That makes about as much sense as this:

bdylanNo use whatsoever...but, it does signal that they care so very much.

GustoferI saw a braille menu at a drive-thru the other day.
I agree. More PC bullshit.

corsairWhile I'm sympathetic to the blind...this does nothing but virtue signal.
But, but, it's important they're recognized and awareness is madeda fuq? Who else needs to be recognized and made aware...quadriplegics? asthma suffers? Hay fever suffers? Eczema or, psoriasis?

Tooky13I was watching the TV show "Private Eyes" last night and the guy's daughter, who's blind, was showing her dad braille tatoos! Figure that one out!

Tiny Ti balls implanted below the skin, been out for a long time. I am guessing you could also do it with branding I imagine.

2AdefenderThey wore the braille uniforms last night. I watched part of the game - the uniforms definitely looked weird. But they did it as a fundraiser for the National Federation for the Blind. All the ballclubs do charity fundraisers throughout the season.
For the O’s, thank god the season is winding down.

Chris AnchorIt's Ok, within the next 4 to 5 games The Orioles will break the MLB 1938 record of the most games lost in a season. If can't win the World Series, you can still set records. Since very few fans are showing up these days, anytime there is a giveaway (shirts/hats/etc) you are guaranteed to get one. As we say here in Baltimore "There's always next year". Chris

braillediverAt work they put Braille instructions on the door of the microwave. The keypad to the right is a flat piece of glass without braille. Do the instructions on the door say "You're fucked" in braille?
