I do. It's been an upgrade for my family in Southern New Hampshire. I'm not sure what happened but for the longest time Verizon had the "best" coverage. By that I mean not atrocious; every other carrier was awful. Something changed coincident with their 5G rollout, Verizon coverage significantly declined. We switched to Mint and we couldn't be happier. My family is on wifi the majority of the time so we can roll with their smallest plans. We probably cut our bill down to 2/3 of what it was.

One hint, if you travel internationally, don't use Mint's international roaming credits. It doesn't work a lot of time. Buy local ESIM coverage. There are apps for that.

K8s all the way. That's the general consensus in the industry. Swarm is not popular in comparison. My company sells a product in two flavors, SaaS and On Prem. Both run on K8s. We supply Helm charts and whatnot for On Prem installations (including in private cloud). There is good demand for K8s skill in the labor market.

Tough one. I really love my everyday pen, a Pelikan M400 in tortoise brown. Grail, maybe a Visconti Homo Sapiens Bronze Age.

Advertising clearly does work on the whole or who would companies spend so much gold on it? Advertising shits in your head. It subtly influences consumers and advertisers have become quite sophisticated about it. There is a glut of advertising space available now so we see awful and ineffective ads but be assured a lot of the bigger players know what they are doing. This is why I block all ads. Well for that reason plus they are annoying as hell.
