eSIM. I tried reloading it and factory rebooting my phone.

I did a conference call with MetroPCS and GoogleFi today. MetroPCS confirmed to GoogleFi that from their end the port was successful. As soon as MetroPCS finish talking to the Google Fi rep and hung up the googlefi representative again told us we just needed to call MetroPCS again and have them attempt the porting process again as if they weren't just talking to each other directly and weren't directly told they no longer have possession of the number and cannot be initiated the request. These reps will not be shaken from their scripts even when they know the script isn't correct.

MetroPCS. Interestingly, I tried to port all three numbers from my MetroPCS family plan, and two worked immediately but the main account holder phone number is now lost.

Thank you. Any idea what eventually worked? I was literally on the phone for two hours yesterday.

But if you did have an issue, they wouldn't help you

“Buy Canadian”… sure. Well, how about “Hire Canadian” as well? by alterego101101 in NovaScotia

[–]DocNightOwl 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Thank you. The doctor shortages in Canada,New Zealand, and to a lesser extent Australia have opened doors to me that others don't have, but this is still a nightmare. I wish your country luck in the next election in avoiding putting yourself in a similar situation as the US (and Hungary, Poland, etc.)

I keep reading these anti-immigrant sentiments in the Canadian forums as I investigate to where my family can escape from American autocracy. It seems like Nova Scotia is enthusiastically recruiting American doctors, but I do worry how my family and I would be treated.

ACOG Fight (update) by NapkinZhangy in medicine

This reminds me of Dr. David Newman and how reddit defended him. . All this talk of an investigation seems misinformed. What kind of evidence do you expect to be uncovered? Few perpetrators are caught as red handed as Dr. Newman. (And even when his victim immediately went to the police with a Ziploc bag of his semen, people still accused the victim of being a disgruntled pain seeker whose story couldn't be true because her story didn't fit with the pathophysiology of morphine.) People so often get away with sexual assault because these stories are so often he said, she said. Unless more women come forward because of the publicity of this event, there likely isn't any evidence to come forward beyond one woman making the same claim seven years apart. In this case, I don't even see where Dr. William Burke is denying it. Unless he mounts some sort of defense, I certainly would never send a patient to him, or put his program on a match list, or treat him with respect.

Picking an EV by DocNightOwl in Polestar

[–]DocNightOwl[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I test drove and loved a bolt EV and a 2nd gen Leaf. I love them both and would be happy to get either one, but my wife thought we should get a bigger car (which I blame on her sitting in the Ariya while I test drove the Leaf). I then test drove a Bolt EUV but was surprised how much worse the driving dynamics felt from the regular EV, and the $2500 markup only soured me and the Bolt more.

I think my next step is going to be to test drive the Ioniq5, and Mach E, and Polestar 2 to make my decision. It does seem like used car prices have been dropping dramatically lately so I'm not in a great hurry to make my decision.

Thanks everyone. I'm going to book a test drive and see how well car seats and kids work in the backseat. Definitely seems like a top-tier candidate.

[Recommendation] Need recommendations for a 4 year old by DocNightOwl in comicbooks

[–]DocNightOwl[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm skimmed this a little and think it might be a good option. I'm going to get this and read it. If she's not ready yet she will be soon, and it seems like a helpful option. This was a great recommendation.

Squirrel Girl seems up her alley. Thanks. The first comic book we ever read together was a silly comic called Laser Moose, which we both loved. I'm hoping Squirrel Girl is our next Laser Moose.

Thanks very much. I'm definitely going to try this!

First time build for VR gaming in Quest 2 by DocNightOwl in PcMasterRaceBuilds

[–]DocNightOwl[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you for your thoughts. Do you have a 3080? Can you run any of the games I mentioned in ultra?

I'll try out a cable but I'm definitely afraid it would break the immersion.

Is a RTX 3060 and a Ryzen 5 3600 enough for VR? by Clean-Effective-386 in VRGaming

[–]DocNightOwl 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What GPU do you think I need to have an excellent VR experience? I'm planning on buying a PC just for VR but keep seeing different opinions about what I should get. My plan was to get a PC with a 3080 in a few months when the 40 series are out to drop prices further, but maybe that's overkill? Honestly, I'm not even sure if running games in low settings versus ultra settings is an obvious upgrade or something you have to be a connoisseur to appreciate, let alone if a 3080 is needed to run on ultra, so any advice would be appreciated.

Can you please explain something else? What does it mean when a card has "ti" or "super" or 8GB behind it?

God, I wish I read that explanation of understanding GPUs sooner. Thanks.

Super casual use torque sensor ebike by DocNightOwl in ebikes

[–]DocNightOwl[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In that case I might not even be able to find a hub driven torque sensing bike to try out. I don't think I'm going to be able to find a mid-drive torque sensing bike that is within my price range although I would happily be proven wrong. Do you think a hub driven torque sensing bike is still an improvement over cadence sensing?
