Yeah, my wife was in shock for a while. Usually cats don’t do that, they are too good at climbing. My guess (we were not in the room) is that he has his zoomies, leaped from the floor into the window sill (which he does frequently) and slipped on the sill like in a cartoon. Since then Windows are really opened only when somebody is around.

Our guys would already be outside. We have insect nets everywhere and one just charged through, fell down (luckily only one story) and meowed loudly at the front door…

I feel you

There h is always there, just not always visible on the outside

Don’t give me ideas

Or a lower priority target. Unfortunately my home was on the way to Dresden

In Germany it’s common consensus that payment is done once the work is finished and billed accordingly. Of course for prolonged projects you agree on several installments.

Just recently I learned that according to law your monthly utility payments (for flats) are still your money until you get a proper bill.

FOSS is free and open source software, which is free to use and it’s source code is disclosed and allowed to used to variable extend, often (definitely not always) owned by private people or non profit organizations. “Just” freeware is usually used for proprietory software, which is free to use, but undisclosed source, so nobody can look under the hood and see what it actually does.

I actually am, by quiet a margin. But if course I’m taking about an actual office, and not a cubical ^^. I just like to separate work and free time. Unfortunately currently I don’t have the possibility and barely get anything done :(

Cool, another service I didn’t know I definitely need

That story is twenty years old ;) But yes, it got better

I was explaining this problem to a teacher after we were supposed to discuss a book, and I didn’t get a single sentence out because it took to long to phrase it. Yeah… She had no clue what I’m talking about.

I’m now one further in the “incapacitated for years” state

Sounds promising. Thanks

Thanks for the info. I’m currently in a rather temperate place, so we are lucky if we see snow in winter. Do you use the space heater just for your own comfort or is it relevant for the printer? At some point I need to look into all the different printing materials.

A kind of related question, which bugged me for a while: what are the environmental temperature limits for a typical printer? Is it a viable option to keep it in the basement or garage? I’m wondering, because that would mitigate the noise, vibration and fumes issue.
