I forget where I heard this but when you get a call, pressing 1 or 2 will connect you to a real person. If you talk about Tiananmen Square they will eventually block your number from their end. Can't confirm, but sounds dumb enough tha

My work has a pretty strict Internet filter in place, but Wikipedia is fair game. I hop around random articles while my project builds, and I save things that interest me. Then I write about them later. No focus on technology or any specifi
