This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.

This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?

Just post some stuff and don't spam.

I looked it up because I was curious and there are atleast two blind mechanics. Can't speak as to how effective alt text would be in teaching most blind people though, I imagine it'd be way easier to learn hands-on

Fair enough, there's almost always exceptions to the norm. Still, I don't think it's even possible for a blind mechanic to feel his way to fix alignment issues.
