Things to Do Before Asking “Is This Accessible?”

It is not uncommon for someone to message, call, email, or carrier pigeon me to ask if something is accessible. They almost invariably want a “yes” or “no.

All this 'unplug your equipment and wait 30 seconds before turning it back on again' is bollocks, modern equipment detects 'brown out' and shuts itself down safely in milliseconds. There's no need to wait but no one wants to say so 'just in case'.

#2972 - Helium Synthesis
A comic with four panels. First panel: Four people sitting at a table. One person says: "These helium shortages every few years are such a pain. Our company needs a reliable source of helium." Second panel: Another person asks, "Where does helium come from, anyway?" Yet another replies, "Hmm, apparently most of it is from 'Big Bang nucleosynthesis'?" The person from panel 1 says, "Well, let's figure out how to do that." Third panel (three smaller images): Image 1: Three stick figures next to a machine labeled "Big Bang Nucleosynthesis." One of them holds what looks like a remote control, or switch, attached to the machine. Image 2: An image of a cosmic explosion. Image 3: An image of galaxies and stars. Fourth panel: Labelled "14 Billion Years Later", otherwise same as the first panel. Hidden text: "Our lawyers were worried because it turns out the company inherits its debt from the parent universe, but luckily cosmic inflation reduced it to nearly zero."

Working in a care home I see many visitors turning up pretty much just to check how long their relative might have left to live so they can get the inheritance. They're absolutely fucking shit humans. So I've started educating the residents on donating to charity via their wills.
