I'm on a Pixel 8 Pro and I am sticking with that for now. I don't think the iterative upgrades the 9 series offers justifies the price. And naturally, a lot of places are putting the 8 series on sale, so it's an even better deal if you can find one. The 9 series internals are barely upgraded over the 8 series. And in typical Google fashion (if you end up sticking with the stock OS) many of the exclusive 9 series features will come to the 8 series eventually. The only real reason to get a 9 series phone is if you really like the hardware design. The increased ram on the 9 is mostly for the Gemini stuff they are pushing, and the rest of the general specs are almost the same as the 8. Yes of course it's a new generation so the processor is "better" and whatnot, but not to a degree where in real world use, would you notice the difference between the 8 and the 9. Again, most of the internal improvements are targeting the AI stuff that all companies are pushing for.
TLDR: Save your money and get an 8. It's mostly the same.
Actually that 15 bean soup has a few lentil varieties in it already.
Also look up Tuscan bean soup, that's a good one too.
And of course a hearty chili WITH BEANS because that's the best kind of chili and I'll fight anyone that says otherwise.
And for a dessert treat try Japanese red bean soup. It's a great winter dessert.
All memes and jokes aside it's really good stuff if you can find it at your local grocery store. It has a recipe on the back and comes with the seasoning in the bag. Just add meat and some veggies.
Full Metal Jacket.
Best war movie and best Kubrick movie of all time.
This is how The Last of Us starts.
Don't forget, the doctor diddles the protagonist too.
Tokyo Xtreme Racer
And thankfully, they just released a teaser for a new one so I guess my wish is going to be granted!
Milo and Otis, Toys, and The Goonies. Watched those 3 movies a thousand times.
Don't give Elon Musk any more ideas please
Cyberpunk chainmail breastplate
Nexusmods. Don't want to pay for it so it's the least I can do.
I'm related to Jesse James (the old west train robber, not the TV guy born in the 60's) so that's pretty ripe material for a documentary if one hasn't already been made.
I'd say definitely. The first useful thing I printed was during the pandemic where all the paper towels you could get were those z fold ones you see in office building bathrooms. Suffice to say, most people don't have a container at home for those types of paper towels, so I mocked one up that was like a home tissue box and printed it out. Saved myself 80+$ on making one instead of buying one on Amazon (also they're all wall mounted and I didn't want to do that)
Since then I've printed toilet paper roll holders, plant pots, catch all bowls, insulated drink holders, tie racks, jewelry racks and boxes, all manner of things I use almost every day, and I've learned about 3d modeling as a result (not really good yet but still) so win win.
Edit: I'd say at this point I've definitely printed more than how much the printer costed in terms of things I use. Printing mini figures and scenery for tabletop games alone has exceeded the cost it would have been to buy that stuff.
Yes I have an fdm and a resin printer, but they've both got a lot of good use and yes absolutely worth it.

I ran out of brain but maybe I'll add more when I wake up.
Problems with UI after exiting a game
I’ve tried to search around the web for this issue, but recently, (sometimes) after I exit a game and get dropped back into the steamdeck UI, I can’t click on some interface elements. If I go to a community tab and click on a post, nothing happens, some UI elements like the search bar don’t register as well (but they make the sound when I try) but worst of all, many of the menu options, specifically the power menu, I can no longer click. So of course, I can’t shutdown or reboot without doing a hard shutdown. Anyone else experiencing this lately? On the latest stable build as of this reply. I’m fine with switching to beta but I don’t want to break DeckyLoader, which tends to happen on the SteamOS beta channel.
Edit: the only workaround i've found so far is to add Konsole to the steamOS as a launchable item, then go into Konsole and type the linux command for rebooting: sudo shutdown -r now
