Exactly this! Very few people ever complain that the military is losing money. Healthcare should be the same way. It should operate at a loss.

Flirting is a cooperative effort. You can have great game and still fail if she isn’t interested. You might also meet a girl that gives you a positive reaction, but you might miss it if you aren’t looking at her that way. It takes two to make flirting work.

If you want to get to know girls; tell a few jokes or funny stories. If you think a girl might actually like you, tell her a dumb joke. If she laughs, she probably likes you. If she doesn’t laugh, she’s not interested yet. Keep trying and you will learn what works and what doesn’t.

There are lots of women in this world so try talk to as many women as you can. Be persistent without being aggressive and you will do just fine. There is someone out there for everyone.

There are lots of books like that. Time-Life, Popular Mechanics and the “For Dummies” series all have books that cover various handyman tasks. None of them cover everything, but they are a good way to learn the basics. There are books on decks, fences, woodworking, appliance repair and home wiring to name just a few.
Be warned: going down this path can lead to the expensive hobby of tool collecting. It is a disease that afflicts many of us and there is no known cure. In my teens I had a Crescent wrench, a couple of screwdrivers, and a hammer. Then I bought a drill… Three decades later, I now have multiple power tools of various shapes and sizes along with bits, blades, and disks to use with each of them. I also have large and small tool boxes to hold and carry them in.

Whoa, this is heavy!

Forming relationships are all about risk. If you know this much about her already it’s possible she already likes you!

Go for it!

Don’t threaten me with a good user experience.

It is really strange how my Internet connection goes down every time I try to sign in. I should look into that one day.

Unfortunately, this knuckle-dragger is not capable of admitting, perhaps even understanding, that he brought all of this on himself. Everything bad that happens to him is someone else’s fault. Everything good that happens was his idea.

Maybe I’m weird, and I am open to that as a possibility, but I don’t see low birthrates as a problem. I feel like the human race could actually benefit from a reduced population. If the population was to reduce by half or more because people did not want to procreate and did so voluntarily and of their own free will, many of our climate change issues would be reduced and might even reverse without changing anything else.

Unless and until the human population gets down to two billion or less, there is little to no danger of a non-man made disaster wiping us out.

These are used drives that have about 35K hours (4 years) of power on time.
Good quality drives to be sure, but maybe not as reliable now as they once were.

I’m starting to feel like violence is the answer to this kind of argument. I’m not there yet. But I get closer every time I see this shit.

Rogers primary campaign ad was weird. He said he’s running for the US Senate but instead of talking about how he will work for Michigan, he complained about Joe Biden. So your intent is to obstruct rather than govern? How is that appealing to anyone?

If you haven’t been offered a position yet, then just be honest with them that you have a commitment coming up that you made before the offer. Let them decide if they still want to hire you. Who knows, they may agree to the time off.

Best I could find is the original Swedish version on Vimeo.

If that happens, and I really hope it doesn’t, I would like the Republicans to win big. Because then they will learn very quickly how stupid and backwards their party has become and how badly they have fucked themselves and everyone else in this country.

I truly hope that whiny orange bitch slips on a banana peel and hits his head on something hard!

I do this too. Speedway and Shell play video ads on their pumps with no obvious mute options. I don’t buy gas there.

It’s because writing research grants, getting them approved, and publishing papers on that research has become more about getting the money and less about producing quality results.

Swapping the toner cartridge is worth a try. I guess I assumed you had already tried that.

I’m in the US so that is where I looked.

Here’s a link to a replacement fuser on AliExpress: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/32961756487.html They might ship to where you are.

You might be able to see it on the fuser roller but it probably won’t be the sort of thing you can wipe off without making it worse.

From the model number shown on your test page (Samsung ML-1660) it looks like a replacement fuser kit is about $30 - $50 dollars depending on the seller. I would encourage you to either replace the fuser or look for a new printer.

I think your fuser roller may be dirty or damaged. Try printing several pages that are blank or nearly blank. If it’s dirty, the lines should get progressively lighter. If not you may need a new fuser.

You can buy a fuser repair kit for your printer model online. They are usually only slightly more complicated than changing out the toner cartridge. Just be sure to lay down several sheets of printer paper to cover your work area to catch any toner dust.
