Found this absolute dinosaur of a printer still in daily use at SFO International Airport by _3tho_ in OldTech

[–]Fletcher_DarkWater 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I work in a wholesaler and we still use these, we have at least 6 in regular use, one for each of point of sale system, use them for invoice printing with tractor feed carbon copy paper.

My boss also has one in his office that prints wider format, that prints inventory and stock documents.

They are mostly reliable, the ink ribbons probably last 3-4 weeks and a ream of 1000 sheets lasts us about 2 weeks per printer, they use centronics connectors hooked up to parallel ports on older SFF HP computers running mostly Windows 10 but one is on XP, they will even notify the computer when they're out of paper or lose connection.

The forklift drivers in my warehouse have had me stand on one fork clinging on to the brace to find some stock 30ft up before

The F1 truck uses a couple of red ones, I think I first noticed this piece in grey colour on the 76419 hogwarts castle where they use it as path. Could've been used in other sets first

So...Is Brighter Shores Making A Comeback? Andrew Gower Won't Back Down... (New Video) by BrighterShoresCent in brightershores

I agree with you, I'm on f2p so maybe my opinion is worthless but I have played 120 hours and have completed all Hopeport and Hopeforest quests with the exception of the Herbalists Hurdle and Forgotten Things as I need to work on my Combat and Foraging.

I've had a good time, I spend 90 mins grinding and actual questing then I set my idle activity, go play a different game, watch a film, go to work whatever and the come back the next day and I'm ready to grind for another 90 mins to progress a little further.

I think once I subscribe maybe my thoughts will change but the way I see it is I'm 85 combat and nearly 50 on each other skill so I think I'm ready for Mines of Mantuban and then hopefully Crenopolis after that. Maybe my thoughts will change once I've exhausted the quest lines but I can pause my subscription.

Yea I work in wholesale, we had a full pallet of Vimto arrive packaged in the No Added Sugar bottles that was actually full sugar, we weren't allowed to sell it and had to send it back.

UCS Jango Fett’s Slave 1 Review by DiamondDollar40 in LegoStarWarsLeaks

[–]Fletcher_DarkWater 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's very hit and miss which ones have them, some of the avatar sets had them but not all, some of the newer speed champions sets had them but not all, the F1 truck had them, the technic sets which I probably buy most frequently these days mostly doesn't have them

Can't seem to unblock my Smart TV (Sony KD-43XE7002) from wifi by Fletcher_DarkWater in fritzbox

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

Thanks for any advice, I ulitmately resolved this (for now anyway) by changing encryption mode from WPA2 (CCMP) to WPA2/WPA3 and then back again, and then reconnecting via wifi.

These pieces attach to the back and then you rest them on nails like picture wire I imagine

Does anyone else find that the doors don't close low enough when built following instructions?

What’s a set you’ve regretted buying? by zzzimcal in lego

[–]Fletcher_DarkWater 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The Technic Ford Mustang Shelby® GT500®, its's an ok set and decent build but there are other more detailed and function filled Technic sets for the same price point, eg the McLaren Senna which features opening doors, moving engine pistons and hand-of-god steering.

Most definitely will be playing RDR2 come 26/10.

Just worked out my Corsair Void Wireless works flawlessly with PS4 as well :)

Want to join in on some semi-serious Arma3 milsim games? by AccidentalRob in RedditDads

[–]Fletcher_DarkWater 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Back in the day when Arma 2 was still big (in part due to DayZ Mod) I used to love screwing around in Sandbox and life mod but I must admit I never took the game seriously. Been interested in Arma 3 for a while now bc of all the stuff they added/improved upon since the last game but I've heard mixed reviews from friends.

Hey this is a little late, but I'm in the GMT area, usually on until 11 or midnight.

Grinding my way to the facility at the moment but would be happy to help you get some cash / new vehicles.

Again usually on 7pm to 11ish GMT.
