![Jumanji: The Next Level - BLU-RAY [Standard]](https://pisces.bbystatic.com/prescaled/500/500/image2/BestBuy_US/images/products/c205a38d-7978-4cf2-9830-36e003ae0291.jpg)
The Jumanji video gamers and their adventurous avatars (Dwayne Johnson, Kevin Hart, Jack Black, and Karen Gillan) return in this action-packed sequel. This time, the game is on the fritz, players inhabit different characters, and two old geezers (Danny DeVito and Danny Glover) get sucked into the world of Jumanji, all of which makes for an even wilder ride that leads to the ultimate boss fight with sinister villain Jurgen the Brutal (Rory McCann). With Nick Jonas, Alex Wolff. 123 min. Widescreen; Soundtrack English. Two-disc set.

Brilliant. This plus the optional solar panel and I was able to get the whole thing installed in less than an hour without having to run power to it. Screwed it into the wall. Plugged it in. Set it up. And it’s worked consistently and maintains a 100% charge off the solar panel.

I’m a home tech junkie. And of all the brands I’ve used, none have installed as easily and worked as seamlessly as Ring products. If you can install any standard in ceiling light fixture, this is a breeze and setup with the app is intuitive. Ring just works.

So bad, it circled back around to fun.

What’s not to love? Fun cast. Amazing digital effects. Many story ingredients that usually can add up to a pretty decent story. But man was the whole premise stupid. By the time I got to the end, I had really enjoyed the action. There was the occasional chuckle. Could have been a pretty good dumb summer movie in a sort of comic book way. If it was just meant to be silly. But I watched the special features and seeing the cast and crew talk about it with no sarcasm or tongue-in-cheek…I found myself going “wow. They really thought they were making some sort of believable apocalypse movie.” Annnnnd I just can’t bear watch it again. YMMV. I’ve seen worse. That’s for sure.

Probably good drive. I just got a rare bad one.

Didn’t mount out of the box for me. I love WD drives. But have always used the Ultra line. This one didn’t mount and Drive Utility couldn’t see it. So I took it back and replaced with a more expensive WD Ultra for Mac. The mediocre score is because despite it not working (1 star) this is so utterly rare for me with WD (5 star) that i don’t want you to avoid the brand. WD are the best hard drives on the market in my opinion.

Charge a compatible phone, tablet or even a laptop with this Native Union USB-C to USB-C belt cable. An LED indicator keeps you up-to-speed on charging progress, and the 100W capacity provides enough power to charge a laptop. A genuine leather strap keeps this Native Union USB-C to USB-C belt cable secure, and the 8-foot length offers flexible placement.

Great power cord. Not great for data.

So. This is a fantastic cable if you are looking for a really robust power cable for your laptop or mobile device. It’s easily the nicest power cable I’ve ever owned. What it is not (not that it claims to be) is all that great at data transfer. I really wish there was a better selection of high speed USB-C cables at Best Buy and better standardization of how cables with this connector are sold and marketed. USB-C is not just for power. It’s also for high speed data (Thunderbolt, etc.) but labeling is not consistent. So it’s easy to go looking for a good cable for external hard drive and end up with a really slow one.

Works Great For Me.
on November 2, 2020

Verified Purchase:Yes
I probably wouldn't have written a review on this product given I don't feel strongly about it either positively or negatively, but seeing so many negative reviews on here has led me to question why mine is working flawlessly. So I felt the need to put in my two cents.
Bear in mind, I upgraded from cable-company-supplied equipment to a Netgear modem and this router. My cable company doesn't supply exactly cutting edge equipment. So this was a big step up in a number of ways.
Unlike some other reviewers, I didn't have any problem at all when it updated the firmware and I LOVE the Nighthawk app. It made the entire installation process fast and flawless. I had this whole thing set up in about 15 minutes including firmware update and a couple of rebooting. And it just worked.
As for speed, I can't judge because it is faster than what I came from. Is it $300 fast? No probably not. I'm getting 325 Mbps down at the point of the modem and across the room (about 20 feet) via the 2.4 frequency, I'm down to about 185. That said, I am able to walk down to get my trashcan at the end of the driveway and still have a signal on my phone. I had dead spots in my house on my old rented router. This has fixed that.
My cons:
1. I don't like "light weight" equipment. It always feels cheap and thick cables can make it unstable on a table. This is light. Likely not more than a pound.
2. I think you can probably get more router for $300. At that price point, you are well into a good mesh network setup or a gaming router. Likely money better spent. At the sale price ($150) that I paid for this today, I think it's worth it.

