Kings meet in middle of board for peace treaty.
How can he get the credit if he can't patent it? How is he trying to get credit? Also, of all the billionaires to hate on, Bill Gates is a very odd choice considering he wants what so many here advocate for.
I've been going more often lately. I do hate having to catch up on 600 pages that's been discussed over the past 8 years though.
I feel that there's language barriers on Lemmy sometimes. Very diverse group here. I didn't think for a second if you meant "live on this planet with crazy people" or "live in a house with crazy people" - seemed obvious to me the latter is what you meant, but maybe this is expressed differently in Germany or other countries.
Mine was brand new and didn't cut shit. Any sources on how to maintain one?
glide
Idk what push mowers you've used, but mine did not "glide" whatsoever. It was incredibly difficult to push through the lawn and mow, and took much longer because of it.
They're so difficult to mow a lawn with. I don't envy the people that need(ed) to utilize these.
Yes. Unfortunately, we're stuck with it. No voting people in or out of the system have changed it. No, we're not content with it, and we're envious that other places don't have to deal with this. This isn't an endorsement of voter apathy, it's just that any politician using big pharma reform as a part of their campaign are lying or unsuccessful in their efforts.
When I worked with a lot of legal documents, we just used DocuSign mostly. Have you attempted that on Linux? Not sure what it's like these days, also curious if it's because it's a web application if it works the same.
I kinda want this to be a thing, like a SpongeBob special doing their own weird version of the American Civil War.
Mineral spirits are a cleaning agent typically used for the interior mechanisms of the typewriters - try not to get them on the outer shell, from what I heard it can damage it.
Personally, I like the idea of typewriters being self reliant, so no electricity required. These are typically called "manual typewriters" from what I've been seeing. Some YouTube content creators have videos on how to clean and restore various models, and you can get second-hand typewriters at garage sales, thrift stores, antique stores, OfferUp, Craigslist, etc. I haven't looked into electronic typewriters much myself, but some are fond of the IBM Selectrics, I think because of how you can change out the ball for different fonts.
I'd start with the YT videos though, find a model that has a lot of content so that if you spot one, you know what to look for and what to test prior to purchasing, and you can also investigate how to repair various features/parts, replace ribbons, etc. Best way to determine model is via the S/N and looking it up via the typewriter database website.
Best of luck on your search, I've only recently gotten into typewriters and this is pretty much everything I know, so take it with a grain of salt but hopefully this helps you get started!
