Now, I can hold a note for a long time...actually I can hold a note forever. But eventually that's just noise. It's the change we're listening for. The note coming after, and the one after that. That's what makes it music.

omnis, pursue. That's an order from a shy woman who can use M-16. - Shir

I just can't be bothered to take my damn iPhone out of my pocket every fucking time I sit down

I can't recall if you ruled out Bluetooth headphones?

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

I want one of the fancy new MacBook Pros, but my current one is working fine and I've declared a moratorium on "expensive shit I don't really need" until my job situation is clarified a year from now.

Our wings are not tired

I've switched over to some of the new bone conduction headphones. There are a lot of situations where I really like them now.

Is anyone on Fi? I'm thinking about getting a Pixel and switching to it.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Google Fi? Yes, I have it, though I have a Nexus.

Thoughts? The one person I know who has it loves it, but I feel like I need a bigger sample size.

I think, as is, it's probably best for single users, rather than people who'd benefit from a family plan. I pay $30/month for unlimited talk and text and 1GB of data. If you go over your allotment, they pro-rate the charge. If you don't use the full allotment, they credit it toward your bill.

I have had times when my phone just doesn't ring and I miss a call, but that's been true of other services I've had. I had to call customer support a couple of times when I was getting it set up, and they were immediately available and very helpful.

It's pretty much perfect for me.

Sounds good. My family doesn't use mobile devices so it is really just me.

Republic Wireless has a plan for unlimited talk and text with 1GB of data for $20 a month.
