Heard this morning (27 March, 2023) A transcript for this piece is not yet up. They're usually up in a couple of days.
~3 minute listen.
This one right-to-repair law got through in just one state, because the lawmaker who introduced it narrowed its focus down from "The right of everybody to repair anything" (too many businesses to lobby against that) to "the right of wheelchair users to repair their own wheelchairs."
On the one hand it's great. On the other hand, it's a reminder of how marginalized we are in society.
Next thing to fight for: the right of farmers to repair their own farm equipment.
One state's gotten started. Forty-nine to go...
Transcript is now up. I've put the full thing under the cut.
MICHEL MARTIN, HOST:
Somewhere on your list of life's annoyances is probably this - manufacturers who won't let customers fix products themselves. Some states are pushing back with right-to-repair laws. Andrew Kenney from Colorado Public Radio visited with one of the first people to use a new right-to-repair law for powered wheelchairs.
(SOUNDBITE OF WHEELCHAIR WHIRRING)
ANDREW KENNEY, BYLINE: Bruce Goguen, who's 68, has used his powered wheelchair for so long that it feels like an extension of himself. He has multiple sclerosis, which affects his speech.
BRUCE GOGUEN: I just think of it as legs, as being my legs.
KENNEY: And that means when he got a new chair last year, every detail had to be right, like the speed of its different modes. His wife, Robin Bolduc, says each one of those adjustments required a visit from an authorized technician. It took weeks.
ROBIN BOLDUC: We would have to call someone, make an appointment, have them come out and say, gee, I'd like to change it so we're walking just a little bit faster.
KENNEY: On one of those visits, Robin realized that the technician wasn't using some specialized device to change the settings. It was a smartphone app. She even found it on the App Store, but it was only available for authorized users.
BOLDUC: Well, I want the app. And he was like, you can't have the app. But I want the app.
KENNEY: That would've been the end of the road, except that Robin and Bruce knew that Colorado's new wheelchair right-to-repair to repair law had just gone into effect. Representative Brianna Titone is the sponsor of the new law. Back in 2021, she originally proposed a much broader bill that would've applied to computers, cellphones and more. That meant an uphill fight against lobbyists for everything from hospitals to tech giants.
BRIANNA TITONE: So I did not win that fight. I lost that fight pretty bad. So that's why the following year, we pared it back to the people who really deserve to have this right. And that were the people who were in wheelchairs.
TITONE: The narrower, wheelchair-focused law passed the legislature last year with the help of advocates like Bruce and Robin. Once it went into effect on New Year's Day, Robin called the manufacturer to demand access to their app.
BOLDUC: They were not prepared. Right. Which - understandably, we're the only state. And it was day one, right? So they were not prepared.
KENNEY: In a committee hearing last year, Tonya Hammatt of National Seating and Mobility, a wheelchair vendor, warned state lawmakers that power wheelchairs are too complex for DIY jobs.
(SOUNDBITE OF ARCHIVED RECORDING)
TONYA HAMMATT: This bill will allow anyone to perform complex repairs to power wheelchairs, which may lead to negative outcomes for the end user.
KENNEY: But after Robin showed Bruce's wheelchair's maker the text of the law, they agreed, sending out two staffers to get the family set up with the internal software.
BOLDUC: They gave me the code to get into the app. We played around. We programmed.
KENNEY: The couple have been tweaking the wheelchair's different modes, searching for the perfect speed for Robin to jog alongside Bruce or the right settings for a steep walking trail.
GOGUEN: It's wonderful. It's very wonderful.
KENNEY: And their success could have broader effects. They've been told the manufacturer is working on a public-facing app for everyone else who wants to use it. The company didn't respond to a request for comment. Meanwhile, right-to-repair laws are gaining momentum around the country, says Kevin O'Reilly of the advocacy group PIRG.
KEVIN O'REILLY: We think that this first bill was the crack in the dam that we needed.
KENNEY: That includes a new bill from Representative Titone that guarantees similar rights for farmers to repair their increasingly high-tech tractors and other equipment. It's poised to clear the state legislature in a matter of weeks. For NPR News, I'm Andrew Kenney.

Being disabled/chronically ill is expensive!
