Definitely. My wife worked in a library with 12 MILES of shelves (think how many books fit on 6ft of shelf, now think of 10,880 of those). The vortex created by that amount of concentrated knowledge caused the library management to loose their bottle and claiming it was for the safety of the planet, they destroyed 11 of those miles of unique knowledge and sole surviving examples of books from the 1700's on. My wife stopped working there as she thought the management had gone stupid. Regards, Richard.
When piecing back together, the scattered remnants of the early 21st century, the feudal society leaders will find magnificent libraries of early human works encapsulated forever in atomic level distortions in solid glass, with absoultely no way to read them using stone knives and bearskins.
Buy brand new Tupperware. Put it all in the same drawer. Close the drawer. Then open it again.
Now some of your lids are missing. And you have a random bowl in there that doesn't match anything else.
...we used to have these all over Milwaukee when I was young (seems eons ago now) before the city switched to road salt.
Interesting to note Studded tyres are illegal in Wisconsin and neighbouring Minnesota.
Non-complaint: Amazing! I just noticed that my new printer (EPSON WF-7840) has a feature I've never seen on a printer before. Y'know when you issue a print command and forget that the output paper tray had been pushed back into the body of the printer for whatever reason and the print page comes out and immediately drops to the floor and you don't notice it until you return from coffee or lavatory or whatever and your twenty five page document is in a tumbled pile on the floor? Well, this printer doesn't let you do that.
It ejects the tray when needed!
Cool!
Great idea!
Love it!
How long has this been a feature?
Complaint: It's just one more thing to break.
What happens if the printer dust cover is in place? Tray stop? Print abort? Tray break? Ejecting paper get curled up in a chaotic mess inside the cover? Enquiring people want to know.
Should I try it?
Perhaps a good caution would be to turn OFF the printer before covering it with the dust cover.
Non-complaint: Still got cookies.
My Epson Expression Photo XP-850 did that. But, after a while, the little plastic gears that drive that wear out, and then it beeps at you and puts up a message saying the tray is not out, and it won't print until you pull it out. That printer is about 10 years old. I have another problem with it now. The waste ink pad was full and error report says it reached end of life. My nephew got me a new one, and installed it. But, there is a counter internally that need to be reset, and I can't get the code. The one third party software that purports to do that, requires you send them money to get the code. However, this model is not in their list of available printers. I just got a new high capacity black cartridge for it a couple weeks before this happened, too. Called Epson for help and the guy wanted to get remote access to my computer to fix it. I told him it has nothing to do with the computer, it's an internal thing in the printer. The error message is up on the printer's little screen, even when the computer is off! I'm not giving anyone remote access to my computer!!! I told him, "No thank you! Goodbye!" and hung up. Guess I need a new printer. But, can't afford it. And I'm picky about printers. don't want some cheap thing. I use it for photo printing and the Epson photo printers have alway been the best at that. But a new model equivalent to this printer would cost around $300, and an EcoTank model would cost around $600 (although, it would be able to print 13x19 prints, and I already have some of their Presentation paper in that size). I just can't afford that. I've been printing some receipts and our Christmas mailing list to PDFs and sending them to Diane in email and pritning them on her printer downstairs. Frustrating.
I am extremely extremely tired and müde. I asked chatgbt to do a meme for me.
There's an armed murderer on the loose in my alley. No one knows quite where, but I counted 20+ squad cars on the block, so I imagine they'll find him soon enough.
Some of the police officers seem very scared and some not at all.
Where's Superman to fly backwards around the world when you really need him?
Ron, are you and the folk in your center ok (at least for now)? I haven't heard much about St. Paul...
(ETA: yeah, I know the Superman thing wouldn't solve anything long term. But gosh it's hard not to be wistful.)
