*"Testing....1...2...3....YARP"

Stream commission I got from Foxenawolf, in which Will lets out his major call, a YARP.

I think other contributions are:
1. Sound qualty on cellphones is poor.
2. Cellphones really aren't very good for making or receiving calls.
3. No privacy: What you say on a call can be heard by every one around you.

Teenagers no longer answer the phone: is it a lack of manners or a new trend?

A literal 🐐!!

"Schlott has taken old pay phones, modified them to make free calls, and set them up in three different towns across the county. He buys the phones secondhand from sites like eBay and Craigslist and restores them in his home workshop.

With just an internet connection, these phones can make calls anywhere in the U.S. or Canada — no coins required. And Schlott covers all the operating costs himself."

"He says the phones have come in handy for drivers whose cars have broken down nearby. And at a public library in Thetford Center — the most used installation by far — kids have been able to call their parents for rides home or simply to check in."
