I've owned 3 pixel phones and have loved all of them. Wife has owned 4 different ones and they have been all perfect, no complaints.

I get so much Temu spam that I finally gave up and decided to check them up. I compared 3 random items that the spam in Instagram was about - exact same items were 3x - 10x cheaper on AliExpress than Temu (~0.50 on Ali, ~5.0 on Temu, ~10 on

Move to a different country. I'm in an EU country and it's really rare to see a company do any background checks at all. Be honest, if/when you're asked about it of course - but just from personal anecdotal experience, i

I remember reading articles about the Silja Line ferries needing repairs all the time. But that might have been an issue with the specific models and not an indication of hydrofoil reliability in general.

You are not wrong and we are in agreement! :) Trains bring more "these kinds of kids" to the mall vs private cars. Nice weather brings more "these kinds of kids" to the mall as well (compared to stormy weather). Now, whe
