I can't find this on the product webpage (why?!), but reportedly the battery is standard, it's a LIR1054. https://www.heise.de/news/Fairphone-Fairbuds-In-Ears-mit-Wec...

Life advice, unfortunately. Not an actual explanation of how to escape a bog.

How long have you been living in the house? This seems like it wouldn't be too difficult to figure out through casual experimentation.

Governments can take a longer and more strategic outlook than private enterprises. It's not even primarily about nationalistic trade wars: I want my tax euros to fund as little closed-source software as possible. It's crazy how mu

I'd rather deal with many of the issues the op faces than deal with Microsoft Windows in its current iteration. Fortunately, I don't have to do either.

Less than six hours of battery life, issues with audio, non-working suspend, non-working webcam: sounds awful.

Combination of price and length of software support.

This was a retail (unlocked, non-carrier) phone in Europe. The sales channel was Amazon.

I've had multiple Samsung Android devices before buying the midrange phone. The hardware, I found, was universally pretty good. They were one of the few manufacturers with a moderately sized flagship device (the new Pixel 8 also qualif

This was in Germany, so no. It's probably a midrange vs flagship thing, or it has gotten worse over time. I had an S10 and I don't remember it being so bad.

I bought -- full price, retail -- a midrange Samsung phone for a relative recently. The amount of bloatware was incredible. Various social networks and shopping apps were preinstalled. In addition to all the Samsung apps that more or less d

Your own sick leave (at 100% pay, paid by the employer) is separate and the average German employee takes 22 days of sick leave per year, up from 16 days ten years ago.

by morsch 3y ago
It can be a social policy, as well. In Germany, each parent is entitled to up to 10 days a year (single parents get 20) to take care of their sick child. Most people get 70% of their regular wages for those days, paid by the public health i

Kind of. The median is apparently 19. Still, if a lifelong marriage is winning at life, we're a society of losers.

The average marriage in the US lasts 8 years.

I guess I'll have to try it. Apparently 1 nutmeg yields about 2-3 tsp ground nutmeg, and modern nutmeg pancake recipes seem to use about as much as Locke's recipe does. The only thing I add nutmeg to on a regular basis is mashed p

Yes, it seems like an insane amount of butter and heavy cream. Maybe butter in those days wasn't 80% fat and heavy cream wasn't 40%? Also, and it was covered by other commenters, but that amount of nutmeg, wow.

I agree that it's dumb to have to buy a new kitchen when moving in (and tear it down when moving out). In most cases, though, you talk to the next person that moves in and, depending on the quality of the kitchen and social factors, se
