This exact career is that of the protagonist in Evil, my wife and I's favorite show. The show is led by a Catholic priest and an atheist psychiatrist (possibly a -gist in the show) tasked with investigating demon possessions.

Highly recommend it. It is written by a married couple, one Catholic and one atheist. It takes the supernatural seriously without getting hokey or dismissive.

Slightly off-topic: has PayPal become unusable in the browser for anyone else? When using Firefox, no VPN, no ad blocking, I get some nondescript error that bounces me from the login screen. My IP must be on some list, but it is really annoying.

Edit: The status page and home page were down for me for about 15 minutes (checked on multiple devices and networks). Now they load about half of the time, but are very slow. Might be a load issue in this region of their CDN or something. My hosted services are fine, as far as I can tell.

This is a full retraction of the previously discussed story:

https://web.archive.org/web/20230602014646/https://www.thegu...

https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=36159866

Seems like a big story to publish on the word of a single person (relayed through a blog post) with no other corroboration.

Shame on The Guardian for not mentioning the retraction/edits and simply reusing the same URL.

I wonder how the current cell carriers have to charge $50+ to be profitable in a hyper-competitive space, but Amazon has the margins to consider throwing it in for free?

Directors and Officers insurance would provide some measure of comfort. What you need is an insurance broker who can advise you on what coverages will protect you best.

Edit: Looks like Intellectual Property Insurance is exactly what you are looking for.

Dedicate a full day to the following:

1. Buy a domain that looks like a knock-off email provider (to avoid some scrutiny later). Something like emailco.biz, etc.

2. Setup simplelogin for that domain.

3. Go through all your existing accounts and change the email to [service]@emailco.biz.

4. Use that technique to sign up for all future services. If you start getting unwanted email to a simpelogin alias, simply turn it off in the app or browser extension.

5. Click unsubscribe on every email you don't want. The first day it will be a lot, the second day less, the third day even less, etc.

6. Ruthlessly click spam on anything you didn't ask for.

Soon, you'll have it under control.

The local feed on Fosstodon has been a breath of fresh air in a world of algorithms and clickbait competing for my attention. Feels like a community from a bygone era (in a good way.)

You may not be denied entry BUT:

- You can be substantially annoyed. - You can be significantly delayed. - Your possessions can be searched and potentially seized.

Excellent points.

> It even hurts a pivotal scene in JW4 where a mid-boss dies by falling two stories directly onto his head - when I saw it in theaters, I could unfortunately sense the audience expecting the mid-boss to get back up like John Wick. Because of the non-lethal fall in JW3, they didn’t really buy that this boss had actually died.

Especially when JW took a similar fall only a few moments earlier and gets right back up.
