And the predecessor S60 also had a "notch" for the IR lens.
I currently have the S60, but want the S61 for the air quality measurement. Would be fun to have the phone start bleeping about bad air quality in the middle of meetings in cramped rooms without proper ventilation, though I don't think it actually measures CO2 levels.

There is something to be said for a phone with which you can cave in annoying people's faces, and it will still function just as well.
I like rugged design more than GLASS EVERYWHERE!! design.

Not sure. With the current glass everywhere phones, the victim has to pick out glass shards from their face afterwards. There's something to be said for that as well.

I kind of like that. It would at least make it easier to not pick the phone up and try to use it upside down. Wonder how durable that is though.

One suspects as durable as certain makes of mobile phones' aerials some decades ago:
.. at least those were designed to be replaced, however.

Same with pajamas "or any other attire that could possibly be pajamas."
Is there any clothing that couldn't be pajamas? I've dozed off at a meeting at work; does that make jeans and a polo pajamas?

Only if you deliberately dozed off. In a bed. At work. Wearing those things. At a time of day cromulent for sleeping, in the profession you're in. And the jeans and polo were sold with that particular use in mind.

@PJH But it says "could possibly" not "sold with that particular use in mind"

It was in a meeting. Sounds well suited to me.

So, our Ministry of Risk Assessment recently had finished a study on Glyphosat.
A website called "Fragdenstaat" (Ask The Government) then used our FOIA laws to obtain said study with the intent on publishing it on their website. They promptly received a "cease and desist" letter from the ministry because said study was supposedly copyrighted.
Which was an obvious ploy by the ministry to prevent the publication because there are precisely zero governmental documents which are subject to copyright. But, as there has been no precedent, this has now to be run through the courts. Fragdenstaat already collected enough money to go through all instances if needed up to and including both our German constitutional court and the European court.Nevertheless, they also offered a way for any interested party to do a FOIA request for this document on their own.
Today I received a response from the ministry that, while they in principle are required to reply within a month to all such requests, they need more time because 40,000 requests are just a bit time-consuming to handle.
Morons.

I had to read the article to see what the deal with silk bonnet. I don't see a problem with it wrapped like headscarf but anything that looks like a shower cap makes sense.

I've only recently got him not to care about sock with sandals.

I would think he would appreciate that as a blast from the past. I don't think I've seen a woman wearing rollers (with or without a headscarf) since the '60's.
