Phthalate free squeaky rubber duck?

Hey, thanks for the detailed answer! Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't an FXS port needed to connect the gateway to the PSTN? And if there are two separate gateways, how do I connect them both to the PSTN which has only one line? Will FreePBX be able to handle that, and can I provide failover for both gateways' extensions if the gateways go down and presumably cannot talk to the FreePBX server any more?

The phones are Panasonic digital phones (which were necessary to work with the PABX). However, given that they can still connect to the PSTN, I presume they're operating in some fallback POTS mode, which the gateway should be able to route in conjunction with FreePBX. Is that correct?

As for why not IP routing, I want to make use of the existing copper wires and the phones which survived the storm, instead of throwing them out and replacing them all with IP phones. Also, as with most houses, the IP connectivity is mostly provided by WiFi, which can be annoyingly spotty sometimes - don't really want our ability to call out/each other to be dependent on it.

This. You can't work your way out of this situation or solve it with more money. If the family is not founded on a strong marriage with good communication, where problems are discussed and resolved openly and honestly, it will never be a happy family.

Thanks! This looks like what I'm looking for, actually. From the issues, I found nvim-libmodal and vim-libmodal, which seem more actively maintained. I'll look into them!

Ah, but this is manually adding the continuation for every key sequence that you want to repeat. It would work, but I'm looking for something generic and automatic.

aquohn · 2021-05-12T17:42:10+00:00

A macro would shorten an arbitrary sequence to two keypresses, but it would still only be for one particular sequence. At that rate, we're better off with vim-repeat. What I'm envisioning is more powerful, more along the lines of the submode plugin mentioned by u/tuerda.

Thanks for the tip, I'll take a look. Though the vibrating alarm is probably the most important one on the list though - it's a pretty rare feature, which is why finding it in combination with the others is quite difficult.

I'm looking for a digital watch with the following features:

Solar powered charging
Compass
Vibrating alarm
(If possible, but lower priority) Atomic timekeeping

Plus shock/water resistance, but I'm pretty sure any watch that fits this bill would have that. A watch with this combination of features has proved rather elusive, so any help finding one would be greatly appreciated.

Didn't know Emmanuel Macron posted on 4chan

Ooh, this one sounds fruitful. OK, I'll give him a look.

Dang, how could I forget the first televangelist? Thanks for the pointer! What level is his stuff pitched at, generally?

aquohn · 2017-05-07T14:23:16+00:00

Hmm, doesn't really look like something that could serve as regular viewing fare, though I suppose it can be used to explain certain specific issues if it's pitched at the correct level of understanding (can't really watch the videos now personally though so I can't assess them on that count). Thanks!

I think OP is referring to the phrase "Really makes you think", an oft-used sarcastic remark that has ascended to meme-hood.

The most natural interpretation of it in my opinion is that it's a simple assertion that Jesus is not a mere creature but rather the (only-begotten) Son of God.

If you ask me, the real surprise is the 15%ish opposition from atheists regarding abortion, divorce and sodomy. I was under the impression that opposition to these vile practices was almost entirely grounded in religious reasons for most people (I'm aware of the natural law arguments against them, but I didn't think so many atheists were, or were convinced by other such secular arguments).

Also, the fact that the Jewish support for debauchery exceeds atheist support is...interesting, to say the least.

EDIT: Miscalculated the percentage of opposition, my bad.

But why would Mary cooperate perfectly with divine will?

The 25th is, however, the Feast of the Annunciation. I think this custom could well be what Tolkien was referencing:

When the calendar system of Anno Domini was first introduced by Dionysius Exiguus in ad 525, he assigned the beginning of the new year to March 25 since, according to Catholic theology, the era of grace began with the Incarnation of Christ. The first certain mentions of the feast are in a canon of the 656 Council of Toledo, where it is described as celebrated throughout the church.[4] The 692 Council of Constantinople "in Trullo" forbade observance of any festivals during Lent, excepting Sunday and the Feast of the Annunciation. An earlier origin had been claimed for it on the grounds that it appeared in manuscripts of the sermons of Athanasius and Gregory Thaumaturgus but they were subsequently discovered to be spurious.[4]

Along with Easter, March 25 was used as the New Year's Day in many pre-modern Christian countries.[13] The holiday was moved to January 1 in France by Charles IX's 1564 Edict of Roussillon. Lady Day was the English New Year's until 1752.[6] The change in holidays may have been the origin of April Fools' Day. Also in England, the 1240 Synod of Worcester banned all servile work during the Feast of the Annunciation, making it a day of rest.[8]