I don't know if people realize how freaking expensive it is to be disabled. I have a complex medical history, which includes two rare genetic illnesses, comorbidities associated with those two illnesses, and several mental health conditions. Just to give an idea of how expensive it is (USA-centric):
I'm forced into living in a specific city, since that's where the medical specialists for my illnesses are located in. On top of that, sometimes the specific specialists I need aren’t covered by my insurance, so I have to pay out-of-pocket. Each medical specialist (when covered by insurance) costs me $40/visit. I average 2-3 visits per month.
Wheelchairs and everything related to wheelchairs are ridiculously priced! If you’re a regular manual wheelchair user, for example, you likely need what’s referred to as a “custom ultra-lightweight wheelchair”. The main companies known for making these wheelchairs are TiLite, Quickie, RGK, Kuschall, and Ki Mobility. If you go on the websites for these manufacturers, you’ll see that just the frame will start you at $2,000+. Need titanium instead of aluminum to make the chair lighter? Extra $1,000. Need to add a seat cushion? More $$. Need to add a power assist device like a SmartDrive? Extra $6-7,000
Seriously, wheelchair parts are expensive. Manual wheelchair wheels will run you about $500 to $800 each (take a look at websites like Spinergy to see what I mean). Wheelchair tires will run at about $300 for the pair.
Mental healthcare! Competent psychiatric care is difficult to come by, at least where I live. Most psychiatrists are not contracted with any insurance companies. My own psychiatrist is $200 per visit, and that’s considered cheap in my area. Then, add on the cost of weekly therapy. My therapist is $150/session. Again, typical price for the area. Need residential treatment? As an example, my insurance quoted me $750 per day until the out-of-pocket max of $6,500 was met.
The monthly cost of medications! I take 7 medications. Even if each medication was “only” $10/month, that would total to $70/month.
The cost of specialized diets. Many chronic illnesses require special foods, supplements, and overall diets. A lot of these diets require extra time and expenses beyond what the average non-disabled person spends.
I wanted to spread some awareness on this issue because, even among my friend group, I regularly get surprised reactions on this topic. Disabled people are often low-income due to being unable to work consistently or at all, while also having some of the highest expenses—with many of those expenses having to be paid for completely out-of-pocket. While a lot of the examples I used above were specific to the US healthcare system, I’m aware that it’s still similarly expensive to be disabled in other countries as well.
A lot of this wasn’t even taking into consideration the cost of more expensive medical equipment, like power chairs, as well as irregular medical costs that occur more frequently among disabled people—like surgeries, hospitalizations, and the cost of diagnostic testing (MRIs, X-Rays, bloodwork, etc.).
Disabled people are taken advantage of when it comes to the price of medical equipment and medications because we don’t have a choice if we want to live and/or have any quality of life. We pay it, or we suffer.

What I think disability aids made by Borderlands gun manufacturers would be like. CW for mentions of systemic ableism and weight loss.
Atlas: Sleek and fancy, but also expensive as hell and prone to accidents. Sort of like IRL fancy prostheses or wheelchairs - they seem cool but are actually kinda sucky and very pricey. Don't expect the average Promethean to afford one. Though in this case, it's because they're often loaded with purely experimental tech that was probably shipped too early.
Hyperion: They make a few prosthetic and implant models and that's it. Pretty much all their stuff is aimed at their own employees trying to get "ahead" and not actual disabled people, so give up trying to find one fitting your particular needs. At least they're pretty fucking sturdy (but not against hacking). And no, they haven't thought of adopting those exoskeletons their engineers use for other needs.
Maliwan: Similar to above, but aimed at their general customer base instead. These guys are hipsters who try marrying form and function, and in many cases that means augs of some sort. I wouldn't really call them transhumanist though, that implies respecting bodily autonomy, human rights and not being ableist; these guys would sell arms with tracking chips and neural interfaces that fry your brainstem if you don't pay the subscription fee. And then tell you to lose weight with the new fad diet their marketing department cooked up. The hoverchairs and flavored chewelry are pretty great, tho.
Dahl: They wouldn't. They claim to be reliable but they're actually the biggest cowards in the Six Galaxies. If one of their soldiers loses a leg or something that's grounds for being (dis)honorably discharged. What exoskeletons or other devices they make are purely for war. Plus, the one Dahl employee we see having a prosthesis (Helena Pierce) doesn't seem to have a Dahl brand one. Aside from weird metal rank implants and funky gun-inspired fidget cubes they don't do much in this department.
