    Second phone number without getting a second phone?

    Yep. I ninja-edited my post to include this before you hit reply.

    Second phone number without getting a second phone?

    Your options are: - get a phone that supports dual SIMS/eSims. You may not have to spend a lot of money to get a recent, but not current model that supports this. In fact, your old Galaxy 13 did offer a dual SIM version alongside your single SIM version. That way you only carry one phone. -...

    I also did a thing!

    LOL. I wish. You're confusing me with the real F-n ballers on this forum.

    Nice! Congrats and enjoy the new ride!

    Second phone number without getting a second phone?

    Never had a phone with two physical SIM slots, but on my phone with one primary physical SIM and one eSIM, calls and texts came in on both numbers without having to activate/deactivate/switch-over primaries. You can choose which SIM to make outgoing calls on right on the dialing app:

    Except that it doesn't. This video is recent, only 2 years old: They still cancel too early (2:13) and sometimes do not cancel at all (3:40). Try it in your car, you will find that it's your own muscle memory from decades of driving that automatically and manually fixes the self-cancelling...

    Second phone number without getting a second phone?

    I use Fongo to maintain a Canadian number when we travel out of the country. Only works if there is data. There are certain rural areas where only voice networks are available, then Fongo/Google Voice/Skype Number/etc. will not work. Fongo does have voicemail, so callers can leave a message if...

    I don't see anyone arguing that leaving your signal on isn't safe. Auto-cancelling tech doesn't work all the time. It will cancel early when you don't want it to. That isn't safe. It won't cancel and you won't know it. That isn't safe. You can't just take one use case: "It will eventually...

    Why, why, why,

    Auto-cancelling turn signals a safety feature? Dunno about that. I've owned many bikes from different manufacturers and almost all of them have had them as stock. NONE of them work 100%. Maybe 85% of the time they function the way they are supposed to. They are not infallible. To me, that's...

    If we ever owned a dog, I'd 100% get a hack. Doesn't matter which brand, it's going to ride like siht anyway...

    Poor Service and Questionable Inspection Standards at GP Bikes

    95% of Harleys ever made are still on the road. The rest of them made it back home.

    Also these as well: Serves double-duty as rear indicators and a reminder that your signals are still on.

    TwinPegs anyone using them?

    A couple of good videos on why "adventure" boots are not good off-road riding boots: My Go-To for the longest time was an old pair of Alpinestars Tech 8. Good crush protection, limits over-flexion of the ankle and good lateral support (won't fold in half sideways). Unfortunately, they were...

    Why, why, why,

    Feel the same. But everyone's red line is different. For some it's cruise control. Others it is electrical start vs kick. Or EFI vs carbs. Personally, for me, the riding experience is the most important thing. If the bike rides and handles the way I like it to, I don't care how you turn on or...

    Transalp review

    100% I took one out for a ride and was going to do a write-up on it, but realized I had zero nice things to say about it, so I skipped the review. The suspension is terrible for off-road. Too soft and the bike doesn't track where you want it to go in the rough stuff. Horrible handling, easily...

    Who's riding?

    Another nice weekend. Headed out to the lower mainland for the 2nd weekend in a row, this time all the way to the coast. Did the Sea to Sky highway all the way up to Lillooet, stopped at Whistler to take my obligatory Inukshuk picture: High of 25°C, but a low of 5°C up at the summit of the...

    Poor Service and Questionable Inspection Standards at GP Bikes

    A lot of Harley dealerships are like that - won't service older bikes. Seems kind of strange, since they haven't upgraded their technology since the 1940s...

    TwinPegs anyone using them?

    Never tried them, but I did have arch fatigue (not the same as leg muscle fatigue, I know) when I wore regular riding boots, as they didn't provide a lot of sole support. I moved to MX boots with a metal shank in the sole which gave me a solid platform to stand on. Perhaps this might solve your...

    Buy a shredder AKA Scam minimizer

    My dad hasn't met an e-mail attachment he hasn't felt compelled to click on. My regular visit to the parents includes fixing stuff around the house and regularly de-lousing his computer of viruses, malware, keyboard loggers, etc. On his most vulnerable accounts, I enabled 2FA and use my own...
