more good ol' American customer service
I was in the bathroom....drip, drip, drip
That's funny all the cartridges are 2020, sink and shower.
My hunch? Whenever a drip is steady, it's a leak, like it or not.
So I proceed to troubleshoot the shower, even remove the shower head to make sure it's not dumping water that's residual (but again the drip was steady). With it completely removed, still dripping.

Bucs’ rout of Chiefs earns worst Super Bowl rating since 1969
I used to watch all the pro games I could. They might blame covid but that's not why I didn't watch a single pro game this season.

Do you tear wiper blades in the winter?
I just noticed getting the wipers unstuck from my wife's car, the end is torn.
This clearly happened last year as well.
What happens is the torn part wiggles and creates a streak.
I never gave it any thought in all the years of driving!
Her wipers are like $27 each at the dealer, and $19 on eBay.

this doesn't happen all the time (pkg smaller, price decreases)
Went to grab paper towels at Costco and there was a sign, I wish I took a pic, as if to assure customers you are not paying more even though the package is smaller.
So I get home and check, lo and behold the paper towels are now 898.3 sq ft, used to be 1026.
The old package was $16.99, the new, $14.79.

pop up ads
I've noticed that whenever I come to this website, I'm getting tons of pop up ads, some related to poi-factory polls or ads . Is this my computer or is poi-factory doing this to receive commission? ive tried to adjust my laptop setting so I get no pop up ads but it' s not working. Anyone have any ideas on how to stop this.

New Windows 10
Just saw this video of the new layout of Win10.
I wish they would leave things alone. Major updates every 6 month. I'm always nervous they're going to break my computer.
This has a lot of flash but I don't think it's necessary.
You decide https://youtu.be/1pJ6rqSHGvk

Different colors of text in subject headings
Observant as I am... I just noticed that the subject headings in some of the forums (Garmin) have two shades of blue. Why.. and what does it signify?
Just curious,
Thanks
