you know you cant tip the tube right?

cant tip the tube

that's the problem right there.

We just went with "fuckin' Russell"...

Pringles are shit.

Fucking weird potato mush formed into soylent green tablets in excess (stupid) packaging

In a 7k walk I think we hit double digits of busted disposable vapes. Vape cunts.

Flat leaf parsley. It’s shite.

Curly parsley FTW.

No, curly parsley can get back into whatever fucking swamp spawned it. Tastes the same, far less pleasant to deal with.

^Bitter and repressed, obvs.

Home Printers.

I'm 3hrs into printing a document for my partner. Our old printer HP C4580 is chewing up every page, I think end of life.

We've been given an Envy 6020e and it is now "validating" it's cartridges with HP. How long this takes is unknown. One workaround apparently is to open the cartridge replacement door, hit the wifi button, close the door, and hope it prints an alignment page.

I have a wifi direct pin for it which apparently should allow me to print without it being connected to the home network, but this will only work if I can work out the special move combo on the mostly non-responsive touchpad. The launch move (Hold (i) until all lights come on) simply prints a printer information report. I have enough of these to wrap all this years Xmas presents now.

I'd happily have paid £50 to print this in my local printers as this would easily be cheaper than my time wasted trying to sort this. I've put the time in now so feel like I should stay up all night to get it working if necessary.

If/when you buy a replacement, get a Brother. Forget HP especially. Thank me later.

And also get a laser printer.

My HP was fucking horrible to use. Constantly having to fiddle with it to get it do anything.

Replaced it with a Canon PIXMA and things are much improved.

Despite the two recommendations above I've got a Brother laser printer and still hate it.

I dunno, my m15w has been a stalwart so far (3.5 years)

If you just accept that, although virtually every other device in the world can connect to the internet fine, printers and wi-fi don't mix then it all gets a lot less frustrating.

In a 7k walk I think we hit double digits of busted disposable vapes. Vape cunts.

I hate disposable batteries, so vape cunts leaving perfectly good LiPos around the place works for me - I get ten USB C charging modules from AliExpress for a few bucks, attack the offending disposable battery powered device with dremel, soldering iron and glue gun, and bam.

Gotta wear gloves to get the battery out of those stupid stinky vapes though

Not sure I follow. Are you keeping the batteries?

@Muc-ed-off ta both. Not sure partner will accept monochrome but this could be useful if so

Some guy made an e-bike power bank from reclaimed batteries.

They need a hefty security deposit on disposable vapes until they ban them outright.

Legend.

Mark is now toying with the idea of running workshops to teach people how to build their own e-bike safely using old vape batteries.

Mark is going to contribute to a lot of houses and flatblocks catching fire.

That ship has sailed.

Did you collect / bin them?

I got so annoyed with red bull cans on a road I regularly ride, I collected 48 one morning and posted them to red bull UK telling them how they should be doing more to educate their customers. Fucking wankers. Don't know how people can even drink that muck.

To some they're one of their 5 a day.
