It wasn't that. There was no default video player set, and it was bringing up a list of video players to choose from, with the just once/always option. The issue was that despite other players being installed, only ES's player was shown in the list.

After uninstalling ES, the list returned to the full list of players.

That tells me that ES was the culprit.

I cleared default apps, and it brought up a list of video players to choose from when selecting a video to play from other apps. Despite MX player and VLC both being installed, it only showed ES's player. Until I uninstalled ES File Explorer. And guess what? The other players magically showed up.

I uninstalled ES last week, and it had nothing to do with ads. It was blocking another app, a dlna client, from being able to select a video player other than ES's built in player. ES File Explorer has morphed into very a invasive app that just happens to have a file manager in it. It's now border line malware.

Remind me why competition among public utilities is bad again?

Because big telecom will need to cut prices to be competitive. And you know what happens then? All the C-level executives will have to cut back and get just the large Jacuzzi instead of the extra large Jacuzzi! That's one less hooker you can fit in there, you know. We can't have that, now can we?

Yes, you can. You can also renounce it. But that's irrelevant to my point. I'm not talking about citizenship, nor questioning his status as a natural born citizen.

But, rather the last part of Article II, Section 1, Clause 5: ...neither shall any Person be eligible to that Office who shall not have attained to the Age of thirty five Years, and been fourteen Years a Resident within the United States.

The "been fourteen Years a Resident" part.

This is what I don't get. Clarkson has this British bloke persona, the kind of guy you can have a pint with and not have to worry about the conversation delving into fashion design or spa treatments. Basically, the opposite of the effeminate metrosexual.

Yet, he basically punched someone out over catering.

The last words out of the mouth of the guy he hit had better have been "vegan only."
