I had a 6mm one for just over two weeks. There were times when it just got stuck and that wasn't too painful. Then it would start moving again and it was agony with no warning.
My first child was born during those two weeks and, thankfully, the stone stayed put during the birth.
Congratulations! My first girl is now 18 and I can tell you it's a ride! She's the oldest of 4 (two of each) and, despite some very real challenges, I love being a dad.
I feel like we're told about some sort of "kill switch" or silver bullet for cancer every couple of years. Hopefully one of these days it'll actually beat fruit. Maybe even this time?
Enjoy it. I'm so much more comfortable with myself in my forties than it was in, say, my twenties. I'm much happier being me.
Also - life isn't over. I've been surprised at the prevailing ageism that seems too suggest that there's no point taking up any new hobbies or learning anything because you're just too old now for there to be a point. This is nonsense. You've very likely got as many decades in front of you as behind you - maybe more.
Also: use sunscreen.
The hardware being very poor was the killer for me. Unless they improve starter specs or allow you to upgrade hardware I won't ever buy another one.
I answered above replying to another post.
Low end hardware made the user experience frustrating and the overall performance was poor. It's annoying because the concept is good, but a phone that's supposed to be your "long term phone" shouldn't be painful to use after only months. It's certainly very repairable - or seemed to be. I didn't actually have to ever repair mine, but if I'm going to deliberately have a phone for a long time then I need it to stay off with specs that mean it'll still perform after three or four years.
It depends. Do either of them connect to the internet, or can they just be managed by a local server running open source software. If they can then the robot, otherwise neither.
Unless you're happy with a very mediocre phone - please don't. I very much applaud the idea behind fairphone, but the years I had my fairphone 3 were full of frustration.
As a native English speaker who'd never heard of this word - TIL x2
It depends on the song. Many of their songs are Icelandic and a few are even in English.
Not certain, but I'm fairly sure you could pay for more children.