Torgue: Expect everything to be painted like a Hot Wheels toy and probably explode somehow - either on you or on your enemies. All the mobility aids have jets attached for either smacking ableists with great force or speeding through town. I think Torgue himself wears a hearing aid (from all the explosions) and it looks like a fucking microphone with car parts on it, complete with exhaust.
Jakobs: Steampunk baybeee!!! Of course, the subgenre of said steampunk depends on the quality of the aid. The most basic ones are IRL Victorian era metal arms: flat, spiky, inhuman, but still quite ornate. The ones custom-tooled for execs and their families (looking at you, Alistair Hammerlock) are more "sleek" steampunk, with fine chassis of signature Jakobs brass and filigree engravings. They also make genuine wood canes with organic rubber grips that will outlive you if you take proper care of them... which is definitely shown in their price tags. The Jakobs stim toy line is half weird gear contraptions, half competition with Dahl's fidget cubes.
Vladof: Heavy, clunky, dieselpunk style. But damn if they aren't effective. A standard Vladof boostchair could break through a wall and be completely unharmed. A Vladof AAC device looks like an electron tube supercomputer that you have to haul around in a cart. That's all I really have to say here.
Tediore: I have no idea.

SUN SHUI
Tumblr media
Origin: asalee
Status: organic
Nationality/Ethnicity: Chinese-Japanese, living in Hunan-Hubei territory (east mainland China)
Age: 30 (date of birth 10/18/2012)
Occupation: Onmyodo-Wuxing blacksmith, leatherworker for the Qingdao Museum of Galvanism
About:
Sun Shui (addressed as Shui Sun in English) is an OW weaponscraft expert living in Qingdao, Hunan-Hubei. She is the youngest daughter of a once-prestigious OW family which specialized in weapons manufacturing. Her older sister is Lei Sun.
Shui did not pursue a formal education past high school, as at 17 years old she was paralyzed from the waist down from a spinal cord injury, and spent her early 20s gaining back her independence. She is a full time wheelchair user. During this time, she instead decided to take up the art of OW weaponscraft, a tradition passed down through the Sun family for generations. She works at the QMG to recreate what she remembers from before the war, as this practice has been mostly lost and can only be partially found in historical Chinese relics. In her free time, she also does pro bono work for disability agencies.
Shui is mild mannered and somewhat of a recluse. She dislikes the hustle-and-bustle of something like Lei's social life, which she avoids when she can. She also tries to keep her interactions with strangers to a minimum—she hates being the center of attention, and the stigma around disability usually means she's the first person to be singled out in a crowd. Though it makes her appear shy, Shui considers this a nuisance rather than a source of anxiety. She speaks truthfully, bluntly at times, but usually holds her tongue to keep the peace. This tends to snowball into her letting people walk over her rather than start drama she doesn’t want to deal with, and not sticking up for herself. Shui enjoys taking care of her 2 rabbits, very spicy food, contemporary art, and obscure Central Asian/Persian musique concrète.
Background:
Shui is the daughter of a Hunan-Hubei ambassador and a Japanese weapons manufacturing mogul, and grew up Japan. As the youngest Sun, she enjoyed letting her older sister handle all the social familial expectations. She developed a small but close friend group in her teens. She had taken interest in woodworking, and was an apprentice to her father, a blacksmith.
The Tangent War erupted when Shui was 17. A strict embargo against Japan bottlenecked resources, and a food shortage broke out as vital infrastructure had been destroyed. Shui contracted a waterborne illness as a result of contaminated groundwater. She became very ill, and worried for her health, her family decided to evacuate her to Hunan-Hubei for medical care. Lei, who found out she was pregnant, was to go with her.
On the flight to Korea, a nuclear warhead was dropped in Japan. The shockwave damaged their plane and it crashed into the ocean. Lei and Shui survived, but sustained severe injuries. After being rescued, Shui was able to be stabilized, while it was determined Lei would not make it through the night. She was not conscious when the decision was made to transfer her sister.
