Hey everyone... I could really use a little help here if anyone has a second...
So, basically, I need to pick up a color laser printer for the office. We’re looking at printing roughly 30,000 pages a year, and it absolutely has to be able to hook up to the network so at least five different computers can use it... any ideas or recommendations would be awesome 🙂
thanks 🙂
man, just grab your gear and head west

I honestly have so much respect for the Japanese people... if we were even half as disciplined as they are, man, where would we be? When they go on strike, they just wear a sign saying "on strike" and then actually get their work done, which basically shames their boss for letting things get that far. And remember that story about their transport minister? He took his own life years ago just because the trains were delayed by maybe twelve minutes total over an entire year, I think...
It's the same thing with the Kamikaze. Those were people driven by pure Honor and pride. You really have to hand it to them, they had some serious guts...
Kamikaze pilots... they were basically flying suicide missions, diving planes loaded with explosives straight into the US Navy to sink ships. Sometimes they weren't even in the cockpit themselves, just launching guided bombs from bombers... It was intense. They managed to take down a massive amount of American vessels.
This was actually how the orders went for those Kamikaze pilots:
˝Returning alive isn't an option. Your mission demands everything, including your life. Your body might perish, but your spirit stays. When one of you falls, it paves the way for millions more. Don't let anything distract you—not even something as small as your gear or your health. You can't leave anything behind to cause regret that follows you through eternity. And, look, don't rush into death blindly. If you can't hit your target, come back. Maybe next time will be better. Just make sure the death you choose makes the biggest impact possible.˝
Here’s what an American Vice Admiral, Brown, had to say about them:
˝I doubt anyone among us who served there, out in the Philippines and over at Okinawa, could ever truly explain the mess of emotions we felt watching someone die—someone who chose to end it all just to destroy us in the process. There was something in that sight, something so foreign to our Western way of thinking, that just felt surreal. We watched every Kamikaze pilot plummet toward us with this kind of detached horror, like witnesses to some terrible cosmic event rather than just victims waiting to be hit. For a second, you'd almost forget yourself, just desperately trying to wrap your head around what that person up there was thinking...˝
What's your take though? Were the Kamikaze just fanatics chasing something impossible, or maybe just fools following leaders blindly? Or were they actual heroes dying with Honor for their country?
I've been really getting into adventure cartoons lately... you know, stuff like Sinbad and things like that.
Like Gobac says, I just love animation... Seriously, I’ve watched so many cartoons in my life, but lately, I feel totally stuck. I don't even know what to watch anymore. If you guys have any cool recommendations for an interesting cartoon... please, let me know.
