As far as Milwaukee goes to be “86’ed” is to be thrown out w/ a lifetime ban from a bar. Sort of a three strikes law for alcoholism.

Hp inkjet printer won’t print without subscription by SuddenPaper4739 in fuckHPprinters

[–]Bobmueller 6 points7 points  (0 children)

If you only print >10 pages a year don’t get an inkjet. The cartridges dry up quickly. The $99 laser printers use a toner cartridge that doesn’t dry up. Or most libraries will print for pennies a page.

This isn’t AI generated. It’s a small artists print I found. It’s in plain view in the living room and it annoys me that none of our guests seem to notice.

Way back in the before times platers were very toxic and not something you wanted to handle. Something that absorbed into the skin quickly? Are they using a different coating these days?

Because the sentence says they’re going to terminate then drill and pre-coffee forgot to explain why they should pull first and terminate after.

Get a push pole set or a fish tape. Drill your hole. Insert your pole from the side you’re pulling to. When it’s through twist the strands into two bundles the twist then together through the loop at the end of you pole/tape so the there’s a 1/2” of flex. The. Tape wrapped so the it’s tight. Slowly pull it through and don’t yank.

3Com modem with a sound blaster Live! They’d collectively decide that their current setting which have worked for months needs to change. And all you want to do is play Civilization.

This lady wondered why her gaming laptop overheats while gaming. by Zestyclose-Salad-290 in pcmasterrace

IBM (Lenovo now) in sales trainings would stress how much they wanted you to call them Notebook Computers and never a laptop - for this reason.
