Oh yeah those are screwed. Luckily there are none of those around here!

You use voicemails in Belgium? Why?

Indonesia’s anti-drugs agency has proposed building a prison on an island guarded by crocodiles to hold death row drug convicts

It's something automatic on mobile phones. So sometimes I leave a message.
On fixed lines it is on the decline since the start of the century.
-
It's something automatic on mobile phones.
We have it as an optional feature offered by cell providers.
I have never seen anyone use it.If I want to speak with someone, it's probably only because I want to communicate them (you know, both ways) or need them to answer me immediately.
If I'm fine with one way, I'll just send a text message.
-
both ways
uh yeah, so you leave a message and ask them to call back. That's the only function.
-
That's the only function
that is already available by other means - SMS, e-mails, missed call notifications.
I understand why this feature was used in prehistoric times, I just don't see real utility now.
-
missed call notifications.
I never call back on missed calls but I do call back on voicemails.
-
I always call back on missed calls unless I "missed" them on purpose.
I've never got any voicemails, so I can't really relate. My current account doesn't have voicemail anyway.My provider has a pretty cool feature (which was really cool before pretty much everyone got caller ID, now it's mostly useless).
If you didn't answer for some defined amount of time, the automated voice would say "It seems this fucker can't talk right now. If you want to send him an SMS notification about a missed call, stay on the line until you hear a signal. Otherwise hang the fuck up. Oh and BTW if you don't hang up right NOW, we will charge you 7 motherfucking cents for that SMS. <BEEEEEEP>".Then you'd receive an SMS from your provider "Number 123456789 called you at 12:34 but you didn't want to talk to them".
-
I get a text message for the voicemail and it's free for me. Calling the vm system is free for me too. Normal rates apply to the caller.
-
I call some people back if I see the missed call notification. Everyone else only gets called back if they leave a voicemail, unless the response only needs an email then they get that.
-
You use voicemails in Belgium? Why?
Not Belgium, but I've received a voicemail as a
.wav
attachment to an email once. I don't recall whether that was at home or at work though - could have been either.

I just got a text message from a nearby pizza place.
They're offering 3 medium-sized pizzas of four or more ingredients for the price of 1.The catch? It's for orders between the 25th and the 27th of October.

So what you're saying is you don't have a DeLorean.
-
I absolutely would love to have a gold-plated DeLorean. But a regular stainless steel one would do too.
Wait. Scratch that. I want a DeLorean in KITT black.

-
That reminds me, I need to listen to (and delete) 8 messages on the machine. 6 are probably automated messages from debt collectors, the other two are probably misdials...

-

I've known an SMS take about 9 months to arrive. When it turned up at last, it was so confusing that we had to phone the back to ask what on earth they were talking about. It was only by comparing notes that we managed to figure out that it really was the communication system that had taken ages.
So yes, SMSs can take surprisingly long to arrive.

The Aaaugh! Ignorant! panel is funny.
All other panels are not.
-
Thanks for explaining. But now I feel bad about thinking a few other panels were funny too.
-
You are wrong.
The panel in question has a guy whose neck suddenly stretches 3 feet for no reason, two baby-people outside on the wing (one of whom just busted his head through the wall) and a snake on the plane which is a joke reference to a movie that was an Internet meme back in like 2009.
-
You are wrong.
That one is a given, because I'm arguing with you ;)
But, if I must choose, the funniest was the AK-47 phone case one.
-

I liked the waistwatch one.
Apple needs to get on that.
-
I think the comic would have improved substantially if they had skipped panels 2, 3, and 9.
Thanks for mentioning the snake. I hadn't noticed.
Looking again: one of the baby people isn't busting through the wall. Their necking is coming up from the behind the seats. Those action lines on the wall are just confusing.
-
Agree on 2 and 9. 3 is necessary, if it's missing, 6 and 7 make no sense.

Does it count if I listened to a voicemail as a part of testing a phone system I deployed?
-
Well, I counted me pressing mochaccino button on our office's coffee machine as "made my own myself", so why not?
Also, I've never watched Narcos, so I don't know if it counts for that badge.

So you never had proper coffee in your life, or just never made one?
Coffee machine coffee - only to be used in case of extreme caffeine deficiency as a last resort.
-

I used to drink instant coffee at home, now I'm too lazy to do even that so I wait until someone else starts to make coffee and asks me if I want one.
In the office I just drink what the machine gives me. It tastes good enough and generally is able to wake me up just fine unless I had a whole night gaming session, then the situation calls for an energy drink or two.
It's a fairly good machine, it has plenty of coffee style choices, and it's free.

I meant 1 and 2, not 2 and 3. @OffByOne
-
That makes more sense.
Your off by one error, on the other hand not so much- it's neither a 0, nor 1, but a 2 based indexing?

Only if you have set the welcome message to scooter.

I tried, they wouldn't let me!
Also, about @obeselymorbid's statement... @Maciejasjmj, what shall we do with this heretic?

about @obeselymorbid's statement
Which one? I try to make all my statements as trollish as possible, so you'll have to clarify.
The one about coffee?

Personally, I recommend burning you at the stake, but I'm open to other suggestions.

Can't help but second, obviously. Though I thought you'd be opposed to that particular method...
-
I'm a forgiving person.
Also, if someone would accidentally get caught in the blaze... of irony... *cough*
-
If you want to make a proper coffee for me, you are more than welcome to.
I CBA though, and the office coffee serves its purpose of making my eyes stay almost open so that I can continue to pretend to be working.I'm open to other suggestions
caffeine overdose?

Why? I don't know about Croats, but their neighbours certainly enjoyed good staking back in the day.

If the horse's duty is to deliver coffee then I do. There are no compromises when it comes to coffee!
