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.

I’m just waiting for canned bread.

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.

I was never gruntled in the first place.

I have a landline, I hear a dial tone every time I pick up the phone.

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.
