As it gets closer to the election, the ads ramp up and some of them can get downright nasty. If you watch ad supported video streaming or frequent ad supported websites, consider using a VPN service at least until after the election and set the country to somewhere on another continent. If your video streaming is through a TV set top device, then rig up a cheap VPN gateway with a Raspberry Pi or equivalent. Whoever serves up the ads for that streaming service or website will think you’re in that country and serve up ads relevant to people living there. There’s a bit of cost and effort involved. I went from getting nothing but some of the nastiest fear mongering ads I’ve ever experienced to ads for regular household products. Though I could have done without that ad for a pain revealing cream featuring nudists in their 60s or 70s riding bikes. That really wasn’t ideal.

I recall reading ages ago a “tip” that cola could help clean/polish the bowl. Something about the citric acid doing the cleaning. “Professional” toilet cleaners do usually contain an acid in order to remove hard water deposits, but it’s a whole lot stronger than that.
Jason needs to be careful. As an owner of an iguana when I was a teen myself, I know they have absolutely no problem pooping on your head when they’re sitting up there.
