There can (still) be only one: Highlander is 40
Sure, it's cheesy in many respects, but its central mythology still resonates even decades later.

Not long after the recovery of lost Doctor Who, a lost episode of Mystery Science Theater 3000 turns up at a Minnesota garage sale. Keep circulating the tapes! https://www.avclub.com/mystery-science-theater-3000-lost-episode-k03-found

Back in January, #Ugreen had a pre-order for their new line of NAS units, which I happily plunked down $30 to secure. This week, they changed the process to make the pre-order basically be a lottery via Kickstarter with no guarantees to pre-order holders.

So now I'm refunding that "pre-order" and they're out a customer for life. Scammy bait-and-switch tactics gets you no business. Don't buy Ugreen

@hypomodern no recommendations but I'm in the same boat (not liking Clarkson) so I'd be curious for a summary if you do get responses

I'm also blocked from ordering without completing this "upgrade" to my profile so, good work DiBella's, I can no longer order online, even disabling all my ad-tech blocks

DiBella's "upgraded" their authentication system (and I assume some backend ordering system). It's so bad that the active "Save and Continue" button to complete a profile doesn't work, I assume because my browser is blocking some godawful ad-tech
