multi-featured cell phones

I'm not willing to sacrifice my modicum of privacy
for convenience

You don't have to. The numbers are all unlisted. Telemarketers can't
find you. You can set the phone to airplane mode where you can't
send or receive, to "do not disturb" mode, where you can call out
but incoming calls are muted and go straight to voice mail, either
absolutely or one can allow "favourites" through or allow anyone who
calls twice through the second time.

Interesting, and you make a good case, but I still
don't see a massive advantage nor anything that
outweighs my objections.

The newest iPhones have dual sim cards that allow you to have two
numbers for the same phone. Roslind's work number goes on "do not
disturb" automatically from 9 PM to AM because her clients will
take advantage of her at all hours if she allowed it. The second
unblocked number is known by only a very small number of close
friends and family.

Apple product? Apple product? Chat fance, farley. It's
clearly not a benevolent institution, any more than
Microsoft or Monsanto, and I don't believe in its
beneficence, either.

Title: Lithuanian Smoked Eel
hang to cold smoke for 5-6 days. Hot smoking takes a shorter time,
2-3 days. End smoking with juniper twigs, to obtain juniper flavored
smoke. Cold smoked eel can be kept longer, while hot smoked eel
should be eaten within a few days.

Hot smoking for 3 days strikes one as enough to
produce a plank that should keep for decades. I'm
not sure about the times for cold smoking, but
maybe something went wrong in the translating?
