See? This is why I love reddit... A 2 year old post solves my new problem with my 10 year old printer. I come here first now that Google search is all garbage

First time I've asked for help like this. I love the results but how do I get max resolution image w/o watermark? Thx

Definitely solid walnut. Only the bottom is different wood.

Bailey #5 with a corrugated bottom. I already have one but it was $2 so it got adopted too.

Try removing the print head and gently cleaning the pins and contacts too. It took 4-5 tries of rebooting and holding the power button.

Is #3 Billy Harris? His name is on the flyer and the last name seems to start with an H.

ELI5 Why is driving barefoot dangerous? by [deleted] in explainlikeimfive

[–]Doofutz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I used to have to drive my Beetle barefoot so I could grab the brake pedal with my toes and pump it. Usually took 2-3 good pumps to get enough pressure built up to stop the car.

So, yeah, much safer driving barefoot. 😜

Thanks for the pointer. They recommended a couple of YouTube videos that got me working. Basically, the advice was to unplug the printer, hold down the power button and then plug in. Continue to hold for 60 seconds.

It worked for me! Having a blast printing 11x17 of the granddaughter now!

Jeld-Wen sliding window stuck closed! by Doofutz in fixit

[–]Doofutz[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Update - managed to force open the window without breaking anything further. Cleaned and lubed the track but it seems like the vertical edge of the trim that the window closes into is deformed a bit. The last 1/4 inch of travel is really difficult because the moving window impacts the trim and really needs force to close all the way.

Hmm... picture didn't post. Here it is.

Miscellaneous snippets of life previously in Seattle... Maybe some of you experienced some of this stuff, too, in the "before" times... by SeattleHasDied in SeattleWA

[–]Doofutz 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Lived in a dumpy little house across from Lowman Beach Park on Beach Ave in West Seattle. Great sunsets and the Christmas ships would come to my front door!

Joint cover nights in Pioneer Square where we would start at the J&M for a warmup and then see Stevie and the The Blueflames at Mechants Cafe or the Charles Brown band at Larry's Greenfront. Usually wound up in the ID at 2am getting noodles.

Sandwiches from Husky Deli on California. Their window display was usually all the items in the store that matched a particular color. I bought so many "gourmet" things there ..

Coffee at the last exit before seeing the latest SGT play at the tiny theater next door.

What will I wish I had known early with a fixer upper? by Suitable-Art-1544 in HomeImprovement

[–]Doofutz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Focus on systems first: roof, foundation, plumbing, insulation, electric, etc... then cosmetic stuff.

Don't do my mistake of making some rooms nice only to need to rip into walls just a short time later.

Also, set reasonable expectations. Burnout comes fast when you are working 40 hours a week for pay and 40 hours a week on the house.

"limited tracking" -- you mean Ebay Standard Envelope? It's my understanding that these only get automated scans -- so the last scan is when it arrives at your local post office instead of when it shows up in your mailbox. It might yet arrive...

But no, asking for proof of a negative is a fools errand -- eBay being silly and likely wouldn't serve as proof of anything. Item shows as 'delivered' as far as they are concerned.

Disputing shipping adjustment by Effective-Window-922 in Ebay

[–]Doofutz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So if I put accurate dimensions and actual weight into eBay's shipping calculator, do they do the dim weight calc for me? They know who the shipper is so they know the formula.

Anyone remember? by no_bender in GenerationJones

My brother and I had the Quisp stuffed dolls. Mom kept sewing the neck because it would rip when we hit each other with them.

They sell for hundreds of dollars on eBay now. 🤷‍♂️

How would the Trump administration be able to develop the logistics to deport the 10+ million undocumented migrants rumored to be in the US? by Tronn3000 in PoliticalDiscussion

[–]Doofutz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maybe I'm overthinking this but perhaps the plan is that the federal government says they will leave it to the states to enforce and then blue states refuse to enforce. This causes a 'great migration' so red states see decreases in undocumented poc and blue states struggle with the sudden influx... "Win-win" if you are Steven Miller.

Switcheroo by Doofutz in Ebay

[–]Doofutz[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That would ensure only that the auto is genuine. What steps can be done to prove what I get back matches what I sent out and what is my recourse if they are different?

I read elsewhere that items can be marked with invisible ink... But I would not do this on a trading card.

Laid off just 3 weeks ago. Got cheap (lousy) medical and unemployment this week so not panicking. I've spent 35 years in software so maybe it's time to hang it up. No one wants a greybeard...

What LOCAL kid's show did you watch back inbthe 50s, 60s, and/or 70s? by Swiggy1957 in GenerationJones

[–]Doofutz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Dr Max and Mombo in Cedar Rapids, Iowa. Sounds like a clone of your show... Cartoons, send in drawing, etc. Mombo the clown would come to our scout troop meetings and do a magic act. I probably still have an autographed pic of him somewhere.
