It is just a toy...

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.

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.

How is that?

As it is, that same argument was used by Apple to try to dodge from complying with the demand for having an industry standard for data and charge port/cable - the USB-C.

Planned obsolescence is a thing. Having law put in place to curb it is a good thing.

If you know you can buy something and you know that something will be repairable at least for a decade, it passes confidence to the end user.

Competition is welcome. Innovation as well. Legislation like this just means companies need to share standards and cooperate more and not aim to skin the client in an endless cycle of replacing expensive items that get thrown out before they are worn out.

The dog loved his bath but also loved to get everybody pissed off. It was a very stupid game of catch the dog played.

For the time, it wasn't cheap.

In 2008, here, the minimum wage was €426, so about €2,42 an hour. So €100 for 4 hours of work was a very good pay.

You can dislike a place and have nothing against people living it.

Considering the mentioned locations are, boiled down, hell holes run mostly by angry white men, I'd risk the living conditions in those places is due to systemic racism and other outdated views on what a society should be.

People living in those those areas are victims and most probably poverty blocked to even consider to leave, regardless of melanin skin levels, although in the US being a shade over milk white is a detriment for having peaceful life.

Stating those places are a bad choice to live is not racism: is stating a fact.

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

Thank you for decoding it.

Being slightly magnetic could prove useful: never again would cutlery fall from your hands!

And being capable of interfacing with 5G antennas? Becoming my own personal signal booster?

ah, foiled again...

I've read a few texts from the same source and they read quite childish.

It felt like reading essays from very young children: there is some degree of coherence, some information is there but it lacks actual advancement on the subject.

Can we spare a moment to think about this?

Never crossed my mind to look for such kind of bulb but I'd risk I won't be able to find it in the local market.

If safety/security is a concern, lights are simply placed at hard to reach locations or are bought with safety housings, which are fairly cheap. In extremis, instead of common voltage bulbs, high voltage are used, thus incompatible with household voltage.

And specific purpose lamps... I may be the odd one but there are other sockets available in the market. Why opt for the basis threaded one?
