This sounds slightly like the premise of the movie Paycheck. https://m.imdb.com/title/tt0338337/

Personally I mostly prefer the experience of doing things. Writing books, coding software, building things... They are what brings value to me on a personal level. Looking at the kids' playhouse in the garden brings value because I built it. Writing a book would mean something because I wrote it. If I just magically had it, it would be meaningless, even if it happened to be what I would have written, had I been arsed to do it myself.

    I'm not commenting on the black people, but it's honestly always such a bullshit take to say that something like lack of consistency in a movie cannot be ruined because it has supernatural elements. Like the actor complaining that people asked him why he didn't lose weight after walking for months, and he points to the dragons. Yes! There are dragons! They are part of Game of Thrones! A guy should still lose weight if he walks for months on a sparse diet! (Also not commenting on having immersion ruined because overweight dude remains overweight, only on the argument)

    I would love to move away from Google. However, Danish security apps require Google Play for security verification so it isn't viable to move away from mainstream Android and Google Play - unless it's to Apple, which is hardly better.

    Muffin
    Bluey
    Bingo <- you are here
    Lucky
    Bandit
    Chili
    Stripe
    Trixie

    I know earth might be more bluey than Venus, but I would love to live on Bingo. And we're kinda like fleas anyway so I think the theme is a good one.

    A leaker has claimed that the Pixel 10a could launch on February 17, citing retailer listings.

    They also assert that the 128GB model will cost ~$582 in Europe, while the 256GB model will cost ~$699.
