I assume you're looking at getting an eSIM rather than a physical SIM?
I'm good with either.

@loopback0 - looks like Three does something similar. I have no idea how good Three is vs. Orange.
My Merkin self and my brood will be in Europe next month - Munich for a day or so, then Switzerland for two weeks. Our mobile service here doesn't offer international roaming, but a couple companies (Orange, Three, some others I haven't heard of) offer SIMs and short-term plans through Amazon that I can buy and activate before we head Over There. Which service sucks the least?
Got a couple freedom lengths of snow on the ground, too.

@Benjamin-Hall considering what a mess media playback is in general, it's either this or something even less useful.
I'm just amused by the choices. You get nothing (for false, which kinda makes sense because

I got a greeting card there for $1 yesterday. I guess some things are still a short dollar, woo. (Fuckin' greeting cards are $6+ elsewhere, can you believe that shit...)

I heard it could be painful to be hit by those airbags. Have cap flying away is really no big deal.
Indeed, defective airbags have been known to kill people. Takata is one manufacturer that is especially notorious on that front.
In conclusion, we believe that the Covid outbreak on the Diamond Princess cruise ship, the supposed “worst case virus mill,” looks mild in isolation, and it looks very mild when compared to the first wave in New York City and elsewhere (e.g., Northern Italy). Testing data from the Diamond Princess arguably indicates that the severity may well have been even milder than generally believed, and clearly was of no danger to the non-elderly.
The Diamond Princess event should have demonstrated to officials early on that this was not a particularly dangerous virus to the broad population, and that it certainly did not justify unprecedented draconian measures on a population-wide basis.
Second, it is clear from the above discussion that something else beyond Covid or the spread of a respiratory virus was responsible for a significant majority of the “first-wave” excess deaths in NYC.
Third, more likely causes of the unprecedented excess mortality in NYC need to be considered, including iatrogenic harms, psychological effects, neglect, panic stoked by constant media propaganda, ill-advised use of ventilators and sedatives, and policies relating to residents in care homes. If these were indeed the causes behind the excess in deaths in NYC in early 2020, a tragic proportion of the deaths were avoidable.

ACHTUNG! German spotted.
Individuals with COVID-19 vaccination had a higher risk of all forms of retinal vascular occlusion in 2 years after vaccination, with an overall hazard ratio of 2.19 (95% confidence interval 2.00–2.39). The cumulative incidence of retinal vascular occlusion was significantly higher in the vaccinated cohort compared to the unvaccinated cohort, 2 years and 12 weeks after vaccination. The risk of retinal vascular occlusion significantly increased during the first 2 weeks after vaccination and persisted for 12 weeks. Additionally, individuals with first and second dose of BNT162b2 and mRNA-1273 had significantly increased risk of retinal vascular occlusion 2 years following vaccination, while no disparity was detected between brand and dose of vaccines. This large multicenter study strengthens the findings of previous cases. Retinal vascular occlusion may not be a coincidental finding after COVID-19 vaccination.
