Printer recommendations? in Computer Peripherals · Apr 4, 2003

I know you're already thinking about toner... 🙄

But I honestly can't get this image out of my head—just a laser printer trying to fry some INKJET... bwaahaha! Everything would just go straight to hell—(saying that just so I don't get banned from the forum, haha)—but seriously, imagine how wild that would look! People would be dead for sure 😁

If you're looking for something for ultra-heavy duty work, I’d definitely suggest an HP A0 plotter 👍--it just gets the job done, you know?

Wait a second—you buy a Lexmark and then start complaining? lol... who's to blame if you chose a Lexmark in the first place? 😁

What were you even trying to say in that last post, slycrane94—besides just talking nonsense?

Me?! 😕
No way!! 😁

Printer recommendations? in Computer Peripherals · Apr 4, 2003

Honestly, printers are dirt cheap nowadays compared to what they used to be. Manufacturers—and let’s be real, I only care about HP—know exactly where the real money is made: the consumables. (And by consumables, I mean ink—did someone just say INK?! INKKKKK! Hahaha, yeah, uhhh, ink. Oh, and paper. Yeah, paper counts too.) Why? Because at the end of the day, a printer is basically just a pile of plastic and a few gears. Honestly, the most expensive part of the whole machine is probably that HP logo stuck 😁. You buy the printheads separately, you buy the colors separately... basically, whatever you pick, you're going to get hit with massive costs for supplies. Give it a few years and they'll probably be giving them away for free in bundles like "Buy 5 jugs of Tide and get an HP A3 inkjet printer" 😁
.
Man, speaking from my own experience, the only way to go is with ORIGINAL toner. This third-party stuff? Total garbage.

slycrane94 said:They’re pricier upfront, sure—but you make that money back super fast since the "ink" is way cheaper.

Man, there is nothing worse than trying to explain things to a group that clearly hasn't a clue... using their own weird lingo too. It's just painful. 😁 👍

INK!!! bwaaaahahahahahahahahaaaaaaaa (literally falls off my chair) INK!!! hahahahahah!!

Pure Evil in Philosophy · Mar 14, 2003

I wouldn't say I'm sorry—actually, I'm feeling pretty wicked. Sometimes... okay, maybe often. Not toward everyone, though! Hopefully?

Paintballing! in Other Sports · Mar 13, 2003

Man, I’d love to give those colored ball tosses a shot too... where can I even find one of those setups and what's the damage like?

How much should "just having fun" matter when setting goals? in Philosophy · Mar 12, 2003

I’ll be honest—hiking isn't really my thing... but then again, I was definitely raised on the city streets...

How much should "just having fun" matter when setting goals? in Philosophy · Mar 10, 2003

Things can get pretty hilarious in here—honestly, even the little arguments that pop up are usually just funny.
Since I have a bit of a mischievous streak and love stirring the pot just to see people react, I'm having a total blast.

But if we're talking about an absolute classic that hits every generation—it's gotta be Daniel "Duuuuuuuuliii"

I try my best to practice some self-censorship whenever I can... but honestly? Sometimes it just slips out 😁

Yeah, we really dropped the ball back then. Honestly, I’m just sitting here waiting on those Intel chips to drop.
It's gonna be a wild ride.

So, why aren't these .exe files launching when I double-click them?! I mean, if I went through the trouble of getting them, why wouldn't I just click?

😁

Locked out of my computer: Help with password recovery! in Software · Feb 12, 2003

Honestly, it’s because of stuff like this that I’ve cut back my visits to Dr. Zelenko to basically nothing—and you know what? I actually remember way more now. 😎