Non-complaint: It's cold outside and snowing again. Several days of very warm weather exposed about 50% of the green in the lawn again. The ice in the driveway had melted down to just an 8 inch wide strip in the bottom inch of the wheel ruts. I could have stepped over that. But now that the snow is back, it sticks to the ice and I can, with care, get across or down the driveway to toddle to the local grocery, or more likely, catch the ancient person's bus to the city. Wheee..., I'm free, I'm free!
Complaint: I'm out of cookies.
Except for chocolate chips I have enough ingredients for another batch of cookies. I've put chocolate chips back on my grocery list. (I'd snacked on the 2nd half of the bag used for my cookies) Mmmm..., chocolate chips.
Non-complaint: Cold weather, hot cookies and milk or hot chocolate. Childhood nostalgia.
Complaint: The huge bill at the drugstore, has kinda' put a damper on my plans for the month and a leak in my savings, but at least this month and 26 days of February are without expensive medical appointments. Only ten days left to next SS deposit time. So perhaps this week a grocery run will suffice 'till then. Hmmm..., looks like Tuesday will be grocery day. All other possible days are forecast with heavy snow.
Right now, as I gaze out my kitchen window, "heavy" means "white-out" flurries, big flakes, wind uncertain which direction it wants to go, but wants to get there in a hurry.
I don't feel like I'm good enough. I am tired. Ich bin müde.
I know how you feel. It took my whole Disability check to pay the pharmacy. Good thing my wife has money.
Complaint: The Christmas lights on the pavilions in the town park that I've enjoyed viewing for the last six weeks have been turned off.
Complaint: It's amazing how fast a perfectly tidied up kitchen sink area becomes untidy.
...mmm hot cocoa and cookies, perfect on a c-c-cold night.
So far the 10 day forecast into next week Tuesday (01/20) will be surprisingly dry with partly cloudy to sunny skies and temps in the low to mid 50s. Of course this means colder nights so need to get more hot cocoa mix and cookies.
Small complaint:
Firefox is now making it difficult to post news articles to other sites like FB and Bluesky. I click on the copy link icon provided in a story but it doesn't save to the clipboard. Really need that upgrade so I can go back to Chrome.
An AI's Opinion: I submitted my sig line to Google's "AI Mode" and the attachment is what it replied. It's interesting to note that of the entire Internet, my signature line has been found, in the only forum I've ever used it, analysed, catalogued, and now integrated into the AI's hoard, and immortalized for future reference. But now my question is "Who is Gene Mendez?"
Non complaint : I have to say thank you to all of you for the information about "diabetic socks " I have been looking for knee socks that would fit my X-large calves for years , with no success ,thank to all of you I am now wearing knee socks that fit !!! and I am thrilled to pieces !! So thank you very much . Oh and no I'm not a diabetic ,just over sized
Until there isn't...
Most appropriate.

I need to chnage a lightblub in my kithcen. Maybe I'll get a round tuit.
I'll spot now.
Complaint: The ONE thing Bear the Supreme Doggo lets Gilly the Ditzy Collie get away with is stealing MY spot on the bed if I get up at night & they choose not to go out. Gilly will curl up in a tight ball & cannot be moved, like he's got some gravity control super power or is stuck in place with magical super glue. Related Non-complaint: They are very warm, sweet, & cuddly puppers.
Related Complaints: 1. Weather has been bouncing all over. Alternating between very warm and literally freezing. A dusting of snow first week of December. Week before Christmas was super cold, then Christmas week was warm. There was at least one day where it went from low 80s °F to 20s the next morning. Rinse & repeat. Currently in a pleasantly cool & sunny phase. 2. Our December electric bill reached low Earth orbit. 3. I think the chaotic weather is why I can't quite shake that stupid URI - still stuffy at night.
Non-complaints: 1. I like my new Android Nook tablet even though swiping on it is tricky - & I was able to get Kindle app on it. Please don't tell Barnes & Noble. 2. I found a cute long cardigan at Walmart (Yes, I know, one of the demons of retail) on clearance for $4! Been wanting one for a while. Husband thought it was a new robe LOL. 3. The library we volunteer at paid off its loan this month & is having a good old fashioned Mortgage Note Burning party Thursday. With refreshments. Of course I am going.
