  • Hard of hearing also. It’s so frustrating that text signs that list announcements are so rare.

    Captions on television/movies and games are commonplace, but in the real world, very few places care.

    Might be because I’m in a red state for a few more years due to family; blue states likely tend to be more aware of issues like ours.

    I did see written callouts of upcoming tram stops once, but I can’t recall which airport. It may have been ORD.














  • This is typical in forensics. No one cannot make a definitive claim yet until a lab examines everything that’s been recovered. Most likely, that is what’s been found, yes, but confirming it takes time.

    It’s also why you may hear a technician say that a sample is “consistent with” something (say, a person) when it is not possible to confirm where it came from.

    Until relatively recently, a hair with no root was just about impossible to match to a single person, so that was a common example of that phrasing. Now, in some cases, it’s possible to get DNA from the strand.
