The maximum size of a PDF compared to Europe.
(sh.itjust.works)
Page dimensions are not limited by the format itself. However, Adobe Acrobat imposes a limit of 15 million in by 15 million in, or 225 trillion in2 (145,161 km2). 👀
Because Acrobat is designed for the ancient ritual of “printing” which used rectangular pieces of pressed plant fibre that didn’t even have any pixels and needed to be measured with sticks with lines on them.
I remember when HP printers had an option to automatically print the news out for you every morning, as if you couldn't just read it off the screen.
Don't even get me started on my dad, who printed every email and read them to us at the dinner table.
"Well grandson, I printed out the FaceBook this morning, and you'll never believe what your aunt wrote..."
...yeah I'm gonna have to get you started on how those readings went
There's not much to say. No one cared. We just ate our dinner and let him do his thing.
Back in my day, we had a fat guy with a huge bell who would shout out the news from the streets.
Kids today are so softened with their paper news and crossword puzzles. We had to make do with hangman and guessing a word. No pencils and erasers to rub out a guess, that hangman was coming for you and there was no turning back. You had to stare death right in the face. Just like that bubonic plague. You’d wheel your own grandma’s cadaver into the streets to be collected. And you’d listen to the news being shouted out and you’d count your socks lucky.
~Kiss~ Kids today. So soft. With their paper news. Crosswords. And medicine. Soft, I say. Get ‘em down the mines for a few shifts. Sort them right out.
imagine kisses going down a mine
I know what a newspaper is, wiseass. :P
No joke; I was serious. This was something that he actually did.
