It seems like you’re trying to get the tail to wag the dog. Ask yourself what your greatest good is, and order your life towards that.

Because if you’re wise you don’t worship money.

The electromagnetic sensors under the road for traffic lights also mess with AM reception in my non-electric car. Which in a city is a non-trivial amount of time.

I can’t wait for spoofed messages from my loved ones.

I like how much thought went behind this post. I think it can be very useful to anyone looking to start in the kitchen.

However, it really doesn’t resonate with me. I was hoping to get some extra tips for min/maxing my kitchen time or some tasty slow cooker recipes. Perhaps a recipe for a macro and micro nutrient rich smoothie with minimal ingredients.

I don’t?

I’m also interested. What’s your latitude and do you get sun often?

Why? Southeastern Wisconsin has a decent amount of manufacturing and Kenosha specifically used to be a car manufacturing powerhouse as well as beds. So I assume this is more of a comment on Foxconn not following through on their end of the bargain.

Impressed by your attentiveness. I’m sure prosody is a fantastic product, I don’t mean to drag it through the mud.

What I should expound on is that in the Jitsi server configuration that out of the box they don’t have good documentation for getting room size, participants, total number of rooms etc. I did find the Jitsi community forums where the Jitsi devs tell community members how to enable some prosody plugins. There was an issue for my vanilla configuration where I needed to update Lua and download 5 other lua rocks. Then the mod-muc-size plug-in needs to be modified and the nginx configuration needs to be updated as well. This is my rough memory from a month ago.

So it would be nice if Jitsi had a more out of the box solution for this integration, and I understand prosody is just a piece in the whole production.

I get your hesitation, but it’s not advertising. You didn’t want your mom to take you and your crush to the movie theater. You didn’t want to wait 30 minutes until after practice to get picked up because your parents both work until 5.

(I’m afraid that, your worldview may be, more narrow, than you, may think.)

The term is price discrimination.

Offering coupons through the mail, online ad codes etc. You are reaching out to different demos using different marketing techniques and offering or not offering discounts accordingly.

Went to go buy an apple watch and wanted to try the different sizes and feel the weights of the different models on my wrist. I signed in and was told that someone would come find me- that I just need to wait by the table. So I sit by the table for 25 minutes. I inquire around the table as to who's been helped/ try to gauge how many people are in front in "line". I wait for 20 minutes without any Apple employee coming to the table to help anyone. I see about 5 employees standing around- not sure what their purposes are. I find someone in a blue shirt and khakis and tell them that I want to give them money but there has been zero progress in the watch selling, but there are other people in line in front of who also are interested in giving them money but likewise not being helped. The person issues me the standard retail apology without any additional information. 5 minutes go by without any other communication and I leave the store without a watch.

It was off-putting to say the least.