The crash left Shui paralyzed from the waist down, unable to use her legs. It took several years for her to recover fully, and she still had to learn how to regain her independence in a wheelchair. Since licensed medical science is largely a closed practice, what is available to the public tends to come from unreliable sources; additionally, there are no widely adopted protections for those with disabilities. Shui had to navigate a world very hostile to her condition. One of her early accomplishments was designing and building her own custom wheelchair, mostly out of necessity (institutions that make mobility aids are, again, largely a closed practice and prohibitively expensive, and most wheelchairs are made to be pushed by a carer rather than propelled by their user).
Shui now works with Lei to compile knowledge about OW. Her specialty is recreating OW weaponscraft from historic documents and relics. She also maintains the collection of recovered OW weapons, which she studies and/or restores. This job lets her have lots of time alone, which she likes as an introvert. It also puts some much-needed distance between her and her overbearing sister.

"I got you, dude"
***
The Freedom Pals finished their route by taking out some sixth graders that were hassling kids outside the movie theater. One of them landed a kick on Tupperware's torso that cracked the container under his left arm.
He was starting to walk away when Toolshed tapped him on the shoulder. "Hey! I got something for that. May I?"
Almost before Tolkien knew what was happening, Stan slapped a neat stripe of high-quality duct tape up one side over the crack. "Oh man, thanks Toolshed!"
"Yeah man, I got you! Here, lemme get the other side so it looks like a style choice."
***
Some days later, most of the guys were waiting in Tolkien's living room for their various rides. Stan was standing around talking with his friends and was about to walk outside where it was snowing...in just his Toolshed t-shirt. Toolshed felt a tap on his shoulder.
"Hey man, you need something going out there, its cold out. Take this!" and Tolkien pushed a jacket into his hands.
"Aw, I don't need it, I'm across the street anyway Its no bi-"
"Just put it on man, you can't fight crime if you get sick."
Toolshed relented, and zipped the jacket over his shirt. "Thanks man. ... Hey, it kinda goes with the look."
"If you like it it's yours. I uh, got two jackets for Christmas." Human Kite noticed out of the corner of his eye a shopping bag stashed near the door that looked like the same brand as the jacket.
"Cool, thanks dude!"
Yeah, I got you."
***
While working on an upgrade to the Tupperjet, Tupperware nearly broke a window trying to remove a stripped screw. "Damn....Hey, 'Shed, do you have a pinhammer I could use to get these out?"
"Yeah, I got you, one sec."
"Thanks dude!"
***
"Tupperware, I need some protection for the wrist drill attachments; I can block when they're not retracted but otherwise the track gets janky. Got anything I could use?"
"Sure, I got you! My mom made spaghetti last week and we've got plastic thrown out in the recycling bin."
"Sweet, thanks 'Tups!"
***
Professor Chaos' minion set off a self-destruct that just caught Tupperware in its wake. He's shoved backwards by the blast and waves his arms vainly, falling backwards-
-and one hand finds Toolsheds glove, solidifying into an iron grip. The handyman hero hooked his measuring tape to a tree and caught them both in time before they went over the edge.
"I got you, dude!"
Mosquito came running up, grabbing Tupperware's other arm and pulling them both up to stable ground. He complained later to Super Craig how Tolkien didn't even LOOK at Clyde when thanking him for the rescue. His attention was occupied on someone else.
***
The meth-addicted hobos that had ambushed the team on a mission to the old mall parking lot weren't the brightest enemies they'd faught, but their blind druggie rage packed a powerful punch and all of them were feeling the effects. Toolshed knocked away two in one blow with his drill ground attack, saving Mysterion from yet another messy death. In the process however, he didn't see the one coming up behind him from under a tarp...
"I got you, Toolshed!"
...Before Toolshed knew what was happening, he was standing near the other side of the mostly-cleared battlefield as an electric *hum* and soft blue light faded around him. He saw where he'd been standing, Tupperware was surrounded by the same glow as his advanced shields met the druggie attack and deflected it to a harmless rattle. Moments later, The Coon pounced claws-first and finished the fight. Toolshed didn't react when his chubby friend in a fursuit commented that he needed to do better at watching his ass...and then murmured that he was more concerned with someone else's. Ass, that is.
***
"...So anyway, with the 3D Printer my dad just bought, we have basically limitless options for supplies and gear! Toolshed and I found a site that translates manufacturer specs into three dimensional plans for easy customizing and building. We printed a logo that attaches to Professor Timmy's wheelchair wheels that doubles as a shock absorber. How cool is THAT?"
