Adults: Behave!

Me: Seriously? As a child I saw Tarzan almost naked, Cinderella arrive home after midnight, Pinocchio told lies, Aladdin was a thief, Batman drove over 200 miles an hour, Snow White lived in a house with 7 men, Popeye smoked a pipe and had tattoos, Pac Man ran around to digital music while eating pills that enhanced his performance, and Shaggy and Scooby were mystery solving hippies that always had the munchies. The fault is not mine!

I caught this loop on E4 at a very silly time of the morning when I couldn't sleep, really liked it so thought I'd record it.
The universe works in mysterious ways. Uber eats driver delivered us the wrong order. It was meant to be Taco Bell, but he gave us someone's laxatives from Target instead. I mean, in the long run, it's kind of the same thing. Except I think there's more nutritional value with Taco Bell?

"My AI equipped washing machine is INCREDIBLE! I put the clothes in and they come out washed, dried, irons and folded."

- Um, the AI doesn't do that.

"Huh?"

- There's actually a spacetime portal inside your machine. You put the clothes in and the are sent off to a developing country where low paid workers do all those tasks.

"Oh. Is that why it requires a subscription?"

- And why your electricity bill is so high.

"And why I once got my neighbour's washing instead."

@jscholes oh my gosh, the NVDA-H keystroke is one I've been wanting for a while now, thanks so much for thinking of it. It's nice when needing to copy large amounts of speech history info to the clipboard and such.

#NVDA Speech History version 2025.1 has been released, to be compatible with NVDA 2025.1. Additionally:

* There is now a setting to control what happens after copying a speech history item: nothing, beep, speak, or both.
* The post-copy beep frequency and duration are now configurable.
* In NVDA 2025.1 and higher, speech history items can be viewed and copied in a browse mode window. The default keystroke for this function is NVDA+H.

I was sitting here eating lunch when I realized: cottage cheese is not actually, in reality, a cheese.

It's just a curd to me.

Me: What's the wifi password?. Bartender: You need to buy a drink first.. Me: Okay, I’ll have a coke.. Bartender: Is Pepsi okay?. Me: Sure. How much is that?. Bartender: $3. Me: There you go. So, what's the wifi password?. Bartender: You need to buy a drink first. * no spaces, all lowercase. #Funny #Puns

Only 17.5% of blind people have ever used a tactile map. Most sighted folks? Over 300 maps a year.

That’s not just a gap—it’s a chasm in spatial literacy. And it’s time we closed it.
