Some people aren’t picky at all in my experience. Like my cousin Jack. He’s always ready for a meal and doesn’t care what it is as long and someone else is buying/cooking!

I agree and for my kids that is the rule.

One of my kid’s schools had a wild debate about this for their yearly charity “Readathon.” The kids get sponsors to sign up to pledge the amount of money they will donate for each book the kid reads during the readathon. Parents are expected to sign off that their kid really did the reading for all the books they put on their sheet. Other than that its on the honor system. They’ve been doing it for 60+ years.

The kids don’t get any prizes but they do get certificates of recognition for various levels of achievement. It came up this year, that some parents count audiobooks and others don’t. They have been doing it like this for ome years now but it was never discussed before. The rules don’t say anything about audiobooks but they were written back when audiobooks weren’t common.

We had some seriously intense discussions in the Parents Charter (the name for our PTA) and lots of people have strong feelings about this! In the end the agreement was that transparency is best so the form has been updated with one side for audiobooks and one side for books. For purpose of donation they are counted the same.

They use a device called a Perry Gordan Measurement Device. Named after the two people who invented it. It looks a little like a bowling bag with a fleshlight stuck in it. A volunteer is provided with the erotic material of their choosing to help them achieve erect state and then the subject inserts themself into the fleshlight part and until they ejaculate within the machine. At which point sensitive photo voltaics and micro lasers are used to measure the speed with military accuracy. Or not. Cheers!

So ideally a handset device capable of recieving and making calls to a limited number of devices.

When you say a “limited number of devices” do you mean a closed system when you have provisioned all the devices or do you mean you also need to be able to receive calls from standard phones?

To replace a landline you can just use a service like Vonage Home for about $10/month. If you want to setup your own PBX (phone system) for calling your own managed set of devices, then you need more. In any case, you always need a SIP service if you want to make and receive calls with regular phone numbers.

What are your goals here? What are you trying to accomplish?

I have six and I’m not taking any more, sorry pal!

Are you asking why breaking the rules on a site gets you banned?

As this question appears to be based on The Big Lebowski (great movie!) you’ll have to ask the writers if you want to know.

You convinced me I’m switching!

I love these nice cleanly formatted posts. Do you use a template or something?

Sales people say anything to close the deal. They don’t care.

What’s your threat model?

Identify a skill that is in demand and find a way to learn it. That’s the only secret to having an income.

It seems like you rather answer the question than ask it. Have you considered starting a blog?

How am I not following my own advice?

How about you do you and I do me?

Well I don’t know what to tell you friend. I’m as bathed in the blood as they come and this has not been my experience. Consider Proverbs 11:27

“Whoever seeks good finds favor, but evil comes to one who searches for it.”

The Bible doesn’t say and there is no consensus among Biblical scholars about what the sins of Sodom and Gomorrah were. Some believe it was simply arrogance and inhospitality.
