TIL that this wedding that I heard about quite a while ago hasn't actually happened yet. The context of the news story on it was how outrageously expensive it is.

That’s not how reasonable accommodation works under ADA. If you were applying for a job that required you to be in office they could just refuse to hire.

It's what it is, and I would have no choice but to keep looking. Fortunately companies and employers are not a monolith, and some are more reasonable than others regarding things like this and may not challenge it. Particularly if you have in-demand skills.

could utilize public transportation.

This would certainly be a viable in some parts of the U.S. Indeed, loss of vision would very likely push me to relocate to somewhere with better accessibility for non-drivers.

Despite my misgivings regarding their technological viability, this is one of many reasons why I am a big promoter of self-driving vehicles. But I still think working models available to consumers are a minimum decade or more off.

How accurate are Iranian missiles compared to Israeli jets? Is this an issue of limited accuracy or intentional targeting?

I'm presently willing to give more benefit of the doubt to Iran regarding missiles fired from hundreds (thousands?) of miles away than I am to Israel who has a very strong track record of intentionally targeting civilians in undeniable ways (e.g. snipers shooting children). Past behavior is a fair reason to be biased.

Only a monster wants to see civilian deaths. Realistically, I don't consider military deaths as "good" either; in modern combat it's more about military structures and equipment.

Police corruption and lack of accountability is a feature, not a bug, of the system.

I think this goes well beyond "reform" and more like "rebuild from scratch."

As much as I dig at Apple, this is a fair observation. However I will say that I have Android and have never actually used a 3rd party app store or felt the need to.

It's the "Apple Way"

Regardless, I would still stop driving and seek ADA accommodation with assistance from a medical professional. It should be noted that my driving skills are marginal (but passable) as it is.

Even if some can pull it off doesn't mean that I personally can. Some can run a mile under 6 minutes. I cannot.

Edit: Incidentally, I do not find it comforting that someone with significantly impaired vision would be allowed a CDL and able to drive a semi. But then given the standards for driving in the U.S., I suppose I shouldn't find it particularly surprising. We don't take automobile safety nearly as seriously as we should.

An alternative to anything related to Elon would be great.

I'm of the opinion that we (U.S. perspective) tend to overpunish fairly minor shit while simultaneously underpunishing more serious (e.g. violent) crimes.

I agree that, generally speaking, prison sentences should be shorter. Most crimes of the more minor variety.

Crime isn't supposed to pay. But apparently someone is profiting from it.

Truly depraved.

And Netanyahu gets on tv and has the chutzpah to whine like a sniveling crybaby when Iran hits back after this Pearl Harbor-esque sucker punch. It's truly sickening.
