Approximate GPS Location From A Nine Digit ZIP Code
I am pretty sure I ran across a site like this in the past, but I can't seem to find it right now. Someone had a site in which you could enter a 9 digit ZIP code and it would bring you to a map of that area. I think it is possible to do right now with a digit ZIP, but I haven't found one to the finer 9 digit ZIP. Does anybody here have a URL for a site that will do that?

have you ever had a knife sharpened professionally?
I'm gonna give it a try. We have knives from 2004 that are dull.
I tried running them through the device that has 2 sets of grooves for sharpening, no dice.
I happened to find an old, unused knife, so that being the reference, wow. It's dangerous.

was adding nitrogen yesterday
Well the temps have dipped so I felt I need about 2 more psi again, so I was at Costco.
While I was doing my car, I saw something interesting.
A man got out actually on the wrong side of the pump but the hoses do reach, and he was holding a tissue, so that his fingers did not come in contact with the valve cap. Was he avoiding germs or covid or what??!

what's the worst inflation you've seen?
At work, I've seen 100% price increase on a subscription based software, but generally price increases of 5% across the board, which is not good, but tolerable.
I know there are many examples now.
But I was on amazon and came across the Noco battery terminal felt protectors that I paid 97 cents for last year. Amazon is selling them now for $9.89? lol
Will they ever come back to < $1?

going to proactively change car battery
I think unfortunately they went up like 25% at costco.
The one I have is a full 5 years old, no problems, but it doesn't pass a load test.

This week we're recognizing, Melaqueman!
Melaqueman's been a member of POI Factory for over 9 years!
This week we're appreciative of information on new Toronto, ON Red Light Cameras.
The city used to be better about announcing new locations ahead of time, so it's helpful when locals email us new camera locations as they go up.
Thanks, Melaqueman!

Google Maps is now an App on Windows 10
On Windows 10, Google Maps has always run inside the Chrome browser. That can still be done, but many Google Maps' features are missing. For example, the Saved Places are no longer visible.
A Google Maps app can easily be installed on the PC and all the features are there:

I don't know about you guys, but according to Traceroute, Facebook doesn't exist! Did some hackers take ol' Zuck out?
~ % traceroute facebook.com
traceroute: unknown host facebook.com
That means the name servers can't locate it. Whois has the registration, but not the name servers.
