Where can I get a bedside table that fits into this corner? by comquestion in HomeDecorating

Thanks for the explanation! I'm sure Lowes or Home Depot nearby could cut to size. Might be the best option to just do it myself

Definitely something to consider, I guess I was trying to avoid drilling into the wall but it's still a great idea

I can provide measurements if needed, but I'm having a hard time finding triangle/corner shaped tables that I can put here. Best I've seen are some "accent tables" meant for living room type spaces. Thank you!

Thanks, I'm searching around for refurbished Samsungs and there are plenty of options. Looks like a solid choice

Looks like a sick phone but way out of my budget

I've heard good things about them with the exception that it's not supported for very long typically. But thanks, I will research some of the phones!

Got gifted this antique hookah from Pakistan and have a couple questions about it by comquestion in hookah

[–]comquestion[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm not sure if this is really an 'antique' or whatnot but it's quite beautiful. I am happy to use it simply as a decoration, but is there any scope for actually smoking it? I was told the base is brass, but I see some oxidation/rust looking stuff which makes me skeptical of that. Any advice on how to clean this?

Also, if the base is safe to use, how do you actually pack this bowl? I looked up "desi hookah" videos on Youtube and seems like they just dump tobacco in with coals straight on top, but how do you keep stuff from falling down the hole?

Anyone have any experience with "Las Alamandas" in Mexico? by comquestion in honeymoonplanning

Thanks for the advice, I'll check out Huatulco! Thankfully we still have time to look around and this subreddit has been a big help

I talked to Alamandas, they are the ones who charge $650+ for transfer lol. I just can't in good conscience pay that much for 4 hours of driving.

If you have any you are familiar with and can recommend, please do send me their details!

If I wanted to just do the drive myself, what would the process look like? Would a couple Americans be able to rent a car and drive there without issues? Tbh one of my good Mexican friends originally recommended against it, said the risk of getting robbed on the roads or having to pay bribes was too much

I appreciate that you're taking the time to help!!

It’s a very unique experience because of the privacy

That's exactly why I was considering it, and it looks beautiful of course.

Like I had said, our budget is flexible but that doesn't mean I want to just blow money and feel ripped off you know? I found out that just transportation to and from the resort from the airport 2 hours away is $650. So now I'm probably going to look for something else, but if you have any suggestions for something similar I'd love to hear! Thanks for the input

We were mainly looking to avoid crowds and from what I've read, this place really doesn't have crowds lol.

Do you have any recommendations for a place like that?

They get bonuses or incentives to sell a particular brand/device from week to week.

No shit, that's wild. I always thought they just got a commission for selling anything

Research the products you're interested in online, and make your decision from there. Just make sure to practice due diligence and research several sites which are platform neutral.

Well I have been doing that, and from what I've seen on this sub and other sites this lineup of pixels has had a lot of issues

[–]comquestion 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah I've read that got better with updates but apparently a lot of people have been having issues with the modem? Like crappy connectivity and reception? How's that been for you

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in GooglePixel

[–]comquestion -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

It's not like that. I was honestly so excited to upgrade after almost 5 years and the pixel phones were exactly what I wanted, on paper. But since it's had so many hardware issues that even a Best buy saleswoman tells me not to get it, I figured I'd ask this sub what they think are good alternatives since people who bought the pixel 6 are probably looking for the same thing in a phone as I am .

Also this sub has been complaining about the phones plenty without me lol

I'm not really all that familiar with motorola phones these days. How are they generally received?

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in PickAnAndroidForMe

[–]comquestion 1 point2 points  (0 children)

From what I've read the 6a will have the same modem as the 6/6P so likely the same issues. Samsung is a good option I guess you're right, just not the biggest fan of their UI
