if you forget to tell financial institutions
about your new cell#, it is an amazing process!
I have 3 401k's, and was locked out of 2/3 because they all wanted to do 2-factor authentication via text to the old cell.
The current 401k believe it or not I had not setup my online access, but thought I had. The reason is emails were going to my personal email mentioning 2-factor. My employer switched effective 1/1/22.

ADAS systems in cars (driving assistance)
Anyone have practical experience with advanced driving assistance systems in cars other than Tesla?
Specifically wondering about the ones that can operate in heavy traffic. Does it work well? Stop and go traffic can be brutal.

What3words App
I am a fan of an app called “what3words” that generates 3 unique words for every 10 ft x 10 ft square plot of land in the world. It is used by many emergency service organizations in Canada and the US.
Instead of having to give a gps location such as -80.451506,43.416168 you give "windows.prop.remove" to the emergency service.

Warning: Popeye’s ….
I love Popeye’s extra Spicy hot Chicken!
Unfortuneately, since retirement from Chicago to Waynesville, NC in 2015, Popeye’s has been out of my grasp …. We did do it once in Asheville, but they screwed up the order that day, 30 miles away, and when we opened ip bag, we had wrong order!

Interesting read on navigating to the moon
At least at present, navigation to the moon is primarily an effort controlled from the ground, but this may soon change and as a "GPS" system is put in place.

What is the cost
of incompetence?
I do buy into the notion that incompetence costs all of us.
For example, insurance fraud is a common area where it is said we are all paying for it.
One time I argued and argued with this insurance co that starts with an A and ends with an A, and is owned by a pharmacy that starts with a C and ends with a S.

what temp do you set your thermostat when away from home?
This past weekend I set it at 60F, which I know is a bit too high when noone is home. Just some of the paranoia of the cold temps.
In my single days I was unafraid to do 50F. Nothing ever happened.
I measured the temp in the basement and it was 55F when the house was 65F.
At times, I wonder what the relationship truly is between home temps, and the actual places the pipes are.
posting to keeping the windmill alive
HI, am posting this as my input for downloading the poi files for Red light cameras and speed cameras. When I click on keeping the windmill alive all I get is a small box with no place to input my comments. Am I doing something wrong? I have looked around where to post other than here with no luck. I have emailed support with no responses. Or am I just stupid???
Regards
