First, quick disclaimer. If the photos are blurry/ sideways, or somehow just pics my ceiling (again!) then I apologize in advance. I am blind and doing my best here.

The situation is that one of my party guests somehow left this cut of meat behind. There is no label or anything, it was wrapped in plain butcher paper. I don't WHO left it and so after trying to find out who it was for 2 weeks, this thing is MINE. I have asked on Be My Eyes, it's an app where you can ask sighted people to help you with things but I got and got 4 completely different answers so I dont know what to believe. I added a cube of butter in the picture for scale, assuming that actually made it into the shot.

Before I get eviscerated, I'm blind so I can't tell if this has been done before and can't really find anything about it so I'm asking here.

I have front row tickets to an upcoming show. We are not front and center, but front and over to the side a bit but I am estimated that it would only be about 8-10 steps to get front and center. [I think of indoor navigation in "steps"]. I am taking my young teenager who is also a big fan. As a blind person I don't usually waste money on front row tickets, but my daughter is sighted. She is also a performer (not a singer) who really loves getting flowers after a show and has been talking non stop about giving Paul flowers after the sho

Hello learned travellers! I am a completely blind mom and I would appreciate a little extra help to get me started as I'm a little lost and way out of my element. If I am not using the right language, please forgive me.

My daughter is 11 and is completely obsessed with astronomy and has been ever since we went to a planetarium when she was 4 years old. She eats and breathes it. She has been talking about the 2027 Eclipse in Egypt for a couple of years now. I saved up and to that end, I have purchased us a secure tour with a very reputable org to see the great eclipse in 2027 in Luxor, Egypt. Well, she will see the Eclipse, I will bask in the glory of her excitement and feel like a

r/MakeupAddiction•

Hello! I am blind, my daughter is sighted. I do not wear any makeup, I just wash and moisturize and I have no idea where to even start. My daughter turned 11 in December and has asked me to get a makeup set for her. Girls in her class are starting to experiment with makeup, apparently.

I'm not opposed to this, is very natural for young girls to want to experiment in this way, but I have ZERO frame of reference!

I told her I agree to buying her some makeup to start off with, but first she has to show me that she will wear an spf+moisturizer every morning + wash her face every morning night. If she can show me she can make this a habit, I will get her the makeup set. Does that seem r

I’m a 56 year old white woman and look every bit my age.. oh, and I love Kendrick Lamar. I think he’s a genius! His lyricism, storytelling, and cultural commentary totally blow me away. I'm going to be straight with you and tell you that I never even HEARD of Kendrick Lamar until I heard him on the Grammys for To Pimp a Butterfly. [I am blind so I only hear him, I do not see him.]. But I was immediately intrigued. It's not even my regular genre, but something struck a chord and I've been a fan ever since.

I don’t always catch every reference, heck I don't catch 99% of them, lol, but diving into his work (via listening to lyric breakdown videos or podcasts or looking on the genius webs

I recently posted asking for movie suggestions and the Reddit community really came through for me. Is there a way to extract the movie titles from all the comments in one cohesive text document? Like.. a script? Reddit tool? Something else?

In case it matters, I use RES to keep it in an older version of reddit because my assistive read-aloud app for the blind likes it better. I can do it manually but it would be time consuming.

Thank you.

EDIT: THANK YOU EVERYONE - I am so grateful for each and every suggestion. You are amazing. Does anyone know if there is there an automatic way I can get a listing of all of these in one place without going through the comments one by one? It's time consuming with an assistive read-aloud device. Maybe there is a bot or script or something like that? A reddit tool?

I am legally blind and a single mother and while many, many blind people enjoy movies very much, it's never been my medium. There is no father is the picture, he passed away, so I'm doing this on

r/excel•

Please be kind. I know this is likely a very easy question but I am visually impaired (read: blind) and am having quite a difficult time trying to phrase the question in a way that google can answer as I do not know the terminology. I'm having a hard time explaining it even here.

Here is what I need and I realize I sound like a 4th grader, I assure you I am not.

I have two columns of information.
I want Excel to compare the two columns.
I want the third column to tell me the items that are in the first list, but NOT in the second list.

Here is hopefully a picture that works as a good explanation of what I'm after. The first column is a list of fruit in a basket. The second co

Hello!

I am a visually impaired, legally blind person. I will be taking the YELLOW BART line from Antioch to SFO and need to get to the Global Entry Office.

It's a long shot, but if someone had been recently and can remember how they got there -- could you please provide detailed, step by step walking narration of where to go to get the Global Entry Office from BART yellow line? (If I understand correctly, there are two different stations/stops at SFO depending on what train you take -- so it's important to note this is the YELLOW line from Antioch).

Example: Exit the BART turnstile and walk left approximately 100 feet. Turn Right at the junction and and go 50 feet down the

I can't seem to find this information and I won't have a sighted person with me. I hate fumbling about and asking strangers on the fly so having some information in advance is always helpful. Also, sometimes there is no agent around.

I will be coming from the direction of Berkeley and stepping off the train onto the platform.

When I step off the BART Train do I go left or right to get to the Airport Connector? Is it on the same platform or do I need to exit BART first?

Can I use my clipper card or do I need to buy a separate ticket?

If you need to exit BART first, after the fare gates is the Airport Connector area to the left, right or forward, or..? Are there stairs?

Any o

Hello.

I'm looking for a few Zelda BOTW friends on here who would be willing to help an older lady now and again I'm playing on a Switch. (By older I mean pushing 50 - does that count?) Anyone who is patient and who won't laugh at seemly simple questions like: What button brings up the magnetic thingee? Or, how do I sprint when running? How do you do the fancy moves with the sword?

A Walk though (which I try to use minimally) will show you WHAT to do it, but I get sometimes get stuck on the HOW. I would prefer not to regularly embarrass myself in public by asking these kinds of questions for all to see.

A little background about me and generally useless info:

Ok, done now.

Hey everyone, come on over!!

EDIT: Joan trapped at the top of town by the railway fence; just walk past the bulletin board and keep going, you'll run into her.

  • Add me before commenting here, then I will add you.

  • Please WALK ONLY & I prefer no wandering.

  • Multiple trips to locker are fine.

  • Absolutely no tipping expected or necessary; however, if someone just happens to have an extra ballon doggie lamp that they would like to SELL me, I'd happily pay 3000 bells for one. That is not expected nor required though! (For whatever reason my ballon presents just won't cough this one up after months and months!)

All are welcome!

r/personalfinance•

I don't usually carry debt so I'm not sure how to make a smart decision. I recently put $14,000 on two credit cards to make some emergency home repairs. Paying it back is no problem, I have excellent credit at 770+ and I'm re-financing the debt via SoFi to get a more reasonable rate than the credit cards. If I choose a 36 month loan, should I pick the Fixed at 7.119% or Variable starting at 5.915% and could go as high as 9.99%.

Do SoFI variable rates go up automatically or are they tied to the economy?

I will probably end up paying $100-200 in extra payments each month, if that matters.

Thank you for any advice.
