  • I'm a physical therapist. I started as a physical therapist assistant. Way back in PTA school, our instructors brought in three people with spinal cord injuries for us to learn from. They talked about their experiences, showed us how they transfer, and one showed us his modified pickup truck that had hand controls and a crane to put his wheelchair in the back.

    One of our classmates named Nancy had a habit of putting her foot in her mouth. She had absolutely zero filter. Our class guests were taking questions and one person asked about dating, in a respectful manner. Hearing about challenges related to normal stuff like that helps us to answer questions if we have a patient with a new spinal cord injury. One of the people said they had been with their gf for a few months and was talking about how they chose date activities and stuff. Pretty innocuous, nothing super personal.

    Nancy makes a joke along the lines of "I'm surprised anyone would want to date someone like you," kind of chuckling as she said it. The guest speakers seemed to take it in stride but man everyone in the class was looking around clearly horrified.

  • I use Duolingo for Spanish but also practice with Spanish speakers. I also click on the forum stuff for info on grammar, because I don't think the grammar really comes through in the app if you don't already know the gist of the rules. Or I look it up in a Spanish text.

    But the vocab practice i do find helpful.

  • There was a brief period of time when chrome launched it seemed faster to me. I also liked the way it had a clean ui compared to others at the time. Used it for years, and it just got worse and worse.

    I switched to Firefox a few years ago and it's much better imo. But I remember feeling like chrome was really good for a little while.

  • I had a surface in grad school and used one note. It was so clunky but I could edit things on my surface and then pull them up on my desktop for studying or writing papers. I wish there was a better option but it was the best I could find that was cloud based at the time.

    It's a crime how many features they gutted from 2016, but that one didn't work great on touch screen for me

  • I used to work for a company that HP contracted us as reps to stand around best buys and office depots and such and sell HP. I remember sometime after the 02 inks went away reliability really took a dump. But 02, while more reliable in my experience, took 5 different color cartridges. Pricey (though I'd get free ink sometimes from the job).

    Toward the end of my time there the printers were just hot garbage, and I went through two HP laptops in a short time (got a big discount on number 2).

    I won't buy HP anymore.
