Surely the folks in America aren’t so clueless that they’re buying this from the Helsinki exchange just because they type “Nokia” and don’t bother to read the full name. A similar rally happened a couple of years ago in tandem with Nokia.

Sometimes life just smiles from every direction, as Atomirotta said: “The ones with the chalk are the ones who draw”
I’ve been grinding hard for the last couple of years, and I’m finally reaching the point where I can cash in on the wins. This month, for the first time, my sales commissions exceeded my base salary, and I honestly have to wonder how anyone survives on a doctor’s salary—and I didn’t even go to med school.
A couple of strategic strikes at Ralph [Lauren] to pick up some spring jackets; it feels good to be out there charming the ladies again when both the physique and the threads are in mint condition.

Great to hear. It’s a great feeling when you know you’ve worked hard and are starting to reap the rewards.
You can probably also conveniently bring one bonsai sapling (Larix kaempferi) for my son’s birthday present and a 17th-century katana (Nihonto) for me in your carry-on!

10% of mined gold goes to industrial needs, while the rest goes into jewelry and storage. With current stockpiled gold quantities, humanity could manage for centuries without the need to mine more.
Why is gold still being mined instead of being banned as environmentally destructive? Especially since cyanide is used to separate gold from ore. There is no need for gold mines.

I was under the impression that cyanide is used to separate the soul from the body.
Well, this was just a poor attempt at some Thursday humor.
