Which animal ever eats something too hot that burns their mouth? How do you know they don’t burn their mouths in the same way? Do you think hippos use the top of their mouth or their teeth to crush watermelons? Is your fragile mouth the only thing stopping you from crushing entire watermelons?

There’s no space for thread pattern if the area is too small.

Are you joking? Car wheels could theoretically have a diameter of 1 inch/3 cm and a width of 2 meters. Why do they not is the question.

While there is no area in the friction equation, in the real world it is nonetheless a factor. You got to remember that a larger area makes it so small patches of lower friction (sand patch or water or trash or whatever) have less of an impact, with more area you have a higher chance to still be in contact with the asphalt. More area also gives more opportunity for the ridges in tires to displace water or grip onto gravel/dirt. While simple contact friction is the same, total friction is not necessarily depending on the conditions.

You don’t say? Thank you for this insight!

Clothing (pants) is very much not natural and indeed only enforced by society. If one knows about various indigenous people around the world, one knows pants are not universal.

I actually, in this heat, would love not to have to wear pants or anything really. I’m naked at home all the time. However, if I went outside it’d be indecent.

You’re supposed to be “mean” (it’s not mean at all) in this case.

Tell them to stop following you around or talking to you, nicely, exactly once.

Then, if they don’t comply, you are probably dealing with a troll who enjoys annoying people. Children especially are prone to that. You have to stop doing anything interesting for a bit, just go afk, make a tea or whatever, and wait until they get bored and move on. Then you can resume playing. Or even, if that is a thing in this game, get a moderator to remove them.

Insisting on your preferred way to interact (or not) is not mean, it’s required for your mental health. They have no right at all to interact with you if you don’t want it, and they should be respecting it. If they don’t, any amount of "mean"ness is warranted.

The thing is, are they really leaving money on the table? Higher prices means less customers, yes, but also higher profits per unit. We don’t actually know right now how many people would be willing to pay these new prices: if it costs twice as much but half the customers are still fine buying it, then profit stayed the same. And with no choice, I suspect much more than half are going to pay double.

Of course, the people who wouldn’t do that are a potential market, but they are also a much lower profit margin. Comparably, that’s probably not that much for these people.

The problem is not doing it, the problem is feeding an AI generated text here.

Fairphone is not perfect, but Fairphone.

That’s what you think, but as soon as I leave this comment thread and become unaware of it, I’m sorry to say, but you will stop existing. Tough luck.

Yeah the problem is not the browser, it’s that websites are so big. Firefox works perfectly fine on low bandwidth if you use ublock origin and block media and script loading.

I use this often for the same reason, many websites don’t display properly or at all anymore but at least it’s more usable.

Dude, it’s ok to be wrong sometimes, no one would judge you :) In fact, it’s a sign of strength to be able to admit you’re wrong, and people will like you more for it. It’ll also be good for you personally as you will be more effective in more things :)

For any advice post, there should be one thing that is most important: a clear description of the problem.

Otherwise, all advice is almost completely random/useless. Because maybe changing the name is the right solution, but maybe it isn’t. There’s no way to know.

In my opinion, there is no explanation of the problem at all here. You just say “too identifiable”, however my name/lastname is probably also completely unique, yet I can’t even think of a problem I would have with that.

So, what is the actual problem?
