    My wife and I each got a Pixel 3 together and used those for years. My wife's 3 had the battery bloat and needed replaced, so she got a 6a and it was inferior to the 3 in so many ways. She has had it for a couple of years now and it has so many problems.

    I kept my 3 when she had her issues. I replaced the battery in both my 3 and her 3 (to use as a backup). My 3 finally started to show its age this year and I got a Pixel 9 and it basically exposed just how bad that 6a has been. With your story, either you and my wife were unlucky or maybe the 6a line just wasn't very good. She has issues with GPS and various other applications she uses on the regular that never have any issues on my old 3 or my new 9.

    I'm currently reading The Thousand Autumns of Jacob de Zoet by David Mitchell. It's not something I normally would read but I liked Cloud Atlas quite a bit, so I thought I'd give another of Mitchell's books a go. So far I'm digging it.

    I loved Fallout 1 & 2 and have played each 4+ times but it took 3 separate attempts for me to get through FO3 just once. I enjoyed New Vegas but didn't even bother with Fallout 4 or 76. That said,...

    That said, I'm pretty excited for this and hope its a good time. I really like the energy Walter Goggins brings to roles so I'd probably watch it eventually for him alone even without the IP.

    Or, at the very least, as of 2015 she has a navel.
