The last printer I bought I returned because it said Internet access is mandatory to complete the set up.

I tried temporarily turning it on but as soon as I disconnected it after a couple days it would tell me I have to reconnect to continue printing.

It’s backwards speak like most conservative legislation. Right to work actually means you have no rights at work.

It’s all we can do. We can hope.

My wife was fired from a job for getting sick (kidney stones). We were told if we don't like it, sue, but I bet you can't afford either with the medical bills. It took us years to pay for that stone.

There are some very unkind people out there who take advantage of their position. It's a right-to-work state which just means that you can be fired for any and no reason with no recourse. It's dystopian as hell. Most people in these positions put up with it because they enjoy eating.

I think this is a normal reaction to the overwhelming amount of trash in cinema that shouldn't be watched at all, let alone sped up.

The biggest failure of the US is ultimately its educational system.

It's hard to tell. I've worked at places that would definitely fire me for using a week of vacation, and legally in my state vacation isn't a tangible guaranteed thing; it's completely legal to just fire the employee instead if they try to use it without compensation. Practically some jobs don't have time off. You just get fired.

Pretty dangerous being a US spy these days. I would constantly be worried about getting liquidated for Trump’s beer money.

Please do not go down the path of the US. It’s far easier for two parties to collude.

Who feels the need to watermark this?

But the oligarchs need that money.
