It's often clogged inside the internals of the unit itself and not just the head. The ones from plumbing supply companies cost more but the internal tubes and stuff are wider and minerals and sediment take longer to build up. Those ones can have steady pressure for like 15-20 years, where the same-ish model from a big box store, which has smaller internals will develop lower pressure within just a few years. It's hard choice though to spend $250 at Home Depot versus $650 at a pro plumbing supply place, though.

Give Mayans a look.
Are you kidding? We're in a golden age of television, there's more quality shows on now than you can possibly watch.... and enough back catalogue to keep you going 24/7 for years!

Notice how you can no longer hold the phone to your ear with a raised shoulder like old school. The mic doesn’t pick up my voice doing that.
This I’m sure is a way to force the use of ear buds.

Just found out favorite summer restaurant officially bites the dust. Can’t renew lease. Closed for good. Hear me scream
New TV arrived with a new stand. The bloody stand went together with no problems, and the damn TV set it self up. All I had to do was plug in in.
DAMN YOU TV GODS!!! HOW DARE YOU MAKE LIFE EASY!!!
My dad bought one of those new fangled TV's in the 60's that came with a voice-activated remote.
He was always telling one of us kids, "Hey, change the channel!", "Turn up the volume!", "Adjust that antenna a little!"
Darn remotes never had the batteries run out either.

Having only 3 channels really didn’t warrant needing a remote
My dad spent his early years in Siberia. I grew up in Los Angeles. Chances for a ride to school in almost any weather- about zip. And yeah, I actually got the “crossing a frozen river with wolves’s eyes glistening in the distance to get to school“ lecture.
I heard a Japanese comedienne tell a joke once like that.
"You know how you always get a "I had it worse when I was a kid" story when you complain how hard your life is to your parents. If I complained as a kid, my father would say, "Well, when I was a kid, they dropped the atomic bomb on us!" How are you gonna answer that???"

Yup. That definitely trumps “I had to walk 5 miles to school in the snow and it was uphill both ways”!
Of course it does. Who wants to get off the couch to change the channel?
get off the couch ? Heck no that what kids are forOf course it does. Who wants to get off the couch to change the channel?
I thought the kids were for holding the antenna in place during the game?
"When I was your age 9mm ammo was $5 a box....all you can buy! and primers were $100 a case."
The world is jacked when you punish your kids by forcing them to go outside. I hate electronics with a passion.
Wow
My kids love the outdoors. They've actually been doing their schoolwork outside in the afternoons this week with some warmer weather.
Don't get me wrong, they love their electronics but they enjoy being outside too
I remember when back catalogue didn't exist, it was just stuff that hadn't been on yet.
I drive a lot for work, typically 4k miles per month and to avoid losing my mind I just ignore most things related to poor driving. Until this week, when I saw an 18 wheeler whip off a U Turn in the middle of the interstate. As he was turning in the Emergency Only U Turn he got caught in no man's land and half the trailer was sticking out in the high speed lane from where he was turning from. A semi in the north bound lane saw this stupidity and hit his 4 ways then slowed down to give Mr Stupid time to complete his incredibly reckless maneuver. The unreal part is that he could have driven 5 more minutes and got off at the next exit.
