the story is on point and has such energy, it should be called PowerPoint. I gave up after 3mn and still felt like I wasted my life. best anime ever! 10/10.
Chinese (Mandarin or Canto) is just a bad language for a variety of genres. It's basically restricted to ballad. Legit every Chinese song I've heard sounds at least 70% similar which is quite high in my book.
The ballads do sound good though even though they're very similar.
Good thing my Evo doesn't have a sunroof...Nice.
Just got another safety recall notice for the evo, this time the adhesive used for the sunroof is dodgy so the glass can just pop out while driving. The first recall was a faulty turn signal stalk...(oxidation on the contacts or something)
A bit of a pain but new sunroof glass yay?
Hi, new here! (o・▽・o)
Anyway, when you choose to revise for an (ahem) exam while listening to songs sung by a character on the character's birthday...

Depends how rare it is.I just drew tears of joy from acquiring a Limited Ultra Rare .jpeg of a Chinese cartoon character. Do I need to seek mental help? I mean, I'm happy and all, but this doesn't seem right for a grown man such as myself.
The Nokia 7 Plus looks like a good mid-ranger.It seems the warrenty on my phone is over. The guy who looked at my phone claimed the battery is dead and he'll charge 130 Canadian cuts to fix me up a new one.
...
First small problem: it takes less than 5 seconds to pop open the back cover and remove the battery, which costs about 10 to 20 bucks with shipping included. 130 dollars to pop in a battery on a phone that I can buy for about 200 dollars...a bit of a stretch for me, especially when local hardware repair stores are willing to open phones and tablets to replace a part, something requiring at least some technical knowledge, tools and a bit of risk to it, for a fraction of the price.
Second: there's nothing wrong with the battery. Been charging just fine, and weeks perfectly in all my phones when charged. The person fixing it will probably open the phone up and do a full diagnostics anyways, but for 130 dollars, I'd rather run the risk of doing it myself, so I decided to decline that offer.
I wasn't there in person as the phone wasn't my name so I don't know the exact details. I suspect either the person was pressured to give an assertive answer on the spot and have a standardized explanation for the kinds of situations or just didn't get a clear explanation on the phone's problem. Might have just wanted is to pass the phone into the hands of some specialist with the right tools for a checkup.
My contract for this phone ends in about 7 months, but they offered to let me renew it after this month is over. A very generous offer, as nothing really changes for me in terms of payment while I do get to choose a new phone. Compared to a year ago, the current "$0" phone options included with my plan is a lot more interesting. Need to decide on one before the 25th.
Kinda eyeing the Sony Xperia XA2 and the Huawei P10 Lite at the moment, but that's because I haven't looked up much about the phones yet and am completely out of touch regarding these mid range devices.
Other choices include the Samsung Galaxy A5, iPhone 6 (want an android device though as my 5s works just fine), Samsung Galaxy XCover 4, LG X Power 2, LG Stylo 2 or 3 Plus and Sony Xperia XA1.
Any suggestions/insights/screams of frustration at my ignorance? :3
