Maybe just an awkward sales agent, or they thought you were mad at them for in their mind trying to help. I decline phone number and zip code all the time. Also been using someone else's phone number at grocery stores for years -- started by mistake. I don't care about accumulated points or whatever but discounts at grocery store are pretty significant for me.
But I understand your frustration in general. Keep up the good fight :)
I've used this giorgio regni app on Android for years with various random earbuds.
The only option on its menu that reliably does anything for me is called "morphine pain killer", but it was a game changer for me for incapacitating sea sickness (believe me I had tried so many things I don't think I had any placebo potential left). On land, I've found it effective for post surgery pain, nerve pain, and even the odd depressive crying jag. I guess at this point I'm a believer so I'd be curious to know what effect it has on a "fresh" patient. I don't think I've tried it just for kicks, though, so not sure what you'll notice if you're already feeling ok.
Used to be considered simply prudent to back up the vhs tapes you bought and people were encouraged to tape their favorite shows off the tv. Now some random CEO of the month has the right to bury decades worth of creative works?
DrawExpress is very intuitive to use on a phone, but the files may not be editable in other software. It exports as SVG, PNG, or pdf.
Maybe this is normal, but I just learned last week that in Washington, if a candidate has lost the open primary they cannot be a write in candidate.
Interesting that the phone worked. I think some LEDs do send directional light, why they need to put diffusers even on all the tiny pixels of a tv, or maybe I'm confusing things. I was thinking originally about parabolic reflector, but I don't know if any common consumer items have those.
Tragic. I know this isn't the point of your post, but does this work any better with an old fashioned headlight or flashlight with the little bulb in the center of a sort of bowl-shaped reflector, or are those still too diffuse?
I think the 5g value really depends on like the exact neighborhood you're in, based on proximity to the towers, so it makes sense for them to target by address. Also, as a Nextdoor reader, I can tell you lots of people have no idea what their options are and if they weren't exactly the same people who think a doorbell is a prelude to murder these sales might actually make sense.
Put a lid on for the first minute, or a small lid right on the sandwich
I'm guessing your readers still encounter the hard sales pitch of the Medium membership regardless of your own monetization, that's all.
I made an paid account with medium to see posts related to my work, and I really enjoy it. I get an email every day with a handful of articles based on what I said my interests are/followed authors and I can read them with none of the issues other people are talking about (obviously because I've already caved to their business model, just pointing out the annoyances do actually stop, unlike some premium services).
If you think your readers will follow you to a paid platform, I don't see anything wrong with it. But if they don't want to pay, it sounds like it will be a bad experience. I would be skeptical of having a broader reach, also, since there is a lot of competition, not all of it human.
I wonder if it would take more or less time with auto-complete.
