Quoting myself from last month’s minirants for context

> I somehow cracked my phone screen, think I sat on something while it was in my pocket, which means the event i was working at the past couple of day was essentially volunteer work as the paycheck will go towards a new phone instead of _anything_ worthwhile 😡 + the work to set it up for new phone, too

Last night I finally had the opportunity to finalize my research & figure out which phone I wanted (Pixel 10 series)…& it appears that Google doesn’t have any in stock; guessing they discontinued it because the 11 is already out, but it’s not much of an improvement for more $. BustBuy _may_ have them online but not in local store & I was hoping to do the switchover this weekend but eff them; especially if I need to get it online from them so that leaves me with either ebay for a 10 or get an 11 from Google; either way, I don’t think I’ll have it for this weekend.
