Good point that it has a large spectrum and can be more near or far sighted too. Thanks for sharing that.
It is nice when focusing on including people that other visually impaired athletes and spectators of the sport who are more impaired be able to have a screen reader describe the picture.

I like the coffee shop idea! Not a big fan of the many types of sugar sold at an LRT station - maybe at that one some fruit and power bars, bottled water and 80% & 90% dark chocolate.

U.S. sub sinks Iranian warship off Sri Lanka, killing 87 and expanding war zone
A U.S. submarine sank an Iranian warship off the southern coast of Sri Lanka, killing dozens of sailors and dramatically widening Washington's pursuit of the Iranian navy.
A US submarine sinking a lonely, dinky Iranian surface ship an ocean away from the theater of the main conflictβand 9000
miles from North Americaβmakes it pretty clear the US is fighting a general war, without the declaration required by the Constitution. www.reuters.com/world/asia-p...

Idaho considers an 'apocalyptic' choice for disabled people and families
Difficult budget decisions in a number of states are threatening vital programs for disabled people at home and caregivers in the workforce.
Whenever there are healthcare cuts, disabled people suffer.
Itβs eugenics.
They see us as expendable.
Many think weβre βbetter off deadβ.
Itβs no surprise that when they need to save money, itβs taken from Disability services.
Home care saves lives. This is awful.

The U.S. accounts for 71% of our exports and their trade actions have made 2025 a difficult year.
But we're diversifying markets, we're investing billions in infrastructure, we have the most foreign investment in 18 years, and employment is growing. We'll win this trade war.

These slop accounts are garbage. City council did NOT extend transfer window. They asked admin to start work on it + report back in Apr for council to decide. Accounts like these scrape headlines, have 100,000+ followers & often get it wrong. Meanwhile legit news orgs are banned by Meta. π€¦π»ββοΈ #yyccc
