Once again, I feel like an idiot, because there was no response when I saw this Q.
Happens a lot even with a refreshed page.

In language it is a tilde but in science I also think it means "about" or "approximately"

If you leave the browser open for long periods you might try clearing "cookies" every once in awhile or log off then back on. Sometimes browsers are lazy and just reload what's in memory.
