How do I remove 10 subscriptions and I'm still falling behind on YouTube? I miss being able to watch at work.

It sounds like it was just enough of a taste for you to really go to Egypt. I think it's cool that you're going. Thank you for the review.

I've seen quite a few Egyptian exhibitions in various museums around the world.

When I was very young the King Tut exhibition came to Toronto. I wasn't able to go and our school didn't take us but we did a few things on ancient Egypt.

A lot has changed since then and our understanding has increased quite a bit.

I've been wanting to go to Egypt since I moved to Europe (well long before that). It's just been too unstable.

We saw the King Tut exhibition at the Getty Center last year in May. Although the primary reason was to see the Van Gogh being inspired by Indian Mughal paintings (which my then 8 year old wanted to see).

I also think that the British Museum in London had a great collection of Egyptian historical artifacts.

The Getty in LA is really nice. I've seen a lot of Van Gogh paintings. Which one is this? I'm curious now.

I used to have a membership to the British museum. Main reason is to get into the paid exhibitions for free. Saw an amazing Ice Age art exhibition. 40,000 year old artifacts. Gave you goosebumps just looking at it.

The Egyptian collection is good at the British museum and the fact it's free is great.

The Louvre has a large collection as well.

Still nothing like going there.

Sorry it was Rembrandt and not Van Gogh.
Here are a few pictures from May 2018.

Nice.

I've seen a few Rembrandt as well and I don't recall seeing that one. That's pretty interesting.

Nice shots. Sounds like this in terms of how busy and semi obnoxious the crowds can be :

Always liked Egyptian culture. Got a real education from one of my clients earlier this year. Interesting stuff indeed.

I've watched a lot of documentaries over the years about Egypt and it's been interesting seeing the changes as they learned new things.

In France museums are free for EU citizens under the age of 25 and they do a free night every 1st Sunday of the month. (I'm going by memory here)

I had a desire to be an ancient Egyptian archaeologist or historian. It just seemed too far out of my reach as a young person.

What a horrible day I'm having at work mostly software related.

I never had AutoCAD run this slow in my entire career using it.

I can only assume it has something to do with the lock-down nature of the computers here. Never experienced anything like this.

I could drive home and back by the time a single operation is complete... it feels that way anyway.

Not bad. I've seen some good computer rage videos in past.

It was a bit like that today but such is life I need to look at some adjustments to AutoCAD to hopefully speed it up.

I bought the files I'm working on to do some diagnostics in them. Something I can't do at work. So annoying.

So Dump is showing his true colours again. Surprise.

Some think it's a distraction from the Epstien case but I think it's to get his base going for 2020... Scary thought that.

Even if it comes out that Dump did mess with young girls and it's proven his rabid base won't care one bit.

The hope is that there are some who won't be able to stomach it but that's of course if Faux News covers any of it.

That's where we are in politics in the USA today folks.

That's the new Xperia 1. You missed the most Sony part of the picture though.

(I liked the old Xperia T. Almost got one.)

I'm used to that from Sony. The Z2 was in this bracket, maybe a little bit lower back in the days.

Re: WC 150K Post Challenge - You Ready?!

While I kvetch about lots of stuff with the Mate 20 Pro, I like how Huawei handles transition between each of the three lenses. Not a fan of what Sony did for the X 1, although I can understand why pairing up the main and telephoto can make sense.

 

[MSFTisMIA]

Re: WC 150K Post Challenge - You Ready?!

I like the screen and hand feel of the X 1. Would be curious to see how a smaller version (X 2) would be. Didn't think the Xperia 10(10+) were that unwieldy.

Shout out to all the (more well known) old school Android skins:

Samsung - Touch Wiz
HTC - Sense
Moto - Motoblur
Sony - Timescape UI
Xiaomi - MIUI
LG - Optimus UI
Huawei - EMUI

Oh yeah, Xiaomi been around THAT long. I could have flashed MIUI on Nexus devices...galaxy nexus, that is. So has been Huawei, but Xioami's skin was always a bit more developer/enthusiast friendly.
