Quick thing about Canons: If they take two cartridges, they're actually made by HP and just branded for Canon. We had nothing BUT problems with those things. If they take four or more tank style cartridges, they're actually made by Canon, and are as solid as rocks. Those actually became my go-to suggestion for customers after the Brother yellow printheads started having faults.

Well, HP is still better than Kodak printers from my experience.

Wow, I've officially been out of the tech support world for too long. Last time I dealt with printers, you couldn't pay me enough to use a Canon or Brother, it was HP or nothing.__________________ My husband made me do this.

Sitting on just one of your balls is better than sitting on both. So, I've been thinking: I kind of like how this community has always been on the smallish side. The MTG subreddit was basically a race to the bottom to see who could be the most obnoxious neckbearded ****mook. MTGSal's only saving grace is the MTG subreddit. More people rarely seems to mean a "better" community. What that boils down to, is that I was just on MTGSal, and now my brain hurts and I hate everything.

I won't touch MTG Salvation with a ten foot pole, even if someone paid me to. I loath the place. And Reddit isn't much better. Rampant downvoting for perfectly legitimate threads and replies that are helpful, while troll/jokes are upvoted beyond reason. The only decent subreddit I've ever found, is the one for World of Warships - because it's a tiny community.

Had a found gold moment today. Many years ago, around the time Masques was popular I bought an Antiquities set from a dealer for $100. Put it in a binder and mostly didn't think about it much for the next few years. For most of the time since I actually felt like I got ripped off. Today I'm looking at deck lists, ticked because I don't have any workshops and would love to play some of the workshop decks when I realize I do have one. It's in really good shape too, but I'm probably going to sell it.Good times. Edit: inb4 salvation nooooo

... I hate you with every fiber of my being. My buddy paid $100 for a playset of Candelabras years ago. Now Candelabras are $300+ each. Wtf, summer Factory is $400? That has got to be a typo...

Because people are clueless. The european website can deal with it, should be closed here.

Soooooo...minor (to me, but I'm pretty jaded) medical shenanigans on the day rent is due. Fun. Perfect timing really since after my wife's car payment gets auto deducted, we're basically left with rent money.Any ideas for a fat ugly guy to make about $100 real quick like? I'm not 100% opposed to selling one of my decks, but that might take a while since we'd be talking in the $500+ range. Anyway: There was a Twitch stream about the next EverQuest expansion today. The second biggest whiners in the game completely derailed it. Dicks. BAAWWWWW WHAT ABOUT TIME LOCKED PROGRESSION SERVERS!? You're TWO servers, shut the **** up. You're also nowhere near unlocking recent expansions. I say they're the second biggest, because omg, the PVP *******s are insane. WAAAAHHHH, WE CAN'T RAID BECAUSE OF PVP! Then don't play on the PVP server!

I don't see how that was a mistake, although a case could be made from keeping it off-site. Apparantly people are fine with the current situation. I know we're all busy people, but I would've made time were I could to help out.

No job. Also, poo on infinity% APR No credit cards. They're all broke too, hah. Working on eBay now. This Jessica Jones show that's about to be on Netflix sent some comics I've had sitting around collecting dust through the freaking roof. **** my LGS! I might put my Merfolk stuff up on eBay. Don't want to though, bleh. No job. Eh... The cool thing is that our apartment managers are awesome and gave us some leeway. Probably helps that one of them is also a total comic book and sci-fi nerd.

Hah! Maybe he'd take some of my comics. I want to get rid of most of them anyway. I listed several hundred worth on eBay last night. So here's hoping some stuff can get gone. At the very least, to get my wife's car paid off so we can cut some fat from the budget.

Sadly he's right. Unless the site gets an overhaul (probability < 1%) or we start our own version (probability maybe 2%), it'll slowly bleed to death. Even the regulars have stopped posting. And now for something completely different:
Do you know that one about the Dutch national soccer team and the European Championship in 2016? Well, they aren't going! __________________ I'm a geek, you're a geek.

Very unfortunate and unlikely this new site will ever happen, though I would like to see it happen.
