BUT! Even outisde of the US:
Nearly always, this only go up to 2 SIMs on the tray. (Personal experience: none of my phone ever had more).

What's the likelihood you'll need more than 2 at a time? You have your home country SIM in one slot and the country-you're-in-now SIM in the other. Unless you're someplace like Europe where you can cross multiple countries in a day's drive, this isn't likely to be a big limitation.

(FWIW, T-Mobile (in the US, at least) provides free international roaming in most of the world. I've kept their SIM in while in Mexico and the Bahamas without issue. The only country I've been to that wasn't covered was Fiji, for which I bought a SIM at the airport with a week's worth of service, put that in my phone, and stashed the stateside SIM in a safe place until I left since my phone at the time was of the more common single-SIM variety. I think a dual-SIM tray is available for my current phone (a OnePlus 7 Pro), but I'm not sure if it'll work in a phone that shipped with a single-SIM tray.)

I hope you travel with a lot of surface spray and disinfectant wipes if that's really a concern for you.

I do, like every germophobic hypochondriac.

FTFY.

When I visited Copenhagen last, it really didn't matter what was on the ground.

That probably holds up anywhere cold you might go. My first year of college was at the University of Illinois, and people kept biking through the winter there. I only wiped out on ice once, after which I was more careful taking turns when snow was on the ground...just like you'd be more careful driving in similar conditions. Funny how that works. :)

Except that in places where the government actually works for the people

You write that as if such a place exists. By its nature, it can't.

seatback phones used to be fairly common, back in a time when phone calls were a much more common way to communicate. As far as I can recall, people making long, loud phone calls on planes was fairly rare

Those phones used to cost somewhere around $2-$5 per minute to use. Unless you had a shit-ton of money, you weren't going to use one of those to yack with your bestie for the entire flight. You only used one if it was absolutely essential.

Your lack of self-awareness is disappointing, moron. Turn off CNN and MSNBC and inform yourself.

A significant number of people in the US refused to wear masks, refused to honor pandemic practices, and refused to get vaccinated.

...and we were proven right to have done so, you were wrong, and you and your ilk will be held responsible for all the damage you've done. We have the receipts.

If you like your footlong blood clots, you can keep your footlong blood clots.

But when I did, everybody who had heat pumps had to use secondary "emergency heat" in the winter when temperatures fell below about 30F. The heat pump could produce heat but not enough heat to heat the buildings.

...and when the auxiliary/emergency heat kicks in, watch your power meter spin like mad. Even without it, in the condo I used to have that had electric everything (including a heat pump), my electric bills were about the same in the winter as in the summer. I'm back in an older unit now with a gas water heater that also powers room heating, and my combined gas & electric bills in winter are much lower than in the summer, when A/C usage drives up the electric bill. After that experience, you couldn't pay me to move into a home with a heat pump.

The first computer I had at home was a TI-99/4A, purchased in the spring of 1983...not long before TI decided it wanted out of the computer business. Before that, I had been learning BASIC on my grandfather's TRS-80 Color Computer whenever I visited (which was often as my grandparents were close by at the time).

The TI was never expanded beyond adding a cassette recorder for program storage. Two years later, I was about to start high school and my parents decided that a computer useful for more than just puttering around might be a good idea. That's when we bought an Apple IIe, loaded with a couple of floppy drives, 128K RAM, and a printer. With the addition of more RAM, a hard drive, and a modem a few years later, it got me through a big chunk of college as well. I still have it, but it has a IIGS motherboard under the lid now.

I know you can buy AM/FM radio. BUT, how many of you on here have one. I have 2 kids, 27,31 and they don't nor will they ever buy one.

I have several. Most home A/V receivers still have them (or did as of at least 10 years ago when mine was purchased), so that's one. I have a Walkman kicking around someplace, but it admittedly doesn't see much use anymore. I also have a couple of older radios (an AM-only RCA from the early '50s and a domestic-market Grundig from the '60s with shortwave and partial FM coverage...both are old enough that they use tubes), but those are admittedly far from typical.

There's also the issue of the antenna. Cars need multiple antennas already. FM radio, GPS, cellular, maybe WiFi.

AM is yet another antenna, and a somewhat awkward one.

Not really. The antenna on the back of my car covers AM, FM, satellite radio, and GPS, and it's one of those little "shark fin" thingies with maybe a six-inch stub on it. It works just fine for pulling in AM.

I used to have a car in which the antenna (originally connected to an AM-only radio) was a pair of wires embedded in the windshield, going up the middle and splitting at the top to go to the corners. It was OK for strong signals, but tended to pick up more interference.

and then he is trashing the rest of the components from the light. How about just buying the $1 processor you want from Mouser

That assumes they have it in stock. Lots of microcontrollers are in short supply right now.

Impossible! If a Supreme Court judge can't define "woman", then what hope do the rest of us have?

The law in question said "identifies as a woman," not "is a woman." With a loophole like that, Richard Levine would qualify, as he imagines himself as "Rachel."

Example: a Nissan Leaf costs like 10% more than a Nissan Altima.

...but is it truly comparable to the Altima? Most EV-vs-normal-vehicle comparisons I've seen involving Nissan have been between the Leaf and the Versa, which costs only about half as much as the Leaf.

Why can't the edge lords start their own web site

Like Parler? Oh, wait...

What is best in life? To crush your enemies, see them driven before you...and to hear the lamentations of the shitlibs as they get their toys taken away from them.
