Fair enough. .world was one of the few instances where I didn't have to file an application back when I signed up. Seemed easier, might migrate later, idk.
There's a store in my town that either had a bad receipt printer, or had their number wrong on it (my number differs from theirs by one digit). Either way, I get a call for them every few months. I don't really mind.
I don't get that many spam calls anymore, and the ones I do get, I just have fun with them (practice my very rough French, try out a new accent, or just wait about 10 seconds and burst into song). Unfortunately most of the junk calls these days are bots :(
I've used Debian, Ubuntu, Mint, and Manjaro. All viable options. I'm currently using Mint on my daily driver, Ubuntu on my HTPCs, and Debian on my servers.
I liked the rolling release aspect of Manjaro, but I missed having a system that works with DEB files. I'm not a fan of flatpak/snap/appimage due to the size (I've often had to use slower internet connections). I settled on Mint for my daily driver because it has great and easy compatibility for my hardware (specifically an Nvidia GPU). It worked okay on Manjaro as well, but I've found it easier to select and switch between GPU drivers on Mint. And Cinnamon is my favorite DE, and that's sort of "native" to Mint.
I'm using vanilla Ubuntu on my HTPCs because I have Proton VPN on them, and it's the only setup I've found that doesn't have issues with the stupid keyring thing. And Proton VPN's app only really natively supports Ubuntu. The computers only ever use a web browser, so the distro otherwise doesn't matter that much.
I'm using Debian on my servers because it's the distro I'm most familiar with, especially without a GUI. Plus it'll run until the hardware fails, maybe a little longer.
At worst I would have categorized your question as insensitive or maybe inflammatory. At worst.
Ah well, that's .ml for you.
I switched to a home-oriented 5G system from T-Mobile. The price was decent for my area ($50/month), and most importantly, Spectrum got nothing from me.
Before that, my wife and I would use our phone hotspots for internet (Visible has plans that have unlimited throttled hotspot). The speed was capped at 5Mbit/s, but it was enough for us (and was only $25/month/phone at the time).
I've since moved back to Canada and am using a reseller (Oxio), which has been great so far.
I'd bring back Logsday.
Don't be sorry! These are great questions.
One thing to note about anger: anger itself isn't a sin. We're told to be "slow to anger," that is, patient. But there are things that can and should make us angry, just as Jesus was at certain points. Even killing itself isn't strictly a sin, the ten commandments specifically condemn murder (unjust killing). Though unlike anger, I don't think Jesus ever condoned killing anyone.
In terms of the OT fire-and-brimstone and genocide, there are a few lines of thought among Christians that I know. One line of thought is that God has the ultimate authority to destroy what he has created if he sees fit--he is the only one who has the authority to decide these things (thus when humans decide on their own to kill people, it's not justified). The other lines of thought suggest that God himself wasn't the one summoning fire and brimstone, but cities like Sodom wouldn't listen to him and were destroyed because of it (this is a more liberal interpretation of the biblical accounts).
Generally speaking, since Jesus came to earth, God hasn't resorted to directly or indirectly killing people, so I don't see any justification for that today. But anger is still very much justified, we just need to be careful to direct it properly. Instead of directing our anger at people (who are fellow creations made in God's image and who God wants to redeem), direct it at the brokenness and unjust systems that are the root of it all.

Does it count as Bluetooth if it extends that far? I haven't looked into the SoC, but that seems misleading at the very least.
It must be Link
I'm less of a former Christian and more of a thinks-outside-the-box Christian, but I think Mat Kearney is pretty solid regardless of what you believe. Sufjan Stevens is awesome too, but a bit of an aquired taste.
My first concert was Newsboys and Supertones (Newsboys was the opener, it was pretty early for them). Saw FIF a year or two later. Saw Insyderz at a smaller event a few years after that. To this day I get to say I've seen the three "big" Christian ska bands live.
What a wild time. Jars is still on a regular rotation for me (Flood and Liquid are both bangers, and their Christmas album is one of my favorite holiday albums).
What other band is going to write a song about Different Strokes? FIF is still part of my regular rotation.
This isn't a meme, it's a call to action

Not sure if it counts as it's not really a pet name, but when one of us is looking for the other, we make dinosaur noises. The query has an upward inflection ("raahhhh?") and the response has a downward inflection ("rahh!").
At first it was just around the house. Now it's in public too.
I wonder how many male, middle aged US filmmakers regularly call it a "director's cut" when carving up the thanksgiving turkey for their family.

I mean, I would. Every year, all the time.
In a thousand years, will historians regard today as the digital dark ages?
Considering the proliferation of AI-generated slop, as well as the lines between satire and reality being blurred, I wonder if future historians will have a harder time understanding what was really going on.

Also mildly interesting is the difference in the L/R waveforms. Taken from the end of a Danny Go song.
Is there a way to do live location sharing?
My partner and I love having live location sharing, it's the main feature of Google Maps that we loathe leaving behind. Is there anything in the OSM ecosystem that replicates it?
So far I found OsmAnd's tracker, which I think works by sending location updates through a Telegram backend or some such?
Is there anything else out there? Anyone else using a feature like this?
"Raiders of the Lost Ark" Review-Bombed by Republicans for Opposing Constitutional Rights
(Detroit, MI) Republicans have begun a crusade against the time-honored 1981 classic Raiders of the Lost Ark, citing a lack of respect for the first amendment and encouraging political violence.
Sites like imdb.com have seen a surge in new accounts as Conservative Americans across the nation are creating profiles in order to leave a one-star rating for the Spielberg classic Raiders of the Lost Ark. According to these reviews, the film contains gratuitous politically-motivated violence, and a complete disregard for the first amendment right granting freedom of speech. According to inside sources, viewers feel threatened by the persecution experienced by the characters in the film, decrying it as glorifying violence.
"I don't expect them to agree on everything," one reviewer writes, "but violence isn't warranted for differences in political alignments. Ultimately, [Jones] and his competition have more in common than they have different." Another critic writes that they "of cours
I was really nervous about my first day working at Olive Garden
My therapist said I had impasta syndrome.
I never reserve pasta water
The recipe always says to reserve some pasta water. I either forget, or I just don't bother. The one or two times I've needed it, I just added regular water and it was fine.
I miss my tools
I just moved, but haven't sold my old house yet. So I left my tools there for any work that needs to be done. My dad let me borrow his tools for the new place (and I'm very grateful for that), but they're not the same.
My wife didn't seem to like it when I whispered sweet nothings to her
I told her I ate all the candy. Maybe I'm doing it wrong?
You've made it to Hero High.
You've made it to Hero High, the high school tailored to students with superpowers. Your super strength makes you a target of recruitment for pretty much every sports team, and otherwise garners a lot of attention.
What everyone else doesn't know is that your strength isn't your superpower--you just work out a lot. You do have a real superpower, but it's something completely different...
Hero Elementary is a PBS kids' show about elementary school students with superpowers.
But the most unrealistic thing on the show is the 1-to-4 teacher/student ratio.

It was the giraffe. It's still stuck in the fridge.

Open the door, remove the elephant, put the giraffe in the fridge, then close the door.
