  • I still do print things like job applications, train tickets (I refuse to use most phone apps, thanks for the spying), recovery keys, important documents i need to proof-read, street plans and so on. I find it far easier to spot typos in high-quality print.

    Some applications could be done with a label printer, but there are many areas where a b/w laser printer is the best option.

    When I was starting studies at a technical university, we had a safety instruction day. And we were told that when handling high pressure technical gas tanks on a carriage, they must never ever be moved without being chained into an upright position. Because these bottles can have a very high pressure, and if they fall and the valve breaks off, they not only act like rockets, but they also gain enough speed to fly straight through concrete walls.

    Apparently this works best with a slightly larger atomic bomb decoy and a Thailandese number plate.

    But on a more serious note, it is insane how much car traffic is becoming an arms race. The whole trend of heavier and larger cars is because people think they are more menacing and increase their chance of survival.
