I didn't even know we could get a gram of anti-matter, cause don't they make it proton by proton, and they also don't exist for that long?

Though just because you can see such fine movements doesn't mean you can react fast enough to stop it. You'd just see your loss coming from a mile away.

I had the same question about a year ago and after trying out a few gift sites, settled on giftster.com.
It provides everything the amazon wishlist did, but allows you to add items from anywhere on the internet without a fuss. It works well enough that I was able to convince my entire family to move to it, which is a real victory.

In my experience, boxes are usually empty, or maybe with a little cheese stuck to the top. And one time, pepperoni. What a day that was!

And also seeing bi/pan as separate options. I'm used to seeing them combined.

I agree, Walz, start being unsafe. Show us what we want to see in a candidate.

A game asked me if I was a boy or girl, I chose girl and have since committed to the bit.

Any move away from opiods is a great step for medicine. Not just in that they are addictive, but also that they do not work on a sub-set of the population.

I'm currently on the market for a new phone and I see stores selling a Pixel 8 for $500.
It's on the higher end of what I want to pay, but I see it has extended support over the Pixel 7.
I also see the Pixel 8a is $400, which is a nicer price for me, but since my plan is to use the phone long term, I figure the mainline model has sturdier build quality. There is also the upcoming Pixel 9a for $500, if I'm willing to wait and get the cheaper model branch but with the most modern features.

Can someone with experience using these phones help me pick something? I've never owned a pixel and looking online it seems like they each have their own issues to contend with. But I like the custom rom support I see for these phones that would give it a far extended lifetime over most other brands out there.

EDIT (Dec24):
Thank you everyone for your opinions. I saw the support for the Pixel 7 and decided to buy one on swappa over the Pixel 8. And since support for the pixel 7 ends in less than 3 years, I'll probably install GrapheneOS right off the bat. I also did research on Sub-6 vs mmWave as I saw both models were offered and decided on Sub-6 as the more practical technology. Looking forward to this.

Writing has never been Borderlands strong suit, and I don't expect it to get any better. The story will be bad, the dialogue will be bad, the jokes will be bad. They hit gold once with Borderlands 2, and never again. Will the gameplay be good? That's the real question.

Once again, I hate that I'm cheering for Liz Cheney.
