Look, this film is just plain good ol' action mixed with a healthy dose of sophomoric humor. What more could anyone ask for let alone want or need?
Like the Beach Boys said, Fun! Fun! Fun!

I buy this because She Who MUST Be Obeyed has declared it her favourite coffee! To be honest, I don't drink the stuff m'self. To be just as honest, I value peace and quiet and having this particular brand and flavour of brew is the best way to start the day. For her, because it is her fave and for me because it is her fave and makes her day easier to get started.
So then...What have learned here today? Get your wife her most favored B&B (Brand & Blend) of coffee and you shall be rewarded with a smile instead of a frown from your beloved. That is worth it all.

I bought this back in June for some very dear friends (more family, really) and they received it a few days later. But still it doesn't show here that I'm a verified buyer!!!!
I am a Verified Buyer. :-) Yup. I am.
Well...I am! And per my friends this ION Survival Blootoof Speaker is sweeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeet! I've given a couple of other IONs away. One to my son and one more to another good friend, but this one was chosen for this couple as they go camping and this ION has solar charging and a hand crank to help keep the battery powered up and the music playing.
The battery last for several hours and you can also charge your cell phone via the USB outlet. What more could you ask for?
How about built in AM/FM and (*GASP*) Short Wave Radio?! Well it has those two too (cool how I just did that phraseologifcaiton there, huh?).
So, as is my habit, this baby comes highly recommended. I tend to check into things before I buy them, either for myself or family and friends. I've heard from the wonderful folk I gave this unit to and they told me it is most excellent indeed.
Buy one for backayrd BBQing. Buy one for camping. Buy one for NASCARing (izzat a word?). If you have the need for a rugged, powerful and kinda cool looking Blootoof speaker, this ION will fill that need.
Trust me...I know what I'm doing.

This time, for my son. He has taken to weight training and as such has become all the more health conscious about his food. This blender/food processor does not only what he asks of it, but also what he needs.
I bought this to replace a 35+ year old Osterizer blender that simply developed a leak that I could not get to stop. So...I bought my son this new version. Like the previous processor, this unit has a GLASS container and when it comes to blenders and processors, glass is class.
Enough motor power to blend the thickest protein shakes as well as slice up vegetables such as carrots without so much as a wimper. Some here may say, "But SSSS, you give nearly everything you review 5 Stars!"
To that I would say thus - "I don't give anything I buy 5 Stars. It must earn them".
This blender does just that.

Bring vibrant visuals to your screen anywhere, anytime with the versatility of a 360 degree hinge, long battery life and simultaneous pen and touch support.
Can the battery be replaced? Is the battery rechargeable via USB? Can the RAM be upgraded? And finally, what is the rating on the NITS for this unit? My 4K gaming laptop is getting the battery replaced now by Best Buy and it is only 2.5 years old.

The Pioneer GM-DX874 four-channel amplifier will deliver up to 150 watts RMS to each of your front and rear speakers for powerful music. Highly efficient Class D technology keeps this powerful amp running as cool as it looks, and allows for a compact chassis that fits in a lot of out of the way spaces. The frequency response of this amplifier stretches up to 50,000 Hz, for Hi-Res Audio Certified playback. Pioneer uses high-grade electronic parts and gold-plated RCA connections to ensure maximum performance. Speaker-level inputs allow you to install this amp in a factory system with no RCA connections. The amplifier switches its input mode automatically when it detects the high-level signal, eliminating the need to run a turn-on lead to your receiver or fuse box. Built-in high- and low-pass filters let you adjust the sound for your vehicle's interior, whether you're driving speakers or subs.
Does this amplifier make a loud "POP!" when turning the audio system off or on, or does it have relays to prevent this annoying problem. I ask because the last time I put an amp in my truck (albeit years ago), the speakers did just that.

Apple - iPhone 11 Pro Max 256GB - Midnight Green (Verizon)
Shoot amazing videos and photos with the Ultra Wide, Wide, and Telephoto cameras. Capture your best low-light photos with Night mode. Watch HDR movies and shows on the 6.5-inch Super Retina XDR display – the brightest iPhone display yet.¹ Experience unprecedented performance with A13 Bionic for gaming, augmented reality (AR), and photography. And get all-day battery life² and a new level of water resistance.³ All in the first iPhone powerful enough to be called Pro.
Would anyone care to remark on how Apple CarPlay is compared to Android Auto? I have the latter and it kinda SUCKS as it often doesn't recognize the phone is plugged in or when I speak to it it will turn the radio UP LOUD and not hear me, etc? Thx!

