Hemlock comes to mind, as with or without your proffered grain of salt, it can be eaten but is definitely not edible. Those defs are posted in a non-pedantic way above, incidentally.
Also, thanks for the chance to use the word 'proffered' in conversation, it's vanishingly rarely used outside the legal field.
It's stupid af.... Unless you have responsibly charged your phone through your multi-day backwoods hike and it saves your ass.
Wouldn't suggest it as a frontline defense, of course, but... I can see a use case that saves a life, or at least a limb.
Long term, that's a decent idea - Mastodon and related platforms generally have a function similar to that, and it saves me scripting "Retrieve post, edit post, replace with '.'"
Haven't seen it in a minute, but it definitely used to exist.
I would 100% both use and pay for it - forces me to put a bit more thought into phone trees, making me less likely to get lost in them.
I'm marginally curious, can you give a high level example of the industry? Meritocracy is rare, anymore.
People suck. Alot. And they lie. Worth a commercial insurance policy and an extra client a month to cover the cost.
Why? Insurance company has a "duty to defend" against claims. Their check, your lawyer in all the usual senses.
Hand-curated categories -> lists etc.
Think back to what Yahoo originally was. Drill down through categories, subcats, etc. to find what you're looking for.
Worked for the time, but for a technical query today would be an absolute non-starter
I'll go one farther - unless it's my doc, my wife, or my boss, I'm neither answering the call nor listening to the voicemail. That's what easily skimmable voicemail transcription is for...
I don't love the privacy implications of transcribed voicemail, ofc, but it's better for my own privacy/threat model than answering the phone to robots, scammers, and etc. It's also a hell of a lot better for my mental health, vs listening to them.
