One of my coworkers carries a flipper zero around and opens up every single Tesla gas door we see. He hasn’t tried it on the cybertruck yet, the ones I see are usually on the move.

Last Thursday, I succumbed to my outrageous electricity bill and they shut off my electricity. My lease is up on my apartment next month, so we decided to ditch the apartment.

10 years I lived there. All gone. I had to uproot my family and move in with my in laws. I’ve been moving almost all of my belongings to the dump, and I got a storage unit for the important stuff.

I could let this get me down, but I’m excited for the future. That defeated feeling got so bad, I feel positive (if that makes sense?)

I’m going to use money that would be for rent to pay off all of my debt and start from a clean slate. I see this as a new beginning.

I’ve been talking to almost everybody I run into and it really helps me not feel so doomed. Somebody even donated a car to us, I’m supposed to go pick it up today or tomorrow.

Even when things are as bad as they could be, there’s something positive in every situation if you look hard enough. My situation might suck, but I’m determined to not let it get me down.

Hang in there stranger, it’s all we can do.

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.
