This isn’t particularly surprising. In Temple, Texas, data centers are a thing, and people are like “I would like to have cheap electricity and water. Who the fuck are these folks?”

It’s actually a bit more absurd than that. The Hopi reservation, which is completely surrounded by the Navajo Nation, does not observe DST. But the rest of the state is on MST year-round.

With giant blocks of ice, of course!

My music collection is on my phone. If I’m not on Wi-Fi, I’m generally listening to music, so no data needed. Basically, it’s just notifications while I’m out and about. I certainly don’t care to watch videos on my phone! I can send that tab to my computer and watch when I get home.

Some people are pretty much always on Wi-Fi and never stream anything on a phone. I struggle to use 500MB/month of cellular data, so the $15/month plan is overkill by far.

I’m not “obsessed” with Mint; it’s just been reliable service for a decade for the same price (data went from 2GB to 6GB in that time). The cheapest broadband around here is $100/month, so this would be less than half the price and includes phone service. With inflation being how it is, I figured I’d point out something that could save people money.
