Maybe odd question for all and sundry who might know.

Maybe odd question for all and sundry who might know. My sister and I have voice mail messages from our dad we hadn't deleted from our phones and we'd like to save them more permanently. Is there a way to do that?

    I suspect you will have to contact your carrier. They may be able to send it to you in a savable format? The lowtech way would be to play it off your phone while some other recording device was on, then save that audio file? Just brainstorming.

    I would think the cell company could send them to you as MP3s or something similar, but I don't know for sure.

    Short version: it depends but it will be difficult.

    Because of the different laws in different states you can no longer record what you hear on the phone with an app. The only way to do this without bootleg apps is to play the message on speaker and record it with a different device.

    I haven't tried it, but I feel like you could install a call recording app on your phone and then record a call between you and your voicemail system that plays the voicemail you want to keep.

    Matt Schaefer this used to be the case, but I don't think is an option anymore. That was my understanding when my dad died as we couldn't record the things he left :(

TIL that some languages apparently have words inherently differentiating one's status as a citizen or resident of the entity versus a member of a particular ethnic or cultural group? I don't quite grasp the whole thing, although I heard the point being made. What's interesting to me is a) that there is such a thing, which seems very revealing of something about a culture that would need such concepts built into the language, and b) that there seem to be people who think it's inaccurate to interpret the word choice as meaningful. Firstly, since languages have all sorts of concepts built into them, many very specific to their primary culture of use, it seems reasonable that such a thing could exist. Not that I would have thought of it before, since I'm not from a culture where that sort of subtlety functions. Secondly, if that is, indeed, the subtlety of the word choices, where one essentially and inherently includes people, and the other excludes, then I'd kind o...

Good News:

Good News: 1. Thruway is open between Buffalo and Rochester. 2. You can get on it going from Buffalo south to Pennsylvania, but you cannot get off of it between Buffalo and Pennsylvania. 3. Almost all the other major highways are open. 4. This is important, because with no highways open, there was no way to truck in food for the grocery stores, or gas for the cars and snow removal equipment and generators, etc. Yes, some places were starting to run low. (Yeah, they removed all the refineries and terminals years ago. Which is why our gas is still well above $3/gal. The closest place we get it from is Akron, OH. Wtf, government. P.S. Good plan! That whole section of I-90 runs along the eastern side of Lake Erie. FYI, that would be the part where they get Lake Effect snow. All winter, every winter. Good strategic planning.) Bad News: 1. Roofs are collapsing all over the place. And we haven't gotten the melt and rain, yet. 2. A lot of communities are days away from being reached by the...
