Domestic violence hotlines are generally available at all times during the day, however, problems with busy lines or disconnections due to lack of funding sometimes limit their usefulness.[1] Additionally, battered gay men report that hotline workers will sometimes not provide them with services or will refer them to the batterers' line.[2] Nonetheless, scholars assume that hotlines reduce frequency of domestic violence.[3]

gollark: Google's application launcher on Android guesses what apps you might want to use based on location and time and stuff apparently.
gollark: But having computers predict user behaviour granularly is really hard, so the only capabilities for that are very primitive.
gollark: CPUs also have prefetching for cache.
