They don’t feel heard.

We got 3 inches. It harkened me back to the good old days before the incredible weather technology we have now. When I was growing up in the 1960’s, I watched meteorologist Don Kent give his weather forecasts on WBZ channel 4 in Boston.

Dinger had his second ACL surgery in the past five months. While his recovery is on par with the recovery from his September surgery, this time he was much less willing – as in resistant – to taking all of his meds (pain, inflammatory and anti-biotic). Remembering that Dinger loves Starbucks’ Puppaccinos (whipped cream in a cup), my wife suggested that we hide the pills in a 1/4 cup of whipped cream.

The response rates were anywhere between 0.29% and 1.25%. The sample sizes was 200K, which is significant. The argument the author was making was the technique that produced 1.25% was the best approach (which aligned with what they sold).
