I hear great things about Jellyfin, but I'm in the Plex camp too. The availability of the Plex app is a big factor. I'm a bit biased in that I bought a lifetime membership years ago so I get all the premium features as well. I believe they still offer deals on plex lifetime membership from time to time. It is really worth it!

This is not really relevant to the discussion at hand (and think your comments are spot on) but you keep using "WILDCATS" in reference to militias... unless there's a different reference that I don't know about, I think you mean the "WOLVERINES". That was the name of the militia formed by kids in Red Dawn (it was their sports team name if I recall correctly)

It definitely would make a good Black Mirror episode. My problem is the ending sequence is so brutal and off putting that I find it hard to rewatch for recommend to others.

It was neat to recognize the actor who played Hector Salamanca in it though as the professor. That guy has awesome range!

Which one though? There's the David Lynch version, the Sci Fi mini series, and the most recent adaptation. They all have their pros/cons, but I honestly prefer the Sci Fi mini series. It's lower budget than the movies, but I think they did a great job at adapting the source material.

Primer or really any good time travel movie. For Primer, you pretty much have to re-watch out to make sense of what is going on. Highly recommended though!

Snowpiercer! Great movie by the same director as Parasite

Trazadone works really well. The only drawback I find his if I need to use the bathroom during the night (getting older sucks) - makes me feel really unsteady kind of like I'm drunk.

Yeah, I get this too kinda. I find I get really vivid dreams when wake up but fall back asleep

There's a French idiom for this: "Avoir l'Esprit d'Escalier" which means "The Wisdom of the Staircase". Basically, you often think of the best thing to say after you left and are walking down the staircase.

Just the ability to fall asleep instantly would be a godsend

For authentic poutine, it has to be curds! St-Albert preferrably.

You should see the letter he sent to his followers. Some of the most bizarre and unhinged stuff I have ever seen. Random capitalization, dropping weird nicknames he's made up, and long run on sentences. It's crazy to think someone that incoherent was once president.
