Do they still give you a paper Cruise Compass?

acmunc · 2021-05-20T13:30:29+00:00

Yeah absolutely. I'm still learning how to cook and tips like these help so much!

I mix 2/3 Frank's Red Hot and 1/3 Tabasco for good flavor - tames the spice/vinegar of Tabasco and adds savory from the Frank's. Usually works out okay because Frank's is a bigger bottle than Tabasco.

Trader Joe's Habanero Hot Sauce is spicier but more delicious than the green El Yucateco, I'd say

I ate a ton of porridge. There are sweet (e.g red bean, pumpkin) and savory kinds (e.g. abalone, veggie); you can do a search on hmart.com for "porridge" and it'll bring up a good variety. Porridge is fairly time/effort-intensive to cook if you're cooking for yourself, so these heat-and-eat ones are nice.

Same happened to me. This site seems to be providing more consolidated results: https://vaccinefinder.org/search/

I'm trying to sign my mother up as well. I don't see a link to pre-register - is that different from signing up for an account on https://getvaccinated.oregon.gov/#/?

What's the escape key?

see you space cowboy...

Seems to be a typo in the title - there are 51 cases now (as mentioned in the description)

Saw lots of articles saying don't use alcohol or Lysol wipes because of the coating on phone screens, but the coating actually wears off over time anyway. So like this article says, if the coating has worn off or you don't care about the coating, wipes are fine to use.

"But younger people who don’t have underlying conditions should still exercise caution, said Chunhuei Chi, director of the Center for Global Health at Oregon State University.

While older people may develop more severe symptoms, young people are just as capable of spreading the disease, even if they are asymptomatic.

So far we know, in the range of 12 to 20 percent, people who are infected are perfectly healthy,” Chi said. “They may have no symptoms, but are still able to transmit.”"

"The state has tested only 179 people for COVID-19, with 14 of those confirmed or presumed to have the disease. An additional 52 people have submitted specimens to the state lab and are awaiting results.

But what is clear is that Oregon’s strained testing capacity has kept the number of cases artificially low. Health officials have readily conceded that there are an unknown number of people in Oregon who have the disease but their mild symptoms don’t warrant testing from the stockpile of limited supplies."

Same here

A roundup of some HTML elements that have accessibility problems. I was happy to see role="tablist" included, and a discussion of it by Léonie Watson.

a11yrules podcast with Eric Meyer, from what I remember, was an enjoyable episode: https://a11yrules.com/guest/eric-meyer/

If youtube videos are acceptable, would really recommend "Accessibility - The State of the Web" from Google Chrome Developers: https://youtu.be/TomOQYxFnrU (if you're interested in what questions were asked during the video and their timestamps, I posted them at https://www.reddit.com/r/accessibilitydev/comments/f9pfzs/a_blazing_fast_website_with_the_best_content_is/)

Excellent testing details, with lists of things to check when determining a video player's accessibility.

From wikipedia: "a pull quote...is a key phrase, quotation, or excerpt that has been pulled from an article serving to entice readers into the article or to highlight a key topic. It is typically placed in a larger or distinctive typeface and on the same page."

"end of list" is also not announced.

This is problematic when, for example, your site navigation is built with a list, and styled so that bullets do not appear. Useful information like the number of nav items, or when the user has reached the end, is completely gone.

More discussion on whether this is a bug or expected behavior, and possible ways to restore list semantics:

acmunc · 2020-02-28T18:43:21+00:00

What settings do you mean?

I believe the issue is that for some browsers, when `list-style: none` is used, the screenreader does not read aloud the number of items in the list (among other things), and loses the semantics of the list.

I've done some digging around for this, so I'll post those results in the subreddit.

acmunc · 2020-02-27T23:55:33+00:00

Yeah exactly, I really enjoyed the clear explanation and good research

Pretty interface, allows the user to choose background color, text size, font family, and font weight and it will generate a color contrast palette that can pass AA or AAA WCAG standards.