Non-complaint: My driveway was navigable this morning so I did a quick mini-adventure uptown. Took the $2 Ancient Person's Bus to breakfast. Then I splurged (my savings was already leaking this month, this was just cleaning up the dribbles) and had coffee & breakfast of Biscuit & Gravy, bacon, and orange juice at the hole-in-the-wall beanery in the decrepit mini-mall. Mmmm..., carbs, fat & carcinogens.
Then a short Uber to the uptown grocery for enough groceries to get me past the next bad weather spell, and then uber'd home before 10:00AM. Uber driver was new and had trouble following her electronic map.
I followed her arrival via the app and watched her bypass me a couple of times before she found the entrance to the grocery store. Picked me and my groceries up, then kept following the emap the wrong way out of town. I had to help get her back onto the main road.
Complaint: Next bad weather spell begins tomorrow morning for a week.
'Nother Complaint: Just checked my receipts and made entries into my spreadsheet. When did breakfast become $20?
I'm about to have an eye appointment once the eye doctor returns. I think they are going to look at my eyes, not my toenails. I would show you my toenails, but I am wearing shoes. Not sure you want to see my toenails. Here are my eyes with current glasses I'm wearing.
I keep seeing ads for something called DAZ3D. They make it look awesome. I haven't heard of a software called DAZ3D. I have heard of DAZ Studio. Maybe when I get home and if they don't dialate my eyes, I can play with DAZ Studio and Genesis 9.
I keep hearing from literary circles that the answer to Life, the Universe, and Everything, is 42. Physicists are more likely to think it's 137.
These are the glasses I picked out. They are the display pair, but my actual pair will look similar.
I am in the taxi on my way home, but I don't know if I'm going directly home. I hope my hot dogs will be okay until I get home. They are out for delivery. Today is Snap day, so I get my snap filled up.
edit: the hot dogs just got delivered. I'm not home yet. It is 16:34 pm now.
...so far this week here in the usually soggy (windy and cold this time of year) Pacific NorthWet It's been unusually balmy with temps in the mid 50's. sun, and just light breezes I still feel we will pay dearly for it next month which is usually the worst month of the winter here.
The downside is we may have a "lean" water year as the snowpack in the mountains is significantly below normal. Most of the rain we usually during November and December shifted south to California.
I had to change a lightbulb in the kitchen last night. But it was hard to see the replacement bulbs because it was dark. I did turn on the light under the microwave, which illuminates the stovetop. It was bright enough for me to see my bulbs. I was quite pleased at finally being able to use the microwave light for something.
I know this is the most exciting thing that was said today.
Complaint: SSD Prices
Non-Compliant: Saved money by not buying said SSD
...the 1 TB M2 I had for the new boot drive in my upgrade plan shot up in price by about 165%. Memory is even worse as it went up by about 320%.
Memory: Chalk and a piece of slate.
1TB of Memory: The SE English coast and a mountain of slate.
Non-complaint: Freezing temperatures delayed until 7:00 tonight.
Complaint: I'd set out an unopened can of salmon to use to make salmon patties, but set it on top of the stove right where the oven vents are and proceeded to make a potato casserole in the oven. The can of salmon changed shape.
(Was it re-sterilized or did it become a bacteria picnic?
)
I had a dream we moved suddenly. I didn't have a chance to tell anyone. We moved somewhere there is no public transportation. I was wondering when I will go back home.
Also I had to go to the bathroom. If I found a toilet, there was either no privacy or it was totally dirty. I finally found a bathroom with a shower. It had a huge cichlid tank. Some fish was giving birth to fish. I went to the shower and saw there was carpet in the shower. So I woke up and went to my own bathroom in real life.
