For high value accounts, use 2fa with hardware tokens if you can, and maybe use a dedicated computer (old laptop) with a bare bones software installation to minimize the likelihood of malware.

The usual answer for programmable voip is Twilio. I’ve been using vitelity since I’ve been there for a long time, and their support is quite good, but they’re less flexible than Twilio and cost a bit more. A DID (direct inward dial) number from them is $1.50/month instead of $1.
These numbers all terminate in data centers, and some particularly obnoxous websites check for that and won’t do 2FA verification through them. Worst case, you could get a real cellphone and leave it in a drawer and also have it as a useful burner. There are some very cheap ones with 1 year plans on qvc.com (search for tracfone). QVC seems cringy as hell but I’m a bit tempted anyway. There are also some on tracfone.com but QVC has more choices.

You’re better off with a phone that has a microphone kill switch, or physically remove the microphones (hack the hardware) and only use an external mic. Or power down the phone altogether.
KitKat (Android 4), If only. I still have an Archos 43 media player that runs Android 2.3.

That’s pretty cool! Any hardware info? I had thought a diy dashcam project would be most about hardware (rpi zero and 3d printed enclosure maybe) with the software being relatively simple. Using an old phone might be another approach.
Dash cams do this continuously I thought. Good? Bad? IDK.

Might be easiest to join a ready made monarchy in that case. All you have to do then is claw your way through the ranks til you reach the throne. No need to change the constitution. :)
As another example, think of the hate Wesley Crusher still gets decades after TNG. I dunno how Wil Wheaton deals with it.
Yes for some theory about this, see:
You can turn off captions, I thought. Uploaders can supply their own caption tracks if they want. Otherwise auto generated ones are available. They aren’t great but they can help.
Yeah that sounds about right. It has its own fandom separate from the main HP fic fandom. So the posters aren’t always looking for the same things.
Here’s a 47 THOUSAND WORD NEGATIVE REVIEW railing that much about how terrible a certain Gary Stu fanfic (HPMOR). I mean it’s insane. Not many people like HPMOR (it’s aimed at a particular type of nerd) and even its admirers know it has errors and lots of cringy parts. The reviewer instead goes through the whole fic sentence by sentence finding things to complain about. Most of the complaints are correct but trivial, adding up to “so what?”.
Anyway it wouldn’t occur to me that Gary Stu is automatically loved. Lots of people hate HPMOR, I mean really hate it, but most do the sensible thing and stop reading after a few chapters, or maybe even read it all and then say “wow, that sucked” and go on to something else. So there.

Interesting, thanks. I do have the impression that there is evidence of a historical Jesus, though maybe not conclusive. Wikipedia again (maybe not objectively) discusses this:
Yes, I think as a pure theological question, historical thought has been a bit complicated. So I linked to the Wikipedia article that hopefully goes into it a bit. I admit to not having read the Wikipedia article carefully. This isn’t my area at all.
Please go on. I’m not sure I understand you fully.
