Sorry. I meant your mother of course.

Don’t forget wanting to shag its mother.

For household appliances you could use some standard microcontroller. Pair that with open source software and you have long-term repairability.

Are you free tomorrow at five? I want to bake a cake.

Can I have some motivation gas for tomorrow morning, please?

Planned obsolescence is a cornerstone of the business model of every large corporation. They’re never going to make a product that could challenge that. And no startup will achieve the volume needed to sell these at a price that’s even remotely realistic.

Nobody can blather incoherent bullshit the way he does. That’s how you know he’s real.

And don’t forget taking gigantic shits wherever you go.

Hi normal, I’m … normal too.

The reason you’ve never tried it before is probably that they only recently made an effort to make it palatable for the average nerd. It always had a bit of a reputation of being not easy to work with.

No you can’t watch, onii-chan! Now get out of the bathroom!

In those days, the concept of nationality didn’t really exist. You were either loyal to your feudal lord or you just did it for the money.

This is what I look like when I come into the office on a Monday morning.

I once got one made from very thin steel. You could have used it as a weapon in an Asian martial arts movie. But I was really scared of even touching the thing because it was so sharp.

Most of those features are implemented in the scan software on the PC, not on the scanner itself. Although there is a tendency to integrate more and more features in the firmware, which is not always a good idea. Also, if you’re scanning low volumes, I’d say doing the separation before the scan is generally more efficient. At least that’s how I do it. But that’s just me, of course. I wasn’t in any way trying to criticize your approach. If it works for you, it’s great.

You can use e.g. barcodes, patch codes or separator sheets (which usually carry the patch code). Sometimes you can also separate documents by recognising some feature on the first page, e.g. a logo or a barcode that’s already there. And of course it’s a good idea to put single page documents in a separate batch so you just separate them by page count. This of course also works if all documents are two or three pages long.

Not very automatic, is it? There are definitely better ways to scan high volumes of documents.

Do you have any particular model in mind? What do you mean by “automatic scanner”? Any scanner I know needs quite a lot of manual preparation to scan a batch of documents.

That’s right next to Johnson Square, right?

I’d like to add that these people are evil, but also monumentally stupid. If anything like that happened you could be sure that the perpetrators would brag about it on social media.
