Ok since you’re both in India, you’re talking about band 1. The Nexus 5X should definitely support it, but maybe the antenna is weak. #gHelp
The band situation is complicated. I see what you mean about 2G. Nexus 5X does the quad-band 2G I mentioned earlier, but not E-GSM band 8.
Ok, this is a little new to me, even though I have worked with cell models since 2005. The 900-MHz 2G “Band 8” in India isn’t supported.
Even though all the phones say “quad band”, I don’t know whether or not they support the exact range of the E-GSM-900 band vs. P-GSM-900.
Just hope the towers are within the range of the Europe/Asia 900 MHz EDGE 2G, I guess. They all do LTE Band 8. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GSM_frequ…
So they all do 4G LTE on band 8, but neither Apple nor Google say anything about E-GSM 2G for Airtel India & Idea Cellular on “band 8.”
Long story short, your phone might just be too old to get coverage on either carrier, from my quick investigation. Not a software fix.
Even a less expensive but newer phone sold for your region will probably have a better 2G & 4G LTE experience. Band 8 GSM is new to me.

Reading "The End of Influence: What Happens When Other Countries Have The Money" by J. Bradford DeLong. Great analysis of the problems created by neoliberalism. My only complaint is that we didn't "[use our] economic dominance exclusively for global good." a.co/1hJrwak
Other than that suspicious claim on page 1 (was the author intentionally ignoring all of the social democracies that the CIA worked so diligently to subvert during the Cold War, to benefit American companies at the expense of the people of the targeted countries?), good analysis.
The book was published in 2010, so the stress of the then-recent recession led the author to be more clear sighted about the dangers of America's excesses back when we "had the money." We don't "have the money" any more. China, Japan, sovereign wealth funds, and billionaires do.

So I've been watching more Alex Jones nonsense to see how he's holding up now that people really are out to get him. I noticed two things:

He has a new talking point that the Internet was invented by "a psychiatrist." David Knight, who reports "news" on Infowars, says the same.
I honestly don't know what psychiatrist they could possibly be thinking of. All of the early Internet pioneers were electrical engineers or scientists, AFAIK. Mark Zuckerberg's mother's a psychiatrist and Mark took psychology classes before dropping out of Harvard.
The other thing that's going to get Infowars and Jones in trouble is that, while he's cut down on the LGBT hate, he had a long routine about seeing a kid with autism while shopping and how awful it was that the child's "cerebral cortex" had been destroyed by glyphosate, etc..

Reading about Henry Kissinger is challenging because it's clear that he had a generational effect on American self-conception as an imperial power (dominating for power's sake) that afflicts us today. Clinton would've continued this. Trump seems oblivious, but he's weakening us.
There was a brief window in the 1990s when we could have used our unipolar power to promote equality and human rights, e.g. in the former Soviet Union, but instead we continued in a Kissingerian vein, assuming that neoliberal capitalism would take over the world. Then came 9/11.
Kissinger was all about using power to create new realities. He was hoping that Kennedy would bring about an idealistic new world order. The quote about "we're an empire and we create our own reality", attributed to Karl Rove, actually reflects Kissingerian "Realpolitik."

Ok, I need to make a new thread for the Iran–Saudi Arabia proxy war. I didn’t realize there is an overarching theme here.
Iran, like Russia, is a close ally of Syria, so there’s a Wiki page on Iranian involvement in the Syrian Civil War. 🇮🇷 🇸🇾 en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iranian_i…
Meanwhile, Saudi Arabia has been funneling weapons & ammunition to various rebel factions in the same Syrian Civil War. 🇸🇦 🇸🇾 en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saudi_Ara…

Putin is 5’7” & Assad is 6’2” or so. I had to look up both of their heights to make sure this wasn’t one of those Photoshopped big Obama small Trump (or vice versa) fakes.
Those always struck me as weird because both Trump & Obama are tall.

Nobody really talks about the “taller candidate usually wins” theory with Trump & Clinton. Maybe if we ran an exceptionally tall woman on the Democratic ticket in 2020, hmm.
The problem with both Assad & Putin is that they have their enemies tortured & killed, so I don’t consider either of them honorable people.

No way…
THC is a potent substance. Especially for grownups with grownup responsibilities. Most of us learn this by the time we turn 30. You’ve got to maintain, bros & broesses.
There’s still time for Shanley Kane (with the fake moon landing & other conspiracy stuff she tweets about), btw.

We’re all responsible for our own reality-testing abilities. There are doctor prescribed drugs & recreational drugs & we need to tell our doctors about all of them.
