    I've read through the entire series multiple times, but haven't gotten past S02E01 of the show. Show/Game Drummer is a combination of Book Drummer and Michio Pa, right?

    Give Andor a shot, if you haven't yet. Not a single force power used the entire season, nor Jedi/Sith in sight.

    the more important The Force is to a Star Wars work, the less I enjoy it.

    3 was poop. 4 started low, got progressively better every episode, and then the finale fell on it's face. Seasons 3 and 4 were both a criminal waste of Thandiwe Newton's talents.

    I used the Kagi beta for a few months before they started charging monthly, was pretty good, only had to turn to Google for like 3% of my searches.

    Yep.com is pretty good as well.

    I run my own SearXNG instance now and use it on all my devices. All searches are sent through a SOCKS5 proxy to an AWS VPS so my home IP doesn't get leaked (hopefully). It's quite a bit slower (search takes 2-3 seconds to complete) and doesn't support autocompletion in browser URL bars (amongst other bugs), but it's good to have results from multiple engines on the same page.

    The kid's clothes are decently representative of the 90s, but that's it.

    Fascinating! I wonder how hard it would be to retrofit grain/crop siloes on farms to these sand batteries.
