Google Pixel 9 Pro Fold Review: Twice as Nice, High Price
Photograph: Julian Chokkattu There are some strange omissions on this device compared to the Pixel 9 Pro.

Intex PureSpa Inflatable Hot Tub Reviewed: Bubbles on a Budget
One of my greatest disappointments of adulthood is learning just how much hassle is attached to recreation.
