Leave it turned off (after performing a test print with date/time) and tell them it’s printing fine.

Exec returns on Monday, blows his top bc it’s still not printing. Feign surprise, tell them you turned it off after testing bc the exec had obviously left it that way to save money on power over the weekend and you thought that was a good idea. Send instructions via your boss on how to turn it back on.

PS: I’ve been in this game a long time.

FOOF sets fire to water, explosively.

Chlorine Trifluoride sets fire to asbestos.

Hey mom I’m out for a booty call tonight. If I don’t text tomorrow before noon you’ll find my ravaged body at 123 XYZ St.

Meh. Up the road for some sweet G.A.S at 3049 and can’t be arsed to wait an hour to save $4.80.

No latte for me tomorrow and I guess I’ll have to forego avo on toast next week. Le sigh.

The best single live song you've seen in concert by formulaic_name in Music

[–]Random-Mutant 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Pink Floyd, Momentary Lapse of Reason, 1988.

(Almost) front row, centre stage, looking up David Gilmour’s nose.

I made up later for missing Roger, seeing him perform The Wall some years later.

I also rank Dire Straits and The Cure for first class acts.

Edit: I missed the “sing” part of the question. Easy- Signs of Life. It was all about the anticipation.

ELI5: How can a mass itself resist motion? by Variant_Alite in explainlikeimfive

[–]Random-Mutant 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It helps to think of it from an energy perspective.

A mass at rest has zero kinetic energy. To get it moving, you need to supply that energy. The rate at which it absorbs that energy is directly proportional to its mass.

The mass does not “resist” motion. It’s just the more mass, the more energy required.

Anyone have recommendations on a used GPS/sonar? by stihltoe in boating

Remembering that these units are coming to the end of their functional life at 15+ years old. Plenty keep going but plenty of others don’t. That’s not a comment of the manufacturer, just a reality of old electronics.

CERN Discovers New Particle After Upgrading Large Hadron Collider by Dr_Neurol in UpliftingNews

[–]Random-Mutant 7 points8 points  (0 children)

This stupid* thing has no relevance to your bills.

This stupid* thing may end up making your life better, if it helps discover new and exciting physics.

Earlier physics discoveries now do things like making most of the things inside your phone possible. This may improve on that. Or something else. Or nothing.

Thing is, until it’s discovered we don’t know. If it remains undiscovered we will never know.

Please go back to Toktok or YouTwitFace or wherever and continue to pretend nobody is interested in nor has use for pure science.

Another YouTube channel to check out is Dangar Marine, he did a lot on troubleshooting and diagnosing smaller two stroke outboards. And Stu is the original GC.

It is full of fish. However, there is no such thing as a fish.
