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.

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.

This article won't be of interest to everybody here, but for some in public safety, this is important.

House Built in 2013. From 2013 - 2015 we wired it with ethernet cables and such...Best at that time was CAT6 GB Cable. Retired in 2015.... Very Happy with my work!
We added cables to upgrade system in 2016-2019.... Again, CAT6.. Works fine...

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.

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.

Got my policy renewal tonight and the rate went down 13.9%. It's 18% lower than when I started in August 2019.

I texted my buddy and he says, "Well that's fine but those big cos are expensive anyway."

lol don't hate the playa, hate the game!

Hey we're not driving, it's a mutual co., and there has to be less overall losses, right?

Has anyone received or scheduled their Vaccine yet?
My is scheduled for the 5h of Feb.

Last weekend, I said huh? Yet another daytime running lamp burned out, on my wife's GM SUV. Again, this is a known issue back to the early 90's and GM has a TSB from 1992-2013. If 3157 bulb burns out, install a higher current 4114 lol yeah that will do it (it's bad advice but I do have a pack of 4114 in the basement--31w v. 27w, not good).
