Yes, I've been without a cell phone for 3 years. An actual Cell phone. The status quo ridiculing will be gone. No I did not give into pressure. I just bid my time and waited.. Patiently. A cell phone is a luxury to some, it was my case unfortunately. I learned the importance of them, not like before, where I didn't care and upgraded every 6 months without thinking about it. 

 

 

The constant banter of "Wait, you don't have a cell phone?!" followed by laughter incredulous of this fact...will be no more. I have purchased the phone I wanted as well. The Xperia Z2. I just have to wait one week for shipping. 

 

The little things in life man, they matter. To me it means a whole lot. To you, well this is nothing. :D I am ecstatic and honestly stoked to finally get some of these girls digits instead of their emails...xD

 

 

So yeah..any of you, call meh. ;*

I'm kinda a vagabond right now though. Lived in 3 totally different places since the beginning of the year, don't plan on settling down for at least 5 years or so.

With VoIP phone systems, you can take them with you.

 

I looked into it when I thought I might be moving to Australia because I still needed a U.S. phone number for work.

 

Basically, once you set your phone system up, the phone number will work anywhere that you have the VoIP system plugged into an internet connection.

As in you have a phone number and a phone, but your phone service is eliminated and you get called over some sort of internet system?

I'm thinking of cutting my cell plan and trying to get by on WiFi alone (iMessaging, Facetime calls, Skype, whatever)

 

Any survival tips?

 

 

This is pretty much all I did, my laptop and some cheap touch screen phone that had no service, I'd hack into peoples wifi or use my wifi at home to communicate via text messaging app, skype, and such apps. 

 

A land line will help, I was a bit of a home body these past three years so if someone needed to call me, they'd call the land line and I'd usually be home. But they would know when I'd be home or not.

      Hey You, You Don't Know Quarterbacking

      By strato · Posted

      Yeah and I am doubtful he can offer that consistently. I don’t have many years left at my age and in my view we have wasted two and this whole exercise with him was always a three year minimum.  I am out on that with a guy I don’t believe in, and never believed in, it has sucked. To me it is a costly detour off the right track. Years.    But I am not so rigid that I can’t see excellence. He needs to display it though, consistently before I change my outlook.

      No, when I said rage, I meant rage, which only applies to certain fans on this board. Your timeline of trying to assess whether he is the future or not is really tied to the discussions surrounding his second contract. If this team is going to commit to some monster contract while he has shown nothing but glimpses of brilliance would be deservedly worrisome, so the clock is genuinely ticking for him to settle into something resembling his final form. Perhaps a best case scenario is that he plays well, the team succeeds, but he does so with a more limited role that makes the rest of the league view him as a game manager, and his second contract value reflects that. Then he continues to improve and becomes a bargain comparatively while not handicapping the team around him, and we enter an era of consistent championship competitiveness that the fanbase has craved for decades and has never really experienced before. But that requires many, many things to go right and for Bryce himself to facilitate that if he ends up being the quarterback of the future.

      Bryce's Achilles Heel Is Not What You Think It Is

      Exactly. And the flame throwers as well, get location benefits from not going all out. But they have it in reserve.  Not sure how much Greg had but he was an artist.  There was a YouTube I came across last year or maybe even 2023 and I don’t how to even find now but it had two NFL QBs I want say one was Carr from the Raiders but I don’t really remember  The point of it is they stood side by side throwing identical distances to identical targets. Radar gun was used.  They threw the normal effort (not all out) and it was measured etc. Then they were asked to throw their ‘fastball’. They were missing and most often they were missing high. It demonstrated the same principle.    edit: and applying that to arm strength, give me the guy that doesn’t need max effort to have good velocity. The margins are so narrow with less velocity in tne NFL the defenders can Close on it and this is a league where they value down to the 100th of a second level. It is that tight
