I enjoy claiming it, but I'm joking when I do...

I strongly agree. One thing to add to your list: easily being able to lift things in and out of the bed, even from the side.

I never clued in when I was a kid in the 90s but we had a collection of all kinds of Disney movies on VHS tapes with handwritten labels and usually 2 or 3 movies per tape. I just thought that was normal.

I'm sure my kids will just think their Jellyfin library is normal.

"She said before the trip, she researched and verified the accuracy of her claim with Parks Canada and local outfitters in Qikiqtarjuaq and Pangnirtung."

Given the above, I can't really fault her too much. I would put more of the blame on Parks Canada.

I played through this a long time ago. It is a really cool idea well implemented. Would recommend.

Sadly, dentures don't usually just fall in the toilet. They come loose during vomiting. As a plumber, I always feel extra bad when getting them out of a toilet.

I've built a small office for myself with outlets all over the room. They are all on one circuit I'd like to protect them all with a single surge protector.

I imagine their should be some product similar to a GFI outlet that would protect itself and everything past it on the circuit. I could mount it next to my panel and run the wiring straight to it before continuing on to my office. But I can't find such a device.

The two closest things I've found are a whole home surge protector which seems like overkill. And this outlet from Leviton which is a surge protector, but only for itself. It won't protect anything else on the circuit.

I could obviously use a power bar with a built in surge protector but part of the idea of having a bunch of outlets around the room was to remove the need for a power bar and keep everything cleaner.

Does anyone know if what I'm imagining actually exists?
