I still don't understand though why people do delivery pizza when decent-quality frozen pizza is often far cheaper than delivery, and it comes out of one's oven piping hot. Unless we're considering folks without ovens.
I've not had a frozen pizza that was as good as a mid-quality pizza place.
Even the better ones cheap out on toppings, size and you don't get as much choice in what you have.
I like frozen pizza well enough, and I'll get it from time-to-time, but if I'm going to get pizza, it's more likely to be takeout, because it just tends to be better and take a similar amount of time. It really is expensive though, so it's not something I have often.
It’s an immediate convenience when you don’t already have something easy. Something comes up and spoils your plans, you have a bad day, you order some pizza. It’s not something you do all the time.
Delivery pizza is a sustainable business when it’s the only place around that will deliver you hot and ready food right now. Everyone else wins on quality.
Perhaps I've been buying the wrong brands (though I've certainly tried several expensive ones. Frozen and fresh), but I've never been able to cook pizza in my own oven that's as good as even Domino's, let alone somewhere better
I don't think I've ever gotten delivery pizza that also wasn't piping hot, and it didn't require me to pre-buy pizzas ahead of time and the quality is much better from delivery than frozen. I have a local brand of frozen that I really like but they are essentially $10+ now and still aren't actually as good as fresh.
The language of addiction is psychological language that may leave people feeling hopeless, particularly if they view themselves as biologically-chemically determinative beings.
Perhaps the language of idolatry as used in the Bible (reflecting thousands of years in the Jewish and Christian traditions) may be more helpful. What many see as addictions may in fact be an underlying spiritual condition of serving something as an idol, or a God-substitute. The only way to break that is repentance, turning from the idolatry to the living God. But this gives hope, because as people we are able to do exactly that.
We are more that a bag of matter and energy. We can exercise responsibility over our actions.
The doctrine if sin and the language if idolatry actually can give hope, as the possibility of repentance and belief is always there.
And this in spite of the National Institute of Standards and Technology in the US strongly recommending against using SMS as a 2nd factor authentication since 2016!
Why yes. Because SMS isn't good enough, the sekhurity industry decided everyone needs to use apps instead, since they can communicate over SSL and are harder to spoof, and then threw in remote attestastion for extra sekhurity.
I'm pretty sure you can deal with 2fa on Kai OS feature phones. They also include Gmail, Google maps, and WhatsApp access... on a tiny screen where you won't get sucked in for hours.
However, they also come with a ton of tracking, and are a disaster for privacy.
So is this basiclly a fully peer-to-peer application, like bittorrent clients?
Or something like bisq (https://bisq.network) when the program runs locally peer to peer and hosts all user data locally, but still pings oracle servers for outside market price data?
Back in 2010, these two stop-motion shorts were each shot on the Nokia N8:
Dot [1]
Gulp [2]
Then in 2011, a short film and a feature-length were shot on the Nokia N8:
Splitscreen: A Love Story [3]
Olive [4]
Oh, and back when Apple announced their first iPhone, Steve Lichfield was already filming his Phone Show episode 22 on a smartphone, the Nokia N93. [5] For years he filmed with an N8, then a Nokia 808, and eventually Apple's camera tech caught up and he finished out his Phone Show filming on an iPhone.
Are you ruling our hardcover books that still get written and published? I'm on email mailing lists of two small/Independent publishers, and they still make books.
And where I live, there's a book binders workshop on my street.
