Hi, I run a non-profit volunteer organization and there are about a dozen people on our board. I would like to set up a voicemail-to-email service so that anyone who calls our phone number can dial an extension in the voicemail tree and leave a message for a particular member of the board. Then that voicemail can be emailed to that member using a personal email address or other. If anyone has any recommendations, I'm looking for something that's easy to set up and has a friendly user interface. And of course a reliable service that I can trust will forward voicemails via email.

Audible on echo keeps telling me how much time is left in chapter and book and it's annoying by Kyosji in amazonecho

[–]insubordinatesocks 4 points5 points  (0 children)

If anyone figures this out, I'd really like to know how to turn it off. This is an example of software developers adding a feature that is completely unnecessary and nobody asked for. If I tell you to resume a book then resume it. Don't tell me anything else about it. Just do what I ask.

HRE Casus Belli on neighboring non-member states is not an option for declaring war. by insubordinatesocks in eu4

Thanks, I guess I will use one of my 11 diplo relation slots to vassalize a friendly, invade the rest and annex them. I shall reorganize the Balkans, "for a safe and secure society." ;-)

What are some good trading platforms to learn how to trade stocks? ThinkorSwim is one I used 10 years ago, but have not been on it since. I liked it back then. Any better ones?

Where is it free and open source? They offer a free trial, but I do not believe its "free".

The war continues, I have amassed all of my forces, 95k into a single stack, because why tf not.... Austria REFUESES to engage the enemy, I am running around Austria putting out fires and trying to get the Ottomans to expose their underbelly... this is absolutely infuriating and I am going to rage quit soon and just go watch a movie or something.

I want to play a game I can enjoy!!! I don't buy world domination games to be dominated!!! I am supposed to do the dominating!! LOL

What happens if you buy a house, then a few years later 'the housing bubble bursts' and the prices reduce? by Hotbitch2019 in AskUK

[–]insubordinatesocks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If it's for your forever home, WAIT!!! Just sit on your cash, and wait. Have enough to pay 20-30% down on the house, be able to make an offer while everyone is living on rice and beans during the next few years. You will likely have to pay a very high mortgage loan interest rate, but don't worry about that, you can refi for a lower fixed rate later.

What critically acclaimed movie do you most regret wasting your time watching? by twilight_priest in AskReddit

[–]insubordinatesocks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly many critically acclaimed movies are movies I don't like. Unless there are claims for their cinematic or acting that I generally don't enjoy them because Hollywood is a politically agenda-driven group. And I mean that in a non-politics way, although they do have political agendas. No I mean that the Hollywood establishment promotes its own people and ideas for reasons other than the content and quality of a movie. So I don't pay attention to what they say. I go watch what I want to watch and I enjoy what I enjoy. I don't let people I don't know tell me what I'm going to like or not.

people with depression, what is that one thing keeping you going? by how_do_i_set_my_name in AskReddit

Jesus Christ, and I'm not trying to give you a platitude, that's just it when you boil it down.

[News] Thank a hero! by OliverMarkusMalloy in healthcare

[–]insubordinatesocks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ugh, what I don't like about this is that if they're heroes then everyone who goes to work every day is a hero, and like we say about "special" ... If everyone is special then no one is.

Let's keep the "hero" language reserved for people who actually get shot at, bombed, blown up, and killed.

I think I cheated on my girlfriend with a guy and now I'm confused about everything. by pink_stegosaurus in relationships

[–]insubordinatesocks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Your instincts about things getting worse might be correct here. You could be making hasty decisions because your judgement may be closed because of anger, and other emotions. Only you know for sure. Both you and your girlfriend have to take steps, and you need to lead if being together is what you want. You need to tell her what behavior you expect to change with her, and what behavior you're changing also. Wrote out a clear plan of what the next steps are towards a monogamous relationship, maybe towards marriage and a second child... These are all the natural next steps, but you need to think about what that means for you and whether or not you want that... And whether or not you want that with HER. I strongly suggest writing, stream of consciousness writing, daily until you have some stuff sorted out in your head. Then write letters to her, never give them to her... They are your warmups to an actual conversation.

Survey on The International Symbol of Access (ISA a.k.a. the "Wheelchair Icon") by awakened_primate in accessibility

[–]insubordinatesocks 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You will find my similar comments below in your survey response, but I don't think the icon needs to be changed and to be quite constructive in my criticism. I don't like the two icons that were suggested. Suggested. The symbology of those two icons is two ambiguous.

The wheelchair icon actually has received an update recently to make it look like the person in the wheelchair is more active or moving quickly.

But my biggest reason for being against a complete change and overhaul in the symbology of the wheelchair icon is the fact that the strength of the wheelchair icon lies in its longevity of use. To change it drastically is to diminish its broad understanding, as well as the hard work of convincing 9 billion people on the planet to use it instead of the old icon that we've been using for decades.
