+1 I obtained a local SIM, in 2016 in Porto Alegre. Just the once since travelling with a mobile phone became the norm. I don’t recall using my phone very much beyond where local wifi such as lodgings was accessible, or tapping into restaurant or sauna or bar wifi where available. It’s usually a question of dark mode a few hours at a time. Obviously, Google translate functions in ‘roaming off’ mode. $18.40 for the Canada plan 00.00-23.59ET. Alexander Graham did not anticipate sales tax. Post-pandemic I have undertaken the ‘Airplane mode’ challenge fairly successfully as I had at times previously accepted the full Bell communications tasting menu with post travel blues then augmented by seeing the racking up of telecommunications racket charges for the sake of usually very minimal use out and about. This winter so far I have managed to slay it over a cumulative period total of 6 weeks abroad. Just one $18.40 charge in all that time because I needed a final WhatsApp exchange out on the street for an appointment with a guy who I realize had given me an incomplete buzzer code, not matching the buzzer building panel, when I looked at the array of specific apartment codes and I did not want to press the wrong one of three selections that it could have been. This delivery man of donations always rings once. In this case the Bell fee turned out to be well worth it. A wise decision as he later demonstrated his understandable sensitivity about drawing neighbours’ attention to guest traffic. Surprisingly, I found that Google Maps showed my exact location most of the time without local SIM or activated roaming in cases where I wanted to check I was walking to a destination in the correct direction. Usually having a few map screenshots in my Photos file was sufficient for guidance. Yet my strategies did little to reduce the sneering of a wealthy but frugal friend in my age group who does not possess a cell phone and travels abroad successfully. He may have to break down one day and sacrifice the final word.

It’s an example of analysis paralysis, an oversimplified and indolent way of getting off a seemingly endless and irreconcilable hamster wheel of disagreement about who owns history, the narrative of the past, how and where to display it and its tangible physical representations. In a way, not unlike the construction and attempted implementation of law related to the oldest profession. Never to be settled. Perhaps the intent is to lay down the foundation of a reset, yet it doesn’t have the feel of a new day a new dawn, that very much in terms of productive next steps will unfold other than a pattern of certain objects trickling back to origins in some fashion. How do you re-curate all the vast collections spanning millenia?

Gigolo Erotic House; stripper/gogo/dancers with some small private lap dance areas, usually an overlap with the masseur trade downstairs; I believe same management. Hit and miss. The hottest guy from a year ago graduated up to Theatron. Recent example of lineup:

Now that’s raisin awareness to new heights. I’m a fruit that would have had to start very young and break the piggy bank, but there is the advantage of priority boarding access if aged whining finely enough.

He is not currently explicitly available through the usual ad site routes. Was in London. Not my cuppa. Tipping him on Onlyfans may get his attention.

Dribs and drabs of ambiguous reporting suggest grievous sexual assault injuries sustained over a day or more following nuptials (akin to “gang rape”), hospital admission, and death by septicaemia (the word “infection” is employed by hospital staff; distinct from context of husband’s assertion of diseased damaged goods) a few days later. It is unclear whether pills were conventional PDE-5 inhibitor drug, “uppers” (not trying to be funny) intended to enhance general energy, or some local home remedy that would be unrelated to a predilection for violent behaviour. There was some immediate dust-up about ownership for treatment payment. Hard to say whether there are unfortunate ‘cart-horse’ health system dynamics that undermine urgent care, though appears her brother was prepared to undertake the required costs, private hospital, etc.

I don’t have a little head for figures.

Including that the first swig accompanies entry charge and the top comes offed, unscrewed.

Sinophobic discourse is a thread running through all western regions tending towards “othering”. Of course this trend surfaced more this decade, as exemplified by pandemic finger-pointing and driven by political ideology, including Brazil (see appended), yet one hopes this surge is well behind us. However, being an east Asian tourist won’t be a problem for you. It’s all the other cautionary stuff. https://www.researchgate.net/publication/376727804_Made_in_China_disinformation_and_Sinophobia_on_Facebook_during_the_Covid-19_pandemic_in_Brazil/fulltext/65857f490bb2c7472b01570e/Made-in-China-disinformation-and-Sinophobia-on-Facebook-during-the-Covid-19-pandemic-in-Brazil.pdf?origin=publication_detail&_tp=eyJjb250ZXh0Ijp7ImZpcnN0UGFnZSI6InB1YmxpY2F0aW9uIiwicGFnZSI6InB1YmxpY2F0aW9uRG93bmxvYWQiLCJwcmV2aW91c1BhZ2UiOiJwdWJsaWNhdGlvbiJ9fQ

Agree. There is no reason to panic about having assignations thwarted. The motel I have used also didn’t unlock the reception exit unless I ushered my ‘guest’ out in person after the session. The room was modern and very nice. I disagree that one cannot determine Airbnb guest policy ahead of booking. They are written or absent. I do agree that it is wise to communicate intent to host a friend for quiet drinks/dinner but not “party” events and that you wish to view any guest policy prior to booking, not be presented with new regulations at the point (usually 24-48 hrs) detailed check-in instructions are released. This inquiry may raise eyebrows but may help you to disqualify the more rigid host. The majority of hosts recognize we don’t live in a social vacuum. Nationals using the platform would, in fact, be expected to host friends because that would be the primary reason for renting the place. Hosts just don’t want noise complaints or damaging wear and tear.

