It's for show...I think they wanted to dramatic pay-off for scenes like when david, in a panic, rips the handset out of the coupler and hangs up

remember when david sets his computer up to dial numbers til he finds the computer? well consider that the modem would have to go on-hook/off-hook to redial (that's actually a shorting resistor across the twisted pair..an actual electrical switching -- you can do it through the jacks b/c that's an electrical connection, but an acoustic coupler is ACOUSTICALLY connected)
Hum. I assume it might have been technicaly possible to do this with a tone- didn't some of the 'box' circuits supposedly do this for long-distance calls at least? I imagine an acoustic coupler wouldn't be able to do the needful, however. And Johnny boy certainly wouldn't.
Let also remind that as Miss'ippi John has reminded us many times, he grew up poor. Super poor. So poor they could only afford the basics - very little food, having to have the power shut off, and $500 modems to attach to $1500 computers to use $0.25 a minute BBSes.
The absolute bare minimum for human survival.
Ah.. but you see. He didn't pay for those phone calls because hE wAs A hAcKeR.
Who says a classic 911 isn't practical? I'd say the person who can't see out of the rear view mirror or the off side wing mirror because there's a fucking tree in the passenger seat.
Let's leave aside, for a moment, the fact that subjecting expensive plants to sustained hurricane force winds right before planting them is not a good idea.

there are a few problems
you are probably thinking main of boxes like the blue box (the 2600 box) which could disconnect across a trunk and allow a LD dial-thru but that's in-band and you'd hear it for each and every call along with the wink and dialing dance[which we don't]
it can't be out-of-band b/c he'd need to hardwire that (not all boxes were acoustic boxes) and if he did that then he wouldn't be needing an acoustic coupler at all
I think that's the big thing -- If we are talking digging into HW to make the acoustic coupled modem more than it is, then you'd just get rid of the acoustic coupler..esp as he's using it on his desk (not a payphone)

and he's not manually using a blue box now if he'd modified his modem circuitry to be able to blue box (added a blue box in parallel, etc) then he would just go ahead and wire up a jack and do away with the acoustic coupler all together

on the other side of it, I'm not sure if holding a trunk open all night would work and on the practical side, ma bell allowed some boxing b/c it wasn't that pervasive and they made money b/c busy lines meant building out which meant raising the baseline rates.
but once you start holding a trunkline overnight...well -- tracing back in that day was literally polling the relays...that's a hard wire right to your house

Way ahead of you bri. I got one in the driveway already but it belongs to my brother coincidentally named Jon. I took a pic
20210627_175659.jpg

Wanna know why it looks like shit? Because it is shit and its made of fibreglass and slower than a golf cart and no one has wanted to drive it in years. The rims my bro put on it are worth more than the car. If you get in an accident you're fucked. Worst car i ever drove.

Its also the flip ferrari body kit if you remember the meme.

The Fiero is good fundamentally. Lots of GM 3800 V6 and LS swaps turn it from a wheezy Iron Duke powered also.ran into a genuine screamer. It suffered from being produced by a GM that couldn't have anything faster than the mediocre Corvette of the same era.

Why would it need to permanently employ an internal team of any kind of developers when it can contract out near everything to national/international credit union networks/partners/etc.?
Because John once heard the phrase "full stack developer" and now he just mindlessly echoes it, whether it's remotely relevant to anything he's gibbering about like an absolute retard. None of the morons, even dumber than he is, who follow him will know any better or that he's just talking nonsense, again.
I have three friends I knew in grad school who earned Ph.D.s in chemistry. None of them ever encountered "a terrifying moment . . . when 'all this shit is starting to make sense.'" One of them (a woman) is a professor, another (also a woman) does research for the DoD, and the third works for 3M; they appear competent to me, despite their woeful lack of some moronic epiphany in grad school.
Yes but did any of them have the experience any true woman has of having the courage to cut her own cock off and then marry a screaming chink paypig and then do nothing but spend his money for the rest of her life while claiming to be a professional in every field of human endeavor?

No of course not so quit mansplaining.

Woz and Jobs sold some of the best blue boxes in the scene and it's somewhat ironic that Apple ultimately turned into some of the biggest control freaks about their own phone. Well, Woz made them, Jobs sold them. A nice hustle to start up their actual legit business.

I mean, the fact that the base 4 made less power than the MR-2 with half as much again more displacement was a problem. But contemporary reviews suggest launch models handled far worse than Camaros and 'vettes. It only bettered total dogshit like the FWD Daytona.

I love the idea of a Northstar Fiero but I bet every Fiero that has been actually 'fixed' to 'how it should have been' has as much money in seam welds, roll bars, and just plain completely different rear suspension components from what GM put in, as it does in MOAR POWER and custom fab to fit.

I hope John buys one (automatic 4) and puts $2k of upgrades in (Bluetooth radio).

Imagine lying about something so stupid.
To john it isn't stupid. It's "cred" for his computer buddies. As long as he can sound in the know or part of the group, john will have done it in his own mind.
Makes a wonderful improvement to the house Frank bought three years ago.

You can see newly placed sod that hasn't even taken yet, given the colour difference, and you let that retaining wall fall apart so bad you needed to pay professionals to come and repair it.

I don't know if I have autism, but I hate how they only have flowers on one side of the path.
I wonder if John's father knows he's using his service to leech off USAA. I also wonder if John's father could actually put a stop to it.
While I don't advocate contacting Johns dad, I would still laugh at that and would love to hear that conversation.

Car dox.

Also, I love how that third picture on the craigslist is a tiny dick.

I think it's actually a screenshot from the show little britian. Gym Buddies or something.

John doesn't seem to realize that portraying elderly black voters as illiterate fools isn't very progressive.

The ballot measure that John's ignorant old darkies voted for once someone got them to understand it was a constitutional amendment to outlaw gay marriage. It passed with 86 percent of the vote.

good after major refits does seem like we are talking the Fiero of Theseus - like saying the Ac Ace and Sunbeam Alpine were fast...uhhh once Caroll Shelby got ahold of em that is.

I remember them when they came out (I had the MR2) and they seemed really buggy with cooling and I recall there being some engine compartment fires and a bunch of other stuff that added up to not a very good car.
