Yeah, it’s a feature dubbed “queued callback”. Saves your place, it’s a pretty common request. Customers like Delta, Intuit, Pacific Life, Citibank, Dyson, all use the platform I build (Amazon Connect) and do stuff like that.
Problem is, no one answers a call from an unknown number these days. Some phones are getting smart enough to recognize the number and show that it’s a business, though that’s more anecdotal evidence from my personal device (Pixel Fold with Google Fi carrier).
I sell and build call centers for a living.
Yeah, it’s fake lol. I mean maybe for some businesses it isn’t fake, but usually clients would ask us to make it where “if there’s more than X calls in queue, play the message”. Turns out, there’s always more than X calls in queue. It’s not actually looking at the average.
It’s kinda weird, some things are just always like that, some things clients want to add in because the average user expects it.
Someone wanted a repeat caller to get bumped to the front of the queue. Literally encouraging the “if I hang up and call back I’ll get there sooner” people. Awful.
Thank you. Certainly sounds like more research needs to take place, but this is awesome and will hopefully encourage more studies.
I also thought it was interesting that discrepancies between trans and cisgender women in strength could be attributed to trans women being forced to use men’s training facilities, equipment and resources, which get more funding and are better equipped. It’s amazing what you learn when you control certain variables.
This is incredible work. I have one question that confused me, the article says that trans and cisgender women have the same bone density, which is linked to muscle strength. Then it says that bone density “is not indicative of athletic prowess”.
If bone density and muscle strength are positively correlated, then it should be an indication of athleticism, no? Do I have a misunderstanding of what they consider “athletic prowess”?
Tulsa native here. I never learned about it in school, even in the early '00s. I was a grown ass adult before I really learned about it and everything that happened. Notably, it was always called the “Tulsa Race Riots” to downplay the atrocities. The street in Greenwood was renamed to Reconciliation Way.
In my memory, that district never had anything going for it until recently, nobody cared. It’s been awesome to see it start to flourish. (I am not a lawyer) I really hope something can be done for the plaintiffs here, if it doesn’t fit the public nuisance law, surely there is something for the people directly affected by the events?
A lovely lady behind the Wendy’s
Scrolled through a ton of comments but honestly this sums it all up for me. Lemmy isn’t large enough to support niche memes and content.
Amateur move! Gotta be careful around hot sausage splooge.
You should really talk to HR. If you’re super duper non-confrontational, I see maybe two other options:
Chastise Ann for not having your back. Make her tell Ned to stop being a creep
Talk to Ned’s boss informally and say Ned has made uncomfortable comments/advances.
People attacked him for his character, that he couldn’t be president for this. And I agree, those in high office must be held to the highest standard.
But my god, where are we now??
I had to look this up, didn’t know about Bowie. He had underage groupies, at least as young as 15 (Lori Mattix). Apparently she remembers that time fondly, but today we would rightly call it coercion and pedophilia. She was treated kindly, probably given all the drugs she “wanted”, but that’s still a child.
There’s a counter argument about how later in life, he refused a kissing scene between him and Jennifer Connelly during Labyrinthe, and that shows he understands the age gap is wrong.
I don’t regularly listen to David Bowie. I can sometimes separate the art from artist, but I’m now gonna have trouble knowing he was having sex with (raping) a 15 year old girl.
Eric Clapton is super racist, John Lennon abandoned his kid.
As a counterpoint, I like it in video games for the same irl reason: it saves time.
I do love games where it feels alive when traveling on foot/horse/etc. but I would rather fast travel if I’ve already explored it, generally speaking.
It might depend on the school district, but my family has worked for 3 different ones across a couple states, and they would not get paid monthly or anything over the summer. First check for them would come in September even, and we start school in mid to late August around here.
IIRC they would get a larger sum at the end of the school year to hold them over til the fall. I vaguely recall my step mom talking about how every year there would be a teacher who budgets poorly and forgets the first paycheck isn’t until September.
2 days off during the school year is insane, but teachers don’t really work during summer vacation. If the school picks a new book for their class then there’s work. They’re really just required to show up a couple weeks before school starts, at least in my state.
My step mom and her whole family were teachers (5 total). Ranging from kindergarten to high school. I don’t think any of them had as little as 2 days off allowed per school year, but I imagine some districts could be that shitty.
Might be worth noting, most of Enid’s money comes from a Koch plant there, one of the largest in the country.
Enid’s politics and people are definitely influenced by the Koch’s.
I’m from Oklahoma, and Enid is definitely a small, backwoods town that has nothing but a Koch plant.
Trump won that county in 2020 with 77% of the vote.

That’s a good point, a lot of people are still on old Avaya or Cisco systems and it was expensive to do that. A lot of cloud providers now don’t charge anything for it.
