US is actively seeking new pedestrian safety rules to address vehicle bloat, increased pedestrian fatalities and injuries.

I also had my debit card skimmed. Contacted the bank the same day but funds were locked. So, I ended up just using my credit card for purchases in the long run until the dispute was resolved. FWIW I am hyper vigilant looking for card skimmers at gas stations, etc. but somehow I still was targeted.

Interesting article - I have serious doubts about many people in my personal life's ability to discern between real or generated information online. From a cursory glance it's almost impossible to tell and someone would need not only a critical mind but also the investigatory skills to figure out the truth.

Outside of this community I don't feel those are all too common attributes.

Yes - I do use it for watching films that I want to be more engaged in, usually films through Criterion. I find myself spending more time outdoors now that it's summer but during the winter I'm on it much more. I love the environments and do wish there were more to choose from, plus environments on more streaming platforms. The Disney+ ones are very well made.

This is why I place airtags in my luggage now. Just in case.

I have to second this, I've never had an issue with Car Thing's voice recognition. As you'd mentioned, even in a windy or loud car and with tough to pronounce names, it's always understood what I was asking - or opening the correct playlists from my library.

I haven't found a similar replacement for that.

I do not use it for work; I've considered taking it on a few upcoming flights but honestly considering taking my iPad instead due to the sheer size of the Vision Pro.

I absolutely love it for home cinema though, great surround sound and the 3D movies are a cool benefit. I do have to mention, it would benefit me if the weight were lowered a bit. Also, unless you have it frequently plugged in or are swapping out batteries, you may have to spend a large amount of time charging your Vision Pro.

The purpose of a system is what it does. :(

Great news, friend is currently dealing with asbestos remediation headaches. Can't imagine having to deal with someone so dangerous every day.

I believe there are some use cases for this technology that are beneficial. For access, I think there is great value in spatial computing technology and AI for automatic translation and transcription. I'm autistic and where I've found so much benefit from noise cancelling headphones I think (at a future state) a light, unobtrusive device that could allow me to filter an otherwise sensory stimulating environment into one more tolerable AND allow me to work at the same time sounds like an ideal environment.

I currently own an Apple Vision Pro and I can see its limitations but I don't think it's an altogether negative direction to focus attention either.

I'm autistic and this sounds very familiar in regard to my issues with executive function. Most of my friends who are also autistic have thrived in fully remote positions or where they work for themselves or with a small group of others.

I think coldtea's example of partnering with someone else to handle the soft skills and marketing is a great idea.

This is one huge benefit for me in subscribing to Criterion. There is much, much more behind the scenes content, commentary and extras. I'd really enjoy watching critics or directors discuss their favorite films. Shudder is the only other service that I've see that includes this.

Thank you for the explanation of your experiences, I appreciate your input! I definitely understand how your friends and family could have responded. It's good that you tried to inform them of their own misconceptions and opinions.

Of my own friends who are diagnosed, they have time and again pushed for me to also get a diagnosis but I'd heard it can be a quite expensive and drawn-out process (as you've stated). Can you elaborate on about how long or thorough this is? Every article I've seen doesn't really seem to go into any detail on this point.

Did you search out a professional explicitly for the purpose of being diagnosed? I hope I am not being too forward, I also would like to go through this process but I'm not quite sure where to begin. The friends of mine who are on the spectrum have been diagnosed when they were children and I assume or have read a diagnosis as an adult can be more difficult. I'm 32 so not too far off from the age you were diagnosed.

Thanks for any help you can provide and thanks again for participating in the conversation, it was great reading your response.

I'm assuming this (the AGM-114R9X) is what the user was referring to: https://www.bellingcat.com/resources/how-tos/2021/08/26/the-...

I've found myself browsing the current events page every morning and I think I would prefer your method much more. As emerging stories are verified and context is added, I've found I'm revisiting the same pages over and over.

I'm going to set up a calendar event right now. Thanks!

Absolutely love this site for forecasting weather events in my area. Not sure what I would do without it at this point.

This just happened with me, applied for a few internal positions I was told I was qualified for, then later found out they had changed their minds. No other opportunity for growth internally otherwise, so my only option is to look outside of the company.

You may be able to find more information on the National Forest Service Library - https://www.fs.fed.us/library/.

You're right though, I've found searching for these lists to be very time consuming and the databases do not tend to be very user friendly.

Have you used GaiaGPS at all? I use it along with ridewithgps for looking at trail conditions and mapping points of interest on my rides and hikes. You can import your own custom map layers as well.

The developers are fairly consistently adding new content as well, might not hurt to reach out.
