At my absolute wits end with targeted spam texts, what solution actually works?

This has been an ongoing problem for about 8 months, and I've been pulling my hair out trying to solve it. I have an Android S24 with up to date OS.

At some point, some guy named Robert at a company named epilogue systems must have signed up for some mailing list about business loans and wrote my number down by mistake. For months now I've been getting 10 to 12 texts a day that are some variation of trying to offer me line of credit or business loans for my company, often asking for Robert by name and mentioning the specific company. I've tried texting them back letting them know it's not him, but that's been useless. I've been signed up to incognee for a few months and that has practically eliminated all the generic spam calls and texts I get, but it hasn't touched these. I downloaded fdroid Spamblocker here, and set up rules to block particular keywords that are often used, but even when a text gets flagged by one of the rules it still comes through, so I don't think it works properly.

I'm hoping someone can offer suggestions for a program or app that I can actually have success with avoiding these messages, with or without keyword blocking. This has been driving me absolutely insane, so any help is greatly appreciated.

I know it's already been said, but this is insane

16 jump/ attacks in 30 seconds, I don't mind certain things in this game being difficult but it shouldn't take expert skill and timing to catch a freakin Bidoof

Low fever / run down 6 days post-op

I had septoplasty and turbinate resection last Friday 5/15, with the splints being removed Monday 5/18. I'm admittedly a bit of a hypochondriac, and I think the doc may have undersold the recovery process in general (I coach LL for my son and originally he told me I should be able to make the game on 5/16, the day after... yeah, obviously that did not happen), but I just wanted to do sort of a sanity check to make sure the symptoms I'm having are normal, and I trust actual experiences over checklists from random websites.

Starting 5/18 I've run a low-grade fever on and off, forehead temp maxing at about 100.3 with the temp right around the nose and cheeks being slightly higher. I've read a lot of accounts of this happening so I wasn't too concerned, but I feel like it should be going away by now? Today particularly I've also felt pretty flu-ish and run-down with it, more than I have the past few days.

I was given Amoxicillin after the procedure and will finish that today, so I'm concerned that I should maybe ask for more / something stronger? On the other hand I don't know if I'm just worrying over nothing. If anyone has any thoughts I'd really appreciate it. Thanks!

Laser Mill opinions

Hi all, I grew up in Reading suburbs and live about 2.5 hours away now, but come down regularly for family visits. Growing up my friends and I basically lived at LaserQuest in West Reading by The Works, and I was super bummed to see they closed after COVID. I just found out The Works added the property to their stuff and reopened it as Laser Mill. Has anyone who's been there know how the experience stacks up to the old LQ? Is it the same arena as before? I'd love to take my kids there, but want to make sure it's still good. Thanks!
