Last time I was there, getting a SIM card was not so simple. You have to show your passport and proof of your place of registration (official residence). They're harder for foreigners to get than locals. I found it easier to get a local to get it for me than buy it myself.

Getting them in mass quantities is not a trivial matter.

What about visiting foreigners who want to use their foreign SIM card? Are they just shit out of luck? Does this new rule mean foreign SIM cards won't work?

When i traveled abroad (not to Russia) a month ago, i just kept using the sim I already had, rather than getting a local one. Sounds like if I wanted to do that with Russia, I may be shit out of luck.

Last time I was in Russia, I got a local SIM card, but it was a pain in the ass. I had to get a local to get it for me and then let me use it. Now I have eSIM only that may be hard to pull off.

I'm sure you can rent marvel movies if that's all you want to watch.

Let me look....yup. Sure can.

So that's how you can get exactly what you want to watch and nothing more.

Screw the freeloader "fintech" companies.

Politicians with crazy blond hair are FUBAR machines.

Banks are financial infrastructure. If they break, they take lots of businesses and customers with them. I'm okay with lone failures, but banks have lots of hooks.Please don't gamble with infrastructure!

Yet the world's average inflation goes around 5%

Economists don't run govt's, moronic politicians do, and moronic voters vote them in place.

It was sane, post Brexit anything is possible.

I did test drive it, but that's the dealer, not the manufacturer. Due to GDPR they wouldn't be able to share it with the manufacturer, or retain it for longer than a few months (for speeding tickets etc to come in).

They could break the rules, but if it then leaked or I found out somehow, they would be in it pretty deep.

Must be horrible to walk around carrying all that hate.

Thanks. I try not to get my hopes up, but it does seem like I'm the last year or two we have moved closer on a number of treatments.

I tested my connection with fast.com earlier today.

It reported at 480 Mbps.

That's some test server in the internet, to my router, wireless to my cell phone as I sit in bed.

I pay $50/month, all in.

For another $5/month, for 10x the speed, I'd take it. Just because.

Try writing a complete sentence. Then maybe can understand what the fuck you want to say.

My mother pays over $100/month for cable tv. She is insane.

When I can get 350 plus channels for free from TCL+ ?

I've been watching for today and have not even seen a commercial, just no content 2 minute "breaks" between content.

Plus streaming services.

Then there is the antenna, good for another 50 or so channels.

Why anyone would pay for cable is beyond me.
