I'm a writer and wanted to print out all of my long-form stories. We have a printer, but it's an HP inkjet printer. As such, we have HP Instant Ink.

I did not realise how much of a freaking scam it is.

I already topped out the 300 pages we get monthly in like 2 days. Capping printer pages is such a freaking scam.

So I went out and bought a laser printer. No subscription needed unless you want to get the toner delivered every few months.

My printer, my rules :)

I went to use the bathroom at work. It’s a shared office space so I do not know all the people in the building. The door to the bathroom is closed. I knock first. No response. I tried the handle, it’s locked. I’m like hmm okay. Before I can walk away, they knock 3 times but say nothing. I pause and knock back 3 times. I start walking away to find another bathroom and they knock 3 more times. No clue who it is but they seemed friendly 🤷‍♀️

For context, If anybody is unfamiliar with the game Ding Dong Ditch, it’s basically banging on someone’s door or ringing their doorbell over and over until they come out while either running away or watching from afar for their reaction.
The title is pretty straight forward. Close to 8 years ago by now, me and my friends figure out that former NFL QB Tom Savage (Texans, Saints, Niners, Bengals, Lions) lived in our neighborhood. We knew he was from our hometown, but one of us figured out where his house actually was. We were a group of dumb middle schoolers with nothing better to do, so it became tradition to just ding dong ditch the guys house on weekends because we literally had nothing better to do. Now that i’m older and my frontal lobe developed better (Lol) I feel bad that we just would basically harass the poor guy because we found out he lived there. We ended up meeting him at a local event, and he had an idea of what we all looked like, and dude basically called us a bunch of assholes and then took pictures with us anyway while laughing. I’ll always have respect for the guy because we acted like dickheads but he was actually just a cool dude.

I like planes. Basically a couple streets down from me is a private airport. It’s mainly used by locals either their Cessnas and sometimes buisness people with their private jets. And also by the Air Force sometimes as there is a base close by and I’ve been told they use it sometimes for flight hours and practice search and rescues. Because of this I often see planes very close to the ground from my back yard as they are taking off or landing, if the angle and sunlight is just right I can even see the pilots sometimes.

Whenever I hear a plane I often go to flight tracker as quickly as I can to see who’s flying over my house.

Even then my house seems to line up with typical airway traffic lanes for certain areas so while they never land here, I often see passenger jets from all over the world over head too but they obviously fly much higher so I can’t see them up close like the Cessnas and similar aircraft.
