My guess is someone saw what was being built and said “hey, we can build something similar and sell it”, hence the C&D.

The two wolves inside me aren’t speaking to each other again.

Isn’t it appropriate to change the file to something offensive to prevent the leeching?

Simply working leads to reduced income. If your raises aren’t keeping up with inflation, you’ve been effectively paid less with every paycheck. And now the worker is expected to increase expense and lose free time in order to get paid less, just to prop up someone else’s real estate investments? Fuck that. You want me to come in? Start by paying me more.

Not really. I had an Epson multifunction that wouldn’t scan because I had an aftermarket ink cart in it. I confirmed with their tech support. I removed the non-OEM cart and still it wouldn’t scan until I put a fresh OEM one in. I didn’t even give it to goodwill; I recycled it. No one should have to put up with that bullshit. I won’t touch Epson products from now on. I bought a Brother laser multifunction and it runs like it should.

Crucifixion was a common method of execution at the time. That must be Uncle Bob on the wall.

A lot of them now just work through third-party houses like govdeals.com.

My autopay discount is $5 and I get about half of that back in rewards points from my credit card. I’m keeping the CC on file and chalking it up to having better protections and an extra 25 days interest-free for $2.50/mo.
