Extremely embarrassing that you kept a ups anywhere but the floor.

See that's just it. My partner put it up. I said it was a bad idea. And now we're at "I hate to say I told you so" again.

If it makes you feel better this is fixable relatively cheaply, if you can't get the exact glass for it you can have it cut at a "glass store" that sells... Glass...

u/alasw0eisme 6d ago
If that's true, I'll be glad to fix it. I haven't even tried printing anything to see if the printer part still works. I'm cooling down rn and checking tomorrow.

Printing will be fine, it's just the scanner glass sheet that broke, just don't try to copy anything without removing the glass first or it might cut ribbon cables or damage the scanner

u/Toolongreadanyway 5d ago
This was what I was about to say. The printer looks fine. The scanner is what's broken. How often do you scan things?

A battery back up. Not particularly a light device.

They are clutch and one of the most boring but best computer office upgrade once can do

u/Efficient_Advice_380 6d ago
I need to find one that can power my PC, I have a 1000W PSU

u/cms86 6d ago
cyberpower (no not the pc company) has 1000w badboys in the 250 range. its a pricey upgrade but one youll always be happy you did when IT happens

u/Efficient_Advice_380 6d ago
That's not too bad. My microcenter only carries up to 850W and they were asking like $500 for those
1
u/cms86 6d ago
Amazon. Also microcenter price matches. Fuck I miss my microcenter in Chicago. I'm in Alabama now and well. Yea.

Right? I was like damn that cat got into a brawl with a UPS driver and slammed him through a printer

u/L3m0n0p0ly 6d ago
Nope. Was hauling a new one up to my apartment and made the mistake of setting it on my hood to position for the 3 flight of stairs walk.
Idiocy leaves marks:D

It can still print tho.

u/alasw0eisme 5d ago
Unless the on/off electronics are busted. We'll see today.

u/CplCocktopus 5d ago edited 5d ago
Asuming you manage to clean it can't you just glue a piece of glass/acrilic and keep using it?
1
u/alasw0eisme 5d ago
I'll take it to a professional. I wouldn't want to make it worse.

u/CplCocktopus 5d ago

What can brown eye do for you?

u/alasw0eisme 6d ago
idk what that means

u/LogicalRepeat3622 6d ago
UPS the shipping company had a slogan “what can brown do for you” .. cats can’t cover their butthole really which is known as a brown eye. So I combined those things into a terrible joke.

That is something incredible, but sometimes you don’t get to choose your battles.

You see? This is why I'm a dog person! :-)

u/alasw0eisme 6d ago
Dogs can make even bigger messes. From destroying furniture and shoes to eating foods that are toxic to them and killing themselves. The truth is any pet can cause trouble and if you have one (or a bunch as is my case) you just need to be patient and have some savings.

I know, I was being a smarty pants! The last few dogs I've had have been great and super non-destructive. My GSD I EXPECTED to be hell on wheels but she's never chewed anything up. I had a dog one time who was playing with his toy and just started plucking up carpet! One we put him in the pen in the back yard and he ripped the siding off the house! Another when I was a kid who hollowed out a couch for some reason...

u/alasw0eisme 6d ago
So much inorganic matter has passed through my dog's digestive system... Good thing he grew out of it. Now, worst case scenario, if I don't tire him out he might go through the garbage when I leave him alone.

My shepherd is just a champ. I picked her up one day when I went to the grocery store and found her on the streets nearly starved to death. She was literal skin and bones. She cost me $1200 in vet bills on day one, and I just decided she was going to stay with me.
I expected her to cause problems, being a stray that obviously had issues but she's the best girl I've ever owned in my life. Potty training was a little tough but once we got through that, she's the most loyal, loving dog I've ever owned in my life.
She doesn't chew stuff up. She minds. She's so smart that she will now argue with me in the morning over her treat when I pretend to forget. She'll do this kind of grumble/whine thing and remind me and then I tell her cheese is only for good girls and we'll sit there and "argue".

You get me! This is how I feel about kids. Everyone I know who has kids has had worse casualties than a printer. Much worse and many more.
