You can find it cheaper if you keep an eye out. My partner just got one for £250 unlocked, no contract

I am not super studied in nazi symbology. I learnt about this symbol in high school history class btw. It is not a regular skull and crossbones anymore than the iron cross (which y…

I've been experimenting with aerospace for the last month. Still not sure if I enjoy the tiling aspect. It can get quite janky on occasions when multiple windows open at once. And …

Thanks. I think that's some unaffiliated website btw. While they seem to have provided sources for most of the stats, MAU is not one of them.
