    I make typos all the time because my screen is too small. That's my story and I'm sticking to it.

    There is a "Big Keyboard" app for Android but it comes with its own interface. I can't give up my bog standard interface and relearn how to use my phone again. I really am not interested in that and have no energy to put toward learning it.

    I want to buy a Pixel 10 Pro XL.

    But I want to wait until I've moved because everything I need is on my phone, I want to buy in the future after there's been at least one it not two significant price drops, and I don't want to make that kind of purchase until I've moved to my new place, I've bought a mattress set to put on the floor, and I've had time to think long and hard about my finances.

    This is a good phone. It's a Motorola. It's worth keeping to me because it has my contact information and all my legal in documents. It has an OLED screen with a high ppi count. I had a Motorola G and it made my eyes hurt. It might have been an indulgence but it had to go.

    The battery will start refusing to hold a charge one day. It always happens. I'd like to have my first flagship phone (especially looking forward to glass back, better water resistance rating, much better camera, and porcelain color (white color). I've always liked white phones.

    I think the timing might come together and it might be more practical.

    I'm becoming more and more conservative as the days move forward. /Tangent

      We don’t do a lot of driving here, even though Staten Island is the most car-dependent borough. I would like to get back to the point where I would use my bicycle for short trips to the pharmacy or post office.

        I'm going to drive like a very conservative, very competent, very cautious old man.

        Too many liability issues. Too many safety issues by far. Too many financial issues.

        I love cars and driving but I'm too old to drive as a hobby if you know what I mean.

        Been there, done that.

            I forgot to check the corner Shell station; last I looked it was $4.99. But I bought gas last week in the neighboring county that has lower gas taxes, so I paid $4.69 but I had points for 50 cents off, so $4.19 at Kroger. I’m planning my next Costco run to coincide with my next fill up.

              Went out to do Easter dinner shopping this afternoon and filled the car with gas. $4.69 for 'plus'.

              The industrial revolution cheapened everything.

                It’s $5.09 at the corner Shell station (my usual fill-up spot, with Kroger points to knock it down.)

                  $4.35 for regular at our local Costco, but I see $4.09 at the suburban ones.

                    I paid $3.799 about ten days ago at Costco; it's $4.259 today. Costco is anywhere from a dime to a quarter a gallon cheaper than other stations.

                    Then you factor in the 5% cash back for using Costco's credit card to buy gasoline from Costco (vs. the more typical 2% cash back using other credit cards); of course don't forget to amortize your annual Costco membership fee.

                      It's reached $4.29 in central Florida.

                        Diesel ⛽️ seen at £1.99.9/litre
                        Thats nine quid a gallon.
                        Though much of London has it around 1.85.

                        Of more concern...I drove into a petrol station in Barking and only one pump out of the six had diesel remaining! People are filling their tanks.

                          @bernard 89? I'm assuming that's what's recommended. Outrageous $.

                              on the other hand, I went to the grocery store this morning and every variety of eggs they sold were available for $.98 a dozen.

                              I believe that is lower than last year…

                                Yes and the data probably show six million Americans will now have to take the bus to buy them.

                                I'm expecting inflation and terrible real life job market fundamentals to engulf the US economy and sooner rather than later.
