cartridge refills cost more than the printer

I generally agree, but some are worse than others. HP is the absolute worst because their entire ecosystem is designed around expensive refills and forcing you onto their HP Direct printing. Plus, the wifi printing wouldn't work half the time. We recently went full Office Space on ours and bought a Canon -- which has been great.

Conservative? Have you seen his votes on insurance tort (abuse) reform?

I've had a couple of iPhones as work phones and they honestly seem like antiquated pieces of shite that are difficult to use by comparison

This has been my experience and my family (who've only had iPhones) can't understand my frustration. The ios upgrade to 26 "liquid" whatever did improve it somewhat, although my battery now dies in half the time. :lol:

if they need money they either manage better

I think the “manage better” is the Thrive plan. It will mot increase taxes and instead redirect funds to where they are more needed. Voting ‘no’ is a vote against managing better.

He will stick through to the end with the delusion that he somehow fixes this.

I think the writing on the wall is too strong for any delusions of fixing it. Instead, his type will blame everyone around him for the failure: the assistants, the players & NIL, lack of support by the boosters, fans, etc. Thus, he’s entitled to every bit of the buyout.

Let's say it rained 20 inches this month. But the month before it rained 10 inches. Wouldn't saying it rained 200% more this month be accurate?

---

No. In this case, it rained 100% more.

Serious question, in a car that uses regular, would running a tank of premium having cleaning properties owing to the additive packages to make it worthwhile

No, it would be too diluted for one tank to make a difference. If I had that concern, I’d buy a can of Seafoam and pour it in the tank when I’m about 1/4 tank of gas.

I’m wondering who you think would even have standing in this hypothetical lawsuit?

Good question. Most probably the FCC. Less likely Trump himself, saying that ABC is damaging his reputation and that of his supporters.

Hell, like others have said: it could be that ABC is looking for a reason due to his poor ratings. Or, they could be trying to make a statement in an effort to rebuild their reputation as a politically neutral news broadcaster. :lol:

Don’t like the precedent and chilling effect this will create.

Sorta. But the precedent was set long ago with one conservative voice after another being cancelled in both traditional and social media. This more or leas follows the precedent, although most people losing jobs were celebrating someone’s death, which conservatives haven’t done.

Another point related to your precedence comment: Kimmel didn’t celebrate Kirk’s death to my knowledge, so his suspension isn’t due to espousing a political viewpoint. Instead, he is spreading demonstrably false information, which certainly opens them up for a lawsuit and is a legitimate basis for ABC to suspend his employment.
