How do I find people who don’t drink while I’m traveling?

I don't drink while you're travelling. It's my annual sober spell.

SIN airport in Singapore is 41 years old.

LAX is 95.

None of the 95-year-old buildings is still in use (except for storage or historical purposes).

"Modern" LAX was built in two bursts: the 1960s and the 1980s.

Honestly what I don’t understand is why some on this sub have such strong objections to Cloudflare.

I am concerned about them being a technical SPOF for much of the internet, and there is the possibility that some hitherto unknown long-term persistent data gathering infiltration is able to sweep up a massive amount of information. And maybe they will turn malicious? Who can say? There's plenty of precedent. How long between when it happens and when we find out?

I wouldn't plan for 5 years - the market is going to evolve as voice disappears and eSIMs become more widespread and competitive. Better to focus on something that works for you now.

I wouldn't say Istanbul rates compared to Delhi and Hanoi (or much more, Saigon). It's downright orderly and calm in contrast.

Came here to post this. Surely tops the list on overwhelmingness. Even the crazy cities in India are gentler.

I have one with a US SIM card that has an international plan. It's USD$20/month with Simple Mobile. I can't place or make calls.

You could switch to Tello and get that down to $5.
