Secret sauce is source control. You can get a matrix switcher and come up with your own controls but smart remotes like URC and Control4 are way more expensive and IMO are less reliable.
Surround speakers need a priority switch if you want matching amp profiles in the home theatre.
I have in ceiling speakers each pair connecting to a sonos amp. Outdoors, in garage, etc. It’s great - for me. I have Play:1s in bathrooms without mics and it can all sync.
Guests can also control it via phone.
What pisses me off:
- Lack of auto firmware updates at night
- Latency with external sources unless you use a sound bar, maybe fixed with port? The connect sucked
You can’t even really get genuine warranty claims addressed. There’s always a catch: labor not included, part in order, no fridge for 4 days until tech can return.
Politics is theatre, I don’t think anything ever gets done. It just gives people a forum to complain and they can feel like they’re making a difference.
Although this appears to be something local so there’s a chance it’s not entirely useless.
I also used 555-1212 etc but I used to shop at Harris Teeter and they flagged me. They knew who I was even when paying cash. I would get them to use the store card on occasion but they were strict and it was at manager discretion.
To sign up for their crappy card they copied your ID, something I’m not ok with.
literally all of them? I guess we can pretend that Applicant Tracking Systems (ATS) that scrape resumes for keyword matches aren't some specific definition of "AI" if we want to be naive though
A custodian can hold the records, but they still have to have all of the required records at the moment you sell any depiction if you don't want to commit a federal felony, and if your depictions are created live in real-time, that's going to be quite challenging to do offline.
Bars in places you least expect them can feel like an oasis. I recently discovered many Nordstrom’s have bars, with rather tasty cocktails. I’m happy to oblige the occasional shopping trip now.
I was walking with my wife in the mall today and she said "Does Nordstrom have a restaurant in it?" I looked up, and ahove the entrance was a broad window with tables behind it. Surprised me. I had no idea.
Discovered this after being dragged along on a multi-hour shopping trip. Wife and daughter did their thing while I sat in the bar, drank scotch and watched a game.
One no apostrophe(or if Nordstrom's Rack then apostrophe after the s). Two, I have never in my life been in a Nordstrom that had a bar, where are these?
Edit: Sorry for the grammar stuff, I just passed TOEFL.

Congratulations for passing that!
It is difficult to know when to offer a spelling or grammar correction and when to just let it go. Especially if you are new to the language and excited about what you have learned. Will you be helping someone who isn't sure of the right way to spell it, or was it just a simple typoe?
After all, pretty much every native English speaker has trouble with where to put the apostrophe's.
So my friend, welcome to our wild and funny and inconsistent language that we call "English" but draws from pretty much every other language in the world and inherits all of their quirks.
p.s. I also want to know which Nordstrom store has a bar!
[1] "Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL /ˈtoʊfəl/ TOH-fəl) is a standardized test to measure the English language ability of non-native speakers wishing to enroll in English-speaking universities."
Well, strictly speaking, that may not quite be the case, eh?
> You didn't need to make such a condescending comment.
Now you have me at a disadvantage. I honestly did not mean any condescension. I meant the comment as light-hearted, humorous, and supportive advice. The mention of "typoe" and "apostrophe's" was in that spirit: even those of us who grew up speaking English often get it wrong.
The wonderful thing about English is that even when you do get the "rules" wrong, it may still be cool as long as people understand what you meant.
If I said something that came across as condescending or mean-spirited, could you help me and share the specifics, so I can do better next time? Thanks!
I know better, but auto correct on my phone doesn’t. I gave up fighting with it long ago. Latest iOS seems to correct things twice before giving up which really pisses me off!
My fingers are larger than average so it helps more than it hurts, for now.
