Frank, I had the same issue. So, I went to go find out more information...using the Google search bar in my browser.
Oh, I wish those council guys would let me have an hour alone in the room with her, if I was larger and had grenades.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.
Financially there's no reason to keep our land line. We could save $100 a month if we bundle cable, internet and phone together. But I'm afraid that as soon as I ditch the land line there will be an emergency where I'll need it. What do you guys think?

I haven't had one since like 1999 and I've never had an issue.

The status is NOT quo.
We haven't had one in years, Laga, but I regretted it this past summer when the earthquake knocked out cell communication for a couple of hours. I don't know. I'd feel safer having one, but I haven't made it a priority yet.

All is well that ends in pizza.
OTOH? a natural disaster can knock out land lines for days, so...

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
And when a giant monster attacks, which gets disrupted more depends on the particular monster's smash-building/stomp-around-a-lot ratio.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I haven't been in one of those yet, but I've lost cell service more than once. Not counting me just not keeping the damned thing charged.
