> did increase the amount of people crossing parallel to traffic when the signals indicated "don't walk".
This is a feature, not a bug. With the setup of "two 1 way streets feed into a scramble", crossing safely on a "do not walk" is trivial, with only a single direction to look for many of the most common crossings.
A solution that solves the noise problem without returning to beg buttons, is to make the intersection a flashing red at night. It becomes a 4 way stop where pedestrians have the right of way. Everyone wins.
The separate lump sum life insurance is brilliant. Assuming all goes well, it will be a nice initial boost to handle one off 'start of new setup' expenses and ensure a buffer of savings beyond the monthly stipend. Worst case, it can be stretched and used for critical things instead of safety and comfort.
You can pasteurize it yourself with very little extra effort when making espresso drinks, since you need to heat the milk with a steam wand anyway. The flavor and especially foam of a cappuccino are slightly better when made with self-pasteurized-while steaming raw milk vs equivalent non raw Jersey milk in my at home blind taste tests.
Your best bet is to set up something like FreeSWITCH that you can text with keywords or your own custom arguments, and have custom scripts craft a response.
This is indeed one of the best in the thread! It's rare to see both 'oncall only once every two months" and "Paid very well for both on call time and active time". Lieu time is also usually unofficial.
I'm assuming it's not "spend 5 minutes ACKing a page, get a day off". I have seen it as "If you get paged and have to work 11pm to 2am, cancel your morning meetings and come in at noon". It isn't really much incentive to break things.
One where you can figure out exactly what you are getting if you want. It shows you enough detail about the "mystery hotel" (Example: Free Parking, Gym, At least 3 star, Rating of 8+ out of 10, at least 800 ratings) that quickly referring to the search results from the area makes it clear which is which. Love it and been using for years.
One where it's "One of these 3 specific hotels". I hate this one for the same reason as you because you're rolling the dice, the hotels can be very different and in different neighborhoods.
I'm getting mixed messages here. Amazon won't sell these devices because they don't allow Prime video streaming. Meanwhile, Amazon disabled Prime instant video on the Google TV, even though it's been working for several years. Do they want these devices to support Prime Instant Video or not?
Uber, by comparison:
'Trips during the quarter grew 21% YoY to 2.8 billion, or approximately 30 million trips per day on average.'
That would be about 350 payments per second if load was evenly distributed.
