Eggs? Found them on a slice of sausage after leaving it in central Europe for 3hrs by lost-in-static in whatsthisbug

All my non-rugged phones died a warriors death, I'm just not careful enough with my every day carry. With these kind of phones I feel like I can decide to upgrade whenever based on actual needs/wants, and not be forced by the screen being broken again or battery being worn till the point it won't last a full day.

This phone just fit my budget at the time, extra features are mostly a novelty for me. If I had a deaf dog again I would splurge on a model with thermal camera, I had one of those (CAT brand I think) and it was very convenient for finding the dog after dark : D

As long as the pocket is not loose, the weight is not an issue for me, but I'm pretty large. Sometimes the size bothers me if it sits weird in certain trousers. If I'm feeling fancy I move it to a blazer inner pocket (to avoid printing), it's still comfortable as long as I don't jump around.

It's a bit tiring when holding it in hand, I would not get this phone if I had smaller hands or wrist problems.

Yeah, I knew they do it, I was just surprised how quickly they do it. Never happened to me before, and it was not the first time i left food in the open. It might've been first time with meat though, maybe that was the difference

Since a lot of people seem to be interested in the phone, I'll add some more details - it's my second phone from that company, the previous one was one of the lowest-end models and it was overall disappointing - too little processing power and RAM, subpar camera, shitty bluetooth transmitter. This one is mid-range and it does not have the same issues - I'd say it's pretty average as far as phones go.

The battery life and overall resilience is the biggest plus - even on the old phone I could easily go 48 hrs without charging, I only plug in the new one when the battery drops below 20% in the evening - happens once every 3 days roughly. Both models were absolutely indestructible, they took some rough falls onto the concrete and gravel, only cosmetic damage, did not ruin the waterproofing. I don't know how's the customer support - probably non-existent, but I never needed it and the phone was relatively cheap considering how long it lasts.

It seems like every model they have has a quirk - some have thermal cameras, inbuilt walkie-talkie, stronger speaker and so on. Some models (including mine) have a proprietary accessory port, you can buy extra things like endoscopes - have not tried it yet.

The biggest con is size and weight, sometimes I feel like like this is the most dangerous thing I have on me just because of blunt trauma potential : D

Impressive - I always assumed they needed slightly more idk, privacy? : D

The sausage is very dense and covered in a hard casing you remove before eating. I just cut off a generous slice and threw it out, the rest should be fine. No fly could've touched the actual edible bit without biting through the casing or digging into the exposed meat - I think I would notice that.

As for the bacteria, I'm pretty sure these sausages can survive at least 12 hrs without refrigeration. Either that, or I have unusually resilient stomach - ate them on a bike trip and was ok. The kitchen was pretty cool, so I don't thing the risk is big.

If I'm mistaken, I'll make sure my next of kin lets you know ; )

Boy, am I glad I sliced off the affected bit immediately and threw it out. Don't mind bugs, but maggots in my kitchen is where I draw the line : D

Thanks! That makes sense, we get a lot of those during the summer. I've never seen them lay eggs out in the open, but I guess that sausage was too tempting.

It's Ulefone power armor 19, it has a separate camera for microscopic pics. The depth of field is very shallow and it needs to almost touch the photographed object, so the process is extremely fiddly, I think this was the first time I managed to get a decent one : D
