I have a 1950 house and it still has the original windows in it. I have lived with them for a long time, but really looking upgrade some things in the house. I am actually unemployed right now and may sell if I move somewhere else. However, if I get a job here, I think I will upgrade them. That said, the house is likely a tear down when I sell, so I am looking not to spend a lot on them as I really don't need a 20 year window as I will likely sell and retire elsewhere within 10 years.

I like Pella, but overkill on their non-vinyls and have read the vinyls are not great. That said, they are doing a 0% APR for 72 months, so can push the cost way out in time. Suggestions about other ways to go

Somebody, please invent a filter for texts so that if the word “act blue” appears in it, it is immediately blocked, deleted, and reported. End our national nightmare!

Where can I find the best restaurant ketchup packets around here? Disappointed with what I have found at the burger places I have been to.

I just loaded iOS 26.5 on my phone at the request of t-mobile due to calls breaking up lately. Man, is it slow. I have heard mixed things here, some slower, others fine. What are people really seeing? My phone is 512 GB.

I recently bought some tires from a Canadian-based company via their website. They did not charge me US sales tax. I asked about this and they said the tires are not being shipped from Canada, but instead from US tire warehouse businesses in the US that they have contract with. Is this legal? They are basically undercutting their US-based competitors by evading US taxes.

I am very disappointed that Target is discontinuing the Good & Gather Date Nut Bars. It was my favorite product at Target. It is not the first time they have discontinued a Good & Gather product that I bought regularly and loved. It is disappointing that they don't understand that one of the reasons that drive people to shop at Target is their private label brand products and when they get rid of them, they just give customers reasons to shop elsewhere. Does anyone happen to know what company was making this product for Target so I can try and get them elsewhere? Thanks.

I need to get tires this week. Am in US (DC area). I will ship to local installer to install. Anyone dealt with 1010tires? They have a great deal on the ones I want, but the phone service is awful (I called them last week, got sick of waiting in queue, and used their call me back...never got a call back) and their live chat is an email system, not chat. After trying to reach them for hours (including all of the suckers like me in the queue), I looked up holidays in Canada and of course it is Victoria Day. They say the US deliveries come from US distributor warehouses (how US customers don't have to pay tariffs). Anyone got any idea how fast the shipping is? Website doesn't tell you until aft

I know there are posts with tire recommendations, but all the recs are brand names like Continental, Pirelli, etc. Unemployed, so trying to save money.

I have a 2019 A6 Prestige they found for me fully loaded, so don't know if it had special tires. Have Pirelli 255/40 R20 on it and I do have the back wheels can turn feature. Am being told I have to replace all 4 since Quattro. Car has 18k miles on it since pandemic working from home right after I purchased it. In the Washington DC area if that matters.

Any suggestions on the non-name brand ones. Looking at NTB/Mavis and they have house brand and some Chinese and other US brands. Any any good?

I have been noticing for the last couple of days a lot of low altitude flights over Arlington. According to flight radar, flights taking off from National Airport using the north bound runway are taking a left turn and flying over Arlington now while still fairly low. The standard flight pattern has always been to fly up the Potomac until they are high enough to turn towards where ever they are going. What has changed? Is this life in Arlington now?
