I bought a used Huawei Mate 10 for $470 in June 2018 and still use it as of September, 2021; Its performance holds up well. For its specs, I can run apps and games without problems. The latter does make the phone heat up at times. Apart from the heat...
In the name of civic duty and national security, I had registered for the COVID-19 vaccine as soon as it was made available to my age group. Unfortunately, the centres near my home were unavailable during selection. So, I resigned myself to going to the next closest area which was...
Isn't it intriguing that healthy folks can exercise their freedom and choose to reject vaccines?

Regardless of whether you live in a terrarium or ecosphere, you probably already know what one is. So, let me present my terrarium to you after attending a Virtual Terrarium Workshop conducted by Ricky Lim...
Located at The Rail Mall, BlooiE's Roadhouse is a bar and a restaurant serving food of the grilled and fried variety. The Girlfriend and I patronised its premises some time ago. We sat outside and downed beverages that would make people spill state secrets if they drank one too many...
I turned all my academic writings to draft mode as I could not figure out how to hide them from the blog links. Category excluder plugins work to some extent, but they do give me the output I want. I hope that I do not need to mess around with...
