I'm leaving for Japan in two weeks and debating whether I should keep my current iPhone 11 or upgrade to the 17 for international data access. For context, my current phone is locked via AT&T, meaning I can't swap out SIM cards at all. As far as I've researched, the iPhone 17 is eSIM-only, which could be an easier set-up if I get it locked and use international eSIMs from the get-go. If I want to use a Japanese eSIM, though, I'd have to get it unlocked. What would be the better option then?

Canada PR vs USA H1B visa. I am on H1B in USA with a good job and I have a Canada PR which I thought of using to get more stability in life but as I am running out of time on Canada PR it’s making me anxious if I should stay in the USA or move to Canada. Can someone share their experience if faced the similar issue?

de Blaiso says we’re on track to hit orange zone of restrictions post Thanksgiving which means no more indoor dining among other things.

The metric they are using is % positivity rate.

My question is this - is this a fair metric and if not what is a better metric to compare if it’s getting worse and we need social controls?

Hot take: for better or for worse, the pro-Israel bipartisan consensus in the US is going to come to an end this decade. I don’t see how the next generation of the Democratic Party in any way is going to be so pro-Israel.

Please throw sm light here.

To the lender counsel that forgot to mention they needed original signature pages for a deal that closed early this year and decided to chase and harass me a day before thanksgiving and a day after thanksgiving multiple times. F*ck you. I don’t know what is driving your lack of courtesy but I have represented the same bank before and know their usual original signature requirement.

I’m pretty well traveled in general and do just fine alone, but a different alphabet certainly makes things harder (if translations aren’t common). Female if that makes a difference.

Planning a trip to Rome and Naples with day trips to Tivoli and Pompeii. Is 1 week enough? I feel like reading through 3/4 day Rome and 2 day Naples itineraries, the trip seems rushed. I have unlimited PTO but my SO is limited in time (but luckily he can work extra hrs and then use less PTO). I would say max we could do is 1.5 weeks but adding on 3-5 more days seems almost too much? Thoughts? For reference, I did Venice-Florence-Rome in a week and it seemed okay but it also wasn’t as planned out
