Aren’t they cool??
Coyotes being were a pretty common sight growing up and I still get excited when I see them. Big ole scaredy danger puppies. Like leave them alone but they’ll run like a bitch if you try to get close. Or if a car backfires. Or starts somewhere within a mile. Or a puppy barks.
Only when they have something to sell. That’s not as common as you’d think.
HP is in no way alone in doing this. This is an industry standard. Call centers are critically understaffed and under supplied on purpose. Call centers do not generate income, and the more customers that reach an agent, the more the call center ultimately costs to operate.

That was a lie they told you.
They knew the tolls would stay on. Even if the plan at the time was to eventually turn them off.
The reality is that Amazon is the most convenient way to buy a lot of things, and as a result, people will put up with a lot of bullshit.
I genuinely try to buy things locally before I start looking online. It’s increasingly difficult even for common items. The big box stores are shifting to branded only retailers. Where I used to be able to go to any hardware store and find a similar spread of items available, Lowe’s, home Depot and Menards all offer their own lines of tools to varrying degrees. Menards is the worst about it, but they’re all doing it.
Less common items are being phased out in stores, going to online order only. Where in the past you’d have your choice of just about any brand of thing you could think of in any store in any major town, now you’re lucky to find certain things at all. And if I’m going to have to order it online anyway, Amazon has the best return policy.
Hobby or specialty items are easily marked up 300% locally. And you have to go to that specific store, which may require a fucking membership just to get an only marginally hyper inflated price. It’s fine if it’s one thing I need right now but I’m not going to pay for the privilege of shopping at a hobby shop. I’m at Costco every week and I’m salty about that membership. Jack Tanner’s Leather Emporium isn’t even getting my email address.
And frequently on Amazon it’s not just the same thing, it’s the exact same fucking product. Likely shipped to the hobby shop from Amazon. I get that these guys need to make a living, but bro, have a little respect for modern consumers. I’ll pay a premium, I’m not signing up for anything and I’m not paying triple the price.
And even if you are resolved to buy online, and you try to go to the branded website to buy the specialty thing, Amazon has it, they have free shipping, and they’ll get it to you tomorrow. But if you go to Rockler’s website they’re going to charge you 10-20 dollars to ship a single item, unless you spend more money, and it’ll take two to three weeks to get to you.
I’m sorry, Amazon fucking won. Even if I say I’m willing to eat the cost, pay the shipping, pay a premium, and I’m willing to wait for the stuff I order, I’ll even make an account at every shady ass website I want to order from and give all of them my payment information, regardless of how much I trust their security, because I know Amazon is a horrifically evil company, I’m a drop in the fucking bucket. So are you and anyone reading this.
It’s just too fucking convenient. Too many competitors are cutting off the tail to try to keep up. They’ve won
I’ve done it.
I am happier. Literally one of the best decisions I’ve ever made.
I guess I mean the method, not the specific app. Most keyboards have implemented some form of it and they all seem to work kinda the same.
Swype is the best method if don’t have individual key feedback IMO. I find it’s generally pretty good at figuring out what I’m trying to say, and in the odd case it doesn’t I’m usually spelling something wrong, or using a word I almost never use. And then, typing individual letters every once in a while isn’t the end of the world.

That’s as evil as he could make it. Probably seemed cartoonishly evil to him.
Nah, tax scheme keeps it open
The powder coat is the enamel. It’s a ceramic powder that’s sprayed on and then cooked in a furnace.
You have etched it. That, I am sorry to say, is permanent. If you have access to a furnace you could try refiring it, a few minutes at 1500 f would do it, if it can be done at all. You’ve basically turned a smooth glass layer in to a kind of sponge. You need to melt that outer surface again.
They just got the one hole for everything so the eggs coming out of their ass is as accurate as saying they kinda pee them out.
You can see both it and the moon from Mars. So that’s fun
Yeah but you can’t always see them all together.
This is one of those fun harmless myths that I will nonetheless bust for you.
That’s a legend, there’s no evidence for it to be true, and the dates typically given for Pope Joan are already filled with popes we can prove did reign at that time, as coins bearing both the image of the pope and the emperor exist from those dates.
Also, the people who really hated the papacy never bring up Pope Joan as an issue.
Fun fact tho, typical tellings of the myth indicate that her lover insisted she dress as a man, so she did. So, make of that what you will.