Around the table of the Freedom Pals, everyone clapped politely except for Toolshed. Toolshed grinned widely and clapped the loudest, proud of their shared achievement.
***
After the meeting, Kite, Mysterion, and Coon approached Professor Timmy's chair.
Kyle cleared his throat.
"Heyyy, Professor...Would it be possible for you to help us with something?"
If it is within my immense telepathic and psychokinetic powers, and doesn't get me in trouble with my mom, of course heroes. What do you need that my powerful brain can help you obtain?
The Coon leaned into Mysterion's ear. "I know Timmy's head was big to begin with but geez..."
"Uh, yes, thank you Professor!" Kite continued. "See, we are friends with, um, Toolshed and lately he's seemed...distracted. Could you maybe use your powers and tell us what exactly his - er, deal is?"
There's silence, and Timmy's gaze turns to the other side of the room. Tolkien is out of his Tupperware suit and is leaning over a drawing Stan is showing him. "So, I got to thinking after seeing the 3D printer at work, maybe I can incorporate some kind of glue gun attachment? I have the heating elements already installed like so, and maybe-" The conversation continued in depth as the two boys excitedly went over plans and ideas that their shared knowledge and ability could actually make possible.
Timmy turned back to Kyle, not even bothering with the telepathy. Instead, he rolled his eyes at the three friends. "Timmy?" He gestured with his hand at Tolkien laughing at a joke Stan made, and the way he visibly seemed to glow brighter when Tolkien's hand clapped his shoulder. ".....timmy."
Kyle sighed and crossed his arms. "Yeah...I guess we didn't really need your powers either."
Cartman put a hand to his face. "God, that rich asshole better not Yoko our crew here."
Mysterion shrugged, and smiled from deep within the cowl of his hood. "I mean, who wouldn't fall for them baby blues?"
The other boys all nodded sagely. "Timmy timmy. Tim-may."
"That was beautiful Professor."
"Yeah, well-said," Coon leaned forward to check on The Human Kite's expression. "Well? Should we interfere?"
Human Kite for a moment didn't seem to hear his companion. A few seconds passed however, and he smiled. "Nah, I think he's got this."

The Frustration Trap
It started when we had to buy a new oven. We did our research before we purchased the range we wanted. At least, we thought we bought the range that we wanted.
I was 17 and my parents were away on business when they delivered the unit. We did not receive an oven. The local hardware store instead delivered what I maintain is the most useless cooktop in existence instead of the range we wanted.
Most importantly, there was no oven. We can't make do with just the stovetop. Some argue otherwise, but there are some foods you need to put in the oven. For example, sous-vide chicken wings just don't taste right.
I swung by the furniture store where we bought the range. I waited forever to talk to someone because the place was crawling with personal shoppers who soaked up the cashier's time and attention. I've never seen personal shoppers in a housewares store other than for people in wheelchairs, not even in a fancy housewares store.
Finally, someone came over to help. "Hi, can I help you?" said a sales associate with a bushy hairdo, mustache, and a name tag that read "Doug."
"Yes," I said, "we bought a range here and you delivered a totally useless cooktop"
Doug tilted his head to one side. "What was wrong with it?"
I pulled out the picture I took of the cooktop on my phone. "The piece of shit that called itself a cooktop had no dials and was made of window glass painted to look like quartz glass."
Doug had difficulty believing what I just said. He tipped his head to one side. "How would you work a cooktop with no dials?" he asked.
"By using the app that goes with it, which is also total shit," I huffed. It pisses me off that the manufacturer forces you to download a crappy app to restore functionality you expect to come standard.
"Oh, this?" Doug said as he pointed to the app on my phone, "Yeah, their app is super easy to use."
"Ya think?"
Doug began his bullshit-laden spiel. "well, it's free and -"
"No, it's not." I interrupted, "The app wasn't free and the subscription fee cost almost twice as much as our rent!"
"Well," Doug stammered, "you can control the cooktop from anywhere - "
I blinked at him. "Doesn't matter. This stupid app made you give it your social security number to set up two-factor authentication and your bank account to verify payment information. I have no idea how stupid people would be to use it," i said, "Worse, none of the materials online mentioned you'd need this to install the app."
"Why is it stupid?" Doug asked.
