Well, my favorite has been DiBruno's Sicilian Pepperoni, -- but they were recently bought up by some corporation so we'll see how it goes.

Hrm. I was one of those viewers. I didn't think it was awful, but it wasn't so strong that I'd recommend it, either.
Lobster Newburg
Hey! Today is "NATIONAL LOBSTER NEWBURG DAY - March 25"
I've made 'seafood' newburg dishes at home at least twice in the last few years (crab and shrimp). I think I like using Harveys Bristol Cream Sherry more than Cognac and serving it on rice is easier than any pastry/bread-y thing. The above has a link to a standard recipe on All Recipes, but I'll put it in the below list, to show how the other two vary.
From Steam founder Gabe Newell, 2011:
We think there is a fundamental misconception about piracy," Newell said. "Piracy is almost always a service problem and not a pricing problem. For example, if a pirate offers a product anywhere in the world, 24/7, purchasable from the convenience of your personal computer, and the legal provider says the product is region-locked, will come to your country three months after the U.S. release and can only be purchased at a brick and mortar store, then the pirate's service is more valuable.
The same can be said of movies/tv -- except Steam saw the issue before EA and everyone made their own streaming stores, whereas all the video distributors have splintered into their own services.
I'm not sure where/why Hulu failed to gain the sort of share Steam attained. It existed early on and had ... at least 3 big networks (iirc, not cbs? but abc, nbc and fox -- then nbc dropped out to just do peacock, I think). Perhaps hulu didn't pay enough for rights or perhaps Apple, Netflix and Amazon represented too many other players to make the equivalent arguments as Steam made.
I got around to finishing Interior Chinatown (hulu) and was disappointed. I don't want to spoil it for others, but I think I can safely complain that it wrapped things up in an unsatisfying manner.
I always watch 'Elsbeth' because my mother watches it.
I stumbled onto The CW's 'Good Cop/Bad Cop' last week and watched all the current episodes this week because it seems exactly like the thing my mom will enjoy: a mix somewhere between the setting and townie bonding of 'Resident Alien' (with no Alien or other-worldly aspects) and the silly sleuthing of 'Elsbeth' (without the expensive sets and celebrities).
I was looking for something new to watch, but could not stomach Suits LA.
There's a lot of news and programming on the radio and TV I would not have seen in the 70s and 80s without networks using satellites to bounce signals across continents and oceans. I'm pretty sure there were phone calls I could not have made in those decades without satellites.
I'm not sure if we have enough intercontinental cables across the seafloors to handle all the traffic if satellites didn't exist -- heck, I'm not even sure if networks like BBC or NBC still use satellites to send their tv/radio signals to distant lands. The thing is they used to and I'm sure it mattered to me in ways I didn't particularly notice at the time.
A quick search didn't find great references (so many links on current satellite tech that the old tech seems buried) , but see: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Telstar#In_service and maybe https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intelsat_I
Edit: comm satellite firsts: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_communications_satellite_firsts
This makes me sad. It also encourages me to quote AP articles rather than Rueters.
