I found myself looking for some rules on how you can influence your "hand" - is it "legal", for example:

- to stand in a specific place in order to (subtly) direct other passengers into a specific section of the car, or

- to take a seat yourself and give it up to an elderly person later on, in an attempt to gain an extra ace ;)

Also, I think most usually the lake names come from the color they have when see from the ground, rather than from above.

For example, a lake might be blue when viewed from space, but the locals can still call it a "Black Lake" because it's surrounded by mountains made of dark rocks, and when you stand at its shore you can typically see them reflected in its surface, giving an overall impression of a black color.

The modular design presented by Fairphone is great for ecology and easy repairs (I own a FP 3+) but, as a downside, it also makes your phone more fragile.

In particular, the phone is very susceptible to water. Having carried it for 1.5h in my pocket during rain caused permanent damage to the camera and charging module - something to keep in mind if you're an outdoor type of person.

On a plus side, the customer service was excellent and the repairs were straightforward, but with a better sealed phone I might not have had to perform them at all.

I bought it for my daughter, mostly to let her take part in online classes during the pandemic.

Initially, I was disappointed with the performance, but with some tweaks (namely, replacing the default browser with "Chromium Media Edition") it can handle a 15-person hangout well enough. It definitely performs much better in that aspect than our 5-year-old iPad we used before. For one, it doesn't turn your camera off without any notice like the Google Hangouts app does on iPad when the processor usage is too high.

TL;DR I higly recommend this for a early-primary-school child (even one without strong technical inclinations.) +++ Very small, easily fits on the desk + Cheap: I think for this price we would only be able to get an old and clunky PC. + Good way to introduce your kid to Linux and its quirks (like only being able to connect a bluetooth speaker after you try 3 times... ;) ) + Potential for future fun with hacking - Not very good for games (but we like to keep an eye on our children's screentime anyway, so they can play on a console in the living room instead)

In Polish, killing an animal changes its gender instead: you can butcher a pig (_świnia_, feminine in Polish) but get "hog-meat" (_wieprzowina_, from _wieprz_, masculine).

Same with a cow being turned into "ox-meat" (krowa -> wołowina) and sheep -> "ram-meat" (owca -> baranina).
