Re: The random thought thread
The conversation went like this today...
Me...Ladies the copier is fixed
Lady...Do you know what was wrong with it??
Me...Yes, knowing what was wrong with it aided me in fixing it.The greatest enemy of knowledge isn't ignorance, it is the illusion of knowledge. Stephen HawkingComment

If you'd like a serious answer to your request:
1) demonstrate that you've read the manual
2) demonstrate that you made some attempt to fix it.
3) if you're going to ask about jams include the jam code.
4) if you're going to ask about an error code include the error code.
5) You are the person onsite. Only you can make observations.

Re: The random thought thread
Karma, it works.
Couple of years ago I found a brand new Cannon camera at the beach. I was amazed when I started looking through the pics that they seem to be from my town. The pics of a Command Sergent Major in full dress uniform helped me track down the owner and return it. He was amazed.
About 6 months ago my phone went missing between calls. Lost forever. What a pain in the ass to lose your phone. I had my license in the otter box it was in and $70 and a few cards. I had assumed someone on base would return it if found, but never a word.
Yesterday my wife called. A guy was at the house returning the phone. He had seen it in the road [must have left it on my truck], and stopped to pick it up. He saw me trying to call but the screen was too smashed to unlock. He left it in his car and forgot it. He found it while cleaning out his car and was going to discard it. Was taking the Otter Box off when he found everything.Instead of keeping the cash and ditching the phone, he made an effort to give it back. I made sure the wife gave him $20 for his trouble.

Re: The random thought thread
Not everything is rewarded...I found an envelope in a ice rink bathroom with $300 cash in 50s. Envelope was marked with initials...We had a tournament going on at the time so I knew it was some poor slobs tourney fees..I walked around to all the locker rooms before and after my games looking for "JB"..No answer...went to the front desk and told the hockey director what and where I found it..He said he would take care of it. A few days later I walk in and ask "anybody claim that cash?" No takers as of yet..I say if no one claims it then finders keepers...A week goes by and I'm back at the rink.."anyone claim that cash?" This time the answer is yes..Who was it? Some guy up north..Got a name? Don't remember...I don't know about you guys, but someone returns $300 cash back to me, they get at least a thank you for their honesty, and if they'll take it, one of those crisp 50s. I'm not sure that someone at the rink just pocketed the whole thing...next time I think twice about keeping it. EmujoIf you don't see your question answered in the forum, please don't think it's OK to PM me for a personal reply...I do not give out firmware and/or manuals.Comment

Re: The random thought thread
At least it doesn't sound like there are any dumbasses that have caused river barges to float around a town there yet. That happened during the Mississippi River flood of '93. I probably still have the news coverage of that on VHS.

Hopefully there won't be any overflowing aquifers later, that's pretty spooky to drive through. They had to build up U.S. Highway 136 several feet in some areas then.
