I am getting so irritated with AI everywhere. It doesn’t even work right. It just seems so lazy

He had a couple hot wheels out on the counter and I asked about them, so he was excited to share his hobby with me.

My friend says I act like this.

I read a book called “how to win friends and influence people” and it completely changed my life for the better once I started taking the book literally.

Everybody tends to be selfish and think of themselves (not in a bad way). If you play into this and learn what people are interested in, you instantly become interesting to that person.

“Hey Ricky, how’s your hot wheels collection! Get any new classics?” True story, different name. That’s just the butcher at the grocery store I frequent. He’ll tell me all about his latest hot wheels collection, and then I get a discount, we both win. I’ve made a friend, and influenced him to give me a deal.

Oh I absolutely would ask for consent. I’m in a college town, so it got easy for me to read people. Some people want silence and I could feel it, and I had a kill switch for the sub just in case.

I did lyft pre-covid and I loved it when people would sit up front.

I had a 12" sub and I’d let people sync their Bluetooth or request music and bump through town. I made so many temporary friends!

Good times…

I always thought this too until I had the opportunity to go into an Olive Garden kitchen.

The chef back there was very, very proud of the work they put into the food there. Almost everything is hand made. It was really nice to see.

California is coming to arrest you!

I always recommend Brother because of repairability, I’m not just saying it because everyone does. The fuser in your copier heats up and cools down all the time and will fail eventually. Same with the transfer belt, drums, and feed tires. Luckily, Brother clearly labels everything and they’re all easy to replace.

Counter that with HP. Depending on the model, (I’m looking at you M477/457) when your fuser fails step one is to take just about the whole machine apart. Some consumer grade Canon copiers are HP is disguise! (it’s actually the other way around)

My opinion here is not to be confused with office copiers, with the exception of HP, they can all fall off a cliff. Their laptops and desktops can go too, the world would be a better place.

I work on office photocopiers for a living.

The office copiers are awesome! When you print in black and white, most models will physically disengage the colors and only print in black and white to save toner and wear on the drums/transfer assembly.

Most desktop laser copiers do the same thing.

Laser copiers don’t use ink, they use toner which is a powder instead of a liquid. They’re temperature sensitive, but there aren’t nozzles to get clogged.

Just turn it off and on again.
