Agreed! I miss my Samsung CLP. That was a real battle horse!

Yet, the talk was about printer ink and it is really hard to beat the price for that much ink, for those machines.

Fun fact: I don’t even own one of those machines. I have a Canon. Still cheaper than HP cartridges but those assholes tie the entire machine operation to the cartridges.

Ugh, I keep getting an error when posting a reply so I just repeat the send.

Thank you for the warning.

You had a bad experience. I respect that. I have not.

Unless we can force a certificate of origin from your local optician for the lenses and the frames, there is a good chance we are actually purchasing material made in PRC.

Regarding service, I’ve used glasses for so long I learned how to maintain, fit and fix minor damage to my glasses.

And regarding quality, even when I paid a lot more money, a pair of glasses would last for about a year, give or take a couple of months. I get the same time from a cheaper set of glasses. So, no gain in spending more.

Epson is running the market hard with their EcoTank printer. I’ve seen one litre bottles for less than €50.

If not, go for refurbished/refilled cartridges.

I still remember the fun of refilling old HP cartridges for a dime a dozen.

Buy from China.

I took the gamble because I had the money to spare and never looked back again.

The money I would pay for a set of glasses in my country goes easily over €300. With that amount, I can pay an ophthalmologist appointment, have my eyes checked by a doctor, properly, get the prescription, order two sets of glasses (one as a backup) and still have money to spare.

I recently discovered I can use an angle grinder with a level of precision and finess most people take some time to develop.

From free hand cutting straight lines into pretty much anything that can be cut, to precise cut of stone, cement or even metal.

I was dead afraid of this particular power tool for all my life and only when forced to use one to do some repairs around the house I discovered I could handle it so easily.

And that is why I loathe acronyms with all my heart.

Thank you for decoding it.

EVOO?

What’s that?

Pasta with tuna sauce was my strong card for years.

Recently I learned how to make creamy rice with no need for special purpose rice, so it became the preferred option as it can can take any toppings I can find in my fridge or pantry.
