After 3 long long years...this guy is going to have a cell phone.

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.

    • He’s kind of overrated to be honest. Never really felt like a true #1 or elevated his play to become a guy the defense really has to worry about. 
    • I'm going to be real, the reason that vote ended up so lop-sided by the end was directly due to my programming. So there's nothing tongue in cheek about it. Also I left PFF after the Collinsworth acquisition (didn't want to move to Cincy) but have stayed involved in analytics via backdoor channels, but I can absolutely say that the experience was eye-opening, not because those guys are unquestionable football savants and that I became one by proxy, but because the amount of information that becomes available outside of what the typical fan has access to is revelatory and also really drives home how much context is still being missed even with all of that information. You don't discover that you know everything, you discover how much you still can't know no matter how hard you try, hence my point about the NFL not being able to figure out what makes a QB good. There's a lot of AI work going into that now and even that only seems to further confuse things vs. actually enlighten the problem. In the professional realm teams don't really talk about quarterbacks as A strictly being better than B, but how A can potentially perform better than B given a specific context of C. Of course those contexts may be wider for A than B, but there's also contexts where B can outshine A, even with lesser talent surrounding them. So what good teams strive to do is ultimately define a process of how they want their entire team to operate under schematically, find players that fit that scheme, and hopefully find a guy whose skillset will be maximized running that scheme with those players. Where bad teams fall of the wagon is constantly shifting those schemes and chasing bad fits or fads vs. sticking with a core identity and developing it.
