I hardly use my 950XL, it's mainly hooked on to JBL for music and MyTube..
The Nokia9 remains a poorly executed good idea..

I really was thinking of the Nokia N9 when I wrote this, but I do feel like the Nokia 9 and 950 were poorly executed good ideas.

 

[MSFTisMIA]

Every time I pick up the 950XL I think of the Nokia 9. Both were onto something, and both went nowhere.

Battery was dead as a doornail. Got it to 50% and took the update.

Quick update.

The house thing went a lot smoother than expected. So that's over and done with finally.

Whole bunch of other stuff I'm taking care of with regards to the new job and so on.

But it's all good.

I'm glad that everything went smoothly.

Anxiety and depression are the scourge contemporary society. Manageable ills, but ills nonetheless.

Unfortunately, there are too many people who aren't able to get the help they need to manage these illnesses.

It's sadly the same in most countries, not just the US.

I'll feel better once the security deposit is back in my bank account...

This just a general comment of how weird I find things in the world right now.

So Saudi Arabia now has the richest company in the world. Like they needed the extra cash. This goes to show you that there is virtually no ethics in business at all.

Oddly enough, Saudi Arabia has also opened it's doors to tourists. Which made me think if the public beheadings were going to be part of the tourist trail or not....

Yeah I'm kind of in that frame of mind this morning.

Don’t let the Aramco IPO ruin your day since it didn’t really change anything of the last 40+ years.
Not sure about the level of tourism Saudi Arabia will attract since I’m sure it’s no Dubai, reputation wise.
Saudi Arabia had the richest company on the planet already which it’s owned for decades. This didn’t add to any wealth. All they did was list and sell 1.5% of the company to public ownership. There wasn’t any “now” type moment. Akin to swapping a $20 for two $10 or four $5 it’s nothing different.

Since the Saudis completed Nationalization of Aramco in about 1976, the selling of 1.5% to public interest creates a social dilemma as to whether this sale is positive or negative for the global public. The Saudis did pay the American oil companies for their interests.

The Saudi government and it’s record on human rights are still debated on many levels. Unfortunately, the sovereignty of it’s nation status mixed together with it’s religion intertwined with government means no simple or near answers.

On a glass half-full note, we’re the same planet as before with only the same problems as usual. We all still woke up. The human down the street that didn’t wake up is the one having a bad day, along with their family.

Obviously whimsical musings and sarcasm are not your strong points...

I wasn't asking for a long winded commentary.

Well I was awake, bored and feeling capitalistic. The inaccuracy bothered me and the conundrum intrigued me....

I was going by the news information that the oil company is the world's biggest listed company. So maybe I didn't write it 100% accurately. It's was early morning.

I have no idea how captialistic feels and personally have no desire.

As for the human rights violations there's too much to talk about and I'm just not interested in the discussion. I totally disagree with the idea that adultery or sodomy should be punishable by death. Call me a liberal...

The gf picked up some galaxy buds for her first foray into true wireless headphones. I still like my Sabbat even though they're hot garbage for calls.

 

[MSFTisMIA]

Just have to get through the day. Tomorrow I'm off on a professional day in a training.

Ooh how does she like them? Does she plan to use them for calls? I'm thinking of caving to get one possibly but the call quality is very important to me.

You and me both. Hopefully today goes by fast for you. Looking forward to my off day as I woke up tired once again.

I agree with you on the human right violations. It has nothing to do with liberalism or conservatism. It’s merely in another sovereign country. Like China and India, there are many types of human rights violations. It’s just not the borders I reside in so I’ll worry about when the problems here are solved first. The death penalty for murderers here in USA is exhausting by itself.

Just started this morning. I'll hear about it when I get home.

You're not very good with the jokes and sarcasm are you?

Though, yes I'm liberal, it was meant as a bit of very obvious sarcasm.

My thoughts on the idea of countries is a whole other thing. I understand why there's countries in the current state of things but at the end of the day, we're all human. We're all the same. We all evolved from the same place, Africa. Human rights violations should be everyone's concerned and they has no borders, country or religion as far as I'm concerned.

Thanks. I'm not at hopeful but open to be proven wrong.
