Mga manufacturers kasi hindi na gumagawa ng mga case para sa specific model nasa tatlong taon pataas. Kaya ako, kapag may bagong phone ako, bibili ako ng tatlong case at tempered glass bago dumating ang mismong unit

Yeah. In hindsight I should have gotten an extra case when I bought the current one back in 2020. But honestly, I didn't even think I'd still keep using the phone until now.

It's called pragmatism. If you're going to solve a problem, might as well provide a good one that's not going to make things worse. Take things into account and realize that sometimes the best solution is to just implement policies.

Besides, this particular issue is more of an issue with a specific subset of motorcycle riders. And the main problem is caused by two types of riders: those that didn't prepare for the weather and would only start wearing weather-appropriate attire once it has started pouring, and those that are literally treating EDSA as a temporary parking lot to wait the rain out (as they don't even appear to have a jacket nor a raincoat). Do we really need to provide infra when the alternate solution already lies on the riders?

That's where I got my current case back in 2020 but all they have now is just the tempered glass.

Imagination won't solve it when most of the EDSA sidewalk isn't even up to code for pedestrians. The only places where it can be potentially accommodated are the areas where there's not a lot of pedestrian traffic or there's enough space to accommodate both. And one motorcycle on an average EDSA sidewalk already takes a lot of space.

Medyo wary ako dun sa cheap looking cases due to bad experience. But you reminded me that I actually still have that Spigen case on my cart. I was still holding on the possibility that I could find it locally but I might end up completing the purchase at Amazon.

Huh? Hindi pa ba policy na yung the fact that they're penalized for not using the road for its intended purpose? And I'm talking about infrastructure to provide shelter to motorcycle riders. Or are you suggesting that riders should be able to use space intended for pedestrians?

It would be near impossible to set up infra that can accommodate motorcycle riders, especially at EDSA. And these riders are actually causing unnecessary traffic. I've seen them create bottlenecks at the Santolan and Ortigas stations.

My main phone (One Plus 6T) would be 5 years old by December. And I still don't feel like replacing it yet. Problem though is that I can't find a good protective case for it now that the current case is slowly falling apart.

TL;DR:

Teddit is an open source software intended as an alternative front-end to reddit. It doesn't use an API (hence why you can only view it), but it still connects to reddit in order to present content. That means reddit can still implement restrictions to the servers hosting teddit.

Nung nag-umpisa lumuwag yung lockdown, we started with a 9am-2pm schedule. It was a temporary measure and often it felt like there was not enough time to finish my tasks. But it gave me enough time to take a 1-2 hour nap while leaving me some hours more for a bit more work and leisure.

Lay-by areas are exceedingly rare in EDSA. Kapag nasiraan ka, usually talaga sa nearest gas station ang option mo.

Honestly, part of the problem is that riders tend to follow herd mentality. Yung tipong they feel emboldened kapag nakita nilang ginagawa na rin naman ng iba kahit alam naman nilang mali (i.e. counterflow, using the bus lane as a speed lane).

In this particular case, they often take shelter under MRT stations and take up more than half of the road, creating bottle necks.
