  I thought I liked music but thinking I might never be able to connect four different related names to an artist

  (Then again suppose I don’t like music enough to be able to review it)

  Looks like Russia’s taken some preventative measures

  MOSCOW, RUSSIA - NOVEMBER 6, 2020:Breathalyzer at the checkpoint for Domodedovo International Airport staff

  Breathalyzer: “Russian here)) yep, we also have such things in port where I am working. Really, I’ve seen some drunk workers or seaman trying to pass.”

  array of six or seven of them that popped up from below, like bread from a toaster

  That is awesome :D

  (Referring to the polite signs here of course)

  Interesting how presumably simply the tech at the time led them to a solution that may still be legal today, vs. the cheap AliExpress stuff that the DOT wouldn’t like

  LED = illegal even inside the vehicle if I recall correctly, California

  I’ve wanted a polite version with thank you and stuff on it but apparently they don’t want any lighting that isn’t described in the drivers manual, essentially.

  So new idea: circular laminated paper driven by a motor. Or that individual one flap per letter design.

  Impressive. Employ a buncha seasoned techniques ‘n’ tactics during service? Influence by Dr. Cialdini had some, (including one that was essentially dishonest), but one more normal one like this:

  One of the best demonstrations of the Principle of Reciprocity comes from a series of studies conducted in restaurants. So the last time you visited a restaurant, there’s a good chance that the waiter or waitress will have given you a gift. Probably about the same time that they bring your bill. A liqueur, perhaps, or a fortune cookie, or perhaps a simple mint. — So here’s the question. Does the giving of a mint have any influence over how much tip you’re going to leave them? Most people will say no. But that mint can make a surprising difference. In the study, giving diners a single mint at the end of their meal typically increased tips by around 3%. — Interestingly, if the gift is doubled and two mints are provided, tips don’t double. They quadruple—a 14% increase in tips. But perhaps most interesting of all is the fact that if the waiter provides one mint, starts to walk away from the table, but pauses, turns back and says, “For you nice people, here’s an extra mint,” tips go through the roof. A 23% increase, influenced not by what was given, but how it was given. — So the key to using the Principle of Reciprocity is to be the first to give and to ensure that what you give is personalized and unexpected.

  There’s still something about it though, have never figured it out exactly, but maybe some kinda containerization that occasionally comes with a larger font or at least just a bit of contrast
