I am certified to repair a bunch of different brands of printers. The office sized ones are more complex than a lot of robots. That's how Ricoh got the job fixing Amazon's robots in their distribution center.

That being said. If you can get your hand on any service manual of the type of printer you are working on, you can fix most issues. The printers do a good job of telling you why they don't work, just gotta decode it.

I used to have to calibrate scales at grocery stores with a weight set, but I notice the weight set I was given had an expiration date. Is that normal for weights to "go bad" and not be accurate?

You said some of the ideas they are using if you looking into their project more. They use beach cleanup crews, they use boats at rivers to catch the plastic before they go out to sea, they are working with the local government to prevent plastic from even reaching the rivers that lead to the oceans. I think half the funding of team oceans is for cleanup that not at the ocean sea

In my state, you can apply for a preclearance system. When you are traveling down the road before weight station, you travel over a "prepass" scales that roughly weighs the trucks as they pass over it on the interstate. Inside the cab you have device that signals if you need to stop at the weight station if the precheck weigh in was off and need to do an exact weigh in, or they need to do a "random" inspection of your truck. If a company fails enough prepass checks they can get your preclearance revoked and that's a bad thing.

Lane country is mostly powered by hydro electric. I remember our house flooded one year due to the dams holding too much water during a rainstorms, and they had to release water before things got worse.

With that flooding in mind, are Oregon's dams earthquake ready? I assume they where built with earthquakes in mind, but I don't know how much went into it.
