I’m planning a photography-focused trip to Ottawa in mid-May for the Canadian Tulip Festival, mostly around Commissioners Park and the Rideau Canal. Been wanting to do this for a while, and this time I’m bringing a full setup, including phone, camera, and an iPad so I can quickly go through shots and maybe do some light edits while I’m out. One thing I didn’t expect to think this much about is connectivity. I’ll be outside most of the day, probably in pretty crowded areas, and I’m not really counting on public Wi-Fi in parks. On past trips I didn’t care too much, but this time it’d be nice to at least transfer photos or share a few things without waiting until I get back.

I’ve been going back and forth between getting a local SIM after landing or just using an eSIM. Recently I saw Redteago has a 75GB Canada plan, which mostly caught my eye because it also comes with a local number, which seems like it could be useful. From what I can tell, things like Canada-wide coverage, native IP, and local number are bundled into that plan, but I’m not totally sure how much those actually matter in real use.

So just wondering if anyone’s used an eSIM in Ottawa during something like the Tulip Festival. In crowded spots like Commissioners Park, does the connection generally hold up, or does it start struggling once it gets busy?

Hey everyone,

I’ve been trying to figure out which forex brokers in Australia are actually worth using right now, and honestly the amount of mixed info out there is a bit overwhelming.

A lot of websites just throw together rankings without really explaining much, so I’d much rather hear from people who are actually trading in Australia.

From what I’ve gathered so far, ASIC regulation seems like a must for safety, and things like spreads and execution speed seem way more important than I first thought. Also looks like some platforms are better if you’re trading on mobile, while others are more built around desktop setups like MT4/MT5.

What I’m looking for is a solid ASIC regulated broker with low spreads and consistent execution, a good mobile app since I’ll probably trade from my phone quite a bit, easy AUD deposits and withdrawals, and something that’s simple enough to start with but still good if I get more serious later.

A few things I’m trying to figure out:

What forex broker in Australia has actually been the best for you? Any trading apps that feel smooth and reliable day to day?

Do you think it’s better to stick with the classic platforms or go with newer app-based brokers?

And what kind of red flags should I be watching out for, like fees, withdrawal issues, slippage, stuff like that?

I’ve been trying to figure out where sports betting is actually legal in the U.S., and I keep finding mixed or outdated info depending on where I look. Some sites say it’s legal in a bunch of states, others mention restrictions, and I’m not sure what’s current anymore.

Is there a simple way to understand which states fully allow it versus ones where it’s only partially legal (like only in-person or only certain apps)? Also, are there states where it’s still completely banned?

I’m not trying to do anything shady, just want to understand the landscape and what’s allowed where before I go any further

Thanks in advance!
