and I assumed it was one big piece. I put it in a pot and sautéed one piece perfectly! But turns out it was two pieces just kind of stuck together a bit; I burnt the hell out of one side of the other piece. Not knowing it was there, I just never really flipped it over. Gonna eat it anyway, of course #blind #BlindProblems
I'm finding more music videos where I wish I could get a description of what's going on. Argh. #Blindproblems
God dam it I can sell my current wind controller for quite a good price but I don't have anyone to help me get good pictures! My wife is blind, my mother in law can't really take good photos, so I am utterly screwed! #BlindProblems
Especially on Sundays my timeline is rich with images, richly described by good folk who write great alt text. Before alt text I couldn't have imagined this, but it seems I have a threshold, after which my brain is too tired to properly parse even the best alt text. I guess people who experience the world visually can also be tired out by looking at a lot of images, no matter how striking? #BlindProblems #fantasticBlindProblems
Eewwwww, why do I have to find cat puke the hard way? #BlindProblems
In other news, I have misplaced my Meta glasses. Grr! #BlindProblems
