Depends on your local laws and such, but in most European countries you can get a prepaid SIM card for a couple of euros/pounds/whatever at any supermarket, making them practically free. If you need a temporary number for a scammy special offer or any situation where your number is publicly visible (Gumtree, etc) it's a no-brainer IMHO.

If your phone suppprts running two SIMs at once, it has two IMEIs so as far as the network(s) are concerned it's two distinct handsets unless they deduce otherwise.

A fun aside: years ago I did some work for a small phone company (the company was small, not the phone) and they gave me a SIM with 100 numbers in a block and access to a portal I could manage them with. Sadly, I forgot to pay the annual £10 renewal fee.

Wow. For real, I always just assumed that .com was the commercial arm of .org. Holy shit.

Edit: So, for anyone curious, .com is owned by Automattic, who also own Tumblr, Beeper, PocketCasts and Buddy Press. The WordPress project and .org are owned by the WordPress Foundation. Automattic makes some contributions to the WordPress project but they and the WP Foundation are seperate.

Funny that in the UK, Adult Swim never aired animé to my knowledge, and there was very little handover; it just went straight from Ed, Edd and Eddy to Aqua Teen Hunger Force.

It's a shame they never made any sequels.

Ever.

Shut up. No. They didn't.

I've never heard of this movie but based on your comment I'm guessing it's about checking yourself for testicular cancer?

A yes, Labyrinth staring Jennifer Connelly, Jim Henson's creatures, and David Bowie's magnificent pouch.

Yeah, being the slightly dangerous uncle is a pretty sweet gig, NGL.

 

These water fountains flow constantly with fresh drinking water for anyone to use and they are everywhere in Rome. Covering the spout with your finger forces the water out a hole on top, creating a arch of water at perfect 𝓼𝓵𝓾𝓻𝓹𝓲𝓷𝓰 height. The Romans were/are with us.

 

The apartment blocks - two of perhaps a hundred - are surrounded by open greenery, wide walkways and dense tram networks. Most of them have café bars, bookstores, grocery stores or the like on the ground level and loads of benches, play areas and exercise equipment dotted about. The place is rife with Third Places.

The remarkable thing about these is that, to the locals, they seem fairly unremarkable.
