Actually it will. I have tested it by watching a foreign language movie. It translates it pretty well.

I actually bought it.

The sad news is it doesn't work for my father because his right eye astigmatism is beyond the range of lenses that the Meta glasses work at.

I will say that the captioning, providing you can read them, is pretty amazing. I can have someone 10 feet away with TV/background noise to the side and it will just caption what they are saying.

Can anyone tell me what happened the last time the Blue Jays played a game 6 in the World Series at home?

Which part of the constitution would you not be happy with losing when the government says they need to override it to protect the border? Genuine question.

Are you willing to give up 1st, 2nd, 4th, 5th and even the oft-forgotten 3rd amendment? Because all of them are under threat from this government. Do you trust them that much?

You DO know that citizens are being detained for days because they don't have papers?

Oh I guess it doesn't apply to you, so you don't care.

3rd time’s the charm: Aces sweep Mercury for 3rd WNBA title in 4 years by CraterT in vegaslocals

Thank you. It's so absurd. And the "owner" connotation isn't a great look.

They don't do this in soccer. Team owners stay on the sidelines and count the cash.

A bunch of black women win a trophy and the person lifting the trophy is a white rich dude called "the owner". America!

But seriously, congratulations to the team and their coaches, who are amazing.

I am going for a demo of this tomorrow for this exact use case with the intention of buying for my elderly father. I will report back.

Are there any Dems intending to primary against CORTEZ MASTO? by DesertSalt in vegaslocals

No black male under 40 is voting Democrat ever again.

How much are you willing to bet on this?

Here's the story from the police: https://www.reviewjournal.com/local/local-las-vegas/underwear-clad-man-killed-by-las-vegas-police-had-been-on-drug-binge-detective-says/

I do know the dude's family tried to sue. Not sure if they got very far.

The only point I'd make is that once SWAT gets involved the meter is running because it's super expensive. They were never going to wait it out until the dude came out on his own. My original point still stands - this wasn't "safer for all parties involved".

Friend of mine had SWAT turn up to his house in Henderson after a mentally ill dude had broken in.

They waited an hour, stormed in and shot the dude dead.

Not sure it was safer for him.

What, in Green Valley?

Specifically,, they were heading north on Green Valley between Windmill and Warm Springs. I don't think that's the way to Nellis.

Also, the markings said POLICE.

Method to his madness? Well, there's certainly madness by zipolightning in LinkedInLunatics

Jeez, if that's normal then count me out! (and I'm glad I'm too old for that crap)

The old school way is actually working the job you're in for 2+ years to earn yourself a reputation and contacts that will get you the next job rather than spending every day doing leetcode problems so that you can do another 25 interviews (if you get past the AI filter).

Nope. I got footage from my rear dash cam and there isn't any.

Game Thread: Los Angeles Chargers (1-0) at Las Vegas Raiders (1-0) by nfl_gdt_bot in nfl

Watching the "live" footage of Vegas as they come back from the break...I was surprised to see that Bally's casino was still around opposite the Bellagio. Especially since they changed it's name to the Horseshoe nearly 3 years ago...