"I'm positive that this app harvests your data and sells it on the black market."
Doug still didn't get it. "What's your point?"
"My point is you didn't deliver the product you wanted and what you did deliver is useless." I said tensely.
Doug shrugged. "How is this my problem? I'm not responsible for what we sell."
"Yes, you are" I nodded, "You are a salesman. You are responsible for assisting the customer when the product fails to meet expectations." I can't believe I had to tell him his job.
Doug raised his hands. "Hey, it's not my fault your frustration tolerance is so bad," he said defensively. He did the human equivalent of a lazy pony that trots really fast when you ask him to canter and hopes you don't notice.
I started to lose my patience. I felt myself tense up and go up on my tiptoes. "I do not have bad frustration tolerance," I said. I struggled not to yell at him. "The same things that frustrate you also frustrate me. I'm just more vocal about what's bugging me than other people."
"Yes, but let me repeat myself here," Doug said to me, "I am not responsible for the manufacturer telling the truth, nor am I responsible for managing the customer expectations. My mandate is that I only get the thing out of the store."
"No," I corrected, "that's only half your mandate."
Doug nervously turned around. "I'm going to get my manager."
"Yes," I nodded, "please do, because you're clearly too stupid to handle this on your own."
The manager arrived but did nothing to help. "Is there a problem here?" she asked with a facial expression that suggested I pulled her away from playing League of Legends on company time.
I noticed her name tag read "Anna". "Yes, I bought a range and they delivered a cooktop that leaves loads to be desired and the salesman has done nothing to help me rectify why I've received a subpar product," I said.
Anna shrugged her shoulders. "Why should I deal with your frustration?"
"Because it's a question of customer service," I huffed. I tried not to yell at her because people who work in stores have shit jobs and it isn't fair to yell at people who are trying to help even though their pay and work environment is crap.
Anna shook her head and said, "No, you just can't cope with frustrations."
I could feel myself losing control. My mouth dried up and I started shaking and pointing indiscriminately. "I do not have any more of a problem coping with frustrations than the next person," I said unbelievably quickly, "What I have trouble coping with is Doug's inability to do his job!"
Anna leaned forward and talked down to me, "No, he does his job just fine, you're just a bitch with the frustration tolerance of a four-year-old."
There was no way I could get myself back down. I couldn't even leave the store. I just froze. While I stood there unable to calm myself down, she proceeded to record me on her phone
It slowly occurred to me that she egged me on in hopes she could get a good Karen video to post online and license the rights to the highest bidder. I tried to walk away before I could further humiliate myself, but my legs just wouldn't move. I know because I fell over just turning around.
In hindsight, I don't think it would have helped. "I'm putting that on YouTube!" Anna exclaimed triumphantly.
The video went viral. It spread like wildfire across social media platforms. It captured the attention of thousands, including my parents.
They came home from their business trip early so they could deal with me. Dad brought the suitcase in from the car. I took a deep breath and steeled myself for what would come.
"We need to talk," Dad began as he slammed his large suitcase on the stairs.
"Lay it on me," I sighed as I sat down on the couch.
Dad walked into the living room, sat in front of me, and pulled up the video on his phone. "I saw this video of you giving the manager of the Karl Farbman Store a hard time about the range we bought," he sighed heavily in frustrated disappointment.
I didn't hesitate to defend myself. "Because it wasn't right, and they weren't doing their job," I firmly retorted.
Dad pinched the bridge of his nose, a sign of mounting frustration. "Harriet, this is why you need to check before you accept the order," he reasoned, trying to get his point across.
"It's not my fault they brought it while you were away," I responded with a touch of exasperation, "They said they were bringing it the week before you left."
Dad looked at me incredulously. His frustration broke through. "Then whose fault is it? Charles DeGaulle's?!" he exclaimed sarcastically.
My eyes widened in disbelief. "You weren't there!" I shouted, "Those morons were the exact opposite of helpful!"
Dad waves his hands horizontally. "It doesn't matter, Harriet," he grimaced, "The problem isn't the customer service at Farbman, the problem is you wear your frustrations on your sleeve, and that attracts the wrong attention."
I crossed my arms. "Not all the time," I protested.
Dad shook his head. "Harriet, when you deal with people, they see you express what's bugging you, and unfortunately, they take advantage of you so they can get a Karen video that they hope will go viral," he explained, "They set a trap, and you walked right into it."
