If you have a central vac system you can also get like neat cabinet floorboard inset dust pans. Sweep the dirt in front of the slot, push a button, and sloooop, away the dirt goes.

Ok that is pretty loving sweet and would be killer for a house with a lot of hardwood floors.

Zorch! Splat! Pow!

My parents taught me as a young child that you always stay until the end of the credits to pay respects to the crew (and look for interesting names).

Looking back at this now as a parent myself, I am pretty sure it was just an excuse to sit still in a darkened room for five minutes.

for my dad, it was about enjoying free music. once, as an adult, I went to see a movie with my wife, stayed through the credits, looked over to see that only two other people were in the theatre and it was my parents

Is that the one where there's a spider planet trapped in some kind of hell winter and a weird mind-wiping bunch of humans are orbiting it in their doom fleet and the humans listen in on the radio broadcasts of the emerging spider civilization and some of the mind-wiped humans are used as translators of the broadcast and start beating each other up because the flickering remnants of their souls really, really get into spider rivalries?
Sorry for the long sentence, I read that book decades ago, and it all started coming back to me.
(And the humans believed they were emerging, so they called themselves the Emergency!!)

I thought there was a movie like this already, it started out identical to Shrek 2 but daddy longlegs's slowly filter into the scene until they've covered every surface, then they cover the camera and start spilling out into the audience moments later while distorted air raid sirens play over the sound system

when I got it on DVD they seemed to have redone the entire movie to just be Shrek 2 though

Yup, that's the one.

The planet's sun only turns on for a couple decades every 200 years, so the planet's life has developed (or was engineered to have) extreme hibernation. The 'good guy' mercantile fleet, the Qeng Ho, detected radio signals during the star's last On cycle, and headed over, only to find the Emergent fleet, another branch of space-faring humans that had just managed to claw their way back into space after a devastating war, had also arrived. The current dark cycle was nearly over, so both fleets decided to pool resources and wait to greet the planet's sentient species when they reawoke.
The Emergents ambushed the Qeng Ho and used a virus to turn many of them into autistic savants, who cared about nothing but their area of Focus. They used Focused translators to translate the recently-reawakened species of intelligent spider-like beings on the planet, which is the context of the Spider sections of the book, and why they're portrayed very human-like. They get too into it and taking sides.
Fire Upon the Deep involves some hubristic humans awakening and running from a malevolent godlike entity, escaping to a world where the sentient natives are packs of wolf-like animals that create a gestalt self from 3-8 individual animals, using ultrasound.
I love the Zones of Thought books.

Yeah, that's about it. I remember liking it for a while, then getting weirded out by the character who starts like a little sister to the protagonist, then is aged up as he hibernates and she doesn't. There was some gross, unnecessary sex stuff with her that really put me off the whole book.
