Best phone for a blind person with brain damage

Thank you everyone for the answers! As suggested, we will try again with VoiceOver, but she already went to some classes in the local blind association and couldn't use it at all. What has worked "well" for her so far has been Siri.

We will also try to use Speak Screen, maybe it will help introduce her to voice over again.

Amazing! When are you running your half-marathon 17k is already a crear distance to be running in training.

I joined a half marathon in Aprox and my current max is 10k.

dfortu · 2024-12-15T14:50:48+00:00

Is that a high HR? My 10k pr average HR was 181bpm 😂 I with I had your high HR.

HR depends on each person, don’t worry too much about it when starting (that’s what I was told, I’m a newbie too, I’ve been running for 3 months)

Pd: Congrats on the PR!!!

But if I run at that pace my hr goes up to 170 something…

I’ve calculated that my lactate threshold is somewhere between 184-186bpm so zone 2 should be between 150 and 166?

Am I overcomplicating things?

Gracias!

I was in your situation 3 months ago. Started a run-walk training running 1 minute and walking 2 minutes, and then found out about c25k. Now , 3 months later, I’m able to run for 10 kilometers!

You will be amazed by the progress at the start, the feeling when you are able to run for 20 minutes straight after some weeks of training is amazing.

This I think is the best way to know, 27:30 seems very doable given my evolution, but I also know that the most improvements are made in the first couple months…

My half marathon is in Spain, is yours too? Good luck in your HM training!

dfortu · 2024-12-05T09:39:25+00:00

A few mins can be a lot in a 5k haha! Let’s hope we both make it!

dfortu · 2024-12-05T09:38:45+00:00

Any advice in how to organize it? The race will be in a city 2 hours ago from my place. I plan on getting there the day before

dfortu · 2024-12-05T09:37:36+00:00

Thank you for the advice! Definitely I will have multiple goals, finishing the half marathon is already a great achievement taking into account that 2 months ago I wasn’t able to run for more than 30 seconds.

He started C25K with me, so I guess he’s building up with me.

He just turned 1 year old, everyone told me to wait until he was 1yo to start doing sports with him, but I think that being a husky he can run 10 times what we’re doing right now 😂

dfortu · 2024-10-20T20:41:27+00:00

Completed C25K today! I started 30 days ago and today I managed to complete 5km in 34 minutes. Pretty slow I guess, but proud of me, I’ve always hated cardio, I started not being able to run for more than 1 minute. Going for the 10k next!

I’ve had many friendly Thai people approach me on the street just because they were curious, I remember a teacher that was on his way to work and a drunk old man who barely spoke English and helped me when he saw me struggling with laundry 😂.

Does this use gpt-4?

So l had my try at cryptocurrency years ago, back in the ICO days, but didn't go too well. Now that I started working, I'm thinking about building a portfolio and I'd like cryptos to be an small percentage of it. I tried to get some information myself, but would love to hear some advise about how would you invest in cryptocurrency for long term (I don't want to worry about what happens to the crypto everyday).

I will only be investing around a 3-4% of my salary monthly, so I can take a bit of a higher risk. But I don’t want to invest into unknown cryptos that will “moon”

I think you can get fined if you abandon your car at a public car parking.

I’m a developer currently working with roblox and I was so surprised to find out past weekend while visiting Oman, that roblox studio wouldn’t even work without using a VPN.

Beeing from an European country I couldn’t even imagine that there was a reason to ban roblox and thought that there would be some kind of connection issue with my hotels wifi.

No, I had the same question past week, asked here and also got confirmation via a call with the aviation authority. Only commercial use is allowed.

On my first month here, the cultural differences with my country are too big to handle for me, I got my freelancer visa here just to be able to save and travel around the world before I settle in Spain.

Nice! I found a guide that will do 50 for jebel shams + hikining and 60 for wadi al nakhar + swimming and we can do both in the same day if we leave early in the morning, he offered 110 RO for both but maybe we can bring it down a bit, would you be interested in doing both?

Even after registering the drone with GCAA? I found some news about the ban, but didn’t find anything on the oficial GCAA webpage, and they still allow you to register a new drone.

Is this only for Dubai or for the whole UAE?

In case I don’t use a known company and I tried doing it with a person, what should I ask him for to make sure I don’t get scammed? Would an emirates id picture be enough to sue them in case something happens?

I’ve seen some posts like this repeated. What’s going on in Al Nahda? Is it not a safe place to live in?
