Comment Re:eSIM was never about customers (Score 1) 87

Lets be real, not everyone is wealthy. Some of us have cheap plans with little support and old phones. Swapping a sim is way easier then posting to a forum looking for a method to move an eSIM to a different phone and those same people don't travel.
It's a K shaped economy with 80% of people falling behind and trying to save money so just because for the 20% eSIM's are great doesn't mean that no one benefits from regular sim cards.

If my phone dies, pop out the sim and put it in my old phone and continue on. When my wife is having problems and we're not sure if her phone or carrier, swap sims and test (it was the carrier). When her battery weirdly died, swap out her sim into my spare and continue on.
It's not worth having a more breakable, I mean thinner phone to lose the sim tray.

When the stop lights go out driver's negotiate amongst themselves about who will proceed thru the intersection, and with no driver to handle that negotiation, perhaps stopping is the correct response - other drivers can navigate around the car.

Around here and I assume everywhere, when the lights go out, traffic is supposed to fall back to the 4 way stop procedure. First come has right of way, when more then one, the vehicle to the right has the right away. Hopefully these cars have been programmed for 4 way stops. Or perhaps they don't exist in California.

Wives radio/alarm clock died, replaced with another $20 one. It is surprisingly complicated to do anything with it as it only has a couple of buttons and had to keep the instructions and refer to them to do basic things like set the time or tune in a station. Fucking volume is also in discrete steps and too low or too high.
At least could add a button battery to it and it has survived a couple of power outages without losing time. The old one took a 9v battery and kept terrible time without the 60Hz signal. Fine for a short outage but sometimes the power is out for 12 hours+.

President may not be a king but is surely acting like one.

No, he is acting like a dictator. I have a King, he's job is to sign papers that are put in front of him. He can also advise, counsel and warn about those papers but at the end of the day, he signs.
The tradition for a King who acts like a dictator is to remove his head, though for the last 300 plus years, simply removing him from the throne or in one case, declaring him unfit, has been standard.

Canada's population is dropping due to limits on immigration. https://www.cbc.ca/news/politi...
Rents have also been dropping, though still too high. https://globalnews.ca/news/114...

Wasn't too long ago that the war with our neighbour Denmark was settled. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/...
There's also Saint Pierre and Miquelon, our French neighbours who are only 10 or 19 km's away from Canada, with the 19 km the distance to Newfoundland and Labrador.
