My mom used to be awesome with our Windows 95 Packard Bell [...] Now she struggles and panics to do the most basic thing if it’s not 1-step on her iPhone.
Hey, pardon me if I'm overstepping, but I'm going through the evaluation process with my mom right now and this could be an early sign of dementia (one that we initially dismissed). It could be nothing, but it might be a good idea to get her checked out if you have any other reason to be concerned.
Individually, the average American generated 4.9 pounds of waste per day in 2018
4.9 lb/day x 4 people x 30 days = 588 lbs, so really not that far off.
Just wanna say I've had similar experiences. I don't think I'd put the number as high as 25% for myself, but my workplace's internal sites and some local/utility sites are also broken on non-Chromium browsers.
TIL it means "downhearted"? I always thought it looked like a pig, haha. https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/(%C2%B4%E3%83%BB%CF%89%E3%83%BB%60)
It doesn't work on everyone. These systems have trouble with certain eye shapes, eye makeup, etc.
There actually is a problem with the technology in this case. It sounds like what they're proposing is eye tracking, which is not reliable with some eye shapes, eye makeup, dry eye, etc. and any markers they use to try to detect drunkenness would also trip for people with legitimate eye problems. Anecdotally, I once drove a Tesla and it locked me out of cruise control because the tracker thought I was falling asleep. Imagine if the car refused to start at all!
And in Europe, the Spaniards, Italians, French, Russians and Swedes, are generally of what we call a swarthy Complexion; as are the Germans also, the Saxons only excepted, who with the English, make the principal Body of White People on the Face of the Earth.
Ha, I do miss the extra crotch room. Here's actually an interesting article about why women's pants have been getting even tighter in the crotch (spoiler alert - it's money):
I used to wear only men's pants, including cargo pants, and oh boy is it disgusting how much better I get treated by service workers, etc. since switching to vaguely fashionable women's pants. Fit issues aside, it's a lot more complicated than "just buy men's pants" (although I guess at least cargo pants for women are back "in" now?)
the waist thing is a non-issue
Depends on the shape of your hips. I wore men's pants almost exclusively until my hips changed a lot during pregnancy and I haven't been able to find a comfy pair of men's pants since (and I'm far from the only woman I know with this problem). Glad it works for you, though! The huge pockets are so nice and the fabric is usually sturdier, too.
