Awards
gollark: It was somewhat hard to find a decent phone below 6" or so when I was looking recently (yes I am using inches for screen size, yes the metric system is generally better, do not kill/laser me), when the standard a few years back was 5" as basically the biggest you would get.
gollark: It's weird, since people's *hands* aren't getting bigger.
gollark: Alternatively, at least a nuclear-powered watch, so I can avoid the hassle of changing the battery every 7 years.
gollark: RTG-powered phones really *would* be convenient.
gollark: Which for some EXTREMELY ANNOYING reason, rarely let you replace the battery without problems.
