FYI - “dark side of the moon” refers to the far side of the moon (that never faces Earth). Dark here has the same meaning as in dark energy: “unknown.”
I have no answer to your actual question, but would also be interested.

24·6 天前I’m showing my lack of sophistication here, but what are the differences between the two outfits to the left?
3·7 天前I’m just learning about all this. Can you clarify what’s different about facilitated communication and what is described in the article? The article describes the technique as “supported typing,” which is a synonym for facilities communication according to a reference in the Wikipedia article.
The technique described in the article also seems to align with one of the descriptions of facilited communication included in the Wikipedia article:
In some cases, patients learn to give specific responses to cues from the facilitator, such as in cases where the facilitator only touches their shoulder or does not touch the patient at all.
That’s a bummer, but thanks for the insight. After reading the article, I was happy to hear someone with a disability was able to find a way to express themself. The article discusses the alleged author having given a TEDx talk and is writing an autobiography.
The original article brushes past the role of the facilitator in the process, which struck me as strange when I first read it. It makes much more sense after your context: they’re aware of the criticisms around supported typing and are minimizing them. From the article:
Another person touches my shoulder as I type. This touch helps me be aware of my body and helps me focus on communicating my message.
Giving the benefit of the doubt to the facilitator and anyone else involved in the care of the autistic individual, the likely reality is still very dark. The autistic person is being used to write articles and a book and brought onto stages to give talks, all using someone else’s words. I don’t presume to speak for the individual, but I wonder what they really feel or understand about the situation.
The only positive I see is that the autistic person is hopefully earning enough to pay for their living expenses and care, though I’m sure the facilitator also takes a cut.
Of course. I was trying to make something less useful than knowing the strides in a mile.
2·10 天前I always enjoy Mad Elf around Christmas. It’s a dark ale with Belgian yeast, cherries, and honey.
I’ve never tried to brew it, but there are plenty of clone recipes around to use as a starting point.
Thousandths of an inch are also used in some engineering applications and are called “mils.” Not to be confused with millimeters.
It’s not a good tip, but this is how I hear it:
1: One
San Fran: Seven
Cisc: Six
O: Oh
I just came up with it off the cuff, but I may use it going forward. I’ve never been able to remember feet or yards in a mile.
Also, we only measure length in bananas and fractions thereof.

You’re looking for c/foodporn. Easy mistake.😁
And to remember the number of yards in a mile: 1 San Francisco

Antenna Pod runs on Android. Not sure about on your Volvo specifically though.
2·17 天前Their post history is interesting - it’s like watching someone lose their mind.
An anti-vaxxer failed in “doing their own research”? I don’t believe it.
19·22 天前An excerpt from his resignation letter:
…I remain prayerfully confident that I will be exonerated of all accusations leveled against me.
“Prayerfully confident”? Really?
15·23 天前Per the response from Nothing quoted in the article, that’s what happened:
Akis mentions that companies have to submit demo units with placeholder content about four months before the phone’s launch so that they can be tested and “implemented” before mass production. Once the phone enters mass production, companies usually swap out placeholder content (including stock images) with proper product renders and actual photo samples.
24·24 天前If Books Could Kill podcast did an episode, if you’re interested:
2·28 天前She’s pretty crafty and good with spatial reasoning - it wouldn’t surprise me if she just picked it up.
Good on you - that sounds nearly impossible from my pert
Unilluminated? Night?
