    I do miss that magic period of early cheap VoIP where my friends and I would have a call going more or less in the background while all doing our own things. A lower-cost impromptu hangout before we all had cars.
    That was never about efficient transfer of information though. Calling with demands is just intrusive.

    Not that I ever turn my ringer on. Dang robocallers.

      Yeah. Scam Robocallers that don’t give a fuck about the law are a huge reason no one answers the phone anymore. My phone is a combo work/personal phone, so I tend to answer it more often—I have a dream job, though, so it’s worth it.
