If you’re interested in the old Netflix and Chill but bae isn’t close enough to cuddle up to on the couch, then that’s quite a modern problem. But now there’s a modern answer in the form of a nifty Chrome extension designed to sync up your binge-viewing with a friend. Netflix Party is a third-party Chrome extension that gives you the opportunity to generate a link that gives people access to a synchronized video and a chat room. Users can elect to have full control of the feed, or share hosting duties. The app is limited to the Web view of Netflix only and, from a few superficial tests, it doesn’t seem like it plays nicely with Chromecast. This app isn’t the only one of its kind, as well — there’s an extension called Showgoers, released this year, that has a lot of the same technology in addition to the opportunity to hold public viewing sessions with people who come to the website looking for content. So, if you want to watch all of the episodes of ‘Fuller House’ with a friend across the country, there are options out there for you.

That owner also said she’s not sure who the person in the video, but she’ll be looking at it and investigating. Scott said she will address the issue of hopping trains with her employees.
A Big Rapids man makes his plea after being accused of shooting arrows at police Officers. 27-year-old Wesley Snyder has pleaded guilty to two counts of assault with intent to murder. This comes after the man ambushed officers in January while they were investigating an assault in an apartment building. On Jan. 16, officers were trying to get a statement from Wesley Snyder about a Jan. 10 assault in which he’s a suspect. When they arrived at his apartment that afternoon, they say Snyder was in his doorway with a knife, bow, and arrows. He fired arrows at the officers, according to police, and then charged at them. In the fight, Snyder and a police sergeant fell down a flight of stairs; after that, Snyder was subdued by a stun gun and then arrested. The police sergeant who fell down the stairs had several facial cuts, as well as injury to his eye and eye socket from Snyder’s thumb. The suspect is scheduled to be sentenced on May 11th.
