I mean, that’s going to be a risk you take with any hosted service. I currently self-host my contacts and calendar, but I have no interest in hosting my own email again.

What Zoho plan are you using? I can’t quite tell what the difference between the free and lite tiers is except for IMAP/POP support.
I moved over to Proton earlier this year and have had a good experience so far, but I’m not married to it or anything.
OMG (facepalm)
If STATES existed outside of the United STATES, they would BE part of the United States. It’s right there in the name. We own it.
Do your own research.

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.
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.
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.
That’s like pointing at your shit and saying “everything is literally in the toilet” when someone asks what you ate. If you can’t effectively structure an argument, you won’t convince anyone of anything.
And since no one else has called it out yet, GTFO with your antisemitism.
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.
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.
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?
Okay, that new Inner Space looks interesting, but I totally meant the 1986 one with Dennis Quaid. 😃
While I would gladly take more years of him being alive, Carlin had gotten really bitter in the years before his death. Where previously his rage was playful and tempered with humor and wit, his later stuff was just angry. It was a disappointing change.
I’m glad that other posters have given you a broad sample of content, and nice to see a young person chime in. I’ve never used the parental info on IMDB, but relied on Common Sense Media for some guidance. It’s tough to make recommendations based solely on age, not knowing you limits as a parent, etc. But with that said, I’ll offer a little parental input on some (my daughter is 11, but she’s also the third kid, sooo…).
Previously mentioned things:
Doctor Who - man, I wish Jodie Whittaker had gotten better writing. Rosa was a cool episode to share with my daughter. Matt Smith’s run would be my pick for younger folks. Some scary elements, but tame.
The Hunger Games - yes! As long as you don’t mind all the killing. Highly recommend the books at that age too.
The Martian - I loved it and I think it’s a good suggestion. I just wonder about the appeal to that age.
Ready Player One - fun, easy, excellent popcorn flick. My son watched it over and over.
Ones I haven’t seen in the thread:
Firefly - Reavers are a bit scary for kids, and you’ll probably need to explain Inara’s job as a “Companion,” but so good.
Jumper - Teleportation, man! Another good read at that age, too.
The Maze Runner - First movie was good, family said subsequent ones were not. Can’t speak to the books, but they were certainly popular.
Men in Black - all fluff, but still a fun movie.
And finally, I’ll close with several 80s picks that tend to skew a bit younger :
Okay, I’m following. So who would you recommend as an email provider?
