A coworker wears a hearing aid, but has never actively mentioned it. I have noticed that sometimes they don't quite follow a conversation, as they ask a question that has just been explicitly answered, or mistake a word for a close-sounding one.
Is there a respectful way to ask them if they have a "good ear" so that I stand on the correct side when i speak with them? Or to offer to speak louder? Is it helpful to correct them every time I notice they got something wrong? #Accessibility #AskFedi -

The easiest answer is to write stuff down if it's important, and the second answer nobody wants is to speak more succinctly or come to terms with the fact that even hearing people are bad at paying attention. Listening takes energy, more energy with an obstacle, and while asking if you can accommodate is commendable (continues)

Had to go out to pick up something I ordered. There are a LOT of people out down at the creek.
Too hot to be outside anywhere, but it seems "people" don't think so. (admittedly, if you *are* going to be out, in the creek is the place to be).

Quizzino della domenica: Strana equazione
784 - algebra
La sonda marziana Curiosity ha trovato delle scritte dell'antica civiltà marziana. Una di esse, una volta decifrata, è la seguente: 5x² − 50x + 125 = 0: x = 5 e x = 8. In effetti 5 è una soluzione dell'equazione, ma 8 non lo è: 5×64 − 50× + 125 = 45. Quante dita avevano i marziani?(trovate un aiutino sul mio sito, alla pagina https://xmau.com/quizzini/p784.html; la risposta verrà postata lì il prossimo me https://wp.me/p6hcSh-91s
