Kagi lets you do that, and a lot of other tweaking such as searching within categories of sites.

From the musical episode “Once More, With Feeling.” Buffy’s Watcher, Giles, more recently known as the ex-husband in Ted Lasso, is played by actor/singer Anthony Head, younger brother of Murray Head.

One of my teen twins decided to do my nails in black a few months ago, and I decided I kinda liked it, so I’ve periodically kept it up. I’m claiming it’s me going for a punk look.

Worth touring for the architecture and great view from the back lawn, though some of the rooms are really gaudy, clearly meant to show off wealth more than decorative taste.

I live outside Williamsburg and have had their service since last year. It’s about ⅔ the price of Comcast for a faster connection that’s more reliable. I’ve also had a much better experience with their support the couple times I’ve talked with them than I ever did with Comcast.

One of the first anime series I ever watched, and fan subbed no less.

My kids are much older now, but we always supported them watching Dinosaur Train, in which the clearly independently wealthy Pteranodon family with their adopted son (a t-rex) go on a mysteriously large number of vacations via a maybe-magical train to visit other dinosaurs in various climates and time periods.

We also liked PBS’s Word Girl, which mixes superpowers and grammar with kind of a Rocky and Bullwinkle style humor.

We loathed Octonauts and especially Littlest Pet Shop, both of which, sadly, my kids really enjoyed.

It helps to think of it very much as Canterbury Tales: a frame story in which a group of pilgrims traveling together have spare time and share their life stories. In this case there’s enough overarching story to make you want to know what happens when they arrive at their destination, but that’s not this novel. It is very much the following ones.

Specifically, a prison transport van taking a murderer to be executed collides with a truck toting toxic chemicals in the middle of a blizzard, in the peaceful town of Snowmonton. It’s amazing. I love this movie for being so over the top.

O’Neill: “Teal’c, what is that?” Teal’c: “It is a Gua’uld long range visual communication device, somewhat like your television, only much more advanced.” O’Neill: “Huh. Think it gets Showtime?”

(SG-1 was originally on Showtime before moving to what was then the Sci Fi Channel.)

I must have forgotten about this one. 😀 I can’t actually recall others beyond the whole Wormhole X-Treme thing.

Misspelling detection in the Spanish course for English speakers is highly hit and miss.
