Considering google usually has me in the wrong state I’m probably always in the wrong place at the wrong time

Alexa thinks I am in Carlsbad, CA.

Wrong coast, but good guess.

Do you use a vpn? That is why google thinks I’m in a different country.

No, the cell towers can triangulate your position with pretty good accuracy. They do that to facilitate tower-to-tower hand-off as you move. If your GPS feature is on they can track to withing a couple of meters.
