It's time for a new thread of the week, our way of recognizing forum members for promoting valuable discussion here.

Every weekday yours truly posts a morning briefing, including the most popular forum threads—that is, the posts with the most replies—for the previous 24 hour period. For reference, here are the briefings for the past seven days:

A quick heads-up that there won't be any morning briefings or threads of the week for yours truly for the rest of this month. My partner and I are taking our first international flight since COVID, to mark our hopefully triumphant return to Japan!

If you're wondering about the generic-looking logo at the top of this post it's for Ubigi, the eSIM we'll both be using for local data. $17 USD for 10 GB for 30 days is considerably cheaper than the $16 CAD per day that Bell would charge each of us to access our home data abroad. Fingers crossed that it actually works...

Whatever the case, it'll be back to business as usual on Monday, May 1st.

A quick fyi that there won't be any morning briefings or threads of the week for the next 15 days; yours truly and the missus will be taking in the wetter, slightly warmer weather on a winter tour of Vancouver Island.

The highlight of our trip was going to be storm-watching over the beaches of Tofino, but right now it looks like the Samsung Smart Tags in our luggage will be the star of the show — we just got word that our one-hour layover in Vancouver is now negative-five minutes thanks to a flight delay, and it will be most interesting to see if our bags make it with us all the way.

At any rate, I'll be back at it on the morning of Monday, February 20th. Happy Valentine's Day!