My eyes narrowed. "Well, then, avoid those people," I shot back.
Dad shook his head. "You're going to be avoiding everybody if you do that," he retorted. "Retail workers make next to nothing, so what would you do if you saw someone who was upset, and you knew that you'd make ten times your yearly salary from the video of their meltdown?"
"Start looking for a better job?" I asked. I wasn't wrong.
"No. You'd egg them on and hope you got something explosive enough that you could license it to a content aggregator," Dad shouted like this was something that I should know, "Anyone who works in retail will natter at customers until they explode, but for most people, it doesn't post a problem because they don't express frustration as visibly as you do."
I hesitated before I said anything. Nattering at people until they blow up so you can make money off the footage of their tantrums didn't seem normal, but maybe I had just gotten lucky. "So, you're saying it's my fault that someone tricked me into misbehaving?" I questioned. How can the actions of someone else be my fault?
"No, Harriet," Dad said sharply, "it's your fault for taking the bait."
I mentally checked out. Nothing Dad said made any sense, so I picked up the Rubik's cube and tried to solve it.
Grandpa gave me the Rubik's cube just before he died. He asked me to solve this ordinary-looking but very special cube. I received no instructions on how to solve it, only a note that read: There are two kinds of people in the world - people who can solve Rubik's cubes, and people who just move the stickers around to make it look like you solved it. The latter are cheaters.
It's been a month. I'm nowhere near solving it. The mechanism would jam if I turned in a certain way. Unfortunately, turning it that way seemed to be a requirement to solve the puzzle. I tried so many other ways to avoid turning at the way where it got jammed, but nothing worked. It'd feel like I got somewhere but then I'd make an even bigger mess and have to start over.
Dad caught me struggling to turn the Rubik's cube. "You see? You're doing it again, Harriet."
"No, I'm not!" I grunted as I turned it as hard as I could.
To everybody's shock, the Rubik's cube broke apart after I turned it. If you turned it past the point where it jammed, the cube itself would open up to reveal the mechanism inside. I looked at the mechanism and saw it contained an SD card. I picked it up and put it in the pocket of my jeans.
I haven't been able to sleep that night. At about 1 a.m. the next day, I got up and plugged the SD card into the computer. I noticed only one item: a wave file titled November-3-2002-Broadcast.
I clicked on the link, intrigued by the mysterious recording that awaited me. As the audio began to play, I realized it was a recording of an alien anthropologist calling into a podcast. The familiar voices of the podcast hosts greeted the extraterrestrial guest.
"Welcome to the show," the host chimed in. "What's up? You've reached our podcast."
The caller gave the people on the podcast the surprise of their lives. "Uh, yeah, my name is Jethré. I'm one of the many aliens studying your species, and I'm calling to lodge a complaint."
The host sat there with a confused look on his face, looking confused. "OK?" he responded casually. He thought it was a joke - people prank call podcasts all the time, especially in the fall.
Jethré quickly explained, "Your species needs to stop calling yourselves Homo sapiens. The term sapient means something specific: a sentient species. Many species of sentient aliens, ours included, do not consider humans sentient."
The host's disbelief turned into curiosity. "Why is that?" he asked. He seemed genuinely intrigued by the alien's perspective.
"Because you humans are unable to keeneetaa," Jethré responded.
While the host muttered "What the hell is keeneetaa?"; his co-host chimed in with a suggestion. "Is it the ability to evolve intelligence without destroying our environment?"
Jethré promptly dismissed the notion. "Nope, it's not that," xe replied.
The co-host's determination persisted. "How about the ability to power our big brains on a plant-only diet?"
I don't think any of those are right. It sounds like someone projecting their wishful thinking onto something they don't understand. It's more likely that keeneetaa is either a universal language understood by all members of a species, a connection to some psionic web of understanding, or some wacky dance with little kicks and thumbs.
Jethré finally told us what keeneetaa was supposed to be. "It's neither. Keeneetaa is the sound of something colliding with nothing." xe said.
It took me a while to figure out what something colliding with nothing was supposed to mean. "No Earth language has a word for the instantaneous realization that something magnificent doesn't exist."
