Getting tired of buying stamps for my free stickers in batches of 10-20 or so, so I've been researching how to print them individually from home with PitneyShip. Found an untested QL-800 printer on eBay for $10 and gambled on it to see if it works...and it DOES. The colorful postage stamps I usually use will be replaced by those fancy print-from-home QR code ones that Etsy sticker shops use very soon!

A moment of silence for these awesome stamps that I wish I didn't have to buy in slightly-too-big quantities: (US stamps: [WTF they got discontinued] ) (International: https://store.usps.com/store/product/global-1794-compass-rose-stamps-S_581704)

This was what I WAS using for mailing stickers in the US. I guess it's rare now: https://about.usps.com/postal-bulletin/2023/pb22630/html/images/info_006_1.jpg

Yes that one was a little bit of a cheat but it still counts: anyone can send a self-addressed envelope to certain bases in Antarctica and they'll mail it back to you with special markings on it, espec. for stamp collectors. I did the same thing but slipped a sticker in the envelope in case a scientist there is interested. Haven't heard back from them yet though! https://www.nsf.gov/geo/opp/antarctic-stamp-collecting

Why can't I get a sticker if I'm under 18 & can I get my parents to do it for me?

General safety reasons, since it is pretty unsafe for a minor to be messaging a random adult online. And yes, it's okay if you have your parents do it. I had to put this rule in recently because someone under 18 tried to get free stickers in a way where their parents wouldn't find out, which gets dangerous

I too just found Mount Rubicon for the first time. Randall might be too relatable, I might be him, he might be me!

Had to update that entry in the Device Museum one last time, because I don't think music is a hobby I'm cut out for. (I know people often have the reaction of "don't give up!" or "just try again later!" but I legit can't get into it in a healthy, forgiving way so I'm just not gonna.) Also I sent out a bunch more free stickers and added a button
