Typewriters - mostly just buying/using them, haven’t delved too much into the actual restoration/cleaning part just yet:

• There’s a Discord that has a lot of information and a nice, welcoming community.
• Typewriter Database is a very handy tool to help you identify your typewriter model and year based on the serial number.
• The case can get messed up depending what you clean with, so do your research well so that you don’t accidentally strip the paint.
• Estate/garage sales are great for finding typewriters.
• When buying a typewriter, bring a piece of paper with you and test it out: type with every key, use the shift and caps lock, try the red and black inks, backspace, tab, set a few tabs and then tab through each one, reach the end of the line and see if the bell rings, etc. Don’t let social anxiety get in the way of you testing a product before buying, especially if it’s costing a pretty penny.
• Speaking of price, I’m not sure how it is everywhere, but where I am you can get a good typewriter for under $100, even under $50, fairly consistently. I just went on OfferUp and I was able to find a few at around $50 that I would purchase myself tonight if I wasn’t already strapped for cash.
• The few typewriters I would spend over $100 on if I had the money (all in working condition, even better if it has a case): Royal Model 10 with the glass side, Olivetti Lettera 33, and the Hermes Baby.

US here - I haven’t seen one used at a grocery store in over 20 years. Only people I’ve ever seen use them are old people, or people using them to pay bills.

no chkdsk?

Do frozen meals count? If so, pizza. If not, I guess burritos with rice, beans, cheese, grilled onion, avocado, and lemon.

Whoever made this meme was being oddly specific lol

They’re all delayed by some stupidly long freight train blocking all the tracks.

FREAKING? FREAKING. NOT FUCKING. FREAKING. WHAT.

Mine wasn’t a smart fridge, but yeah I agree.

We had a $2k fridge that broke within a few years of owning it. We got it fairly discounted due to a dent in the side.

Our $150 fridge from Sears is still in the garage, and still runs perfectly after owning it for 13 years. Looks pretty much like the one in the pic.

Segregation pleases the beans. Ask Kansas.

The Sandlot, keep Benny
Sister Act, keep Whoopi
My wife suggests The Princess Bride, keep Cary Elwes

Same. Works everytime without special modifications, configurations, etc.

Solid first choice!

What’s ICE doing in England?

Your name and profile pic always starts to make me think of the OST from the first game, and it always cheer me up.

Saw a similarly beefed up car take up 4 spots once in a parking lot. They pulled forward and so took up both spaces front and back, but also was too wide and so just parked down the middle. Only way it gets worse is they park diagonally to take up even more spaces.

Never denied genocide, fucking twat, stop making up claims.

Seriously, you are as evil as the worst of MAGA

Genocide supporting American MAGA fascist

Surprised “Nazi” wasn’t thrown in there amongst the rest of the inaccurate, idiotic name calling. Not sure why you’re describing me like you should be describing Trump. Let’s see, a lemmy.ml user defending Trump and resorting to some aggravated name calling to anyone that puts him down? Do you also think Trump should have won the Nobel Peace Prize, that he should stay in power forever, and the economy is the best it’s ever been? Maybe step outside of that Russian bot farm and touch grass.
