Ban smartphones and vaping and those chunky dad sneakers zoomers wear.

Parents are worse than their kids. At least kids drive better and can function. Parents are more apt to be rude.

That said, I get strange looks when I'm at a bar reading. Admiring ones too, to be fair. Bartenders usually ask what I'm reading and offer a variant on, "Wow, I wish customers wouldn't just play with their phones."

If I play with my phone at all, I'm on ILX.

This DOT study failed to take into account that if i am behind you on the sidewalk, you may get kicked up the ass.

two months pass...

My phone is somewhere inside an airport X-ray scanning machine. I have a replacement sim and bought a cheap set for now to put it in. But its locked to the network (EE). I didn't know this was a thing that they were able to do

I have another flight in 90 minutes.

Has anyone jailbroken a phone so they can switch networks? How difficult is it?
