I take off my shoes at home, but at my best friend's house I leave them on because she has pets and the floors are always filthy.

Yeah, my first color inkjet was an HP and it was an absolute workhorse. I had a graphic design business and I remember printing 1500 4-page newsletters for a client who couldn't wait for a regular printing press due to a deadline. I stayed up all night feeding paper into that thing and had to change the black ink cartridge twice, for about $50 each, during the whole ordeal. I loved that printer. When it finally died after 15 years or so, I tried to find another HP that could do the job. What a mistake. Current models are hot garbage.

So now I have an Epson Ecotank which I bought three years ago and literally have not yet had to purchase additional ink past the first set of bottles that came with it. Sadly, the photo printing quality is not as good as the old HP, but for my purposes it is perfect.

It's usually a PDF so you have to zoom in and out repeatedly to see everything. Super annoying.

These Boomer eyes can't see print that small. Give me a piece of paper

Anecdotally, I recently had an issue with my printer and used Google to search for the exact error message (something like ' "error 4308e ink absorber pad is full" Brother JW539DW ') and the first three pages of results were random garbage about other things. If other search engines are worse, we are doomed.

Don't cosign anything for a friend, ever. It will screw up your friendship.

I'd like to see the data broken out by comorbidities, vaccination status, etc. so we can understand the risks - is it mostly elderly? Immunocompromised? Unvaccinated? Diabetics? It would be useful to have a real assessment of my personal risk of dying at this point, and whether or not I should be alarmed. For instance, if it's mostly unvaccinated people, that's sad, but I'm basically a pincushion at this point so no worries.

Me the first time I played Skyrim and 10 minutes in, found the giants. I was launched into orbit

Honestly I hope he keels over and Harris gets nominated.
