Some original songs that are decent, a bunch of covers that are awesome. You also get to hear Seth MacFarlane sing jazz standards.
Plus the movie is pretty decent. A story about how success doesn't just fall in your lap and that you have to work at it.

This is a better collectors' edition than the Steelbook was.
I'd know - I got both because someone didn't tell me she got me the Steelbook as a pre-order and I ended up getting this as my pre-order (and yes, I kept them both).
Also, the 3D was well done and looked terrific on both my Sony XBR850C 55" and my friend's BenQ DLP projector.

I'd just say Deadpool repeatedly, but the review would probably get blocked. Instead, I'll just say that Deadpool is among the top 10 superhero movies of all time. ALL TIME.

I got maybe 6 months out of these cables. I still have the original cable that came with my iPhone 5s (purchased at launch) kicking around in my office.

Fans of the original might wonder how this is even a sequel, as it's so radically different from the original. However, it's not to say a movie that makes you question how humanity will be defined in the future isn't a good movie.
I think it is.

These worked great with pretty much every 4k HDR device I threw them at. Terrific for connecting cable/satellite boxes, set-top boxes, 4k blu-ray players, and computers to a receiver in a home theater setup.

That moment when Luke chucks his lightsaber as if it were garbage? Totally makes sense. Yoda ran. Obi-Wan ran. All the surviving Jedi ran since Vader and his Stormtroopers were hunting them down and eradicating them.
Anyone that says this moment was what ruined this movie doesn't realize that a big portion of the Star Wars story is the Jedi retreating from their failures.

Apple - Remote Loop - Black
The Remote Loop keeps your Siri Remote safely tethered to your wrist so you won't have to worry about accidental slips or drops. The Remote Loop clicks into the Lightning connector on the remote for secure attachment and easy removal. And you can adjust the size for a snug and secure fit.The Remote Loop is compatible only with the Siri Remote for Apple TV (4th generation).
Not just for the Siri Remote for Apple TV 4/4K...

This is also great for those of you with an iPhone 5 or later, or iPod Touch 5th gen or later, or iPod Nano 7th gen that constantly drop it. Plugs into the lightning port. You have to squeeze the connector on its sides to release it, which may take a little effort, but otherwise it's easy-peasy.

PNY - CS900 120GB Internal SSD SATA
Count on high-speed storage performance with this 120GB PNY solid-state drive. Its 515MB/sec. read and 490MB/sec. write speeds let you multitask efficiently, and it's up to 30x more robust than hard drives, ensuring durability and data protection.
I recently purchased a macbook pro mid 2012. Would this SSD work for this model or is there a better SSD that y'all would recommend. I am planning on doing some mildly intensive editing on this laptop.
As long as the MacBook Pro model you’re using has SATA and not M.2 or soldered storage, you’d be fine. I would recommend something larger than 120GB though.

Hello. Is it compatible with MAcbook black early 2008?
Yes it is. However, because of how macOS 10.7 and earlier handle TRIM, you’ll need to Google how to enable that feature so your SSD doesn’t fail prematurely.

Enjoy nonstop entertainment with the Roku Streaming Stick+. Its wireless receiver provides a strong signal for smooth streaming in rooms far from the router, and it supports 4K, HD and HDR resolutions for crisp, colorful pictures. Take this compact Roku Streaming Stick+ with you on vacation for enjoying shows away from home.
Will this work with disney plus
It does, but my picture stutters and my audio quality is garbled. I'd recommend other devices for Disney+ over Roku.

Geeni - Smart Wi-Fi Video Doorbell - Wired - Black
Monitor incoming guests with this Geeni smart doorbell. The 720p HD resolution, 130-degree viewing angle and automatic night vision provide detailed, round-the-clock tracking of your surroundings, and the listen and talk two-way audio offers clear communication. This Wi-Fi-enabled Geeni smart doorbell works with the proprietary app for remote access and includes mounting accessories for precise installation.
Does a charger come with the Geeni door bell ring
While this video doorbell does have a USB micro port that's useful for initial setup or troubleshooting when you experience hardware or network issues, the Geeni Doorscreen relies on power from your existing wired doorbell button. It requires a 16 or 24 volt power supply rated for at least 10VA. 90% of mechanical doorbells will run this device.

PNY - 480GB Internal SSD SATA
Secure your data on this 480GB PNY solid-state drive. With 550MB/sec. read speeds and 500MB/sec. write speeds, it lets you transfer large media files quickly and hassle-free, and its SATA III interface ensures it's compatible with most computers. This PNY solid-state drive has no moving parts, so it reduces noise for a quieter environment.
Would this HD need a mount/rack for a standard sized desktop case? For reference the case is "Corsair Graphite Series 230T Orange with Window Compact Mid-Tower Computer Case (CC-9011038-WW)"
If your case doesn’t have SSD mounting spots, then yes.

Is this compatible with MacBook Pro 2012 ?
It is, but you’ll need to get disk cloning software and a USB to SATA adapter to copy the contents of your laptop to this drive.

C by GE - A19 Bluetooth Smart LED Light Bulb with Google Assistant/Alexa/HomeKit (4-Pack) - White Only
Create customized illumination for your home with this 4-pack of C by GE smart light bulbs. The free iOS or Android app lets you set automatic on and off schedules, and compatibility with Google Assistant and Amazon Alexa supports the voice-activated operation. Control these 9.5W C by GE smart light bulbs individually, or group them together for simultaneous brightness adjustment. The C by GE bulb connects directly to Google Home devices via Bluetooth with no additional hub or bridge required to provide quick and easy setup.
Do these lightbulbs burnout and have to be replaced? And if they do, how long do they last
LED lighting - smart or otherwise - fail by one of the two following ways:
1) The LED modules or the LED driver module experiences a sudden failure. Early LED lighting had this issue due to overheating. While not as common, modern LED lighting fails because part of the LED driver - for lack of a better term - pops. This can happen at any time for any reason, but is most likely to occur during the warranty period.
2) The LED modules slowly dim over time due to materials within slowly experiencing a chemical reaction (caused either by heat or electricity), either in the diode material itself or a phosphor used on the LED to help with light color and quality. This generally takes a period of years, even if the LED is on 24/7. (BTW, unless it's purpose-built to run 24 hours a day, I don't recommend LEDs in constant-on situations.)

We have a google home and a google mini. Do I need anything else.for these bulbs to work in my home?
Nope. Just make sure you pair them using the Google Home app and not the C by GE app if you want to be able to control them outside of your home.
