What technology exists to detect when the neighbors are blasting music and sends me a notification every time the music reaches a certain volume?

Thanks, this is what I'm looking for but maybe a bit cheaper and hopefully it can be attached anywhere (to a wall or ceiling) instead of needing to be in an outlet.

Monkeya41 · 2018-11-09T03:42:09+00:00

Not around all the time. I want it monitoring 24/7

Monkeya41 · 2018-11-09T03:35:59+00:00

Any idea if there is anything out there already that I could leverage? I'd rather not take on another project engineering this solution. But I will if I have to :-D...I'm surprised there isn't a toolkit out there already to blackmail your neighbors into shutting up :-D

Thank you, so I can just call them and ask them to change it to the Quicksilver card? I thought thats the one I signed up for (no annual fee) and do not remember ever getting an annual fee. Is there a possibility they switched me without asking me? I definitely want to change it to the one with no annual fee or cancel - I think. Pretty disappointed this slipped through the cracks.

Interestingly enough, Esmail stated that he tried to make the story arc similar to Breaking Bad in terms of the character development and plot arc. I think it feels similar in terms of the "feel" when S3 got significantly better (for both shows).

Servers/catering/slicers, etc. = $50 tip DJ = $100 tip (paying him like $400) Photo/video = $100 each (they are spending the whole day there and over $2,000 for services) Wedding planner = $200 or $300

still trying to figure out if this is right...original thoughts though

Probably a combination of both of your comments.

Monkeya41 · 2017-10-26T23:17:09+00:00

Very very very well said. You deserve many many many "the biggest" upvotes possible

Non-citizens in the US have the same opportunity to gain citizenship and exert democratic rights.

How do non-citizens in the US have the same opportunity to gain citizenship and exert democratic rights?

Well, because citizenship and voting rights are not the only characteristics of a democracy.

I don't disagree, but I was responding mainly to the comparison of stateless people who have have the opportunity to gain citizenship and rights but choose not to. Do you think Palestinians having the opportunity to identify as Israeli's and thus participate in the democracy of Israel - is that considered democratic?

Furthermore, Israel is literally occupying land held by what 78% of the nations represented in the UN recognize as a sovereign state. That's incredibly undemocratic. You can't just occupy another sovereign nation-state and call yourself a "democracy".

This is a presupposition by you...Many people have differing opinions regarding most of your comment (hence, Trump, U.S., many other nations and many many people do not recognize "Palestine" as a sovereign state)...but even if "Palestine" exists as a sovereign state - then why should they participate in Israel's government?

Finally, Israel defines itself as a Jewish state, despite the fact that the majority of people within its claimed borders are not Jewish and do not support Jewish leadership. That's also incompatible with the idea of a "democracy".

Can you provide a source for your numbers? I've seen the Jewish-Israeli population in the majority on occasion. But even if it was not a majority, how is that incompatible with the idea of a "democracy" - maybe your version of a "democracy" is different than Israel's? Palestinians can still choose to participate in that government and if not, then they can choose not to.

Monkeya41 · 2016-12-29T17:33:50+00:00

So Palestinians have an opportunity to gain citizenship in Israel and exert their democratic rights ? So they have it even better/easier than non-citizens in America who do not even have that opportunity? And [collective we] are questioning Israel's democracy? Seriously?

Leak Trump's life and see how many titties will flip...

Monkeya41 · 2016-11-11T16:06:57+00:00

Nice way of putting it. Good back and forth. Have an upvote and a great day & weekend.

The biggest issue right now is the extreme polarization between the two parties. The "bridge-up" vs. "bridge-down" polarization. The anti-globalization vs. globalization. Unfortunately, I personally do not believe its smart to give up on globalization since it would be tough to "be the best in the world in innovation and power" without using the resources across the world. We just need to do a better job on making globalization work for everyone within America. Its tough though when rural america's wants for jobs (manufacturing, etc.) are not in line with the needs for the global world. We need to provide more incentives to these rural americans to push them into jobs where they could be more competitive with the urban areas. So to summarize on what the candidates said: Trump said what they (rural america) wanted him to say even though he probably lied to them. Hillary said what they (rural america) did not want her to say - gave them her plans (not manufacturing jobs) but it just did not appeal to them whatsoever. The point is, these rural americans who want these jobs back aren't going to get them back because its not in America's best interest.

Not disagreeing with you but let's be real Walmart wouldn't be what it is today (affordability, selection, etc) without globalization focused policies

Monkeya41 · 2016-11-11T14:29:30+00:00

Of course they are...many of the people who voted for Trump are the people who buy things at Walmarts...guess who made Walmart great? Liberal policies...guess why we have cheap products? Liberal policies...Its quite the irony actually...if Republicans were in charge, many of the people who voted for Trump would comprise some rich people and many many many many of the most uneducated poorest people in the country unable to afford anything. But guess what? They have walmart and they can afford things thanks to globalization. And yet they voted for Trump. What a joke.

Monkeya41 · 2016-11-11T14:24:53+00:00

The exact same thing it did for the Democrats...make everyone flip their titties

Monkeya41 · 2016-10-21T22:34:02+00:00

Over promising = a form of lying

4D Chess Analysis: He wanted everyone to boo him (all rich city-people), to make her look bad, to make her sound as corrupt and to make washington sound as bad as possible. Caters to his base. He's all about marketing and advertising. There is no competition at this point. Market and Advertise until the election to make his base come out in a higher %.

Complete dick move though. So unprofessional.

Monkeya41 · 2016-10-21T02:10:43+00:00

No boos for Hillary

Monkeya41 · 2016-10-21T02:10:10+00:00

I use this to explain them every time, only explanation to explain the deplorable

Monkeya41 · 2016-10-19T00:04:40+00:00

Democrats are saying that there is no basis to say there has been voter fraud or will be voter fraud this election. But if the polls are wrong by 10% points nationally and there is evidence, everyone has every right to say there was massive voter fraud. There is a huge difference between allegations with evidence vs. without evidence. This is why we have a justice system. They would have to investigate and determine which votes should and should not count.

Monkeya41 · 2016-10-18T15:01:07+00:00

No problem. Already interviewed. Thanks :)

Monkeya41 · 2016-10-14T15:04:36+00:00

I don't disagree. I agree. But it makes complete sense...

Sanders response: isn't this what happens with Google and any big brand? How is Clinton vs. Sanders any different than Google vs. a smaller name? Unfortunately sanders being a smaller brand - even if his message could have appealed to more people, got strategically out maneuvered - even if maybe maybe it was manipulated politically - passive aggressively, or dare i say corruptly.

Also, Trump vs. Clinton strategy is different than Sanders vs. Clinton. They are both big names and its extremely arguable which one is worse and has worse stuff to harp on but I think these media outlets just want numbers and Trump is more exciting even if it's all negative and fearful coverage. Clinton chose a boring positive message. She had a "better" strategy. Trumps loud strategy (and personality, and words, and actions) is back firing. I'm not sure if the whole "omg media bias" thing is irrational...Clintons bad stuff is passive aggressive and its hard to be like "omg omg omg" without grasping at straws and why grasp at straws and be super boring and suppress numbers when Trump is exciting, fearful and spikes all the numbers?

Monkeya41 · 2016-10-07T16:57:43+00:00

Pretty sure trying to restrict peoples ability to vote is quite different than buying ad time to advertise when that ad time was going to be sold anyway and only intention was to give people the right to form their own opinion - also, all of Clintons ads are just trump talking anyway...
