  • It's supposed to represent Ben Kenobi from the original star wars I think. Or more generally, a wizard-y sage robe.

    Edit: it's also just a meme, with its own understood meaning.

  • There's a studio called SoundBooth Theater that does whole ass performances.

    Currently listening to Dungeon Crawler Carl, by Matt Dinniman, narrated by Jeff Hayes. And it's awesome. He does the scoffs, laughs, sings in character voices, has crazy sound effects and music, etc.

  • Honestly same. I saw that lemm.ee was the second largest and had an active admin, felt like I would dip my toes in and I would change if needed.

    Never needed to, stuff like this gives me confidence in the platform.

  • Yeah, it's a feature dubbed "queued callback". Saves your place, it's a pretty common request. Customers like Delta, Intuit, Pacific Life, Citibank, Dyson, all use the platform I build (Amazon Connect) and do stuff like that.

    Problem is, no one answers a call from an unknown number these days. Some phones are getting smart enough to recognize the number and show that it's a business, though that's more anecdotal evidence from my personal device (Pixel Fold with Google Fi carrier).

  • I sell and build call centers for a living.

    Yeah, it's fake lol. I mean maybe for some businesses it isn't fake, but usually clients would ask us to make it where "if there's more than X calls in queue, play the message". Turns out, there's always more than X calls in queue. It's not actually looking at the average.

    It's kinda weird, some things are just always like that, some things clients want to add in because the average user expects it.

    Someone wanted a repeat caller to get bumped to the front of the queue. Literally encouraging the "if I hang up and call back I'll get there sooner" people. Awful.

  • Thank you. Certainly sounds like more research needs to take place, but this is awesome and will hopefully encourage more studies.

    I also thought it was interesting that discrepancies between trans and cisgender women in strength could be attributed to trans women being forced to use men's training facilities, equipment and resources, which get more funding and are better equipped. It's amazing what you learn when you control certain variables.

  • This is incredible work. I have one question that confused me, the article says that trans and cisgender women have the same bone density, which is linked to muscle strength. Then it says that bone density "is not indicative of athletic prowess".

    If bone density and muscle strength are positively correlated, then it should be an indication of athleticism, no? Do I have a misunderstanding of what they consider "athletic prowess"?

  • Tulsa native here. I never learned about it in school, even in the early '00s. I was a grown ass adult before I really learned about it and everything that happened. Notably, it was always called the "Tulsa Race Riots" to downplay the atrocities. The street in Greenwood was renamed to Reconciliation Way.

    In my memory, that district never had anything going for it until recently, nobody cared. It's been awesome to see it start to flourish. (I am not a lawyer) I really hope something can be done for the plaintiffs here, if it doesn't fit the public nuisance law, surely there is something for the people directly affected by the events?
