Hi
I am currently using an iphone 12mini purchased in 2020 with AT&T. I have already paid for the model, but I am paying $60 monthly for the Unlimitied plan.
I am not sure if this plan is cheaper.
My iphone12mini has recently lost battery life and I would like to change to an iphone16pro or iphone16 and
if there is a plan that allows me to change at the same time at a lower cost, I am considering changing AT&I am not particular about T.
If anyone has any information, please advise.

I am on Spectrum after trying all the cell phone companies.

$30/month for data, text and unlimited. The antenna is the same as Verizon's so the cosmetics are definitely better. I can recommend ！

#3 As Jasmin said, Verizon is the best Network.

Verizon → AT&T → h2o → Spectrum → Mint → Having switched carriers to Tello,

h2o, Mint and Tello are slightly inferior to AT&T Network and a bit inferior to Verizon.

Verizon has better 5G coverage and Spectrum is the best choice if you want to replace your iPhone 16pro with a higher spec.

If the private pension you are talking about is really a private pension, it would be best to contact the company.
If it is a social security benefit, the details will vary depending on your age, credit, etc. Please contact the company at https://www.ssa.gov/で調べるのが確実です.

Discrimination against men ？ Paranoia ？

I have been intensely self-loathing lately. Consultation. Recently, there are things that really disgust me. Everyday I see news of sexual assaults by someone in Japan, and even though I have done nothing wrong, I feel as if I have to feel sorry for myself just because I am a man. I think there have been many incidents like this in the past. It is absolutely unforgivable. I think the world needs to change somehow. But there are many decent men who have nothing to do with such things. ？ Maybe I'm paranoid, maybe it's just my imagination ？ Maybe I'm overthinking it, but I feel like I'm being discriminated against in a terrible way just because I'm a man. And on top of that, I think men are at a great disadvantage in this world of appearance supremacy. Even men look at men in that way, so it must be even scarier for women. But I am also afraid of men because I know how dangerous ？ or discriminatory they can be. I am often horrified when I see terrible news about men, and I have a man in my life who is not a bad person, but who says and does things that depress me. There are no women who are like that. When I see them, I wonder why some old men are so annoying. It makes me want to hit something. Is this a common perception that is happening to everyone now ？?

Certainly, in the news from Japan,
"A man is killed by a woman he doesn't know..." and
"A male employee at a nursing home..." "A male employee at a nursing home..." etc. There are many crimes committed by "men" in Japan. But it is precisely in times like these that
I hope you will remember to be yourself and live your life with dignity.

I am planning to buy an epilator from Ulike, but I wonder if it is better to buy one in Japan or in the US ？

I live in the US, but every summer I go back home for 2 months and have plenty of time to spend there. I have a lot of time to spend in the U.S., so I was wondering if it would be better to buy in the U.S. ？. If I buy it in the US, I don't think I will take it with me to Japan. It is simply because it is a hassle to bring it back home again.

I don't know about voltage and such, so please let me know if you have knowledge. Thank you very much.

Is this what you call an electric hair removal machine?

Alexandrite Laser hair removal machines

Please google the above English text. This would be like putting one of your shoes in a travel bag.

Maybe, the voltage difference between 100V (J) and 120V (US) can be ignored.
However, if it is a 120V product, it might work a little slower in Japan. It is a little.

I checked amazon, there are many manufacturers.

Sorry, I was going to delete the topic because there were no responses, but I couldn't get it to go away.

I'm thinking of buying an epilator called Ulike. I'm in disbelief because I haven't received any response to my inquiries from Ulike in either Japan or the US, but with Amazon, it's https://a.co/d/alCYhV7です.

I think it would be a good idea to buy it over here and bring it to Japan, but I really want to keep it to only children's textbooks to bring back home. I don't think there is any mention of voltage, but maybe I am just not good at reading.

Mao Mao,

＞ Buy it here and bring it to Japan

Voltage in Japanese homes ： 100 Volt: East Japan ： 50 hz West Japan ： 60 hz

Local ： 120 (110) Volt: 60 hz

The demonstration video on Amazon.com shows a thin white cord leading to the main unit. This means that the AC outlet (120VAC) on the wall of the room is dropped to about 12VAC (or rectified to 12VDC), a low voltage to avoid electric shock, through a small transformer. In other words, even if you pick up and hold the main unit once it is immersed in water at worst, it should be designed so that you will not get electric shock.

Therefore, it can be used with either 100 volts in Japan or 110V ～ 120V in our area without any problem. If by any chance you are electrocuted by using this device, please pass the funeral expenses on to me. :)

Really, rents in Los Angeles have been rising year after year ！ Looking at 2025 rent prices, for example, a one-bedroom apartment in Santa Monica is priced at about $3,250, in Koreatown about $2,500, and in Torrance about $2,300. There are considerable differences by area, but the overall trend seems to be one of rising prices. If rents continue to rise at this rate, it will become increasingly difficult to choose where to live …. What area do you live in and how much is your rent ？ Also, are many of you considering sharing a room to save money ？?

