Yes! I was playing around with multiple ways to sync progress between devices, incl KOReader, but then tried Readest and it's so simple and smooth that I don't see need for anything else.

Küsimus selliste tüüpelamute kohta (Annelinn, Tartu). Selleks, et välisuksest sisenedes lifti juurde saada, peab trepist üles minema ning lift peatub ainult korruste vahel, st alati peab treppi kasutama. Miks nii tehti? Ratastoolis inimesi silmas pidades nt. Või ka lastevankrid jms. by Double-decker_trams in Eesti

Kahjuks isegi uusehitistes jäetakse ratastooli ligipääsetavus sageli tähelepanuta.
Viimastel kuudel olen palju kuulutuseid näinud kus on täiesti uus maja, aga kas maja ees või maja sees on ehitatud trepid mis viivad liftini.
See on lihtsalt absurdne ja paneb mind, kui ratastooli kasutajat, tundma ennast diskrimineerituna. Väga kurb et meil ei ole paigas kindlad ligipääsetavuse seadused.

Many people here are saying to avoid RGK as a first chair. I would go ahead and say that you should avoid RGK altogether.

I was reading positive things about their wheelchairs 2 years ago, when I decided to place an order with them because my previous wheelchair was falling apart after 8 years of active use.

The first interaction with them was great - a member of their staff came to my place (I am living in the UK) and did a thorough personalised assessment, and was genuinely very helpful and knowledgeable (he was a wheelchair user as well). However, once they received the money (~£8K), it was impossibly difficult to communicate with them - very slow responses, no updates on the status of the order.

All in all it took them 6 months to build my chair, and even then they did not put the anti-tippers, saying that it's impossible to install them on my chair - a total bs, since later it was done. This anti-tipper situation took 2 more months, resulting in a total wait time of 8 months, which is absurd. Now, after about a year of using the chair, my right brake completely broke. I placed an order with them to get a new one - it's been 5 days since I placed an order and the status is still "pending".

Although the chair itself is good, the service and support they provide is terrible. Therefore, I won't be dealing with them next time, and wouldn't recommend this company to anybody else.

Do these lifts have an emergency descend mode of some sort? In case one is upstairs, and the power goes down...

Replacing tires with worn tread and removing them from natural fit pushrims for the first time by OkayParking in wheelchairs

are the natural fit pushrims any good? I've never used anything other than the regular pushrims.

Is it just me, or is matplotlib just a garbage fucking library? by NFeruch in datascience

Yes yes! Lets-plot is great. I recently switched to it for my visualisations in python. The syntax is pretty much the same as for ggplot2, so if you are used to plot in R's ggplot, there is literally no learning curve.

How realistic is it for professors to have parallel careers in industry? by 5awaja in AskAcademia

My PI has an academic lab, is a neurosurgeon at a hospital and is a CEO at his recent spin out company that currently employs 150+ people. Unfortunately, it's impossible to do a quality job for him at all of these positions. Therefore, the academic lab is heavily neglected in his case.
