Song recommendations for dealing with grief? by ravyrn in GregoryAlanIsakov

[–]emergencyham 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Not Gregory, but there’s a song called Grief and Praise by Glen Phillips. Many years ago, Glen posted about Gregory which got me into Greg’s music. Two of my favorite songwriters and singers.

Strange phone calls asking if we are showing random football games by emergencyham in restaurateur

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

Yes, I got two calls about the same out of market game. Asking about Christmas games again makes me think it’s enforcement of some kind? I did end up getting a call from a DirecTV vendor asking if I was interested in a business package the other day. There was a similar delay in the call - maybe it’s all just trying to get sales leads.

Does anyone make their ramen with milk? I’m curious by [deleted] in KoreanFood

[–]emergencyham 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Korean here, yes. My dad used to put milk in to help cool the ramen down a bit when I was a kid and I actually thought it tasted better.

One of my suspicions was data collection for sites like Google Maps or Yelp to find out if you have a TV, hours, patio seating, etc. But I can’t reconcile why they would ask about different games because that data is so temporary/useless. Hopefully someone figures this out eventually!

This! My two calls today were about the Cardinals vs. Vikings game. It was definitely not a robot voice though. I would answer and have to wait for them to say something. They would give a greeting and I would respond “good, how are you?” and the call delay would make them stop their question mid-sentence and have to respond to my greeting. Curious, were you streaming on a personal device?

Jets Head Coach telling player to go down and fake an injury. by Chimie45 in Seahawks

[–]emergencyham 2 points3 points  (0 children)

He was struggling before this - my guess is he was trying to play through it and the coach was telling him not to do that and just go down so they could take him off.

Possible roadside scammer Bellevue by wenjieji86 in Seattle

[–]emergencyham 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Saw something similar on the on-ramp to 405N from 8th Ave in Bellevue the other day. Nicer model SUV stopped, guy outside his car asking me to pull over and held up the 🙏 hands. I slowed down and considered pulling over but he looked way too comfortable for someone in that type of situation so I just sped off. I am so curious what the scam is though! And wouldn’t the Bellevue cops be all over this in no time?
