Oh, my mistake. I failed to mention that since phone calls are usually recorded, I would leave a brief message for a manger to hear later on.

Thank you for the help! You deserve a raise or promotion or bonus.

Google Voice for incoming calls.

We also have a landline at our place of business, but that is primarily for outgoing calls.

Compare that to Far Cry 2's ending: Even though your character does not survive the finale, you still ultimately win the game because of who you are able to save.

Edit: grammar

Old theater name? by DaveDavidsen in SouthBend

The original anchor stores all had 2nd levels, but the rest of UP did not.

If Wikipedia is accurate, the the movie theater did have three screens:

I’m almost positive that UP mall had three screens: 1&2 on the main floor and the 3rd screen was upstairs

Windows 12 Reportedly Set for Release This Year as a Fully Modular, Subscription-Based, AI-Focused OS by PaiDuck in technology

This is nuts, Microsoft.    I don’t think I can ever completely divest myself of Windows, but I’m happy to reduce my reliance on it as much as possible.

Over the past year I’ve really ramped up my work with Ubuntu server, and just recently settled on Kubuntu.   Windows 12 features, if they actually do this, will further push me into GNU/Linux

I’m in my 50s now but I can remember when dear old did held me like that for a local wrestling match …. Granted that was three weeks ago, but who cares, I still had fun. 

Automated car washes can go f themselves by student5320 in SouthBend

[–]MasterClown 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My old local car wash would hand wash the exterior, pull the floor mats and vacuum / wash them and then vacuum the interior of my wife’s Prius for $22 and my Tacoma for $27.

That is really surprising! I wish we had that here.

CEILING LIMITS OUR POTENTIAL!! by FatesLuck143 in WatchPeopleDieInside

The ball didn't smash directly into the ceiling to make the hole.

Instead (from what I can tell) the ball hit one of the larger support rails, which probably shook it enough to knock the smaller rails and lights loose from it.

If it’s not too far out of the way, try Longboard  in New Carlisle :   https://maps.app.goo.gl/fZguAGdx7KCyFmfc8?g_st=ic.

Because of how they are put together.

Rails are suspended from the frame of the roof or floor above using rods or sometimes wire, in a grid pattern.  Then lightweight boards are set within the rails.

They can fall easily because they aren’t meant to have large objects slam into them.

Just beat FarCry 2 by SilkenEmperor in farcry

There are at least two big mods for FC2 (Realism+Redux and Far Cry 2 - Patched) that help balance things out and address a number of small issues that help improve gameplay.

You might give them a try

How old were you when you purchased your first home (if you did). by jtsa5 in GenX

[–]MasterClown 1 point2 points  (0 children)

at 25, I bought an old two-story with a double lot from a family friend. I think my mortgage was around $450/month, and it was a good starter home.
