Jerry and Rachel are two strangers thrown together by a mysterious phone call from a woman they have never met. Threatening their lives and family, she pushes Jerry and Rachel into a series of increasingly dangerous situations, using the technology of everyday life to track and control their every move.

The article doesn’t specify where and they don’t say T-Mobile US. They do say that it’s the T-Life app that records the screen while using it.

Your comment reminded me of the user on Reddit who would start out a comment talking about the whatever and then halfway through it became about Undertaker throwing Mankind off Hell in a Cell.

Edit: ShittyMorph is the user.

Just wait until you find out about townships.

Does T-Mobile operate in Europe? I thought they were a US carrier.

Thanks for calling this out. I had forgotten about that bit.

Even without the check-in and security it is typically faster to fly (or drive) the places people typically go on a plane in the US.

The problem is that the railways are prioritized for freight traffic first, so the commuter train traffic takes a looooong time. My understanding is the freight movement by train is better in the US whereas the commuter train movement is better in Europe.

For example, I live in the Twin Cities of Minnesota. To travel to Chicago by different methods is:

• By car: ~6 hours travel time
• By train: ~9 hours travel time
• By plane: ~1.5 hours flight time, call it 4 hours total travel time

I think humans existed for quite a long time before cars were invented so I don’t think they can be all that essential for the species.

You didn’t really answer the OPs question but you did mention evolution. Do you have an answer?

It’s pretty clear on the evolution of transportation that spawned cars and it wasn’t for no reason. You can actually replace ‘cars’ in your statement with anything, see:

I think humans existed for quite a long time before trains were invented so I don’t think they can be all that essential for the species.

I think humans existed for quite a long time before bicycles were invented so I don’t think they can be all that essential for the species.

I think humans existed for quite a long time before animal-drawn carts/carriages were invented so I don’t think they can be all that essential for the species.

Are you anti-everything but human locomotion?

Where? They don’t in the US.

It was. ( ͡~ ͜ʖ ͡°)

Maybe they could use the implanted chip to wall off your non-work side when you enter your office so you’re not distracted and fully focused on your job.

Then when you leave your work side gets blocked off so you can leave work at work. Automatic work/life balance.

You retain ‘President’ as an honorific but once they leave office calling them President [Lastname] is equivalent to calling a PhD or MD Dr. [Lastname].

This is why if the current serving president and a previous president are mentioned together the current serving is referred to as President and the previous serving would be referred to as Former President.
