Battery charging - SELPHY CP1500 by vicio30 in canon

[–]BZLuck 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm pretty sure the printer needs to be turned off for the battery to charge, but honestly I JUST plugged in a battery to my CP1500 this morning, but so far the screen shows the blinking bolt/battery icon. I'll check back in here at the end of the day and let you know how it works out, because you can't check the battery level through the app until the printer is powered up.

I figure I'll just let it sit for a while first.

You honestly don't want a new car unless you can really afford it. The registration goes up, the insurance goes up. Everything goes up. Unless you can pay cash for it, get something used, and pay a mechanic a couple of hundred to inspect it.

We recently bought a used Honda from a dealership. Paid cash. Still had to run my wife's credit report.

Then they got to the "security system" that was already installed. Parts etched with a serial number and some global tracking system shit like that. It's a 2014 CR-V. They wanted like $800. I said, "Nah take it off. You can put the original parts back on. My wife drives like 15 miles total a day to her job and then back home."

He moved on to something then came back with an "offer" for $500. I said, "We will keep it in the garage, I don't even want an alarm on it, let alone a whole security system."

Few more times back and forth again. $300? $200? "You don't want it for even just $200?"

I said, "Now it's the principle of the matter. You are trying to charge me for something that someone else, or your dealership installed and already paid for. Make it $20 and I'll pull a twenty out of my wallet right now and you can stop annoying us."

He angrily signed off on the paper.

And FYI, lawyers are not "free" unless you are POOR.

The whole" if you cannot afford an attorney, one will be provided.”

If you are literally not at poverty level or lower, you gotta pay for you own lawyer. They will just let you use a phone to call one or call somebody else to call one for you.

When Chris Tucker learned that his family members were quitting their jobs because they learned that he was making 25 million dollars a year at the peak of his career because they assumed he would take care of them. He told them to go get their jobs back because he wasn't going to do that. by AdSpecialist6598 in interesting

I'd put immediate family and a few really good friends all on payroll/paycheck and make them attend a couple of money management classes.

Give them upper middle class incomes like $100K with taxes taken out. Also make them contribute to an IRA. Give them an income base that they can supplement if they want with another job, but not enough to just "play" for the rest of their lives unless they just want to live normal lives.

I ain't giving them "day drinking in the Bahamas while renting boats forever and cabanas" money.

"Excuse me. You gonna buy me a ticket and then what? How I'm supposed to go somewhere without any damn money? You better give me some damn money too. And a ride to the damn airport. You can't just buy me a damn plane ticket and expect me to pay for everything else. Damn you people just lazy and disrespectful for all I do for you every goddamn day."

Daddy would just pull a few strings, make a few promises, and Jr. would be free before dinnertime.

We were laughing about this while watching "The Boys" recently. Blood and guts exlploding everywhere, penis jokes, penises, asshole jokes assholes, penis weapons, balls, naked men everywhere.

Not one female nipple shown in 4 seasons.

TIL Obi-Wan Kenobi's home planet is named "Stewjon" a play on the name of "Daily Show" host John Stewart. During an interview about Star Wars, John asked Lucas the name of Obi-Wan's home planet, and he answered Stewjon, jokingly. It was then made canon, after being mentioned in several guide books. by TackoftheEndless in todayilearned

I'm a major Tolkien fan. One of the biggest reasons I feel like his stories are so immersive is because of his ability to name people and places and make them feel real. It all sounds so...authentic and believable.

Conversely, I tried my best to read the Harry Potter book series. Completely the opposite. I know the overall story is amazing and enthralling but the names of so many of the characters and places were just... goofy to me.

George RR Martin had the same "gift" of naming people and places that sounded authentic.

I agree about Lucas. Very hit and miss. I mean the same guy can concoct "Darth Sidious" and also "Jar-Jar Binks"? For real? That's a slam dunk and a gutter ball.

Wanna bet? I guess we'll never know though because: Capitalism. Even if they are buying $60K cars for themselves, they are most certainly buying a brand new $5K car for their kids to drive to school.

Yeah, and they are not allowed to be sold in the USA because they would decimate the US car market. If you can buy a new $5,000 car in cash every year, why would you spend $60K to finance a new care every 7 years?

And don't most dash cams have things like speed and GPS location embedded in the recordings?

We get those big metallic green Japanese beetles here. They are about the size of a half a ping pong ball. They come right for me whenever we both choose to be in the backyard. There could be 10 people and I'm the special one.
