If their sizing stayed the same as the '09 Spring line, the XL is just a tad big but the L is too tight until summer when I thin out about 10 pounds naturally from the heat here. I have really broad shoulders and an old man's gut.:rolleyes:

Yeah I know what you mean. I have a couple Small polos that I can get into, but lately I've bought exclusively medium sized shirts/jackets, etc. I find that in the last few years, Nike has been pretty consistent with their shirts and sizing. I know I have some Yonex crews from 2014 that are sized small, and they fit me like a large, yet I bought Stan's French Open polo from 2015 in medium and it fits me like a true medium, so just weird with the sizing across different brands I guess.

I have Yonex crews from '10-'11 and even the XLs are tight. They also don't handle high heat/humidity nearly as well as fedr gear.

Wednesday was my 68th, so I bought 3 packs of Maruschan Noodle cups for 32 cents each, one CD Poly SS L T for $2.99, and one Shasta 64 oz RootBeer soda for $.99. Since I got a Red card, I got 5% off my purchases. Happy Birthday!.
 
I just bought a new Galaxy S3. Why? Because it takes a custom ROM build that is my favorite Android version ever. I configure it with a custom firewall app, and prevent any app from dialing home unless I let it.

Also, bought a new copy of The Smalltalk Design Patterns Companion for a steal.

I've been enjoying Android since I switched at Christmas.
I have a Google Pixel XL, which already had the bootloader unlocked, so rooting and installing a custom ROM took all of ten minutes.
Finally having proper ad blocking on mobile was worth the switch.

Good for you, good sir!

What ROM have you installed? Just vanilla Android? Look into Android Firewall or something similar. I've been using "demo" versions of a few apps for some time, because I block them from dialing home and locking up. Not to mention the increase in security.

I initially installed ElementalX but switched back to vanilla. A large part of why I rooted in the first place was becuase I just didn't like not having root access to a device I payed a lot of money for - like Google didn't trust me with my own hardware or something. :mad:

I fully understand why you or others may be, but for me personally I've never been overly fussed if some of my activities on the regular phone apps are sent back to the developers. I feel that there's no real way of stopping that from happening at some point, and it's just not worth the trouble to try and stop, for me.

For me it's more a question of controlling what's going on. Some of the apps you can get in the Play Store ask for permissions which they have no business asking. It kind of makes you wonder what some developer in China does with that information.

Because they belong there being **** and all?

No, seriously, who told Apple that this "new" superduper "fancy" aluminium body is worth **** when it is slippery as a bar of wet soap?

:cool:
Yeah, aesthetics need a backburner shift there. The only solution is to Batmobile the things. The little kickstands are handy.

Nice! I've got a Pixel, also rooted. I've been an Android user since 2010 with the HTC Desire and I have to say the Pixel/Pixel XL is really an amazing Android phone.

Air Suspension is bad option to get in an SUV because it will eventually leak and that means big, big money for the owner!
Crazy, innit? Luckily, he was able to DIY for @ $430 incl. 1-day Ship/Tax on Part or like you say, 3-4 times that for dealership. No cakewalk to do, but satisfaction is priceless.
