  So far one of the most interesting cultural behavior unique to DC that I’ve observed this month: When doing initial screening prior to agreeing to a date, guys ask where you were on January 6th. Feels anticlimactic when I counter with “When’s the last time you ate Taco Bell?”

  Holy shit, SOC2 round one just wrapped with only five additional requests for data. And what you should be most impressed about is that I will still find ways to be full of doubt. And we should be!

  The end of the lifetime guarantee from T-Mobile. Nice of the FCC to let them just cancel that and pay people i think it was $2 or $3 for lying and violating contracts. Does anyone have any idea what a “modern” cell phone plan is or “enhanced features” ? I’m assuming it means they also dropped the promise to never do traffic shaping. I’ll just guess sports premium packages or poly market credits. And of course probably now actively mess with VPNs. Any other guesses what ‘modern’ and ‘enhanced...
