I have Google Fi, my partner has T-Mobile. Not sure what the deal is but my service abroad has always been far better than theirs. This includes Western and Central Europe, Southeast Asia, and Central America.

Oh phew, thankfully Globe Direct isn't affected. Since you don't have to sign up in the first place.

Why would the RMV have evidence of anything if it wasn't reported?

It makes me wonder.. if they continued making them in house, would they cost Blackbird/Union Sq Donut prices these days?

I'm surprised you were able to actually talk to somebody. When I tried to cancel I waited on hold for 30 minutes before being "disconnected."
Ultimately took me reaching out to my credit card to get things resolved.

Article 24 for eat in. Not sure how it is for take away.
Anything with short ribs in the recipe. I don’t know what they do to them, but holy shit they’re good.

I'm glad this seems to be getting resolved in your favor. I'm not surprised some goof ratted you out, given how petty some people can be.
I moved to Quincy, MA from NYC and for over 2 years my car still had NY plates. No one ever bothered me about it and cops used to pass by the car all the time. What made me finally transfer my title and registration to MA was I realized that my insurance would drop to less than half what I was paying for my NY registration. Would have saved myself over $2K had I done it sooner.

Lol I canceled a while back and the woman who hit me up on the phone kept low-key implying I was poor. "Are you sure you can't even afford X? Who can't afford $X? What if I bring it down another dollar?"

Grasshopper (best vegetarian option), Coreanos (kimchi fritas + kimchi fried rice! plus limeade), Kimchipapi (poke bowls), and Roxy's Grilled Cheese (truffle fries + burgers are great).

According to wiki:
>Google Fi uses the T-Mobile network.
In the US, that is fine. Overseas, T-Mobile's speed was (is?) 2G and 3G, depending on the countries' local networks. Can be very slow for Google Maps. The speed can be upgraded for a cost. Is that the same for Google Fi?

I can confirm it works pretty good in Boston. Not the best up in the mountains a few hours north though

The common sense solution is to change the code from 30 days to 6 months plus one day.

I bought one of those ATK hardbound annuals a few years ago. Every year since, like clockwork, they send me a new one, along with an invoice. Literally illegal. And yes, I called them the first time to stop. So how do I cancel a subscription I never signed up for?

The only reason to rest la befana is because most people don't bother to collect those coupons they print on the pizza boxes. Me and my homie used to go out on trash day and get enough for a free pizza
