You don’t actually care about that.

Disabled people are not your fucking pawns

I didn't intend for it to sound like that, and reading my comment again I see that I should have expanded on it further. I'm hoping my posting history can show where I stand on issues like this.

What I should have said was that delivery services can be helpful for the elderly or those with disabilities, and that legislation on delivery services can help us improve access to those without the harms of these current robots.

For what it's worth, we don't have these robots where I am, so I didn't know how bad it was. In person, I've only seen a few that were sitting around our university plaza last fall. I looked online, and it looks like we don't currently have any here. I will keep what you've mentioned in mind when talking about these bots moving forward, especially if our local politicians are going to be deciding on them in the near future.

To expand on where my thinking was coming from, I have read first person accounts from people who can't leave their homes easily, and also how existing delivery programs are helpful but don't have the capacity to meet everyone that needs it: https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/british-columbia/seniors-grocery-app-delivery-anjel-vancouver-1.4938035

Often with these discussions, automation is brought up as a way to bridge the gaps that current public funding can't fulfill.

I also recently read about how some cities have a thriving bike/scooter sharing program, while others are suffering from mismanagement, excessive prices, and chaos; and how it came down to whether the programs were started as a public project or if they were led by tech companies. So in my earlier comment, I was tying information to this story and saying that regulated and/or publicly managed delivery options might be a better thing to focus energy on

These bots can be helpful for the elderly or those with disabilities. It's probably more effective to legislate them at the municipal level.

I was also hoping that the article would explain why. I was guessing that with certain chemicals, it might dilute it enough to become harmless.

But instead, the closest I found was this, which cited cost as the reason: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Submerged_munitions

I'd like to see a comparison of the long term economic costs of these accidents with just dealing with them early on. Or even entombing them the way we do nuclear waste.

I also found this article and map

Sorry about that, done!

I find it similar to Technology Connections, where even if I'm not interested in the topic before I watch the video, I still get something out of it afterwards :)

I think you are misunderstanding the goal of this. The article says that men "are less likely to ask doctors for help with a range of symptoms". Addressing this is a part of addressing toxic masculinity and historic inequities, and a part of the broader work of finding the appropriate healthcare intervention for each person instead of the traditional one size fits all approach.

I would rather that men go to doctors for health advice instead of trying to fix it on their own, or worse, going to online influencers for advice. Figuring out why that happens is a step towards changing it for the better. If this work actually produces results, it will be good for both men and women.

I've seen students/applicants there make the same joke 😄

The history

There should be a link, unless its not loading correctly for you?

Here if is

Check out the article in the post, it walks you through adding it :)

I had the same issue, I set it to 110% on my phone. It would be cool if someone put together a guide on common configurations to help it match other apps.

There is disagreement and outdated advice on what to do / not to do. First aid is time-sensitive so having a discussion about updated guidelines can be helpful :)

Would it be possible to slowly build a whitelist for users that you confirm are legitimate?

For context, I subscribe to web comics through RSS feeds, and sometimes I'll sit down to look through the feed and then schedule out posts for the few good ones. I can totally keep it to the 2 posts per day limit, but I'm worried that I might forget one day in the future. It's hard to keep track of community specific posting rules 😅

I totally understand if the extra posts get removed, this is more about not getting banned by an automated system.

Can you reach out to admins on any instance that the accounts are made on? Vote manipulation should be an easy instant ban. Putting together a list of accounts would help the instance admins figure out a pattern.

See the History section here for some controversies. From what I remember, there is disagreement on whether he asked for the name to be changed or if institutions changed it first

Definitely!

Olympic events seem to standardize the events as much as possible for easy and accurate judging. I'll have to check out some non-olympic competitions for this sport to see what they are like. Since yea, I also want to see people making those calls and finding interesting ways to get around obstacles in a forest or other complex setting.

That sounds rough for people who don't have a smartphone, if you forget it somewhere, if it's out of power, etc

IMO both should be in the games.

I didn't know as much about skimo before, but after watching an event I do see it as a serious sport. It might also be a thing for military/search and rescue type tasks, but I can't find a good source for that
