Not that I care, but there’s a funny contradiction here. You don’t consider Unihertz a trustworthy brand, but you do (or did) consider Ulefone a trustworthy brand? Even a cursory, 30-second search for Ulefone doesn’t find anything good to say about them aside for the novel hardware. Did they have a better reputation at the time?

Not that it matters or anyone cares, but just so you know the expression is “champing” at the bit. https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/champing

The gas prices out here are bonkers. I changed my commute to VTA light rail + Caltrain and a lot of walking just to avoid filling up so much. Definitively makes the commute worse compared to driving, public transit is messy and inefficient here, but gas prices are close to double what they were pre-war (at cheap stations like Rotten Robbie at least).
