Can someone explain the concept or history of the telephone club/restaurant that Joan & her friend visit in S6:E3?

No, not the "Electric Circus" but the place they go before that, where they meet the guy who takes them out the rest of the night. Each table has a telephone and the crowd is younger. I had some questions about it, mainly what is it? Is club or restaurant even the right word for it? And how did it work? Like, would you bring in your own phone or all of them were already there? Were you charged to access & use them? FYI, I've tried googling this already with no luck as all I have to search is rather vague.

Telephone PIN Theft: Doesn't the prison have a log of what numbers were called?

I'm really curious about this.
Every season there's drama around someone making calls on a stolen PIN. Why can't the prison easily resolve this by looking at what numbers were called on the stolen PIN, having the victim identify the numbers they don't recognize, and then comparing those numbers to other inmates? I have to assume that the thieves are probably calling the same people on different PINs so this should be super easy to figure out.

If people knew they could easily get caught, they'd stop doing it, which would reduce the drama and violence this can lead to.

Project of the day (PotD) - replaced old telephone install with Ethernet cat6 network

My hands still hurt, can't feel my back, but at least it is done :) A bunch of pictures here: https://imgur.com/gallery/5HWAVc2

Bought my place recently and one of the perks was having a telephone plug per each room. Immediately thought of replacing it with Ethernet but there were other priorities. I decided that today was going to be the day (mostly because wifi sucks, and my unifi ac lite was suffering, so I need to move it to the living room). I conscripted a friend of mine that taught me the ropes (preparing the plugs, helping me push the cable...) and I managed to finish the task a little while ago.

It was a fun exercise, and out of 3 plugs at least I know that one is good! (The AP is working!)

If anyone is thinking of doing this, get a 50 meter cat 6 cable, a bunch of rj45 wall sockets, dish soap, and start pushing and pulling! It was a lot easier once we started actually doing it :)

Hope you guys enjoy the pictures :)

Clarification 1, the walls are concrete, so no studs or the like. There are little boxes scattered around the house and they are connected with tubing. I opened all the boxes and pulled the cables from there.

Clarification 2, the telephone cable was set up like so: The outside -> Living room -> The office -> Bedroom 1 -> Bedroom 2

I changed it to this: The office -> Living Room The office -> Bedroom 1 The office -> Bedroom 2 (actual second Cable)

All of them are connected to the switch in the office. This way I got my network :)

Oral tradition isn’t anything like the game of Telephone.

Your oral traditions are shared communally, through speeches and storytelling. It’s an act of preserving the collective memory.

https://preview.redd.it/tyfd27dn8cl41.png?width=573&format=png&auto=webp&s=31c9a9612ca1154fe020d719e492ad71e2f27612

According to John Foley, oral tradition has been an ancient human tradition found in "all corners of the world".[9] Modern archaeology has been unveiling evidence of the human efforts to preserve and transmit arts and knowledge that depended completely or partially on an oral tradition, across various cultures:

>The Judeo-Christian Bible reveals its oral traditional roots; medieval European manuscripts are penned by performing scribes; geometric vases from archaic Greece mirror Homer's oral style. (...) Indeed, if these final decades of the millennium have taught us anything, it must be that oral tradition never was the other we accused it of being; it never was the primitive, preliminary technology of communication we thought it to be. Rather, if the whole truth is told, oral tradition stands out as the single most dominant communicative technology of our species as both a historical fact and, in many areas still, a contemporary reality.— John Foley, Signs of Orality[9]

>The Catholic Church upholds that its teaching contained in its deposit of faith is transmitted not only through scripture, but as well as through sacred tradition.[4] The Second Vatican Council affirmed in Dei verbum that the teachings of Jesus Christ was initially passed on to early Christians by "the Apostles who, by their oral preaching, by example, and by observances handed on what they had received from the lips of Christ, from living with Him, and from what He did".[73] The Catholic Church asserts that this mode of transmission of the faith persists through
