  • Brother laser printers, higher upfront cost but I don’t think I’ll ever need another. I don’t print frequently so inkjet carts dry up, toner doesn’t have that issue, toner also lasts longer, whenever I have to replace it I’m pretty sure they have 3rd party carts, and they don’t do any subscription bullshit or planned obsolescence so far that I’ve seen. Easy to set up on linux through CUPS and the official brother .rpm or .deb drivers. Cannot recommend them enough as someone who also hates all other printers.


  • I love mine but I’ve noticed some of these same issues, the spacers aren’t perfect and it does get hot as hell while charging. I only have the integrated graphics though I didn’t get the extra. My fans haven’t ever gotten loud, at first I was concerned they weren’t running, and I’ll have to look into the veribrightness thing, idk about all that. I really don’t mind the spacers though, I got the numpad so I only have the bottom ones and the only issue is looks, idgaf.

    It is controlled, in most places it’s restricted for people under 18 or 21 depending. It isn’t just liquid tobacco, it’s the nicotine extracted from tobacco (or sweet potatoes) suspended in a solution with food grade vegetable glycerine or food grade propylene glycol. Tobacco has tar and is worse.

    Some of it isn’t even that either, some of it is weed (that idk how they process).

    Sometimes people can get things illegally. I enjoy weed which is illegal in my state and drank alcohol before I was 21. Other friends I know have done heroin in the past which is certainly illegal.

    It’s popular for the same reason other drugs are, people like drugs.








  • Tbf, being a melting pot also means all those cultures impact and influence “ours.” Plenty of Americans have bat mitzvahs, for instance, of course they’d be particularly the ones that are Jewish, but plenty of Americans also observe Ramadan. We have a lack of cohesive culture because we’re not just one cohesive “people,” yet we all are under the banner of “American.”

    Our country is a melting pot, and so “our culture” is too, made up of pieces immigrants have brought with them from everywhere in the world. I think it’s pretty cool, personally.