Property prices （ on Zillow and other places ） are rising quite a bit right now, but many of you have been living in your current places for a long time ？ and are getting much cheaper rents thanks to rent control. I mean, moving now would be quite expensive,...

Certainly, the rental market in Torrance is quite inflated, with sites such as Zillow showing current rental prices in the $ 2,100 to $ 4,800 range, especially for larger properties and in popular areas.

In many cases, those who live in properties where rent control is applied are able to pay relatively low rents, but if they were to move to a new place, they would have to pay rent in line with current market prices, which would be a big burden.

Hello, excuse my first post.
I am staying in Waikiki on a student visa.

Thankfully I get a lot of food from my family, but
I am alone and can't eat it all. （ Snacks, flakes of fruit, etc. ）

Are there any places in Hawaii where we can donate food to charity （ for free ）, etc. ？
I would appreciate it if you could tell me where I can give such things away. I would be happy to know if there is any such place.

I once gave fruit to a homeless person
who followed me to my neighborhood
so I would appreciate it if you could give it somewhere less direct.

Thank you very much.

McCully, there is a food donation container at Oliver Baptist Church, but
it looks like you can only drop it off on Sundays during services.

Please contact Oliver Baptist Church.

You should not refuse. It is a favor, and if you refuse, there will be bad rumors.

All they can do is play pool and play in the ocean every day ・ ・ ・

It would be helpful if it is in central Waikiki, but even if it is a little far We would prefer to stay in the center of Waikiki, but we would like to stay in a place that is accessible by bus.
Free or low cost would be helpful ？

Just next week at 5pm is when the Fall program starts rolling, and the popular ones will be on waitinglist if they don't roll soon.

I added a few explanations that were a little lacking.
Open the Website, select Your Parks and choose View Activities.
There are many parks, but not all of them have activities.
This may be a little confusing, so if you have any questions, please post them again before the enrollment starts.

I have started to organize my personal belongings due to moving.
I have several thick albums of photos of distant relatives. In the old days, people did not store their photos on PCs or cell phones as we do now. The photos in the albums are discolored yellow and do not come off cleanly.
There seems to be some way to save and dispose of old photos on cell phones, but the amount is too much 、、、、
I can't just throw them in the garbage, and I am wondering what I should do. What do you all do?

I have removed the photos as cleanly as possible and saved them in case you want to see them. It certainly tears well.
I threw away the album because it was bulky. I put it in the trash as usual. It is the same as throwing away books.

I still have the photo album I got when I graduated from elementary school.

This was the era of black and white photos, of course, including junior high school ones. Oh no, I miss them all.

A little before the baby boom, but there were many students in one class ！

About 60 students.

All of them were born a year before the end of the war, but there were very few classrooms.

My father was drafted into the army, but his family was rich and he had a car license, which was rare in those days, or

he was assigned to the automobile corps in Japan. Thus, it seems that he was not likely to die in the open.

And I am still alive here in the farthest land. I am in good health.

Though I am getting dim.

I want to use Kamaaina Price and am looking for a way to make a Hawaii photo ID.

I don't want my US driver's license address in another state to be my home in Hawaii, so
it would be difficult to get an ID from the DMV.

If anyone knows how to get a valid Hawaii ID other than a driver's license, I would appreciate it.
I also have an address （ house ） in Hawaii.

If not for myself, I have a 10 year old child and I am wondering if I can get an ID for the child as well, but I am having some trouble getting two sets of documents needed to prove residency.
If anyone has had a similar experience, please let me know how you handled it.

Since RealID was created this year, I don't think you can use kamaaina from two different states. But you can look at the government website and inquire if it's not possible.

I tried the same thing in June as I was on summer vacation and visiting another house in Hawaii from Seattle, but to no avail.
I was clearly told that the kamaaina discount is only for Hawaii residents and not for people from other countries or states.
I was also told that the most recent proof of residence document is not acceptable, and that they have become even stricter this year.

I also have a vacation home in Hawaii and my residence is in NY.
My driver's license is still in NY, but I recently obtained a Hawaii ID because it is convenient.

If you have a vacation home, you can easily get proof of residency ？ ？ ？
There are plenty of documents to show HOA fees, property taxes, utilities, internet, etc. ？ ？ ？ Or maybe there is no payment in your name at all. ？

It is difficult to get an ID without a statement in your name even if you are a Hawaii resident, as is the case everywhere in the US.

Since you said it was other than a driver's license, the State ID information is below.

You can check the required documents yourself.
There is also Limited Purpose State Identification which cannot be used as Real ID.
This may be enough for the Kamaaina discount

You are right. You can only get just State ID.
You cannot get a double ID because you already have a Real ID for your NY driver's license.

If you don't live in Hawaii and own a vacation home, property tax is also very expensive.
I pay a lot of tax to Hawaii, so it's natural to get at least State ID.
