I have Amazon Prime and it features free two day shipping. I noticed many of my packages have been slipping and not making the guaranteed delivery date shown in the product page.
Packages have been arrive five days with shipping notifications two days after the purchase date. I asked Amazon customer service and they have been giving me excuses like it's the weather, we have to find a different fulfillment center, sometimes there isn't a direct path to your location, etc.
All their excuses have been strange since I used to get packages in two days like clockwork for several years. Amazon tries to remedy this by extending my Prime membership and offering me small dollar gift cards.
I started looking at my packages and noticed Amazon was sending my packages with three day or regular UPS shipping. How could this be? Aren't my packages supposed to arrive as promised with the guaranteed two day shipping? Why is Amazon screwing Prime customers over and shipping with slow speeds? Is Prime even worth it anymore?

Annihilation Explained
The internet is abuzz with Annihilation theories, manbearpig, and interpretations. Even the media can't explain the ending but it's so simple. Spoilers ahead.
Lena (Natalie Portman) eye's shimmer at the end because she is happy her husband is a clone and doesn't fully know the past. Lena can continue her affair with Daniel without feeling guilt so that's why she hugged Oscar. Maybe both their eyes shimmer because they can have threesomes.
DNA in the shimmer is thrown into a blender. It's possible that Lena acquired that lesbian DNA from that girl that wanted to kill the team. Her eyes shimmer brightly at the possibility of having a hetero and homosexual relationship.
There is a theory that the lighthouse scene is a lie by Lena. Then explain why the guy in the hazmat suit tells Lena they investigated the sight hours before and it's all ashes.
I thought the movie was super dumb and tried to hard to become the next Inception with multiple interpretations.

BMW B58 Lifespan?
The BMW B58 engine has a heat management system which encapsulates heat for up to 36 hours. My question is does this system reduce engine and cooling component life compared to the N55? It's too soon to tell but I want to know if faster warm up and better emissions means shorter engine lifespan.

Window insulation film is worth it
Yes, window insulation film is absolutely worth it when it comes to saving money on electricity bills and home comfort.
I have seen many questions from home owners asking if insulating your windows with film works. It does. The difference is noticeable after the film is installed and it's not as drafty or cold in the winter. I have saved hundreds of dollars each year in utility bills due to this simple and easy solution.
Add blinds and heavy curtains for even more insulation and savings. All that material and dead air increases the R value and reduces the hot or cold air entering the rooms. After installing, put your hand where the insulation film is and feel how cold that air is. Without the curtains and film that cold air would be circulating around your house.
One caveat is film only minimizes the amount of loss. It's not a silver bullet. I have seen some reviewers that are disappointed with the film, but they don't recognize that it doesn't keep your room warm without heating in the Winter. It only reduces the amount of times you have to use your furnace and helps stabilize room temperature.

Installing insulating film is easy.
- Measure your window and add 1 inch to the dimensions.
- Cut the film to the measured dimensions
- Place double sided tape around window frame
- Install film and use hairdryer to shrink fit to window
3M sells a kit for patio doors and regular sized windows, but I think the duck brand works best if you are trying to cover up huge windows.
I personally went with Duck Brand and I am very happy. There is plenty of double sided tape and lots of material. It's fairly forgiving to use and the only thing I recommend is having the film be tight, otherwise there will be excess material.
