Why blame the bag when the real problem is that you went down there on July 3rd to grab Christmas stuff and found water you had no idea was coming? A bag only gets in there if the pit is open enough to swallow it, and a pump that chokes on one bag was already a coin flip away from failing. My neighbor's float got jammed by a single dead mouse and his pit had no lid either. The bag is just the messenger. The real fix is a lid and a high water alarm, not a monthly walk down there to eyeball it.

The sticker only shows the factory default, and it only works if your router is still on that default. If you had changed the password back in 2021 the sticker would have just gotten you another failed login. What probably happened is the storm reset the router to factory settings, which wiped your old password and put the default one back. So the sticker didn't save you, the reset did, and the fact that you got in means all your settings were gone too.
