would I buy this phone again ?

 

 For the original asking price I would never buy this phone. I would never buy any phone for $950. But for 80% off for a brand new phone it was a good deal. Now if the microphone problem keeps happening the phone is a paperweight.

 So far, the phone is faster than any phone I've ever had, the phone is brighter than any phone I've ever had, the phone is the same as every other phone I've ever had from Android as far as what I do with it. The camera is a great phone camera. It is not a digital SLR with some sort of incredible telephoto lens on it and then magically turning into some incredible macro camera by switching lenses. It is a great phone camera. Quite amazing actually.

 There is a long list of standard expectations these days. The battery lasts sufficiently long, the camera works great, there's plenty of memory, and the fact that the phone works on gsm and CDMA networks was a big plus. And there's a much longer list than this of all of our sometimes hidden expectations. But overall it's been a good experience.

 I really really wanted a 3 1/2 mm Jack and an SD card slot. But to get those features with the other features of this phone was going to cost more than twice as much. What's really bizarre is that the flagship phones are taking away the previously mentioned features and then charging more like somehow giving you less is worth more. Less is more get it?

pixel 2 xl , 3xl, 4xl

 I currently own a pixel 2 XL. At this point it is a 5-year-old design. It still gets pretty good reviews on the internals even for being so old. Apparently some of the progress has kind of slowed down. Processor improvements and even camera improvements are minimal. It took excellent pictures 5 years ago and it still takes excellent pictures today. Having said that the pixel 3 and pixel 4 are starting to come down in price quite a bit. So let's talk about that. The pixel 3 has some improvements but nothing major. The big thing that everybody points out between the pixel 3 and the pixel 2 is the screen. The pixel 2 screen is somewhat faded looking compared to the typical phone. It's still very sharp the colors are still in color and it works just fine, but really it doesn't look like something that used to cost $950. Still that's what they sold it for. So that alone really doesn't make it worth upgrading to pixel 3. The pixel 3 screen is slightly bigger but the pro...

spirits

  It's becoming evident that the planet is saturated in spirits and, dare I say it, demons. They really are everywhere. If you get an uneasy feeling, you most likely are under attack. They are real, it's not some psychological anomaly or left over distant frustration from your childhood.                                            

God

  Throughout my life God has been working to bring things about and make things available when needed. A while back my wife and I divorced after 33 years of marriage. Shortly after that she died. Throughout the entire process there were many many things that occurred that just came together. For instance an apartment just happened to be available the same week that it was needed. Then other apartments became available as they were needed. Without looking much. Also my company fired me shortly after her death. But they also insisted that they would pay unemployment benefits. This just happened to coincide with covid-19. So my unemployment benefits were more than normal because of covid. Also medical benefits were made available, which was unexpected. Then my car died and another car was made available at a rock bottom price. It was a great car and did well for over 70,000 miles. There were many other small things that came into play. It's really incredible to see how God does things...