The alien was right. No language on Earth has a word for that, not even German, and German has a word for everything. We do, however; have a story for it: the story of The Emperor's New Clothes.
I thought back to my debacle with the stove we bought from the Karl Farbman store. The salespeople went on and on about how fantastic the smart cooktop was, but I was the only one who saw it for what it was: nothing but garbage. I saw something everyone said was magnificent was really nothing.
Does this mean I am the only sentient human because I can keeneetaa? Only time will tell.

Custom-Fit Mobility Equipment
The Rise of Custom-Fit Mobility Equipment: Tailoring Comfort and Functionality to Your Needs
In recent years, the landscape of mobility equipment has evolved dramatically, shifting from one-size-fits-all solutions to bespoke, custom-fit options designed to enhance both comfort and functionality. This change is not merely a trend but a significant advancement in how we approach mobility challenges, ensuring that each individual receives equipment tailored to their unique needs. Here's a deep dive into the world of custom-fit mobility equipment and why it’s becoming a game-changer for many.
 The Importance of Custom-Fit Mobility Equipment
1. Personalized Comfort: Standard mobility devices often come with preset dimensions and settings that may not suit every user. Custom-fit mobility equipment, on the other hand, is tailored to fit the specific measurements and requirements of the individual. This personalized approach ensures better comfort, reduces the risk of pressure sores, and minimizes discomfort, especially during prolonged use.
2. Enhanced Functionality: When mobility equipment is designed to meet a user's exact needs, it often performs better in real-world situations. For example, a custom-fit wheelchair can offer improved maneuverability, stability, and support, making it easier for users to navigate various environments and perform daily activities.
3. Improved Safety: Standard equipment might not always address specific safety concerns. Custom-fit solutions can be engineered to include additional safety features that are pertinent to the user’s particular condition or environment. This includes tailored adjustments for better balance, secure harnesses, or specialized supports.
 Key Aspects of Custom-Fit Mobility Equipment
1. Assessment and Measurement: The journey to custom-fit mobility equipment begins with a thorough assessment by a professional. This typically involves detailed measurements of the user's body, including dimensions, weight distribution, and range of motion. Additionally, factors such as the user’s daily activities and personal preferences are considered to ensure the final product meets all requirements.
2. Design and Development: Once the assessment is complete, the design phase starts. Engineers and designers work closely with healthcare providers and the user to create a blueprint for the equipment. This phase may involve 3D modeling and prototyping to refine the design and ensure it meets all functional and comfort criteria.
3. Manufacturing and Adjustment: The custom-fit equipment is then manufactured according to the specifications provided. During this stage, high-quality materials are selected to ensure durability and performance. After manufacturing, the equipment undergoes rigorous testing and final adjustments to guarantee it performs as intended.
4. Ongoing Support and Adaptation: Custom-fit mobility equipment often requires ongoing support to adjust to changing needs. Healthcare providers and equipment specialists typically offer follow-up services to make any necessary modifications and ensure the equipment continues to serve the user effectively.
 Real-World Impact
The benefits of custom-fit mobility equipment are evident in numerous real-world scenarios. For individuals with unique physical challenges or those recovering from injury or surgery, custom solutions offer an enhanced quality of life. For instance, custom-fit wheelchairs have been known to dramatically improve users’ independence and comfort, while tailored prosthetics and orthotics can enhance functionality and ease of use.
Moreover, custom-fit mobility equipment is not limited to individuals with disabilities. Athletes, for example, often use custom-fit equipment to optimize their performance. Adaptive sports equipment, such as racing wheelchairs and specialized prosthetics, can be customized to suit the specific demands of the sport and the athlete’s body.
 The Future of Custom-Fit Mobility Equipment
As technology continues to advance, the future of custom-fit mobility equipment looks promising. Innovations such as 3D printing, smart materials, and wearable technology are opening new possibilities for creating even more personalized and effective mobility solutions. These advancements are expected to make custom-fit equipment more accessible and affordable, further revolutionizing the way we address mobility challenges.
In conclusion, the shift towards custom-fit mobility equipment represents a significant leap forward in enhancing the lives of those with mobility challenges. By prioritizing personalization and functionality, custom solutions offer unparalleled comfort, safety, and effectiveness. As the field continues to evolve, we can anticipate even greater innovations that will further refine and expand the possibilities of custom-fit mobility equipment.
