My HP laserjet 1320n is over 20 years old. Every 6-8 months I have something to print and it does it like a champ. I can even print to it from my phone. Idk the last time I put toner on it.

It’s because it counts as an aircraft. Getting licenced to use your drone for anything more than “wooo, flyin mah drone” covers a lot of the same stuff a private pilot would know like reading the maps, airport landing procedure, and airspace. They treat it like an actual airplane. And you can’t just start blasting at airplanes because they flew over your house. If it’s doing more than just flying over it has to be addressed legally.

Phlebotomists in some states don’t need any training. None. If you’ve ever given blood in one of those states this is probably not surprising to you.

Lots of Peace winners, but Winston Churchill had one in literature:

Falconry can involve tons of different skills. Mews (aviary) and giant hood (travel box) can use carpentry. Hoods/other gear -> leather working. Bells -> metallurgy. Perches -> metalwork and woodturning. Drone / kite flying maybe depending on bird. One guy makes his own telemetry. Lots of designing for the many little things needed. Almost everything needed is handcrafted or repurposed from something. I use 3d printing for my giant hoods, whistles, and anklet templates. Also like, animal training and hunting stuff for the raptor.

But falconry is not a casual activity, it’s truly a lifestyle. Because of that, there are a lot of falconer couples, or, divorced falconers. So uh, make sure your partner is really into it before going in deep.

Ya but how much XP are you grinding on it?

Ya but I think you need to watch October Sky before that.

Reputable brands wouldn’t hide their logo. Put a case on it if it bothers you.

Someone mentioned turning a PC into a Chromebook above and it’s not a bad idea. You can probably install Android apps on it for streaming services too. All you need is a flash drive. I probably wouldn’t mess with it though if it’s your only device if you aren’t that tech savvy.

Ah yes, I also have the hobby of buying and sorting boardgames.

I use my GoPro a ton and thought I could add a drone into my videos but I haven’t really been able to try it yet. I did get my drone license though and might have some paid work coming up which is nice.

22% is insane, that should be illegal honestly. Pretty much bought it on a credit card.

USA is a multi-party democracy, and as such laws and programs need to be approved by representatives with opposing views. Currently, republican governors are refusing to accept free federal money to feed children. There is absolutely no way they care about giving the homeless homes. I absolutely agree with you that this is an “orphan crushing machine” issue but unless the GOP implodes we’re not going to have such progressive policies.

I love my HP printer. Always prints when I ask it to every few months, uses third party toner, 0 issues whole time I’ve had it. Of course it’s a laserjet from 2004 so it’s built a bit different. I wouldn’t recommend a new HP though lol.

It would be really funny to have Stephen King and R.L. Stine sign each others books.

You get Undaunted: Stalingrad?

Ya, there is literally endless amounts of content to consume. The fact that anybody at all thinks that watching you is better than the endless media pile is awesome.

I have about 800 YouTube subscribers and that took about 10 years for me to get with my very niche hobby videos. I think it’s awesome that people take the time out to watch and comment. I would never blame the people watching for my view counts, that would be so silly.

My family has a few houses they rent out. Not nearly enough income to live off of as they all have other jobs, but it’s some. As a rule, an empty apartment is better than a bad tenant. Not only will a bad tenant not pay and take months to remove, they will actively destroy the place causing thousands in damages. “Just sue them” someone may say. Well, they don’t have any money for rent, they surely don’t have 10 months of rent + $4k in repair + legal fees. Sure, we can garnish their wages. What’s 5% of $0 in reported income per month?

Yes, some landlords deserve the hate they get but let’s not pretend everyone is the perfect tenant either. The people of Walmart need to live somewhere.

Ya, YouTube follows copyright law as closely as it can or it would have been sued into oblivion. I have used a few copyright songs in videos and they usually don’t get outright blocked but the song creater counts those views towards revenue and if YouTube doesn’t have a song license for a country the video is blocked in that country. YouTube tells this to the uploader.

Related, H3H3 had a huge lawsuit about fair use over video clips because YouTube would handle it the same way - leave the video up but transfer all revenue to the clip holder. H3H3 ended up winning that but the point is YouTube is extremely pro copyright, erring on the side of copyright holder in all cases until convinced otherwise.

Black & White 1 or 2. Game was basically made for VR but was released in 2001/2005 and was awesome. It could be huge if handled right with some AR elements.