I think the jury was presented with the notion of culpable homicide, intentional and negligent without regard for serious risk of harm. What could qualify it as murder would be the position that while pursuing an unlawful goal the accused causes death that they know could conceivably occur notwithstanding a preference for not causing bodily harm or death. Not premeditated or planned but intentional, hence the default of 2nd degree. An adult would be expected to know that striking a child at a crosswalk at the accused’s gratuitous pursuit of unlawful pedal to the metal speed behind the wheel of a death machine and flinging him 250 feet away would extinguish him; that is almost the distance of a 100 metre athletics race and probably as fast. Naturally, she would be hoping for no such obstruction while behaving recklessly and selfishly. That said, holding to the lesser charges of manslaughter would not seem outrageous and one wonders if any single juror may have objected in his or her mind yet wished to circumvent a ‘hung jury’ stalemate. It’s not a stretch to assume that the case dynamics would downregulate any dissenting juror’s confidence in certitude regarding what may have seemed like splitting hairs. My sense is that the jury is instructed to transcend consideration of sentencing and obviously cannot influence or forecast satisfaction with the justice of a manslaughter penalty.

Otherwise lose your bearings on the unchaperoned walk home from Meryton.

Like a hybrid in a sense. I cannot put away all the items on a typical tasting card. I am not a big eater and drink very little alcohol. This was smallish palate-teasing bouches to start with a flute of sparkling; may have been Thai vinyard as I know that I had a few glasses of nationally produced wine over a number of weeks. Mains all arrived at once, equivalency to a large entrèe. Dessert light and refreshing, a first for me wrt that fruit species. Most days my nutrition intake was a few bucks, geared to requirements over hedonism, as that’s my playbook. Go large occasionally, though admittedly Brioche From Heaven at Chong Nonsi BTS wouid subvert all health goals if in my home city.

Now that is the definition of pedestrian.

I know it seems extravagant to finish twice with sweet Thai menu pretzels.

Aaah … that explains the Patpong Dept Store displays, one for Songkran, the other for everyday drab that’s useful for concealing drooling as well as accidental mussel salad drippings.

A pleasant walk up from Mandarin Oriental, this meal was terrific.

The winter weather is so frigid that the main source of the Feenstra frostration has been an authoritarian Russia-imposed freezing of their bank accounts containing their life’s work farm sale proceeds. It is likely that they would now, though grudgingly, trade off an acceptance of the occasional rainbow flag flapping in their rural southern Saskatchewan community for access to a permafrost-mitigating generator grinding away at their district’s Wells Fargo outpost.

Can’t the expat forum fact check or be logical? The article indicates that a crackdown on LGTBQ+ rights has “complicated” the plan. Why would that defenestrate the Feenstras since the ideologies don’t mismatch? What actually transpired in the toilet misunderstandings?

Bye-bye hiatus. Hello ‘hi, ate ass’. Go git it!

I hope you feel more than mostly better soon. I don’t bother with SIM cards and pretty much just tap into lodgings’ wifi weeks at a time. Very rarely incur a carrier roaming charge and only then out of necessity; my plan costs $20 daily even if I just nullify airplane mode for an instant. It’s more economical to catch a meal and tap into venue internet. However, I think 117 does have wifi and you can ask staff to enter the password and it should load each time you return but only in certain areas of the building. Gregora Arte across the street will release their password if you dine there. Parenthetically, the food is good. Similarly, if you loiter a bit in front of their patio without entering you can catch the signal. But it’s consistently my haunting grounds a few blocks from accommodations so YMMV on the plugged-in needs spectrum.

Is it just me or does this not come across as plum sad at such a young age, notwithstanding personal autonomy and the realization that I just myself inserted a values judgement. Assuming it’s cosmetic, speaks volumes about the unfortunate trend of body dysmorphia and the difficulty of influencing those subject to it. Looking in the mirror at any age and feeling humiliation or anxiety about life’s natural course is the story here. I hope he doesn’t subsequently bear a greater burden of the inevitable debt we all pay the piper.

Canada just shit the sleigh bed on one component of HIV testing options, with a stated decision to cut funding for a federal long-standing sophisticated self-admin rapid test program. Seems counterintuitive given the global-by-2030 containment goals. I’d been able to walk in to a uni campus down the road for a kit, or have the same thing mailed to a remote region Canada Post depot where summer cabin is located. I can certainly afford to purchase the one licensed product from the manufacturer but many folks, often marginalized or skittish about visibility, benefit from the no-cost and the staffed infrastructure access that includes a thorough educational component and stated contingencies for confirmatory necessity hinging on test results.

Make sure you thank him for having attentively noticed your consumption rate, sending floor staff over to you making sure you didn’t need that extra bebida or a microwaved frozen pizza. Allegedly. Then encourage him to bring in talent that inspires one to cover multiple sequential cabin lets and added refreshments for hires. But, sure, a brothel trade broker gets into the business for the precision of merchandise tallying and the associated reputation of it. 😉 If you’re nice and polite about checking the tab, like we typically do at restaurants, etc, perhaps it really doesn’t matter what ‘tude we perceive with often a queue behind us.
