    I hope yours works better than the one here in the US. We're on it for both our home phone and our cell phones but we still get several every week.

    There are loopholes - if you've ever done business with the company then they can call you as a "current customer" for example. There are also shady companies that just ignore it knowing that since there is no easy way to report them they'll probably get away with it. The fines are also small enough that for many it's worth the risk, a couple of successful calls more than pays for the fine for the one person that was able to actually report them.

    My wife does the whole we don't accept solicitations over the phone, please take us off your list spiel. Me, I don't bother to answer if I don't recognize the number and if I forget to look and answer by accident I just hangup as soon as I realize what it is.

    I've been given the impression that it should work OK, but it may take up to three months for all telemarketers to get an updated list of it. I could also get an app that has a list of known telemarketer phone numbers (updated by pissed off people in the 'net), which autoblocks the call...

    Thursday. Hot. Muggy. Horrible traffic. Indigestion all night. Not interested in food this morning. Wanted to stay home but need the money for my vacation. Didn't sleep worth a darn. Rumbling guts.

    Meh. :blank:

    But tomorrow is Friday! :cheese:

    Complaint time: OUCH!! Big full body ouch... nuff said.

    ...So last night I'm hitting the bars deep in the Underdark (I'm a weresquirrel; it's a pretty lame subset of Shapeshifter, but at least I get a free pass in the Underdark) when I spy this Drow nurse unwinding from work with a goblet of mead, sitting off by herself in a corner.
    I stroll up and start a conversation, it turns out her name is Devonna, and I drop your name, Jade. Well, one of her ears starts twitching and she gets this crooked little smile on her face, and asks me how you've been. I told her you were in a lot of pain last I heard. She gets this concerned look on her face, then asks me to take a couple of photos on my cell and send them to you, so here they are.
    Devonna says to call her next time you're in pain (she said you know the number), because she knows how to "make it all better."

Oh well, it's really none of my concern as I'm exiled from the Underdark. I might have a few friends left in the dark realm but I've lived in fear for my life so long I smell yet another trap, brewed up by Lolth no doubt. The lady does look nice I must admit, she is welcome to visit me here in Sunset Keep any time, weapons will be checked at the door.

    I literally told the telemarketer "My cat is vomiting, I gotta go!"

    Edited to add: and about an hour and half later, a different telemarketer calls, refuses to take "no" and tries to make me switch electric companies, and I'm one of those "too polite for their own good" when it comes to hanging up, so I blow an internal fuse once the call is over and finally go and call the automated Do Not Call service to get my phone number put on it.

    I hope yours works better than the one here in the US. We're on it for both our home phone and our cell phones but we still get several every week.

    There are loopholes - if you've ever done business with the company then they can call you as a "current customer" for example.

    ...my solution, I don't have a phone.

    Before all the unlimited talk/text contacts we have today, solicitation calls were a real burn because you paid for the airtime in "minutes" whether you called someone or someone called you. So effectively they were harassing you on your nickel.

    In the "old days" an unlisted number meant just that. The only calls you received were from those given permission to call you, like family members, trusted friends, and your workplace. In these days of computerised call banks it wouldn't be worth the surcharge because eventually by random happenstance your number would come up (meaning probably in minutes to hours).

    Email is somewhat better because of spam filters. No annoying calls when you are cooking dinner, or when you sit down to relax for the evening. I think I get maybe a couple spam mails a month that slip through which I immediately tag and never hear from again.

    It is good to check the spam folder daily though just to make sure that something legit wasn't accidentally routed there.

    The bottom line in all this for me, peace and quiet (and no extra bill to deal with every month) yet I still remain in contact with the rest of the world.

    ...yeah, these are good on PC items. That's usually when I get a PA item or two I want and then load up on PC items to make the minimum limit.

    Bored. Watching big numbers count down to zero to make sure the timer drift is adjusted for so the lights turn off in *exactly* one hour. :blank:

    Ugh, coffee soon and not Daz "soon".

    It's 104 hours to get from Austin to Portland, OR via Amtrak. :bug:

    Greyhound is 41 hours. :-S

    The longest flight I've seen has a 3 hour layover in Seattle, and even then it's just 8 hours. :blank:

    I'd PREFER train or bus, so I can take pics all the way up and back.. but that costs me in lost work days. :down:

    Meh.

    100F at 3:00PM. Lovely.

    How can a train take longer than a bus? I thought they traveled faster. :-S

    More roads than railroads. It may need to do some serious detours.

    It's pretty convoluted. Trains don't go everywhere, and not all lines intersect, and they don't run nearly as often. So, while I change buses 2 times in my above scenario, I only take 2 trains - but they have long stopovers at major cities - and my between-train ride is a bus (lol) which is an 8 hour trip! :bug;

    When I came out here to Austin from California, I took the Texas Eagle - it was a 3-1/2 day trip doe to several "change cars" stopovers and resupply stops. We actually sat ont he side of the track overnight in San Antonio - very odd - but I at least got to get out and party a bit. :coolsmile:

    Also, some track is in bad shape and can't handle high speeds, so the train itself can go fast but the track slows it down. :down: Most Mid-west lines are in poor shape, if I recall. It's a shame. :down:

    Time to clean up my test bench and prep to leave. :)

    104F outside, and I need to shop. I'll get a six of beer to keep the pack cold while I head home - at least it's only a 1/2 hour trip home, or I'd just not bother and send out. :-S

    Tonight - install content and dive back into volume/fog cameras. Fun times! :P
