The opposite of age/2+7 is (age-7)2, not age2-7. I.E. the min age for a 29-year-old would be 21, not 18, and the age whose min is 18, I.E. the max for an 18-year-old, would be 22.
The max age formula is pointless and contradicts the minimum age formula. For 29 the min age based on the min age equation is 21.5 which I’d say can be rounded up to 22, which sounds more reasonable than a 29 year old dating an 18 year old, which isn’t illegal sure, but I’m sure plenty of people would be raising an eyebrow at it.
That max age equation would mean that a max age for 14 would be 21. In contrast the min age for a 21 year old is 17.5, which can be rounded up to 18. Yymv on that one in particular, but I’m sure we can all agree that a 21 year old dating an 18 year old is a lot less sus than them dating a 14 year old. The minimum age formula seems fine enough on its own, not necessarily a universal rule but enough of a guideline to go by.

The minimum age formula seems fine enough on its own, not necessarily a universal rule but enough of a guideline to go by generally. If you want to calculate based on the younger age, just re-arrange the formula. With the older age being AgeO and the younger age being ageY, you go from ageY = (AgeO/2) + 7 to AgeO = (ageY - 7)*2.
Nope. If your age minimum for a partner y is determined by your age x with the function:
y = 1/2 x + 7
then the point where y = x is at y - 7 = 1/2 x. Setting y to x leads us to x - 7 = x / 2, which happens at x = 14.
At x = 18, y = 18/2 + 7 = 9 + 7 = 16.
Relatedly, if we invert the function, y - 7 = 1/2 x, thus 2y - 14 = x, which gives us the theoretical maximum for a possible partner. If a possible partner is older than that, you’d be understood to call them a cougar, or whatever the male equivalent is.
My favorite feature of the x/2+7 rule is that it implies you shouldn’t be dating below the age of 14. Run any number lower than 14 through it to see what I mean. You can’t reasonably say a 6 year old should only date people older than 10 and also younger than -2.
Do you have gray hair? Because that can easily be fixed with dye. I’m around your age and balding. So I shaved my head. Shaved head looks younger than a full head of gray hair.
I was being facetious lol but my hair is thinning out up top. I’ve always shaved my own hair though, twice a year. Once it goes far enough though I’ll just keep it shaved on the bare metal of the clippers.
Homeowner-targeted inkjet printers are evil, especially from HP. NEVER buy one that works a subscription into the purchase. They are garbage, and can disable your cartridges if you cancel your subscription.
Giving HP money. Protection money. Because you know, it’d be a shame if for some unfortunate and unrelated reason you couldn’t print on your printer anymore. Accidents just happen. Every day.
It looks like this subscription may be for their “smart” printers. So the subscription would be for the connection to phone service. Why you’d need a smart printer is beyond me but they apparently think there is a market for it.
Ink cartridges. Instead of paying up front, they send you cartridges for ‘free’ and automatically dispatch replacements whenever they get low (or if you have a problem like they get so gummed up the head clean can’t fix them) If you don’t want the subscription, you have to buy your own carts retail, then it’s just like a ‘traditional’ printer.
The sub itself isn’t (in my opinion) scummy just a value proposition. What is a bit scummy is that the carts that come with the printer are yours, but you can enroll them in the sub service. You can do that the day you buy it or right before they run out. In theory they’re supposed to revert to ‘owned’ if the sub is cancelled, but I’ve heard there can be hoops to jump through. The carts that come with the printer are tiny compared to either retail or rental so won’t last long either way.
HP is a horrible company. They make things up just to make life difficult for consumers. Everyone should boycott them I make sure none of the hardware the company I work for is HP as well.
I switched to one of the Epson EcoTanks after the HP Ink got super expensive (Over $150 to replace all 4 cartridges). Printer was $$$ but the ink in bottles ($15 a pop, Costco sells them all in a pack for $40) is cheap enough that for the in-frequent printing we do at home (My partner uses it more than me for making buttons and stuff)
Do tell, I’m curious to learn more. Does it really matter if it knows how many pages you’ve printed? It’s not going to magically tell you you can’t print anymore when you can see that there’s still ink in there
No it doesn’t care. You put the ink in, when it empties the printer stops. Ink is cheap, even official Epson. Worth the high upfront cost of the printer.
Been running my ecotank for almost three years as my business printer. Burned though boxes of paper. Refilled black once. I’m not sure what you’re complaining about here?
How else will they justify spending money on these huge office buildings (monuments to capitalists) to their investors if you aren’t there pretending to be busy?
