Mildly Interesting

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 was gonna say, this looks more like blotter paper than braille.

Ohh, yes that makes much more sense. I was trying to figure out why a blind person would need to graph soemthing out.

When it doubt, the answer is drugs. Always drugs.

The paper was in with a bunch of braille GED study books. One might need to do some graphing to get one's GED.

Graphing is still necessary for the blind, but it's more common to use a plastic sheet on a hard rubber clipboard with a stylus that causes the plastic to rise up when it's pressed with a bit of force. (Though while googling for it I found plenty of examples like yours so maybe less common than I thought)

When I was a kid, the local public library had braille Playboys, which was always a joke, but considering they had amazing fiction and interviews, maybe it shouldn't have been.

Sounds like we're winning sire!

I don't think that's what this is. How would they graph something on this? It's not like you could just draw on it. Is the blind person supposed to punch holes in it or something?
