I say unusual .. because it was actually much better than expected.
Having decided a few months ago that i would grow a beard in my effort to fully immerse myself in my new-found fully-fledged long-awaited legal American citizen status ... I figured that i should probably buy myself some kind of a beard trimmer to stop the beard from taking on a life of its own.
I ended up with a Remington trimmer ... had a nice little beard guard and a slider on the side that you could set anywhere from one to nine depending on the length of trim that you liked.
Have been using said trimmer for a few weeks now and all has been going swimmingly ... after each trim i take off the "guard" and rinse it out and leave it on the sink to dry off ..
Time for my weekly trim this week and the guard is missing (i can only assume that it had fallen off the sink into the trash bin and had been taken out with the garbage sometime last week .. ) so i went to the Remington site to source a replacement guard ...
Having browsed the site i ended up using the "contact us" link as the guard piece was nowhere to be found on the site ... that was early Sunday morning. I politely asked where i might buy a replacement guard, how much said guard might cost me and how much shipping would be on top of that - and how could i make payment .... (I had expected $4-5 for the replacement piece .. and an extra $3-4 for shipping)
Today i got the following reply ...
"Thank you for contacting Remington, we are sorry to hear that you are no longer able to use the attachments to the MB-300. You will receive the replacement
attachments as a onetime complimentary offer within 10-15 business days.
Thank you,
Remington Consumer Service"
That was all .. simple easy and right to the point and all within 24 hours of sending them an email ...
You always read so much about how bad customer service has gotten lately .. and its almost impossible to recall a time when i was last taken aback by a reply from a "contact us" email that i had sent from a website (in fact its unusual nowadays to even get a reply)
So i figured I'd come here and share with you guys .. and let you know .. if you are ever on the lookout for a new razor/trimmer/whatever ..
Remington still appear to have at least one person in their customer service department that knows what the "customer" in customer service still means.
Very small thing - very low cost - but had a big impact for me and will ensure next time I'm looking for any kind of product that Remington makes .. they will now probably be my first choice.

Over the past few weeks, I have had problems connecting to streaming services (Netflix, HBO et al). When I go to the TV's native Channels, I have no problem. The Dish internet troubleshooter shows I have a good internet connection. I'm wondering whether it's an issue with my internet provider or a problem with the Dish software on the Hopper Plus. Anyone else seeing this?

It states the average amount they are under water is OVER $7,000. 
Personally, I tend to be the type that drives a vehicle for a lot of years....do my own oil changes and other fluid changes. Just replaced the spark plugs and a couple coils. Youtube is great for things like this.

Sometimes a thread gets so many posts in it that is can cause issues for the server so that why today we introduce The Song Name Game Part 3!
So let the game continue!
The last song was added by Bobby who posted...
One Meat Ball - Andrews Sisters
CONTINUE ON AND HAVE FUN! WELCOME HOME TO SATELLITEGUYS.US!
Here are the original rules for the game as posted by WebbyDude back in 2006. http://www.satelliteguys.us/threads/68645-Song-Name-Game
Just name a song title and the band who performed it. The next person does the same thing, but needs to list a song title or band name which includes a word from the previous entry. Pick songs from any genre.
Example:
Long Live Rock and Roll -- Rainbow
Rainbow in the Dark -- Dio
Another example:
Ride the Lightning -- Metallica
Lightning Strikes -- Ozzy Osbourne
Get it?
An additional note: we all know that song titles, sometimes, use profane words. Because this is a family friendly website it is advised that you clean up that title up a bit. This is accomplished by using something like sh!t instead of the real word. Thanks....

Lately my eight year old Dell laptop has been shutting off even when I have a full battery. I have had to keep it plugged up all the time to keep this from happening. Any idea what is causing this? I replaced the battery about three years ago.

I set up a music server for my brother a few years ago. It's basically a small headless computer but it needs to have a DHCP IP address reserved for it in the router settings. This was easy to do in his DSL router. He's switching to Starlink now and I was wondering if these setting are easily accessible in the Starlink router. I'm pretty sure he will be getting the latest V5 router.

If you can restrict the DHCP address space to assign addresses to one end of the subnet (i.e. x.x.x.50+), you can manually assign the IP address on pretty much any operating system. This is a default behavior on several popular routers. As the Router Mini only supports 235 devices, I expect that's already done.
Another option is to use a router that supports PoE to power the antenna. This article discusses that option (under PoE Power heading):
