Mobile Virtual Network Operators. They’re only buying capacity on other operators’ networks.

So, only MVNOs will notify you.

It’s really fucking depressing

If your school is not supporting teachers with a cell phone policy you should try to find another place to teach and tell them exactly why when you leave.

Edit: this is also something your union should be pushing for. I’m surprised parents haven’t demanded it.

And this is the answer to why it makes sense in Europe and not the US.

How are you getting power to your appliances? Someone else suggested back feeding into an outlet which is illegal in the US.

Back feeding is illegal in the US.

I see you. My best friend is the type of person who never knows where his things are, and part of that is he doesn’t have a set system for where things go. My wife is the same way, but until the patriarchy puts more pockets in women’s clothes she gets a pass on that one.

Yeah I got my first phone around the time I started driving, and then it really only had enough minutes for emergencies or letting my parents know where I’d be. Also I start the car with my right hand so left pocket seems silly.

Right handed, phone front left, keys front right, wallet back right. It’s a perfect system. Not sure about other countries but in the US the key start is always on the right side of the steering column and I unlock doors with my right hand.

Gotta ask, are you the type of person that regularly misplaces things?

While I agree with your sentiment, I’m not sure the cell tower is a good comparison. Very few if any cell towers are installed on a residential single family roof. Leasing part of your plot of land or space on a commercial or multi unit building is a completely different problem than giving a company rights to part of a frame residential home. Who maintains the roof? Who insures the roof? What insurance company will write that policy? It’s already getting more complicated to insure rooftop solar because claims are climbing. Now you’ve got a roof leased to someone else with solar panels on it? Seems to me like any commercial venture would skip all that and go straight to buying or leasing land. Land with no homes. This is the US after all, we have plenty of that laying around.

Companies are offering rooftop solar owned by the residents because they want it, they want the benefits. The problem is that it’s rapidly growing and a great target for scams. Especially considering the age demographic of homeowners who have paid off enough of their mortgage that they have collateral for said loans. These companies should be regulated and vetted somehow.

What are you powering with it? How are you storing the energy? It just doesn’t make any economic sense to me. I’d love to see some statistics on the total cost of one of these systems and how much power people are actually getting. Maybe it makes more sense in Germany where energy prices are nearly double the US average. But I’d still love to see some real examples to back that up.

Quite the stretch. But also, who enforces that? The guy who wears a fucking gold Trump head pin?

Llama signed the collective bargaining agreement that prohibits this. So they are indeed suing the correct entity for breach. It doesn’t matter if the IP owner gave permission.
