Sure, he gave permission for them to publish the paper about him. But, did he give them permission to address him solely as "48 year old obese man?"

It's an interesting movie. RiffTrax (it's a spinoff of Mystery Science Theater 3000) did a live episode on the movie, if that interests anyone.

I disagree two-fold. At least in the deep South where I'm from, the rise in popularity of the idea of the rapture did not cause Christians to be any less fervent in their rush to convert everyone else. It did not make the vast majority of them self-isolate at all. The author's viewpoint is likely affected by his parents making him live in a commune. Secondly, even if evangelicalism is moving in some new directions lately, I don't think the idea of the rapture is falling out of fashion at all. Christians have no problem with both thinking they should assist in bringing about the end of the world and also believing that the rapture can happen any second. As we all know, cognitive dissidence never bothered them anyway.

For some of them, it's not even cognitive dissonance. They believe certain things must happen before for the rapture can happen. Most of them believe these things have already happened or will soon™, though.

I do believe it's made with real orange, especially if you're get it from a street vendor near the beach. Been years since I had it.

Why isn't orange (the fruit) ice cream more popular? I don't mean sherbet, I mean ice cream. It can be bought in Florida, but I've never heard of it anywhere else.

Sir, a 17th Zorin OS has hit the download page.

I guess disabling full screen notifications for the phone app does work, but I kinda liked the full screen notifications when I'm driving.

Thanks, I'll check that out.

Were you able to make the alert stop?

I suppose I could try that. I was hoping for an easier solution.

The phone is really great other than this one annoying "feature," especially for the price.

Actually, I already do that. I have two two steam deck docks, one in the living room and one in the office. I still like having the dedicated device for streaming though. Especially since I tend to download movies/shows sometimes. Can't be filling up the steam deck storage with non-games!

I also sometimes use the deck in handheld mode while my husband watches TV.

I bought a mini PC and plugged it into the TV. I use a "wireless mini keyboard with trackpad" to control it. My husband and I have been using it for years. Beelink's mini Ryzen PCs are quite solid in my experience. I have Linux on mine. Firefox with ublock origin. No ads, like ever.
