Yes. I rarely print documents, but as a hobby arts and crafter, I do print of lot of stuff for my projects. Screw inkjets, but they do have a really high resolution in photo mode, which is the only reason I haven’t ditched my nightmare printer for a laser yet.
I just had a colleague mock me (good naturedly) the other day for having an android phone. I just laughed and said, I’m no fan of Google but at least I can install what I want on here. That was the end of it, haha.
My old Lenovo tablet has the USB port upside down on the plug, and consequently, the micro USB also plugs into the tablet upside down. And for some reason, stupid thing always breaks the little notches on the micro USB, so you have to position everything in a way so that it won’t slide out while charging.
The company I work for insists on almost every damn bit of stock arriving in delivery to be wrapped in a plastic bag. I’ve complained to management, they just laugh. Apparently I can’t have any contact details for head office (not surprising since I’m not even allowed to contact HR directly and have to talk to them via a store manager). That’s like 1000+ items coming in twice a week where almost all of it is individually wrapped in a bag.
Not only is it a pointless waste of plastic, but it doubles how long it takes to clear the stock as I have to take everything out of the bag (which is sealed both ends a lot of the time) instead of just putting it straight onto the shelves. I’m almost tempted to set up a twitter account so I can @ them. Almost, but not quite.
My previous employer did the same thing, but at least we had a way to talk to head office and a bunch of us complained so they did remove most of the plastic and started to use a band of paper to hold stock together, or a paper wrapper to protect delicate stuff. They went bust though.
I have three yahoo email accounts I still use, the oldest from about 1997 and surprisingly, the spam folder on that one rarely gets anything. (The other two are leftovers from when you had to get a yahoo account to make a geocities site). I really like the disposable addresses. Luckily I signed up back when you could have 10 on one of them. Then they ditched it for free users, but brought it back with the three limit. But I got to keep my 10.
Excite was my jam though. I was sad when I lost my excite accounts.
I’m a lot like that too. An article about a person I never knew dying can leave my heart aching days, weeks or even years later. I see a stranger crying and I start to cry too. And yet other things can leave me feeling nothing. My mum is in severe pain from terminal cancer and there are moments when it gets to me, but other times I feel almost nothing and I can’t tell if it’s because I’m just a heartless cow or I’m doing a really good job blocking it out (schizoid skills ftw).
I’m like that with violent scenes, even though I know it’s fake and no one is getting hurt, I still get highly distressed. I wasn’t always like that, it got to that point more in my late 20s I think. I can play fighting games and such like just fine, although the bit in Witcher 3 when one of the women gets her face slammed on a table made me upset.
I got it on steam for £8.32 not too long ago (including all the DLC bundled). Even as a casual gamer, I’m enjoying it ( though I kinda suck at it). Definitely don’t regret buying it.
Not his first attempt, but I want to do whatever I can to encourage him to stay on the wagon this time. I don’t have any experience of this, so I’d appreciate any tips from those who have been there already....
And there’s still this much battery left. A surprise to be sure, but a welcome one. I wasn’t expecting it to still have any power left at all. I suppose with the sim out, all it was doing was powering the clock, but still! Unfortunately, I’ve had to retire it as my network won’t connect on it anymore.
My sisters and I would play snap with the Argos catalogue on a regular basis. Then we’d get into squabbles because “I was gonna snap that one!” “That’s not fair, I snapped it first!”
The novelisation also has all the Biggs scenes and tells us Luke had a puppy as a child.
It also implies that the moisture farmers didn’t just harvest water, they actually used that water for farming crops (was it hydroponics? It’s been a while since I read it).

Walthamstow isn’t too far from my area, I’d love to see it expand here. I’m so sick of the Chelsea tractors.

That’s awesome! I’m still dipping my toes into Linux Mint. I was hoping to use it as my main OS and save windows 10 only for games. Unfortunately my art programs don’t run at all on play on Linux or plain old WINE (I know there are native Linux apps for that, but I paid for SAI and my working files are in .sai format). So far, I’m only using Mint for my media libraries, and it works well for that and saves space on my Windows SSD. I have blackscreened my Linux once when trying on edit a video on kdenlive. Back to Shotcut for me!
So I made a post a few days ago, where I felt weird about a job offer I found, but it was finally someone that wanted me to work for them, so I went to meet the person. Thanks to people here reminding me to record everything I have the whole discussion by text but also recorded everything when I meet this person (And the audio...
you read well SOCIAL SECURITY NUMBERS, whaaaat is this guy taking
Social IDs sounds like social media usernames, we don’t do “social security” numbers here, we call it national insurance numbers. They probably want contact details to spam with advertising. Edit: looking at the rest of the messages, that is exactly what they were asking for.
I saw your other post, if you’re gonna take a cash in hand job, then expect it to be dodgy.
