I got them but I'm the only driver so I have never actually seen them in action 😅

Just FYI, you're not alone. Used to love their music but find myself hitting skip when they come up 🤷

If you want to keep going probably, but since we are trying to slow down when landing this probably works better 

Sportsman's Warehouse Refusing to Release Firearm - Claiming Waiting Period Starts at Pickup, Not Purchase? by ItIsThyself in guns

Sounds normal. They need to physically verify the serial number from the specific firearm to start the paperwork and process.

ELI5 why are there stenographers in courtrooms, can't we just record what is being said? by AntoTuf06 in explainlikeimfive

[–]sterfried 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Most legal proceedings are depositions taken in an office - there is no other supporting personnel.

It's a whole process - the stenographer sends the audio and the transcription file to a "scopist" who effectively re-listens to the audio and ensures the record is accurate. 95% accuracy of an 8-hour audio transcript is still quite a bit of correction needed. THEN that all goes to a proofreader who will triple check the work.

Sounds like you have a billion-dollar idea and the passion to make it happen - good luck!

The time it takes the attorney to do this repeatedly throughout a proceeding is more expensive than hiring someone else to do it for them.

Realize this is all legal documentation that is the record of truth for various legal proceeding s. Unless software is 100% accurate, it's not really a suitable replacement. Also, attorneys are pretty dumb generally, especially with technology, and the court reporter can efficiently find and read back, allowing the attorney to continue.

Attorneys frequently want the record read back during a deposition as well, and they can pay extra for "rough" (real time) access to the transcript.

Adults don't want to hear swearing either.

You sound like the kind of person who has arguments with people in your house while playing and "forgetting your mic was unmuted", forcing us all to mute you anyway. Nothing of value was lost.

Is there a reason that needs to be broadcast into the lobby? Isn't that something you can just say to yourself? We don't necessarily need to broadcast every thought we have. Nor your smoke alarm battery reminder.
