a modern call phone call, does actually meet or exceed the quality from a landline. I know because I still had a landline until 2019 - and I have a VoIP one now.

They also had Number 5 Crossbar switches as well, the switching fabric wasn't huge in size, like I've seen what the frames look like, ESS was still much smaller than the crossbar that preceded it, and not that much physically larg

I do not, I never would have gotten my ticket with it, and I tried and repeatedly failed to learn code. Now I'm an Extra, and have been licensed long enough to join the QCWA.

The smart ones know they just know enough to be dangerous - a foundation of knowledge, not the whole book. Some of the best RF guys I know, have no formal training - because there is important theory around RF - it doesn't always work

Yes, at first it was an analog process with toll tickets making their way to your local business office who would prepare your bill, eventually it went to tabulation technology (punched cards) and then into the 1960's computers. As far

We went the other way, and converted to a gas cooktop and tankless gas hot water heater. Its a notable cost savings and quality of life improvement - there is no conceivable way to do tankless electric here.

I mean its a conservative one too - look at the moving goalposts to the right on Abortion, the right keeps demanding more and more stringent controls, gun rights too. Its an activist problem more than anything else.
