It would literally be cheaper to fill them with human blood.

I don’t doubt that printer ink costs more than human blood, but I’m not sure if I trust the accuracy of a chart that misspells penicillin.

I do agree - this is a reference from Harry Potter where he literally was forced to use his own blood instead of ink to write

Not so fun fact, printer ink is dirt cheap to produce but they sell it at insane prices cause capitalism. Get laser or one of those refillable ones instead.

Get laser, period. Any inkjet printer is a hassle for regular families - who sometimes need to print a shipping label, a document or homework. The ink will dry and will lead to issues with your printer. The powder for lasers is just there - it doesn’t clump, it doesn’t dry out and it always works, even when you print every second month or even longer. Also the powder lasts forever so you probably never have to change it unless you run a company or something.

And your local public library almost certainly has cheap or even free color printing.

Yeah I just don’t have the space for a printer. If someone offered me a used laser printer for dirt cheap I could probably find it and I’d probably find used for it, but as it stands I swing by the library and just print my stuff at 10¢ a page. It’s a mild pain in the ass. But also half of what I print is government forms and my local librarians have anything remotely common from tax forms to passport renewal forms already printed out and don’t charge for those.

I may be an anarchist, but if government could be more library and postal service than cops accusing you of deserving the violent crime you only reported to get insurance to pay out that would be nice.

I asked mine about free printing and they said “Hau ab du Hurensohn!” Which I think means it cost extra, but idk.

After buying my fourth or fifth inkjet printer (the last one being a refillable one that became obsolete) … I switched to a moderately priced laserjet printer about five years ago

I just bought my second cartridge refill this year for $30 and its still going strong

Fuck inkjet printers and the companies that produce them

It’s funny because even the salesmen have said “Oh you have to print occasionally just to make sure it doesn’t dry and clog up” and yet our cheap-ass inkjets from well-hated companies have never given any such issues, even when they’ve been unused for years at a time. Over the span of 2 decades there’s been 2 of them. Canon and then later HP.

Would I buy another one? Probably not. Would rather get a Brother laser with wi-fi support these days if there’s ever need for a printer again. But I’m hoping that there won’t be.

First, why is the sun wearing sunglasses? Is looking at things that are not a stellar body bright for the sun?

Second, what is happening with the sun’s eyes? Is the sun drunk? Did it join a fight club?

Stellar bodies would be more accurately called spheroids. And there is no direction in space. So the best we could say is that he’s nondirectional as spheroids.

But he’s tripping balls.

Reference from Terran normal. Height = min distance from surface of terra. Now whether we’re averaging times or looking at a snapshot, that is the question that should be answered in the framing of any question of height, else average be assumed as default.

Please don’t let my astronomer friend see this. She’ll judge engineers even harder than scientists already do.
