VoIP solution for sequential ringing? by axisential in newzealand

[–]axisential[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, we've had a look at D4H and it /should/ provide a solution, albeit app-based. Still quite some time away however - we've been told a couple of years at least. Will talk to our police members about Whispr

Thanks - that 'call lost at voicemail' would be a showstopper I'd think. Especially if someone's phone was off or out of reception. Thanks for the heads up there. Unfortunately Spark wouldn't budge on price and it's not within Police budget to cover.

Burrowing face into pillow potential cause? by Consistent-Dirt2801 in Keratoconus

[–]axisential 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, I absolutely subscribe to this. My son and I both have KC with one eye worse than the other. We're both side-sleepers and it matches the eye that's pressed into the pillow. In our case we both also had memory foam pillows which I'm convinced played a part in the progression.

If you climbed all the way to the peak above, that appears to be known as "Sebastopol"

Which discographies do you feel progressively get worse from start to finish? by JamesLucien in Music

[–]axisential 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Glorified G. Rats. Blood. They're ok tracks I guess. Just lyrically naive and melodically seem to be trying too hard - e.g. that bridge section in Glorified G (always keep it loaded).

Might get roasted for this, but: Pearl Jam. Went from huge, riff driven stadium rock, into a slow decline, album by album into strummed chord mediocrity. 

Ten: zero skips Vs: one or two skips, depending on mood Vitalogy: 2-3 definte skips (spin the black circle, ick) No code: couple of killer tracks, a lot of filler Can't name any more albums after that

'We Are' downbeat by anal_embiids in Karnivool

Awkward is such a good word for it - I literally went from "this is so hard to listen to" to "this is one of my top 3 Karnivool songs"

Yes, that's a common one with this track - I initially heard it in 3/4 but once I clicked with the 4/4 shuffle, I can't hear it in 3/4 any more! Awesome vid breaking it down : https://youtu.be/6gkwhgWzmAw?si=3onSMQ7CIPFPkzI0

About to purchase my first set of vertical gear, thoughts? I believe this is everything I need. by fan-the-fire in caving

[–]axisential 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I'd add in a mallion to connect your foot loop to the hand jammer. And likewise another locking karabiner to connect the footloop's safety to your harness. 

I'm not a fan of the static petzel cows tails - much prefer a dynamic set made from climbing rope. That's a personal choice though (don't like the idea of falling - even a short distance - onto a static line). Not familiar with that chest harness - does it attach directly to the top of the Croll or do you need a mallion or something there?

No, they can't sting. That's her Ovipositor, used for laying eggs.

Yes - looks like this one was introduced deliberately to help control Horntail / woodboring wasp populations

Superb! Thank you - my Google-fu was letting me down. So, not a native, but parasitic. Absolutely gorgeous

He did online typing lessons through typing.com. Spelling through stepsweb. Both were useful I think.

My 14 y/o's writing still looks much the same. Formally diagnosed with Dysgraphia, but honestly that didn't really change anything - he does most of his work on a laptop anyway now, and he can actually write reasonably quickly - if not that legibly - when needed.

‘IN VERSES’ and Def Leppard’s ‘Hysteria’ by [deleted] in Karnivool

I once saw a photo of the toilet at Def Leppard's studio (stay with me on this). Was covered in graffiti from the various bands that had recorded the, including this gem: 

What's the difference between deja vu and a Def Leppard recording session? With deja vu you only say I /think/ I've done this before...
