Help me pick a new Phone.

I am torn between the Google Pixel 8 Pro, I phone 15 Pro Max, or S23 Ultra. I am coming from a fold 4 and have an opportunity to upgrade. No complaints about the phone, just looking for a change.

I am US based, and have t mobile.

Please let me know what you would pick and why

737 v A320 and LLCs

Hello all:

I may be wrong, but it seems like low-cost carriers seem to buy 737s over A319-320s overall. I am thinking about southwest and ryan air specifically.

Is there something specific to Boeing or the 737 in terms of operations or pricing that causes this?

Hey anet, I was wondering if anyone has ever shipped a car in the United States? If so - who did you use? I am working with a broker named amerifreight, and am somewhat leary of them. They offered me a quote for a price for about .60 cents a mile.
