Is there a good brand for paper shredders? My ideal would be something I could just stick a big stack of pages into without having to take the staples out of the corners and walk away without it taking so long to shred it overheats. Every shredder I look at seems to have reviews like "you can actually only put in one page at a time" or "if you put a stack in it will still feed it through one page at a time" or "started a small fire in my office". I just want to destroy boxes of old documents without having to babysit the stupid thing.

If so, they're probably industrial size and durability, which sounds like what you need.

If it's a one time thing, consider calling one of those companies who brings a truck with a shredder on it and charges you by the box. It may cost a couple hundred dollars but the alternative if you want something that will chew through paperclips and stack of pages will cost a whole lot more.

Unfortunately it's for work, so we need to have normal access to a shredder and then a couple of times a year I do a big purge. I don't mind pulling off paperclips, but taking the staples out of a year's worth of files is The Worst. Sitting there and removing staple after staple and then carefully arranging pages into stacks of 6 because that's as much as the manual shredder can handle at a time...

Get the best one from Costco for routine use. If/when it breaks down then return it using their lifetime returns policy and get a new one. Then for your 1-2x a year when you do the big purge just pay one of those shredding companies to come take it and shred it.

Is there an idiot's guide to phone plans? Specifically for AT&T. I've got their starter unlimited but I only really use a gig a month and my phone is mostly for phonecalls or light web browsing. I'm thinking of downgrading but they're all "you will lose 5G" and... does that matter?

Make the case to whoever makes purchasing decisions that you're better off hiring a shredding company to take it all away for you, rather than have you sit there pulling staples out by hand. I'd bet it's a better use of your time (and the company's money spent on that time).

I'm scanning stuff for a FOIA request. I hate hate HATE when I meticulously take the staple out of a stack of papers, feed it into the scanning machine, and then it turns out whoops there's a random paperclip buried halfway through the stack holding like 3 pages together and the machine jams and grinds to a screeching halt. WHO DOES THAT?!?!?;

I just tear the pages off the stapled stack 6 or so at a time. Like a stack of post-it notes.

What is this plant? It came as a weed with a little cactus from Ames in 1992 -- just a single tiny sprout. The cactus died, but the weed's thrived. Now it's enormous, but I've not the slightest clue what it is. Mostly smooth, but it does have small spines here and there.

Who the hell is reading Family Circus and thinks it's good? They're zombie strips -- they've been around for decades, their creators are long dead, and the people currently drawing them don't dare change up the winning formula. You can't really say that a lot of people actually like them, but there's a large contingent of old people (who, let's be honest, are the only ones still subscribing to newspapers) who scream bloody murder if anything that's been around that long would dare to go away. So it's these moribund old strips that usually come out at the top of the reader surveys. But some of us appreciate the art form, and the comic strip world is bigger than the zombie strips everyone knows. In fact there are some out there that are actually pretty good. So come to the newspaper comic strip thread, we post all kinds of strips, good and bad, from the present day or anytime in the last century or so. And come to think of it, nobody's currently posting Ziggy... https://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?threadid=3953606

I've Googled and haven't found any good answers: I neither have nor want a Twitter account. Recently, Twitter keeps popping up a message to ask that I log in; it used to just do this the first time I went to the store in a day, but now it's doing it for all sorts of threads/pictures every time I click on them, and when I click the "gently caress off" option, it backs me out to the previous page. So, I created a Twitter account just to browse using a bullshit email address, and it immediately locked down the account "for security reasons" and it's demanding I put in a phone number to login. Free numbers provided by various websites don't work. All of this is to ask: is there an easy way for me to browse Twitter without giving Twitter my phone number?

If you're on desktop clear Twitter's cookies from your browser, that'll shut them up for a week or so (and then delete them again). You don't have to be logged in.

It's possible that your front port is USB 2, and the back are USB 3 (are the back ones blue on the inside where the front is white?). IF SO (assuming it's not because something's wrong with the front), it's up to the hub:
