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.

Firefly, because the music was so good

He needs to retire or die right now so we can get a viable candidate in there.

More like blocking the sidewalk and spilling out into the streets right in front of the main library and city hall, so please move a couple of blocks to a parking lot.

Right. People complained about the library location blocking the sidewalk, so they were asked to move. The city in no way is against feeding the homeless.

My niece is a nurse and refused to get vaccinated so ... yeah

The place this group chose to feed people was creating a nuisance and they were asked to move it elsewhere. They were given an acceptable place just a few blocks away, and refused to move. The story has been sensationalized to make it seem Houston is against helping the homeless.

Great analogy. (BTW it's "free rein")

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.
