I only had one encounter with Be My Eyes of someone trying to classify their comic book collection by the year printed on the cover which was too small for them to read. It was pretty neat and I was happy to help, but it took way longer than 5 minutes, haha. I think though that with computer vision, a lot of the requests aren't routed to volunteers anymore though.

I think that's just identical twins, but fraternal twins are two separate eggs being fertilized, which is how you can have twins of different sexes

Another Trumper full of regret.

"I liked his policies, mainly his support for education and affordable housing, said Shirley Wong, 70, of Bensonhurst, referring to Mamdani. "He seems to listen to us."

But less than a year ago, Wong cast her ballot for Trump. She cited the influx of migrants in her neighborhood, as well as the cost of living under President Joe Biden. But now, Wong said she regretted voting for Trump, citing the Big Beautiful Bill's projected cuts to Medicaid

TranscriptA post by Dr. Amy Psy.D. @dramypsyd@ohai.social saying: So I had to stop by Best Buy and the sales guy was going really hard trying to get me to sign up for the credit card. Like I said I didn’t want it and he was like “does YOUR card get you 15% off I don’t think so” and I was like buddy I know they make you push it but please stop and he was like actually they don’t, I just really like the Best Buy credit card. And then he wouldn’t tear my receipt off because he said the chemicals would take away his testosterone. Anyway this is why I shop online.

Found the post on the forums. The screenshot omits the comment from Craig who said "I ended up wiping windows and installing Ubuntu instead".

I found this reply helpful too, and so should you.

The congestion zone starts at 60th Street and heads south, so traveling from 61st - 79th street won't even encounter the congestion pricing. This guy is dumb on so many levels.

EDIT: I just looked it up on a map and 61st is a one way going west towards Central Park, so if you enter 61st from Madison Ave, you're forced to exit at 5th Ave and go south entering the zone, which I guess is this guy's problem?. I also looked up the guy and he's a CEO Real Estate developer, so he's living in a multi-million dollar place right next to Central Park and can't afford to pay $9 because his private parking spot in his building forces him to drive into the congestion pricing zone. Come on!

If you don't upgrade to Windows 11, you can't use Recall, which is a great reason not to upgrade to Windows 11.
