  So like .06% of light speed?

  I didn’t look it up to verify, but I think I read that Michael Gambon didn’t read any HP stuff outside of his lines so he winged everything.

  The hairstyle is to make it easy for their helmets to stay on their heads

  I’m thinking of moving to a no contract plan once my current contract is up.

  I used a Nokia Flip phone on Tracfones network for a week to test getting out of that ecosystem and also away from smartphones in general.

  All-in-all I was impressed with what you could do with a flipper and a $20 a month plan.

  $80 is definitely a high price. If you buy a GBC from eBay or Craigslists etc on any given day I’d expect to pay around $80.

  However, if you’re monitoring market places like Facebook or Reddit, you’ll come across them for like $30-40 by people who just want to get rid of them. It might take a few days of waiting to come across one but it happens regularly you just have to be quick and have multiple payment options ready.

  I’ve bought a few GB-GBAs recently and I’ve never paid more than $45 for one. I probably average $30 or $35 because I buy multiples.
