Lived close to a large hospital for a while. Our section of the grid never saw those blackouts.

Same except it we are right under a cell tower. It must be somewhere very high on the priority list - probably for emergency services. We are always the first to get power back after a storm too.

    Oh yeah Flavacol is the best. I also really like using coconut oil.

    Ours is 8 oz(1 cup kernels) but it's a true popcorn machine because it does the heating, and the turning. I really like it. It's enough to feed ~10 people with a little bowl, and it only takes ~10 minutes so it's easy to make seconds to share, and I've never had anyone have room for thirds.

    We tried an air popper but I just can't get the right flavor

    I bought a projector for what it would've cost for me to take myself and my kids to the movies 3 times. It's actually really nice to enjoy the classics outdoors/indoors, wherever.

    We have watched so many movies we've upgraded to a better speaker, and got a mini popcorn machine.

    Beyond worth it.

    I will likely bever step into a theatre again