My pros:
1. Super easy setup. Some folks have had trouble, but compared to other routers that have forced me to use a web browser to access their settings and manually set everything, using the app was glorious. For me, it just worked.
2. It is a sizable improvement from the cable company supplied equipment.
3. It will allow me the freedom to step up to 600 or 1000 speed down the road.

Networking equipment is a category of product that I'd say is almost always flawed. The only router I've ever owned that I actually liked was my Apple AirPort Extreme. And Apple got out of the router business. Everything else has been a compromise that typically only works for a year or so and needs replacing. (I still have an Airport that is 10+ years old and still works.) All that said, I don't think this thing is bad. I just think it I were recommending it, if you are in the $300 price range, you may want to comparison shop. On sale, I'm happy with my purchase.

Better Built to handle tough jobs, this large capacity, top load dryer comes equipped with the Wrinkle Control option~the no-heat way to help prevent wrinkles from setting in. The impressive 7.0 cu. ft. capacity and heavy-duty motor can handle tough laundry jobs, while Moisture Sensing uses two sensors to closely monitor moisture and air temperatures to help prevent over- and under-drying. Plus, count on a decade of dependability with a 10-year limited parts warranty on the motor and dryer drum. And best of all, from Marion, Ohio to you, this dryer is designed, engineered and assembled in the U.S.A.

I don’t want or need a bunch of stupid features that are just going to break or make repairs ridiculously expensive down the road. This dryer is simple. And it works perfectly. It’s a bit louder than the Samsung it replaced, but it actually dries faster and consistently. The buzzer is loud enough to wake the dead, but sort of matches the 1950s industrial-grade personality of this appliance. It ain’t pretty. It ain’t fancy. But I bet this thing is still doing it’s job when other folks are having to buy their third replacement. My Samsung only lasted two years before it needed a new logic board...which was pretty close to the cost of this entire dryer. No more computerized appliances for me...for as long as I can get away with it.

The premise of this movie is a bit off the wall. The story is predictable. The character development is lacking. Can't say I ever once cared enough for any of the characters that I'd have missed them if they were gone. All THAT said, the visuals are amazing. The acting is pretty good for fantasy. And if you go into watching it with the mindset of just a good summer blockbuster popcorn kind of no-thinking-required movie, I found it to be pretty enjoyable. The audio and video of the 4K version is excellent, though not up to "show off my system with it" levels.

Good grief! I've been using WD My Passport hard drives for a decade. This is my first external SSD. I moved my Apple Photos library onto it and had the immediate reaction of "where have you been all my life?" The speed difference the added bandwidth provides is kind of unreal. And this drive doesn't even take full advantage of the Thunderbolt speeds my new Mac Mini is capable of. These little drives are great! It looks like WD may be discontinuing them in lieu of their SanDisk SSD drives. I got this one for less than $100 and at that price, it was a steal!

I can't figure out how to change my rating, but I'd move this from a 5 star to a 0 star if I could. I've had incredibly good luck with WD external hard drives. They just run forever. Not the case with this SSD. After about 6 weeks of use, it began unmounting itself regularly. And now it won't mount at all. Drive Utility can see it, but Drive First Aid fails with a whole host of bad sectors and cannot mount. THANK GOD FOR TIME MACHINE BACKUPS! I'm currently restoring my Photos Library from my backup drive. I loved the speed of this little drive. SSD is most definitely the future, but I'm quite certain I won't be buying another one from WD or SanDisk.

I am looking into ring so much confusion about what I will need. So first question, can this camera be wired to a long extension cord and then be plugged in? What would I need to purchased to make it work?
I doubt it. This light is really made for hardwiring into a fixture box. Like remove an old flood light from house and replace with this. If you haven’t ever done this kind of electrical before, you may want to get some help. Messing with 120 can really shock you. I’m not entirely sure but I think there are other products that may be able to be used with a wall plug. This isn’t one.
