My guess would be someone trying to make stone tools by banging rocks together, a spark fell into dry grass, etc. But, you know, just a guess.

Yes, sorry I fumbled the wording, I meant to say it makes me wonder what the other chinese factory workers make and under which conditions they work compared to the chinese workers that make fairphones. Maybe it's all propaganda and fairphone uses slave labour, but that would surprise me. Another thing I thought about is that tech is just more expensive in europe in general. It's common that we pay 20% more for the same phone or laptop in europe compared to the US.
Ethically sourced, fair wages to workers, etc. Makes you wonder what a factory worker in china makes to allow for cheaper phones.
I hope all of Europe only buys weapons from other european countries now. I don't want any money going to the US.
For buying gifts, for example.
Cowsay as a Service. A Go microservice that lets you send form or json http post with curl or whatever to an api over the internet and in return you get the cowsay ascii art you requested.
Very cool. Especially if their work benefits everyone. Maybe they can even fix kerning in LibreOffice for everyone.
I had a similar bruise from a less-lethal bullet on my butt, and I've seen a kid get hit with one in his head, that was scary. This was a long time ago though, but the bullets then were steel core and rubber around it. Not sure if they use different ones in the US.
I genuinely believe that more empathy is needed in both directions for people to come out of their trenches. Problem is, it"s hard to feel empathy for those who have no empathy in return. It's a locked position reinforcing itself with every bad interaction. To break out of this we would have to listen and show that we care, while not getting the same things back. It feels bad. Unfair. Again, this goes both ways.
Genuine enthusiasm. If you're only doing things to make someone else happy, it's hollow and pointless.
For some people, maybe behind the reason they seek these procedures is a wish that isn't actually fulfilled by the procedures. I've never heard of someone getting addicted to transplanting kidneys or fixing cataracts.
There's no reception inside a person though, so you can't call the phone to make it vibrate.
