I never really thought about farm animals and fireworks. How about chickens/horses/etc?

The big issue with laptops tends to be cooling, but something with a decent CPU and enough RAM can still do a good job since in many cases you're not tapping the graphics chip/core, which is often the biggest source of heat.

That said, for small personal services even an 8GB Pi4 can do a pretty decent job.

Q: When you do that, does it somehow segregate the session/cookies from the rest of your browsing with the browser

Yeah, mine complained about the server version but from what I can see everything still works ok.

Ditto. I still do read Reddit because there are some subs there which had not significantly moved over (yet, hopefully), but I post and interact more on here.

Somehow despite not being horror this movie nearly scared the crap out of me when I was younger. There was an sense of suspense that just had me really on edge by the end

That reminds me. I need to buy the movie. Everyone in my house has already seen it but I'm hoping DVD sales improve the margins a bit

I loved how it referenced a ton of things from D&D in terms of both tabletop stuff and TSR novels etc, but didn't try to cinematize the plot of any book in particular nor really focus on any particular book storyline etc.

I honestly loved it. I felt it was a decent movie with lots of easter eggs and iconic lore/characters in it, that was made by somebody who appreciated the source material. This is as opposed to say, the Mario movie which felt more low "let's toss in as many game characters and references as we can, then add some plot to that". D&D was a savory soup with just about the right amount of spices, meat, and vegetables.

Mario was still an ok soup, but it had less broth/base and an almost overwhelming number of chunks of stuff in it.
