Měli jsme koláčky.
Manželka snědla jeden a pět jich nechala v krabičce, s tím že ji moc nechutnají. Tak jsem je sežral.
Po půlhodině manželka jódluje, že jsem snad nesnědl všechny, že to měla na snídani. Tak jsem se omluvil a ona říká , že ji teda musím ukojit chleba.
- Říkám, neřekla jsi kouzelné slovíčko.
- Kurva tak ukrojíš mi ten chleba když jsi mi sežral koláčky?
- To nebylo to slovíčko!

Ich nutze euren Kalender, um zu dokumentieren, wann ich mein Akutmedikament nehmen muss und was da gewesen ist. Wenn ich das dann meiner Ärztin zeige, möchte ich aber natürlich nicht, dass sie meine sonstigen Termine sieht! Da wäre es wichtig, die Ansicht filtern zu können!
Kalender können sehr viel mehr sein, als nur Terminplaner für Geschäftsleute!
Broaden your mind!
Das war wirklich nicht eindeutig, bzw. für mich nicht intuitiv. Deshalb bin ich auch nicht auf diese Idee gekommen. Im Dreipunktemenü rechts habe ich geschaut. Da habe ich die Funktion erwartet.

Creating a Music Video as a totally blind producer
I have always been totally blind, but Visuals, have always interested me. I signed up for a class at work a month ago to better understand visual graphs and charts from an annalyst prospective, as …Drews Sound
I do mine in an A4 ring-binder. The right-hand page is the search and the left-hand page lists the words. So effectively it's double-sided Braille with the words to find listed on the back of the previous search sheet.
I haven't tried making it smaller yet. I like A5 for carrying about so I might have a go at making a travel pack for my next vacation.
This is the line I see over and over again:
“While technology offers promising alternatives, it's essential to recognize the unique benefits that guide dogs provide beyond navigation, such as companionship and emotional support.”
If this is true, if these benefits are so unique, why do only 2% of blind and visually impaired people in the UK currently use a guide dog?

Fascinating discussion, as always.
I was a guide dog user for a decade or so. he was useful when my daughter was young. At first I carried her around because she was too young to walk, then too small to walk far. So in that regard, he took my concentration off the route somewhat and let me chat to her and be more of a passive part of the navigation process.
I learned to use a white cane and am incredibly confident, but the tactile awareness of your surroundings are far more limited with a cane, of course. I certainly feel that walking around in any sort of busier environment with my daughter aboard was easier, less stressful and more natural with the dog to keep us on the path and stop for problems.
After his death, naturally the number 1 question was whether I'd be getting another one.
We now live in a small village. there's a church and a post office, a social club and a few public houses. the nearest city or town is 10 to 12 minutes away by car or a little longer by bus. Getting to and from any of these local things is more than doable with a cane, and even if I were in the office more than a few times a month, it seemed to me that having a dog just to get me there and back was counterproductive. he'd have about 20 minutes of work a day. The free running, grooming, finding him a sitter for any holidays and general maintenance required for that level of practical intervention wasn't worth it, in my judgment. Sure, he'd been a part of the family for a long time and we would never have gotten rid of him, but to establish a whole new dog in very different circumstances wasn't part of the agenda. First and foremost to me a guide dog is a navigational aid, and you only get that in the right situation. For me, that's not here and now.

Por cosas que he leído por aquí.
Primeramente recordar que la comunicación se realiza a través de herramientas convencionales. No existe una forma objetiva de comunicarse, pero tampoco cada cual puede inventarse la suya, porque está forma debe ser compartida, por lo menos entre el emisor y el receptor, y habitualmente compartida por una comunidad extensa. La convención en la comunicación exige que la forma de hacerla sea conocida y aceptada por la comunidad. En resumen, nadie individual, ni un grupo, por grande que sea, puede *exigir* una modificación de esa forma de transmisión. Y menos para adecuarla a su ideología.
La ideología política, que es también ideología social en tanto que la política es la forma en que regulamos las relaciones de los individuos en una sociedad, tampoco es objetiva. Dentro de unos ciertos límites que marca la propia función de la política: procurar una convivencia social estable (no he dicho justa, sino estable), no existe una política objetiva ni subjetiva. Como con la comunicación, nadie puede imponer individualmente a los demás su ideología (necesitará al menos de votantes o de militares que compartan su ideología), pero tampoco existe una forma objetiva determinable por métodos científicos de determinar una "ideología cierta".
Dónde quiero llegar? Pues a algo que ya he dicho muchas veces, que los humanos tenemos demasiada tirada a exigir que los demás hagan las cosas a nuestro modo, porque siempre estamos convencidos de que nuestra ideología no es como la de los demás, sino que la nuestra es la correcta o la mejor. Y señores, hay una palabra para cuando alguien intenta imponer su ideología a los demás, y está palabra es "totalitarismo" y esto vale para los que quieren obligar a los demás a cambiar en cualquier aspecto que no sea objetivo.
Por indagar un poco:
1. Que se entiende por exigir? Cual es la diferencia con persuadir?
2. Por qué "menos para adecuarla a su ideología"? Por qué la consideración ideológica es merecedora de menor respeto que cualquier otra, por ejemplo, estética?
3. Que significa imponer? Como se distingue de persuadir, convencer, impulsar?
4. Cual es el riesgo de esos mecanismos de "imposición"? En que medida se puede o debe equiparar la actuación política en si misma que requiere de la coordinación y el establecimiento de pautas de comportamiento con el totalitarismo? Es toda acción colectiva totalitaria, y si no, por qué se trae la palabra a colación?

Aaaanyways: jak správně čistit dětem zuby víme? Do kolika? A čím? A proč jsou mléčné zuby důležité? A proč NENÍ Okay nechávat v puse zub s kazem? Plak detektory znáte?
Nebo stále převládá mantra "staré školy", že jsou to zuby na zkoušku a vrtat netřeba?
Popravdě v případě dětí mě ta pro zubaře (i rodiče) pohodlná dogmata, která pak rozdělují "starou" a "novou" školu, deptaji ještě víc.
Žádný problém vztahující se ke zdraví nikdy nevidím jednoduše...
