I like the solution someone mentioned above - require a password change every 6 months if an account has more than one login location. It sounds like they have the ability to collect that information.

Pictures of Julia Butters at the premier of "The Gray Man" - she is growing up! https://www.justjaredjr.com/2022/07/14/julia-butters-cameron-crovetti-premiere-new-netflix-film-the-gray-man/

He reminds me of Jeffrey Hunter, who played the original Christopher Pike in the pilot for TOS. So that was a bit distracting. I hadn't seen "Balance Of Terror" in many years and didn't immediately recognize what was going on. I finally caught on, and the episode made a lot more sense. I went back and watched the original and I liked how they merged that episode into this one.

Dolly Parton donates $1 million to support pediatric infectious disease research at Vanderbilt University Medical Center. https://www.goodmorningamerica.com/culture/story/dolly-parton-donates-million-pediatric-infectious-disease-research-85413104

It's a family owned company and Christina is a stakeholder, whether she works there or not.

Even though I know John Dean is still alive, I feared for his life in that room with Liddy. That guy was a psycho! I was not aware that Martha had died so soon after Watergate. I wonder if that "Martha was right" flower arrangement is historical. Kinda ugly, but spot on. I enjoyed the series more than I thought I would. Except for Liddy, he was just TOO creepy. (The actor did a great job!)

Princeton has a really low acceptance rate - something like 5% last year - but they have a policy that if you are admitted you will get the financial aid you need to attend. The aid is in the form of grants - not loans. Vanderbilt does this as well - my niece went there and was able to get 90% of her tuition/books/housing through a similar program. You just have to demonstrate need.

"B Positive" - it had so much talent in the cast! The first season had promise, but after the successful kidney transplant they went in a totally different direction and it got pretty awful.

I've been to 26 countries, and New Zealand is the only one that I said "I want to live here!". It's a beautiful country, with many cultures - Native, European, Malaysian, Indian, Chinese - that live together in harmony.

The Necie character has been on 4 episodes. I am also glad that Marty is getting married. I like to see characters progress. Now let's get a girl for Malcolm!

I thought it was sweet; he was realizing he had lost her.

Something like the tea ceremony, even if you don't believe in the occult, can help you focus your thoughts. And matcha is vile.

EVERYONE has an accent. (pet peeve)

I thought the barber plot was good in theory, but I kept thinking "how can anyone be THAT bad at cutting hair?" I could do better cutting with my left hand while having an allergy attack. I wish we could have seen more of Tina's group's performance. They sounded good!

Many if not most DVD players can be hacked. The region requirement is a software setting. This allows the manufacturers to sell in any country by just changing the chip setting. (And in Australia, they must by law be sold region free - at least 10 years ago this was the case.) Just google "DVD region hack codes". I hacked a Phillips DVD player - easy peasy.

DVDs in Canada and the USA are region 1, so they should work (assuming your "here" is the USA).

If we swap the genders - a 29 year old man having sex with a 17 year old girl - I think most of us would "blab".

I hate the Vanessa/Riley cheating plot arc. I don't care that they're legally married, they are cheating and it's not "sweet" or "romantic", it is disgusting. That said, I enjoyed Al's date a lot more than I thought I would. Cindy may be a bit crazy, but she handled Al's "situation" just right.

Georgie has always impressed me - he's a polite young man, even if he is a horndog. I understand why Mandy is furious. She's pregnant, doesn't have a lot of choices, and the father of her baby is too young to be much help (as much as Georgie thinks he can). She's still processing everything. EVERYONE is still processing everything, including Mary.

Netflix lost me at their last price hike. I was willing to keep it for the few shows they have that I watch, but not after the cost went up AGAIN. I might get it for a month when the next season of "The Crown" is out.

Dave is a veteran; I hope he starts working for the VA.

I'm glad it looks like things are going to work out for Morenike. I like how Bob got Chukwuemeka to get her that job by appealing to his "pharmacy oath". Morenike is a cute character and I hope to see more of her, especially with Olu and Tunde. The scenes at the end where they were talking to the gay neighbor were gold.
