Welcome / open talk

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.

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

Any great deals from anyone? I feel like this day is for bad deals and price scamming, but someone might have gotten some decent prices.

I wasn't really looking for anything, but I did see that there were many computer monitors on "sale"

To those that celebrate, that holiday.

To the rest of you, happy Thursday!

I learned this only 2 years ago when I replaced my wife's water pump. You know how it goes, do the job, then super paranoid about any subsequent leaks, and checking very carefully for the next week or so.....

The above was just released. It helps with IPhone 12 & 13 dropping calls. Quick update.

It looks like electricity is up 31%, and natural gas 50%.

Health care was only up like 3% lol

When I brought up Chrome this morning I was greeted by a new screen that showed

"What’s new in Chrome
Chrome gets faster and easier to use with each update. New features to try: a better way to send links and find your tabs faster."

I gave the subject a cursory glance and there seems like a couple of things that might be useful.

For the last 2 weeks every time i log in to POIfactory I have to enter my log in info which is slightly annoying.
Though I suspect that the reason may be that now and for the next 5 months my ISP is a Mexican ISP. Using a VPN would take longer to use so Ive ruled that out.
Other than logging in every time is there another solution?

Now that Android 12 is available to Pixel phones should you install it?

With the holidays approaching, the "Porch Pirates" will again be out in force. What do others here do to prevent package theft?

This week we're recognizing John From PA!

John From PA has been a member of POI Factory for over seven and a half years!

This week we're recognizing him for his discussion forum participation. There were multiple discussions last week where John shared his thoughts and experience. Active participation in discussions is what keeps this forum going.

My son got his yellow belt in karate, so we said we'd reward him.

He chose an Angry Bird's Lego set, out of production. I saw $89 / free shipping eBay, new sealed in box, got it.

Was like $120 on amazon blah blah blah

Then I found something where it was $50 when brand new.

DOH!!!

While reading through the "Do you dislike debt?" post (http://www.poi-factory.com/node/51864), the end seemed to turn into a most liked vehicle discussion, so I thought I would open one up here.
