Welcome / open talk

I came up with some articles (multiple) that discussed how long a refrigerator should run, prior to adding food, when it is new.

Some said 24 hours, others said 2 esp. Samsung.

So doesn't this imply that due to the normal function of the refrigerator, it is hard to lower the temp (unlike the freezer which normally increases, and drops, 8 degrees each cycle)?

My wife and I have been getting our Social Security checks on the second Wednesday of the month. That's how it's worked from the very first payment over ten years ago. Well, this month we received our checks yesterday, Saturday, July 9, instead of this coming Wednesday, the 13th. Anyone else receive their SSA checks early this month?

Regular unleaded is down to $4.30/ gallon here in Virginia. What say you?

In, what might possibly be a POI Factory first, we're recognizing someone for the second time in a 4 week period!

This week we're recognizing, Ajasaro!

A few weeks ago, we recognized him as a prolific POI File maintainer, this week is sort of a continuation on that.

Hi All! This newbie has spent over an hour on the POI-Factory website reading FAQs and discussions but remain unclear about how a custom POI file is used.

One specific scenario that I would find valuable is to be alerted every time there is a rest area 30 miles ahead or to see one by using the "Up Ahead" function.

This is the place to talk about things that are not GPS related.

Happy Independence Day! May America be blessed with eternal years of freedom. Remember our forefathers, their ideology, sacrifices, and actions that made our nation great.

This is the official POI Factory Joke thread.

Please read all the forum rules before posting, and keep in mind...

"POI Factory is not a forum for politically charged debate.
Let's avoid topics that already have a long list of Democrat or Republican talking points or that name specific politicians."

This thread will be closed on the last day of the month and a new one will be opened.

Perhaps you can post on a new book you're reading, a new hobby you're taking up or about random finds as you finally get around to cleaning out the..., or your most recent adventure?

Anything to keep your windmill alive.

Please keep comments polite.

My wife and I were on vacation in Golden Colorado a couple of weeks ago and were were on our way to Denver airport to catch an early flight. We stopped for red red light and waited 6 full minutes but it didn't turn green. It was 2 AM and there was absolutely no traffic on the road. I backed up and pulled up to the stop line again thinking I didn't trip the timer.

by a Google camera. I was outside weed-whipping, when he drove by. I had my back to him, so no privacy issues. By the way, they must have some high speed cameras, cause he was driving fast. Now, how long before I am immortalized on Google.

That time we got our tire patched at Costco, for whatever reason, the tech replaced the green valve stem cap (part of a kit when they replaced the tires), which is long and round, with a normal one, which is shorter and more angular, i.e. normal.

This week we're recognizing, BarneyBadass for his contributions to the Increasing SC Card size thread, plus awarding an honorable mention to John from PA for furthering the scope of the discussion!

BarneyBadass has been a member of POI Factory for over 11 years and John from PA has been a member for over 8 years.

Wow! Next week it will be 13 years since I joined this community! seems like yesterday I stumbled across POI Factory with a google search!

I came across this rather humorous post in another forum. It brings to light a few issues with these new electronic key fobs some here might find interesting:

This week we're recognizing, Ajasaro!

Ajasaro has been a member of POI Factory for nearly 15 years!

We're recognizing his continued work maintaining a large number of large files! One of the more interesting and one that continues to increase in size...

This is my first ever contact with auto HVAC. the reason is I've never had a car with any issue so no need.

Anyway my wife's GM SUV has had a hissing sound that cycles, for at least this year.

Last week, I think it was Wed., it was very hot and humid. So when I drove her car to work, it was probably only 70F at most, and the car was dripping water front and rear (rear evap), so good.

This week we're recognizing Dutcherp5 & Plunder!

Dutcherp5 has been a member of POI Factory for nearly 5 years.

Plunder has been a member of POI Factory for over 14 years.

We're recognizing their efforts to help other members in EPE V6.04

Thank you both for taking the time to share information with others!
