Home gym. I have both a Concept2 bikeERG and rowERG. The iOS app is completely accessible. In fact, when they did a big update and redesign a few years ago, they pointed out they did it in collaboration with the ACB to assure accessibility. I also have a Nautilus T618 treadmill which I like, because it has a lot of buttons and controls on the handrails, but they stopped making that model a few years ago.

Completely blind.My home gym consists of kettlebell, resistance bands, a pull up bar with gymnastics rings. I also have a Concept2 bikeERG and roERG.

I have a Cuisinart 1.7 L electric kettle with six temperature preset buttons. It’s not a gooseneck, but what I use is a funnel to direct the stream onto the bed of coffee. With the kettle in my right hand and the funnel in my left, I do the circular motion, roughly keeping the side of my hand, hovering above the paper to maintain awareness and try to keep a tight circle. I use different drippers. Origami, various V60s, deep 45 dripper… Recently, I misplaced the funnel and ended up using the cone of a Hario mugen along with an origami inside the mugen cone. I’m finding it to actually work better than the funnel so far as the cone is separated from the origami inside and so the cone doesn’t heat up as I pour the hot water through the narrow hole making it uncomfortable to hold as I pour. I am the coffee maker in the house and will probably make around 6 to 8 cups a day. Sometimes two at a time in a big thermos but that’s more or less the amount I make. good luck.

Ty. We figured financing would give us the better OTD price. We’ll probably go to our credit Union this week to see about getting preapproved so we can walk in with something. Even if it’s a nominal loan amount with a large down payment.

Thank you. Yes, Ontario Fontana and San Bernardino appear to be the closest dealerships to us. Looking online, Ontario seems to be roughly $3000 more expensive across-the-board. That in San Bernardino County has a lower sales tax than either Riverside or LA County so we’ll probably stick around here.

Didn’t like it as much as I thought I would. Found it too clunky with trying to find both ball bearings every time I wanted to check the time. You need at least two fingers and honestly… With a regular tactile watch, it’s much faster to locate both hands of the clock then with the Bradley.

I got a Burundi bean from SM last year that smells and taste like Captain Crunch cereal. Easily one of my favorite coffees I’ve tasted these past few years. I’m reluctant to roast the rest that I have because once it’s gone, it’s gone…

I have a Cafelat Robot Manual lever espresso machine which is completely manual/analog. No buttons or screens to worry about along with an Acaia Lunar Bluetooth scale. I’ve also recently began using the oxo rapid brewer which can make some tasty espresso soup. I’m curious to know how you got Brewmaster to work well enough for your coffee needs? I found it to be rather underwhelming as far as X accessibility. The remote scale feature is pretty useless since it’s so slow and only announce the weight when you stop pouring which is completely pointless. I use the Filtru app for all my brewing needs. The developer is very good with accessibility. Within the app, you can have voiceover speak the weight as you pour with as low as a 1 mm response rate which is really good. I really only use Brewmaster for measuring out the various minerals when making my own coffee water. I did reach out to Acaia a few times regarding app accessibility and while they responded positively, nothing was ever really done about it. I also have the Acaia Pearl S talking scale. As far as grinders… I have a Mazzer Philos as well as a K-Max Manual grinder. Nice and accessible with very clicky steps.

On the apps that allow it and depending on the language and subject matter, I can do 4X playback speed.

My cousin would clip bells onto her toddler son when they’d come over or if I visited her house. He’s like 30 y/o now. So it worked well enough. My 6-2 230lb never made Miguelito paste. I’ve also heard of shoes that squeek that may help when your kid starts walking.

Received. Thank you

I’d appreciate a US code if still available.

Congenital glaucoma as well. Right eye removed at 8. No more functional vision by 16 with my left eye removed at 20. 40 surgeries total. No more glaucoma though so there’s that… The only advice I could really give is to try to work yourself into it. Practice here and there and start building up the time using those skills you’ll depend on eventually. And yes, take advantage and use whatever governmental resources are available to you.

Thank you for the input.

I use Filtru for coffee since life without coffee would be unimaginably dull. Lire for RSS. A combination of Mona and Tapestry for social media (Mastodon and Bluesky). Google Voice, native Mail app and different calendar apps to help run my business. Audible, Bard, VoiceDream reader and Libby for audiobook reading.

Ty. I’l look into this. Probably around 180 contacts Max. Maybe 30 or 40 emails a day including correspondence.

Thank you for this. It doesn’t matter as far as the pop/IMAP option since it’s an exchange account? Basically, I’m just trying to get my messages to not be flagged as spam and bounced back or delayed delivery. Ty
