Hey all,

I wanted to post to open up a discussion on your thoughts regarding materials used in a smartphone build.

In light of the Pixel 3a leaks, it looks like we are getting a high powered device at a lower price point due to the use of materials such as plastic instead of treated glass for the device exterior.

I'm a Pixel 3 XL user, and I have had the phone in a Google Fabric case since day 1. This is the first device I've kept in a case in probably a decade. Reason's being:

• Many reviews reported ease of scratching the large section of back-glass
  • I wear a wedding band and the notion of this phone touching my ring makes me shiver
• The glass is incredibly slippery. I pull it ou

I'm not sure if this is a new thing or not, but it's the first time I've seen it after continuous use of the news feed on Pixel 2 XL, and now Pixel 3 XL.

Google, don't be evil. Putting ads in the News Feed to me is synonymous with dropping them in the notification shade, or the settings menu. The News Feed is an operating system level feature. I should not be able to swipe right from my home screen and see an ad.

Not to mention, I have no interest in facial/skin care products. I have not searched for this recently, or anything even remotely like it. The ad is completely irrelevant to my interests. The Feed is already curated and desi

Noticed the little park at Henderson and Magnolia had been cleared out. Anyone know the scuttlebutt?

Anyone know the latest on the proposed boutique hotel supposed to be coming to Southside?

This is the most recent article I can find on it: http://www.the109.org/2017/03/01/new-hotel-to-be-built-on-west-magnolia-avenue/

Hey everyone. Trying to track down any leads on an affordable spot for a quality, live Christmas tree.

In years past, we would go straight to Home Depot on Hulen and get a great price on a tree we were always happy with. This year, we left a bit disappointed and treeless.

From there, we visited Ridgmar Farmers Market. Nothing too impressive here either.

Last we popped by Farrington Field. Saw some nice quality trees but the prices were just too high.

Tonight, we are going to roll by Costco because we've heard there are well priced, quality trees there.

Anyone have any other leads? We are specifically looking for Fraser Firs.

I haven't been able to find anything definitive on this after some time this morning searching.

Is there any harm in using official Nexus 6P charging cables/blocks for charging the Pixel 2 XL?

I may be being overly careful but since I unboxed the phone yesterday, i'm baby-ing it pretty hard!

Has anyone be able to use the new features that were announced on Oct 4th?

Personally, I'm waiting on pins and needles for "Routines".
