Nareed Member since: Oct 24, 2012 Threads: 346 Posts: 12545 | How about an app that vibrates and/or beeps when you're looking for your phone? It would work with voice recognition. You stand int eh room, or sit (I suppose), and say loudly "where's my phone?" and off it goes. you don't even need an app. With "assistants"all the rage, simply asking "Siri, where are you?" should be enough.

Did she scream at you publicly or in a private message? If it was public would you mind sharing a link (in PM if you like). I would like to throw in my two cents. I make spelling errors, and we are all growing increasingly tolerant of people using words like "thru", but to say spelling no longer matters if content can be inferred is a major step down the slope. |

beachbumbabs Member since: Sep 3, 2013 Threads: 6 Posts: 1600 | Spelling matters. I definitely form an unfavorable opinion about 1. Individuals who can't spell. People have typos, but c'mon. 2. Interchanged use of homophones. 3. Media, whether online or hard copy, with stupid spelling errors. 4. Special scorn reserved for unclever misspellings in marketing products or other names. i.e. KWIK-anything. Ugh.

Of course it was in public, she wanted them all to see it. No link, it's a closed forum. And I use 'thru' all the time because I'm too lazy to type 'through'. She's a hotshot translator from EU who works at a tech firm translating tech manuals into other languages, of which she speaks 3. She really went off on me. If you take a risk, you may lose. If you never take a risk, you will always lose. |

You sure it wasn't a last straw kind of thing, EB? You do have a certain "gift" for a cumulative persona... ;D Never doubt a small group of concerned citizens can change the world; it's the only thing ever has |

She's known as the 'Nazi' mod in the group, people leave because of her all the time. It's 99% women there and she has a particular hatred for men. If you take a risk, you may lose. If you never take a risk, you will always lose. |

odiousgambit Member since: Oct 28, 2012 Threads: 154 Posts: 5055 | 4 of us, all hunters btw, were able to prove that men in fact do not 'rule the world' In camp we were there with no electricity, no internet, no TV, no regular telephone, but there was cell phone coverage, the hardest to get away from. I suppose it might be hard for some to understand the "no X" being part of getting away from everything and how that is nice. It was clear from the start that the cell phone system was going to allow wives to call husbands any time they wanted to. You can't tell me that this technology would not have been thrown out the window early on if men ruled the world I'm Still Standing, Yeah, Yeah, Yeah [it's an old guy chant for me] |
