I will add, though, that I don't find it plausible this was deliberately done by anyone with intent to convince anyone that the new version was the actual text of the constitution unless they, the person doing it, was incredibly stupid.

It's actually possible that this whole furore of reaction is the intended effect, then they can claim people are being reactionary over what's obviously an error.

(What makes it less likely to be an error is that the corresponding annotations to the removed parts of section 8 have also disappeared)

Well, no. It's just the Library of Congress's "annotated constitution". The senate's version is intact, and even if it weren't it would have no effect.

That is, as I suspect you know 😉, not the point. No-one doing this would think it changed anything. It raises the questions of who did it, and why.

Fortunately, I was asleep when you posted that😄

I'm definitely going to need today to recover, though. I have chronic balance problems, and it's still off from baseline.

Taxi to my home station has been laid on.

Yeah, though it usually takes physical contact.

There is a non-trivial risk that I will end up in Scotland even in that case.

If I fall asleep, I'll miss my stop.

I don't think this suggests there's anything wrong, I'm sure it's just me adjusting to the new prescription, but it's kinda disturbing.

You mean like an entirely philological structure for his fictional languages? ;)

Moving my head up and down all the time (and somewhat left and right) is annoying, and not great for my balance (positional vertigo - not BPPV, some other unspecified cause of positional vertigo and imbalance).

So the search ended up being much quicker, and I should have a new rollator Monday-ish. Same as the old one but updated, slightly wider (which is annoying but I didn't find *any* significantly narrower), and with big front wheels.

The end.

A short time into my search, I discovered that a new iteration of the same range was being made, just with a different manufacturer name. And they were still making a version with larger front wheels (an upgrade I'd been wishing for, for white a while)
December 26, 2024 at 6:42 PM
I had found out, over a year ago, that the company that made my current one didn't do rollators any more, so was resigned to arduously searching and making compromises.

Opportunities to buy a new one in person are limited, though I was near a store for work recently, so tried some out, and figured that I had enough info from that to find what I wanted online.