Apple - iPhone SE (2nd generation) 256GB (Unlocked)
iPhone SE is the most powerful 4.7-inch iPhone ever.¹ Featuring A13 Bionic, the fastest chip in a smartphone, for incredible performance in apps, games, and photography. Portrait mode for studio-quality portraits and six lighting effects. Next-generation Smart HDR for incredible detail across highlights and shadows. Cinematic-quality 4K video. And all the advanced features of iOS. With long battery life² and water resistance,³ it's so much of the iPhone you love, in a not so big size.
Is Apple CarPlay any more reliable that Android Auto? Primary use is as a phone but when in my vehicles I use Android Auto for music and that app seems VERY "buggy", including connection problems out the wazoo! I have just about had it! Thx!

Roku - Ultra 4K Streaming Media Player with JBL Headphones and Enhanced Voice Remote - Black
Watch free or paid content over the Internet in 4K resolution with this Roku Ultra TV streaming player. The dual-band channel supports wireless streaming, while the enhanced voice remote enables hands-free operation and lets you create personal shortcut buttons. This Roku Ultra HD TV streaming player includes JBL headphones to enjoy your content privately and an Ethernet port for a wired connection.
I just bought one today and it goes back tomorrow and all because it DEMANDS that I enter a credit card number and PII, Personally Identifiable Information. Why is this necessary to register and use a Roku or any device for that matter?

Does anyone know if this box set is formatted for the US. Just got a box set from the UK and it doesn’t work in my DVD player.
This boxed set for all three John Wick films is made for the USA. I know because I gave it to my brother an his most excellent wife and they, like me, live in these United States.

This Sony BDP-S6700 Blu-ray player with 4K upscaling has built-in super Wi-Fi through MIMO. This lets you stream live from online services. Built-in Bluetooth and SongPal Link stream movies and music or connect your devices through HDMI, coaxial output, USB or Ethernet. This Sony Blu-ray player with 4K upscaling also offers child lock and parental controls.
I’m getting an error message stating that the BluRay and 3D BluRay discs I’m using are not compatible. I confirmed that they are Region A so could the issue be they I’m using a regular HDMI cable?
This is not a 3D capable player so it will not work on 3D discs. While there are bandwidth concerns for some 4K cables, I don't think this is a problem with Blu Ray discs. Of course I could be wrong and I have experienced problems with some Blu Ray and standard DVD where the player identifies the disc as unreadable and classifies it as a "CD-ROM". This upsets me no end as these discs worked fine in the past. If you wish to try a cable that is rated higher then you could purchase one meant for 4K data transfer rates (and NO! A fancy cable with really pretty connectors and the like is not needed, just the bandwidth transfer specs are) and see if it works but as this is a Blu Ray player that upscales to a faux 4K, that may not do a thing for you. I hope this helps.

Can I use a regular HDMI cable with this unit?
I don't see why not, so yes! I have heard and bought cables with different ratings but this is a Blu Ray player that can "upscale" (think "Faroudja line doubling") to 4K. My brother reports no problems so far with his and he doesn't have any special cables that I am aware of. And yes, he would tell me. So then. This is a great player and should have no problems working with a standard HDMI cable. I hope this helps!

Is amazon music icon available or can I only use Amazon music through Bluetooth?
I have Pandora Plus, SiriusXM and Amazon Music Unlimited Ultra HD on my iPhone (and previously on my Android phone) and the icons show up fpr me and I have no problem playing any of those services on my Kenwood unit via CarPlay. It works great!
I hook the phone up to Blootoof and attach the Apple cable to my phone (it is plugged into the Kenwood via a USB-A cable) and BAZINGA! I have access to the aforementioned services via CarPlay.

I already have XM Radio, do I need to buy a new receiver?
You may have to have BB hook up your XM Tuner (if possible) to the unit. If that cannot be done and you want to use that feature you can purchase an XM Tuner from BB and have it connected to the device and then have SiriusXM switch your account over to the new tuner's I.D.
I have this Kenwood in my Mustang and I had them hook the XM roof antenna up with a pigtail to my portable SiriusXM player's cradle (connected to a spare input) and BAZINGA! It works great. I can also use my streaming account via my iPhone if I so choose but out n the middle of the Arizona desert I don't always have a 4G signal to stream music but I always have my SiriusXM satellite signal.

Is this radio compatible with an IPhone XR? Also meaning, that I don't want to have to use an USB port to connect my phone. Thanks, any info will be GREATLY appreciated.
This particular unit does not have Bluetooth Android Auto/Apple CarPlay capabilities. you will have to upgrade to a different model, otherwise it works absolutely flawlessly for me with the Blootoof hooked up and the Apple cable pllugged into the USB-A port. Flawlessly.

Yes! It works GREAT with my new iPhone SE and I had Android prior to that and Android Auto stunk with the two different phones I tried but CarPlay works flawlessly for me with this Kenwood and I would tell you otherwise. Like Superman said, I never lie.
At last... I am soooooooooooooooooo happy with my stereo now that I have the Applie iPhone SE and CarPlay!
