I am thankful everyday that the governor of Kansas is a Democrat as well because it means we likely aren’t participating.

Kansas historically was a free state, part of the union. People, that live here specifically, seem to forget that.

I just sent a message to the governor declaring my support in not sending any troops to Texas.

People who get pit bulls as “family dogs” have the same issue.

I’d be suspicious that any lab that may have killed or severely injured someone isn’t a “lab mix” like the shelters push out.

Tbf, sometimes the measurements are iffy. I bought a 55 inch TV that fits comfortably on my TV table. The TV had some issues so I went through a return with the manufacturer and they didn’t have my specific TV in my size so they offered a 65 inch. I asked them if the measurements for the stand were the same and they read off the same distance as the 55 inch. I thought great! It will fit.

TV arrives and the stand legs were just an inch short on either side of the table, definitely not the same! But it still fit. I ended up securing the TV with those child straps just in case and plan to replace the table eventually.

Can’t wall mount at the moment because of spacing issues but eventually will.

I had a similar issue with a monitor, the stand leg distance was listed but not the fact that it’s width is half my desk. It doesn’t help that some stores and manufacturers don’t have a standardized list either.

I upgraded to windows 11 at the urging of security updates and such.

They really took away a bunch of features that make it difficult, for me as someone with a disability, to use the computer comfortably. I have made complaints about the problem and have basically received only “thank you for your feedback”.

I have a loss of mobility in my hands and wrists as well as arthritis, so sometimes I have difficulty using the mouse and clicking around on the screen.

They the slide bars on the side of the file explorer and the web browsers (at least what I’ve noticed so far) so tiny and hard to click for me since I don’t have as much as accuracy as normal users. I have to very carefully focus and make sure I click properly or I can’t slide the bar. I attempted to resize this through some settings but it ends up making the web browser slide bars too big and barely makes a difference for the file explorer.

Then in addition to that, the design of the task bar at the bottom where it’s centered in the screen is extremely frustrating for me to use. I am constantly misclicking items there as it was and then they added a bunch that I didn’t want. I spent probably an hour resizing it and removing unnecessary items there.

And while it doesn’t relate to my disability, I didn’t like the little dots they used to indicate an open program, I preferred the outline. Which you can change but it wasn’t very intuitive, I had to figure it out through googling!

I tried a vr headset at a convention where they had it just giving you a virtual tour of a farm to show off what the headset could do.

I had to take it off in less than 30 seconds because it was giving me a migraine and making me feel sick.

The problem is in a car, your body is actually moving and your sense of movement aligns with what your eyes are seeing. I’m not an expert but there’s something about fluid in your ears moving?

When it comes to gaming on a flat screen, your eyes are interpreting movement but you are not moving. This, from my understanding is what causes the motion sickness.

I can’t use these VR headsets because they make me sick and give me migraines. I’m just fine playing on a TV or monitor though.
