Reply to Films that are excellent to throw on at night and fall asleep to. I need some suggestions, and I have a few that work for me. by Single_View_3645
Old episodes of Star Trek shows. TV used to be different than it is now... Up until Voyager, you really don't need to pay attention to plots and actions and overarching themes. Each week is a quick, lo-fi getaway, competently made and entertaining without demanding your total slavish focus. You can tune in and out at will, fall asleep in the middle, won't matter, you can enjoy it all.

The best time to do it is years ago, and the second-best time is now.
Mostly WRT planting trees, but I'm applying that to lots of stuff lately.

I can only audiobook while driving. I have some long, flat, straight, boring ass drives in my life. Even then I'm only attempting fiction, where if I miss a sentence or two I haven't really lost much, usually, that I can't pick back up from context.
About to start the three-body problem in a week or two. I gather that one's tough to keep up with on audio... We'll see

I'm still recovering from the last time the internet was upended after net neutrality, and it killed me twice.

Reply to How to eliminate transitions for disability/mobility reasons by HobokenChickn
So the cheapest thing (and what I've done in my house) is to purchase rubber threshold ramps from Amazon (or spinlife, or possibly request some through PCP/PT/OT if that's a thing for you). Make only the minimal adjustments to flooring that you would've done anyway, and then set these mini ramps at each transition and trim them to the desired height and width. Mine showed up with about a 2" height, which I cut down to about 3/4" to match my door threshold. Put some grip tape on the bottom, call it a day. I also put in (well, had a contractor put in) a foam-based ramp in the garage, which has held up phenomenally well and looks nicer than the metal ramp outside (not as nice as the concrete in the back yard, but much cheaper).
But anyway, yeah -- threshold ramps make it so you really don't have to worry about perfect level. Although, I say that for wheelchair purposes, and your tripping concerns are maybe a different animal. If you go that route, buy one taller than you need and then cut it lengthwise at the proper height for your floor.
