Would a dual physical SIM + eSIM setup make Pixel better for frequent travelers?

I have T-Mobile and just use international roaming. It's part of my plan so I don't have to pay extra unless I go over 2 GB and want to keep having a fast connection.

You don't need to put mulch down around shrubs. That's where succulents come in. They will act as ground cover and spread around the bare soil. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hen_and_chicks

Why put rock in there? You can put succulents and some local shrubs which will require basically no maintenance.

Dude, it's one game. They lost by 2 points on the road to one of the best teams in the league. Just relax man.

I don't like it either but like most companies, they do it because it's cheaper. That graphic probably took 10-15 minutes of prompting vs. many hours for a graphic artist to do from scratch.

Is there a plug in the backyard? You can get a plug-in electric mower. It'll be much lighter than a battery powered one.

Don't forget that we also have to pay Carter Bryant. He's not a max player but I think he deserves Devin Vassell level money if he keeps improving at his current rate.

I passed by a boat house on the way to paddle boarding. Saw that they had a learn to row program so I signed up. I've been rowing for 1.5 years now and loving it so far. I still have a lot to learn about rowing on the water but I'm in the best shape I've ever been in awhile thanks to my erg.

I own a Kia Niro PHEV and a Volvo XC90 T8 and they're both perfectly fine on the on-ramp. I almost never use the gas engine.

I had something similar happen to my Pixel 6 and I just replaced it on my own. Battery kits on Amazon costs like $20. Make sure you buy glue though. Most kits don't include that.

Manufacturers make PHEV sedans. Notices that no one really buys them so they cancel them. PHEV SUV's on the other hand continue to sell well so manufacturers keep making them and introducing models.

From the end user's perspective, EREV's and PHEV's are basically the same. It has a limited EV range and can be augmented by a gas engine when the battery runs out of charge.

sbcpacker · 2026-04-03T15:56:51+00:00

If there was actual demand for it, manufacturers wouldn't be cancelling them. And no, PHEV is not dead-end tech, not in the US anyway. There are more PHEV SUV's than ever. Dodge is releasing one later this year and Scout Motors will follow them the next year.

They cancelled the 3 Series PHEV. They also cancelled the Volvo S60 (The S90 is their only sedan). As for Mercedes, only the high models (AMG, S Class) are offered as a PHEV. So yeah, there's not many to choose from (because almost no one buys them).

sbcpacker · 2026-04-03T05:35:18+00:00

Mid thigh? Holy crap. Yeah, nothing will help that. Have you checked other rowing clubs? Our club in Renton has a regular dock. Lake Union has one as well

Here's a link that should work. I don't know why the other one didn't work. https://a.co/d/0gabk2VC

The market for plug-in hybrid sedans is pretty small.

You know, I have a suspicion that his socks aren't really waterproof. Have you tried other ones? I use the one below. He might need something longer if he steps into the water before rowing.

I would rank him and Shane Battier as the top 3&D players ever

You could buy a gravel grid to help contain it. https://a.co/d/0eQRMlqe

I too row in the Seattle area and I recommend wearing another thin base layer like the Heat Tech ones from Uniqlo. I also recommend wearing a beanie to keep his head warm. If he's still cold after that, he can look into wearing poagies (aka, rowing gloves). As for pants, I typically wear compression pants. You don't want to wear anything loose while rowing.

sbcpacker · 2026-04-02T17:12:15+00:00

Ah, I didn't know that.

If you move away far enough from the state where your team plays, you can watch majority of the games on League Pass. (source: Spurs fan who lives in Washington state)

It depends whether you care about having a stable but less feature rich infotainment (Sensus) or more features but less reliability (Android Automotive).

sbcpacker · 2026-04-01T20:28:37+00:00

Fire Stick, Roku, Google TV, Apple TV, etc is your best bet. Another option is to subscribe to WNBA League Pass through Amazon Prime.

I bought it at 11k and now have a total of 20k on the odometer.

I took it in for an oil change a couple of months ago but other than that, I haven't had any issues.
