Muppet Christmas Carol and Muppet Family Christmas are the only things I’ll still require my kids to watch with us every year. They’re just the best.

I will always upvote The Refreshments. Those two albums are seriously underrated gems.

Her vocal on the chorus is so powerful. The whole performance is heartbreaking and beautiful.

Maintain security by changing passwords every day. Easy.

Watch out for the icy patch!

I don’t even recall seeing it as a kid in the 80s, but I found it once I had kids and it’s absolutely our favorite to watch as a family. In fact, now that the kids are teenagers, this is probably the only one that will draw them out of their rooms to watch together still.

You can install extensions right from the Chrome Web Store with Edge. I have uBlock Origin in Edge on my work PC.

Right. I never pull the wrong one anymore because fan=fan and light=light. I know it’s a stupid minor thing, but it’s great.

One of my favorite purchases in terms of usefulness, cost, and fun (relative) was these frigging ceiling fan pull chains. I saw them on some “things you didn’t know you needed” list or something. But for less than $10, they have made my life infinitely easier and they do give me a little joy every time I pull on them.

The original is probably my favorite console game of all time (mmmm…or tied with Paper Mario TTYD). I’ve purchased and downloaded, but won’t start playing until later tonight. I can’t wait.

I was going to reply to OP with “They aren’t cockroaches, they’re palmetto bugs.”

Like, I absolutely get that these things exist and will be a part of life in Florida. But when we’re staying in your fancy hotel and complain about the bugs scurrying away from the light in the bathroom, you have to do a little better than argue semantics with me.

I go about 50/50 these days.

Browsing a bookstore will always beat out a website. Favorite books or authors will always get a physical purchase. Used books are cheap and awesome. And sometimes lengthy books are easier for me to get through if they’re physical.

But I love the convenience of my Kindle. I have a ton of books and can add to that collection any time I want. I can adjust text size, font, etc. Dictionary lookup. Syncs progress with the phone app so I can literally pick up and read anywhere.

The movie is good, though I felt it missed a lot of things I found interesting in the book. (Don’t ask what exactly, it’s been a while.)

If you were bored by the first book, don’t even bother with the others.

I don’t often give up on books, but I couldn’t finish the third. Maybe one day I’ll go back, but yeah, it all went downhill after the first one.

Working okay here. It might be a Lemmy thing though rather than 2ith Eternity. If you click the same from the website, does it show what you expect?

These look and sound great, thank you!

It actually WAS Community for me. I tried it a few years back and it just didn’t click. I think because Joel and Pierce especially are such shitty people. Tried it again last year and loved it.

Same thing happened with The Orville. I didn’t even make it through the first episode the first time I tried it. Loved it the next time.

Sometimes it’s all about the timing in our lives or the experiences we’ve had.

A whole back when I got a Miyoo Mini, I went looking for original GB games that I missed. I found Cave Noire and it quickly became my favorite ways to kill time. It’s simple (but not easy), being a Roguelike offers some variety, and it’s just fun.

I mean, technically “Tom Traubert’s Blues (Four Sheets to the Wind in Copenhagen),” but Waits is Waits. I approve.

Thanks. I tried it briefly along with Leon and LinkSheet (also mentioned in the comments). URLCheck is hands down the best of the bunch, but its UI is so terrible and obtuse that I can’t bring myself to have to interact with it regularly. Will keep an eye on it though!

It looks like Lèon is for sharing (outbound) links to others whereas UrlChecker handles shared (inbound) links. Is that right? Or can UrlChecker also scrub a link before I send it?
