I put new batteries in my remote if the batteries get low :p (which I don't think has happened to my current remote for years now that I think of it)

If you'd like to help our fellow Totallympics member Bruna Moura get to the 2026 Winter Olympics, after her car crash on the way to the 2022 Olympics, every tiny bit of help would be greatly appreciated! Full story and how to help can be found here!

I bang the battery area a few times and won't replace it until the banging magic stop working. There's still the 'take off the batteries and put it back right away' first aid though

I learned that the US has a different standard paper size than Europe today :yikes:.

 

Standard US Paper Dimensions: 215.9 mm x 279.4 mm

Standard European Paper Dimensions (according to the YouTube video I watched): 210 mm x 297 mm

Spent years working in a University whose American students could never understand why their documents would not print on our laser printers.

Can we permanently ban France, Germany and/or USA from TISC if they ever enter this song, please, @Sindo? I've been hearing it what feels like non-stop and now even in sports events like speed skating and ski jumping :facepalm:

Had some printers at my company who are sometimes set for American paper and when people try to print it always gave an error "Load paper". And people were loading our paper and going back to their seat and then back, and load again. :d I've lost count how many times i have seen this and it's always funny how people get angry at the printer.

This went on for a good 20-25 years until the printer manufacturers finally realized it and incorporated a setting that picked up the error.

I’ll defend the metric system over the imperial system, but American paper dimensions are absolutely the better of the two. :p

I really love this holiday commercial. Not a huge of Amazon, but they nailed it with this.
