Anecdotally, I recently had an issue with my printer and used Google to search for the exact error message (something like ’ “error 4308e ink absorber pad is full” Brother JW539DW ') and the first three pages of results were random garbage about other things. If other search engines are worse, we are doomed.
Don’t cosign anything for a friend, ever. It will screw up your friendship.
Honestly I hope he keels over and Harris gets nominated.
I was born in 1962 and I consider myself a Boomer. I have a friend born in 1961 who considers himself GenX. It’s life circumstances and attitude that determine where you fit.
Also, everybody please remember all these generational labels are made-up bullshit and vast generalizations that might be useful for some meta-analysis of trends, but they’re less than useless when it comes to understanding individual behavior.
Like I taught my kids, the minute you start thinking all people in “Group Whatever” are alike, you lose.
My Kindle Touch has a night mode with blue light inhibitor
I have a theory that part of this is due to the dying out of religion as a way to keep the masses in line.
I agree with everything you said except the idea that I was being dismissive. It’s terribly concerning, especially if the symptoms have arisen recently. Because it often takes a long time to arrive at a proper diagnosis, it’s important to start down that path at once.
Exactly this.
Gosh why can’t the Democrats nominate somebody else? Ugh

If this feels new rather than something you’ve always dealt with, please get evaluated by a doctor right away. Nobody on Lemmy can diagnose you over the Internet.
The seditionists were likely well armed, so firing at them might have felt like suicide.
Custom golf clubs versus off the rack. Took 30 strokes off my game.

True. I’ve never had problems with wait times in the US, but others are sharing horror stories.
In my province of Alberta, private health insurance was not an option. At all.
This. I don’t skip the ads on creators I like because I want them to keep creating.
I lived in Canada for a while (US expat). What you have to factor in is the wait times are sometimes utterly ludicrous in Canada unless your condition is life threatening. It does you no good for a procedure to be free if you can’t get it.
Having said that, the USA system is hot garbage. So much money is spent on profits and useless administration, paying people to deny claims, paying office staff to argue all day with insurance companies, waste, fraud, etc. We are smart enough and wealthy enough to provide quality, timely care to everyone, if only we could get rid of the greedy idiots in charge.
Right? Just charge me $5 for delivery and pay your drivers a decent wage.
I don’t understand why the government can’t at least offer everyone the opportunity to refinance at zero interest so they can get those private debts paid off.
Yeah, my first color inkjet was an HP and it was an absolute workhorse. I had a graphic design business and I remember printing 1500 4-page newsletters for a client who couldn’t wait for a regular printing press due to a deadline. I stayed up all night feeding paper into that thing and had to change the black ink cartridge twice, for about $50 each, during the whole ordeal. I loved that printer. When it finally died after 15 years or so, I tried to find another HP that could do the job. What a mistake. Current models are hot garbage.
So now I have an Epson Ecotank which I bought three years ago and literally have not yet had to purchase additional ink past the first set of bottles that came with it. Sadly, the photo printing quality is not as good as the old HP, but for my purposes it is perfect.
