It was a great try, visually stunning and true to the overall feel of the book, but it didn't have a very cohesive story. They tried to cover too much ground. It would have been better if they had just stuck to the first book.

They teased a sequel at the end of the movie.

Schlage makes a keyless entry lock that isn't strictly "smart" (no wifi or Bluetooth) but is pretty well made and as secure as any common deadbolt lock. I have two and have been using them for several years with no problems. I can't remember the model but they are in the $100 price class and most major hardware outlets have them.

As others have said, I'd stay away from any kind of fully remote lock.

Community colleges often hire teachers solely based on applicable experience. For K-12, teaching without a degree may be possible depending on the demand and where you live.

Totally agree. For-profit platforms won't exist if they can't generate revenue, either from ads or subscriptions. If I use a commercial offering I expect to pay for it.

If you use the platform and sidestep paying, you're just foisting the expense off on paying customers.

I like Jabra.

My mother has been dead for many years, so now I can safely say that she was an awful cook. I still can barely eat vegetables.

It's not on a browser as such. I use the Google News app on my phone. I can't believe it would block anything at all.

The ad blocker fight is getting really strange. I don't use a blocker, but this morning I couldn't read an article on google news without disabling my ad blocker which I don't have.

What's wicked about her? Sounds like a pretty good offer, either way.

I got a complete set of dishes, settin for six, from grocery rewards as recently as the early 2000's. It was from Safeway I think. Not long after that they did cookware, and I got a few pieces before they stopped the program.

I eventually gave away the dishes, but still have the cookware. It's pretty good stuff.
