Yeah I had to make 7 stops to find bags of ice. I have 3 med/large uprooted tree engulfing my house but thankfully didnโt damage it. The most insane storm Iโve been through.
I seriously have an emotional attachment to my car at this point. Driving something for so long, Iโm going to be sad when it bites the dust. Iโm shooting for another 10 years or until it hits 300k miles.
If I am going to interpret your question verbatim, I would feel pretty confident in saying 99.9% of phone calls will traverse a VoIP trunk when they are connected. Does that mean itโs a VoIP call?
You have to remember the Public Switched Telephone Network is a bunch of different phone providers interconnected through all kinds of different protocols. Anytime youโre making a phone call, itโs going to hit a VoIP trunk at some point regardless if youโre calling from one of the few true analog lines left.
And as many pointed out in this thread, even if you have an analog line at your home or office, the chances are pretty high it is just a โhandoffโ that is probably connected to a VoIP device right on the other side - whether itโs at your site or at the providers central office.
There are still true copper lines and T1s out there but providers really want to get out of that space and are jacking up the rates for these services so high that it is forcing people to move dedicated VoIP service.
Side rant: I just really wish fax machines would go away. They are a challenge sometimes to get them working over a VoIP connectionโฆ
Iโm conflicted. I have a parent whoโs dying. I feel the void of the parenting I was supposed to receive. They never fulfilled any of the obligations I consider appropriate. Iโm a parent, now. They did none of the things Iโm doing for my kids....
Not a parent, didnโt have bad parents so take the below for what itโs worth.
All I can seriously offer you are my deepest sympathies for your situation. I really hope you find the answers you are searching for.
From an armchair philosophical standpoint, I donโt really feel like anyone should truly owe their parents anything. We didnโt ask to be brought into this world even though many people say life is a blessing. In the end, we all face death though and have to reconcile it in our own way. And if this person is truly one of the worst people in your life and mistreated you as a child then fuck em.
What?? KMFDM back in the 90s were groundbreaking with their name and album art alone. Very stylized, nihilistic vibes aesthetically when I would see their albums in the record store - even before I ever listened to them. Hell, I even shoplifted a cassette tape from Camelot Records when I was a teenager just cuz I was so intrigued as to what this band was about.
Youโve awakened my โold man yells at cloudโ vibes with this one.
