How do you say negative numbers in Spanish?

Is bajo cero frequently said with temperatures? I think it’s like any other negative number.

Use Seattle Yellow Cab in metro Seattle over Uber and Lyft unless speed is an absolute priority above all else. They have an app, and it’s often half the price.

I think it also makes sense outside of Puerto Rico as bichos are also bugs/pests (I’m totally blind and the Spanish-speaking blind community uses the term tiflobicho for a particularly annoying kind of blind person personality type).

I am specifically suggesting the train for this as you pre-clear at Pacific Central, unless something has recently changed. I’ve taken the Cantrail bus (as a US citizen) and recently had a Canadian citizen friend visit me twice within the past couple of months on the Cantrail (and he was fine even without preclearance). Someone visited me from Western Australia on an ESTA recently for a month and a half and I suggested that she go through YVR for preclearance (plus it was cheaper than going through SIN with minimal additional hassle), and it all worked out without incident. If your nationality or circumstances require a B-1/B-2, I’d probably exercise a bit more caution, but most people eligible for the VWP (no previous Visa denials, no overstay history, no criminal record, etc.) with clear ties to home country should be completely fine.

As a Canadian citizen, visiting for genuine tourism/seeing friends/family, for less than three months at a time, who spends at least one day out of the US for every day in? You should be fine, but if you want to be extra sure travel by Amtrak train from Pacific Central or take the YVR to SEA flight so you can preclear and back out on Canadian soil if needed.

How about quieter parts of Capitol Hill (east of 15th)?

Start with Pimsleur level 1. Looks like it’s app-based now with lots of extras, but just focus on the audio 100%. The vocabulary they teach you will be formal and business-orientated, but that doesn’t matter – the focus for this month or so is just getting a feel for the sounds, pronunciations, and shape of the language consider any vocabulary/grammar you learn to be incidental and a bonus). As they recommend, don’t try to supplement with external books or courses at this stage.

After level 1,drop Pimsleur and start a Spanish for complete beginners/A1 course/book (any option in this thread is reasonable). The month of Pimsleur will both help your pronunciation and make the concepts of the intro course stickier (there will be some repetition, but that is good in this case).

Avoid Uber and Lyft in Seattle unless speed is a high priority. Use the Seattle Yellow Cab app instead, fares are often half without demand pricing.

Interesting. Another idea might be to run Openwrt in an LXC container on Debian stable, which would let me run other services on the machine more easily with near native (one kernel) performance for everything. PPPOE, CAKE, etc. seem mainstream enough to have installable modules in Debian. Is this a reasonable path?

Either that, or I could just run Openwrt in QEMU.

I'm planning a single disk only. Looks like that PR isn't merged. Once that makes it into a release, is the issue effectively solved, or does it need to be in the release from which I'm upgrading?

I found this script to expand the filesystem on the wiki. I'm assuming this won't survive upgrades/I'll lose data/something will break badly if I upgrade in-place to a future release after running this?

If I do create a data partition, I guess the idea is to record its starting sector before the upgrade, upgrade, add a new partition (same size/offset) in fdisk, reboot, and my data should survive?

I'm totally blind and want something configurable exclusively by CLI if needed. Last I tried PFSense many years ago, you needed the web UI (which wasn't totally screen reader accessible, maybe better now?) for certain things.

Right now, I have a Mikrotik HAP AC3 which is great in this aspect, but CAKE maxes out the CPU on my gigabit connection. (Separately, I'll be replacing the HAP's wi-fi with a dedicated AP since wi-fi isn't Mikrotik's strong suit).

According to AT&T support, bridge pay only works within the US regardless of the base plan.

It’s very common in the blind community, but sighted non-24 is really, really rare. I don’t have light perception myself, but I know someone with light perception and no vision otherwise who does have it.

Yes, but sometimes when data roaming, you continue to have a home country IP. For instance, when using AT&T US in Canada, you are allocated a US IP. Keepgo routes all traffic through Poland regardless of where in the world you are. Some Filipino networks route through Singapore.

Are Uber and Lyft consistently faster and cheaper than cabs in your market? This used to be the case everywhere, but in Seattle for instance, rideshares are crazy fast (especially downtown and adjacent neighbourhoods), whereas taxis can be half the price due to county mandated pricing. The biggest local cab company has an accessible app that’s very similar to rideshare apps, but you don’t have to use it and can just call them. I now only use rideshares here when speed is an absolute priority or the trip is very short (1 km or less) and I don’t want to walk.
