One of the most iconic images from the Space Shuttle era.

Captured on February 9, 2010, during mission STS-130, this photograph shows Space Shuttle Endeavour in silhouette as it approaches the International Space Station for docking.

The image was taken by astronauts aboard the ISS. What makes this shot truly special is the contrast the dark outline of the shuttle against Earth’s glowing atmospheric layers, transitioning from deep black space to warm orange and soft blue tones.

It’s a rare perspective that highlights both human engineering and the fragile beauty of our planet in a single frame.

It was Chantelle Bissaillion's worst nightmare on Monday when a school official arrived at her home just before noon looking for her daughter Amelia, whom she had brought to school that morning.

The Picton, Ont., parent and her husband then learned their nine-year-old — who has autism spectrum disorder (ASD), attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and oppositional defiant disorder (ODD) — had gone missing during morning recess and that police were involved in a search.

While a neighbour searching town ultimately found and brought Amelia home in the early afternoon, Bissaillion, a mother of three, remains upset and shaken.

"You trust these schools to take your kid from the age of three, sometimes four ... and they're supposed to be safe," she said. "How can I send [my kids] back to school now?"

[green, speaking, looking smug]
Okay, hear me out, here's the plan…
We go full apathy, basically we let capitalism fully spiral out into fascism. Once it's done, people will rise up and the system will collapse under its own weight. From its ashes, with our help, a better society will rise. This is how we win.

Within an hour of dropping my son off at junior kindergarten, I’m called to pick him up. The excitement of the first day of school quickly gives way to sadness and embarrassment. He was sitting on a chair in the office sucking his thumb while the secretary chastised him for misbehaving. I feel the need to chastise him, too; to signal we don’t condone whatever it is he did. But on the steps of the school after we leave the office, I kneel in front of him. I tell him he’s a wonderful boy. I promise him we’ll figure school out together.

It’s a promise I haven’t been able to keep.

My twin boys, now in Grade 5, have autism and complex needs. At one point, both of them were not attending school full-time because the public system does not support them.

These days, with one of my son’s schools, we’ve developed an “understanding.” I pick him up early. Sometimes earlier if I get the call. And I always get the call.

My body exists in a permanent state of readiness, waiting to be told my child is “having a hard day.” The euphemisms vary, but the message is always the same: get here. Every time I collect my boy, I see him as I did on that first day of JK: confused, overwhelmed, trying to comfort himself.

I use Librewolf, alternatively, Floorp, so I wonder if there's anything I can use on them to download videos with.

And I plan on using them on sites similar to hianime, but I'm tired of like, finding one stream and it dies, then having to go find another .etc

I want to save my favorite series so I can have something to watch reliably than something that is operating on uncertainty.

Any ideas?

By work computer, I mean one that you have very limited control over - can't install anything, or add extensions, etc.

For example, there used to be a trick where you could run a Bing search of a YouTube URL and the results would include an embed of the video but with Bing's own video player, and something about that made the ads not work. Which was great - ad free YouTube on a computer I can't install ad blockers on!

That doesn't seem to work anymore, but makes me wonder if there are things like that - just little roundabout tricks to make the experience less trash, on a rig where my options are limited to what's already there.

Asking about any tricks, not just YouTube or ad related ones (but those too if you know any!).

Thanks all!
