Is there any way to prevent spam calls from ringing on a Pixel 8?

I do not answer calls from a number not in my directory. I haven't answered an unknown number in over a decade. I don't cut the call short, I just let it ring. I'll give a voice mail a look but rarely is any left. I get maybe two unknown calls a week.
I rarely ever get any calls from outside my contacts list. After the Boss Lady had her surgeries I'd get calls from the doctor, hospital, etc, and they'd come through. My call filter blocks known spam calls automatically.

The Big C

My B-I-L is on the last leg of his journey. He is home with hospice care and their consensus is any time and possibly up to a week. I hate every minute of it! They have him pain free which is a good thing. He has suffered far too much. My sister is 77 and the ordeal and trying to keep him medicated every four hours has her completely worn out. The entire scenario is like a bad movie that keeps getting worse. It is such a terrible way to go for everyone.

Brain Fart of the Day

Ah my brain fart of the day lately was,I forgot to check in with mom about my wifi service and she said it was about 95% used up, so no more streaming or anything, she does not knew I just factory reset my device oh only yesterday ... OOOPS, but I am glad I was able to back up my main apps and everything else, went super quick, so there was no waiting until it was riden over.. No wonder the wifi was spotty on my cell latey.

E-Bikes

I went riding when it got into the high forties. They had the windy right but it managed to warm a few degrees above the forecast. I rode around in town until I got bored. I put on my balaclava and did one loop to the town South. I logged 26 miles before I put the bike up. It felt good to be riding but my nose has been running ever since my return. I was the only fool out riding this afternoon.

For what it is worth and those who need a wipe out clean.

Another walk around if you did download your personal apps on your tablet, or other motorolla cell phones, after you first synch, it should have all those app install first, on my tablet it is just grey icons but I can still interact with them, and profit, but the quick and very fast one is still Samsung Switch since you will have your google accounts synch off the bat, I just did it because of the reboot date on it. Sort of bump it up.

The "I'm so old" thread game

I'm so old that one Christmas I received a reel to reel recorder. The reels had to be around three inches in diameter and the tape around a half inch. It was quite the treasured possession for quite some time. Radio sounded absolutely terrible in play back and was only mono... but so was AM radio. :)
I also had a B&W camera called the swinger that developed it's own pictures. I still have a few pictures of friends and girlfriends from my middle school years that it captured.
I remember having those too.
