Just received new old stock and I'll have to say this phone is pretty amazing.

Still trying to update from Android 10 to 13 (AT&T variant) but besides that, it's been a joy to set up.

I'm on my third generation of Galaxy Fold phone and I'm enjoying this phone just as much. It's amazingly thin compared to some of the foldable phones.

That small square screen is just enough to do additional scrolling and viewing.

I wish someone continued with this form factor opposed to the boring slab phones.

Any advice to give me? It's taking a while to figure out the Android updates (trying to use a prepaid SIM) but besides that, loving the experience.

Soundcore Motion+ was an early Bluetooth speaker that blew me away.

Out of the box, it sounded pretty vanilla. However, once you downloaded the mobile app (pretty novel at the time) and customized the EQ, this speaker came alive!

I felt like I was hearing new colors and sounds that I hadn't experienced in such a compact unit.

I bought a second to pair them together (again, fairly new technology) and I found my first battery operated mobile sound system.

Soundcore has continued to provide great speakers but never an updated Motion+.

So would you be open to Motion+ gen 2?

What other speakers deserve an upgraded model?

Assuming we'll get some new models coming out in the next couple months.

New features that might be coming out?

Auracast on more speakers? New mobile app speakers? Three way speakers on new products?

I hear Oluv is working on something?

If anyone has tea to spill, let us know.

Did you ever hear or use the term blue eyed soul?

If so, do you think the two terms are comparable?

If not, what do you consider different?

You're offered a gig for the evening.

The caveat is all the charts are in Gb/Cb or F#/B.

The two keys come as a pair. Some of the songs will be new to you and you'll have solos over a few as well.

Which would you choose and why?

There are songs I listened to when I was younger but now read differently to me.

Some are because I never paid attention to the lyrics. Others are because I was at a different stage of life or hadn't had deeper experiences yet.

Some examples would be Both Sides Now or Cat's in The Cradle.

What are songs for you that affect you differently at this stage of life?

Did you keep a diary growing up?

If so, I'm wondering if it was nostalgic or somewhat cringey.

Have you gone back and read some of your entries?

In regards to playing, like many sports, the higher level minimizes who is able to compete.

As a spectator, I find all three engaging to watch. I wish there were more commentary in College and Club though I understand the limiations. Just not as interesting to watch when I don't know most of the athletes.

Your thoughts on playing/watching College vs Club vs UFA?

Are there rules/formats that could benefit from being adopted if they're not being adopted?

I remember this speakers from decades ago.

Sounds like it's still around. Currently on sale for $650.

If you've owned or heard this, is it a good deal?

What makes this speaker worth that type of money?

Growing up these were the big three restaurants for pizza.

So have you heard of all of them and which was your favorite?

I was watching a video and they mentioned putting ketchup on eggs.

Memory unlocked. I haven't done that for years but I seem to remember that as a thing when I was growing up.

So did you used to put ketchup on eggs or do you still do that?

And are there any other food/condiment combinations that you did growing up but haven't done in years?

If you know, you know.

Without mentioning your net worth, are most of your friends and family in the same financial situation?

If not, how does it affect your activities, vacations, eating out, etc.?

Do you avoid more extravagant (or less costly) activities or do you figure out a way to make the activities equitable for everyone in the group?

Guess I'm showing my age but who gigged with a fender rhodes?

That thing was a beast to transport and move.

I guess the only thing worse would be gigging with a hammond organ and leslie.

Edit - Haha. Meant to say who personally had to load in and out with their band.

The other comments are appreciated as well.

Everyone remembers the iconic use of The Sound of Silence at the end of the Graduate.

But what other closing credit songs are drilled into your memory banks from movies in our youth?

One lesser known one for me is from Heroes starring Henry Winkler and Sally Field. Not sure if I already knew Carry On Wayward Son before this movie but it was indelibly associated with this movie after I saw it.

So what's your movie and closing scene song that you remember?

So fess up.

Most of us are decades away from high school.

What were the cliques in your school days and which did you fit in?

I remember the jocks, stoners, and musicians. I was in the last group. I'm sure there were the drama nerds and possibly goths but I never hung with any of them.

How about you?
