A lot of malware takes over your default search engine.

The slinky my middle child got didn't even survive the day.

Has anyone had a slinky that survived more than a week?

I second this. I feel silly paying for it, but if you (and your spouse, if applicable) totally buy into their system, it's a way of life. The biggest thing is how it sets up purposeful sinking funds (instead of just "savings") - every dollar has a job. Now when we have major expenses, it's like - meh! Water heater went out? No sweat, home maintenace got you covered. And if it doesn't, you roll with the punches and transfer it from some other category.

It's made finances so much less stressful.

You must not have enough nukes.

Yeah, they were notified they'll have the chance soon. I think it depends on your area. As I understand it, they were being very limited with accepting users as they continue to expand capacity.

Compared to fiber, yeah. I pay $39 for 300mb fiber. But if that's not available and you have satellite, it's competitive. Blows the pants of Hughesnet - 40x faster, way lower latency, for a similar price and no data caps.

Have they needed to? My mom has no high speed internet to her house. She signed up for Starlink like 2 years ago. Still on the waitlist.

Let's be real - an email address doesn't really stop much of anything. Anyone can really easily spin up new email addresses freely.

"Master Skywalker, what are we going to do.."

Well, finally looks like the show is picking up! I loved this episode. Pacing was better, and it's starting to enter "I have no idea what's going to happen next" territory.

Where the hell is she? In the map? Did she cross in to the Halo universe? Looks like a light bridge.

It's the "World Between Worlds". We've seen it once before, on Rebels. It's a bridge between space and time. Ezra, Ahsoka, and Palpatine are the only ones who have seen it (that we know of).

I like the idea of electric cars, may purchase one, but they don't make sense for everyone at this point. The infrastructure isn't there, they're very expensive, the range isn't practical for some, and many of the choices are unreliable. I applaud those who can make them work, but they're not for everyone yet.
