Have one of the last decent HP printers.

I’ve gone from being able to easily and happily recycling my laser printer cartridges to HP - print off the label and send free post - to going through some convoluted account sign-up bullshit pictures of my inside leg whilst upside down. Yeah not happening.

Eventually my toner is going to be too expensive to support and the printer scanner will break.

Thank-you for asking this question.

You mean dead pool like? Eeek.

1985. I was there.

The end of 2023.

It’s not really about the cost but the initial outlay. I don’t want to pay out that kind of money for a test. Not that I don’t believe you etc etc.

TBF I haven’t been to the OEM website to see if I can get a tester! So almost definitely my bad.

Thank-you again. Struggling to get stuff done atm so hopefully get back soon.

That’s an underrated comment. Thank-you.

Just looked it up on Amazon. Thank-you. Hopefully I can get a tester from nuud themselves rather than the £25 there!

Burnt myself recently on a traditional deo having tried to stay away from Aluminium based one; I think it held it too close on this occasion. I’m old and it shouldn’t have happened. Had many small blood blisters under my arms but internally. Horrible. Anyway, it seems to have changed me. Since then I’ve been sensitive to many deodorants.

Currently looking for something else that works, hopefully Nuud is it. Thank-you.

That’s rather beautifully put and extra marks for p-h-t! 😁😜

I learned low level stuff to give prices to traders before the trading interval ended. I’m serious. Our four man hedge fund was under the wing of huge French bank. Pricing in the era was painful.

Asked for a price in the era used to take minutes for derivatives; I was told much faster wasn’t possible; that’s a red rag to me. I had no choice but to get dirty and go low level again.

The traders were old style barrow-boys, their like disappeared maybe a year or so after. Derivatives have a load of parameters that go with the actual price, “the Greeks”, and market traders easily remember sets of shopping lists and prices and quantities at the same time. They were a shoe-in before computers were actually useful on a trading floor.

I learned to program on a 6502 RISC chip in Acorn Assembler. I liked it because BASIC was shit in the era (GOTO Fcuk My Life), like it got much better … 🤣😂 Knowing how programs work allows me to try to make it faster. These days I _think know compilers are smarter than me.

Rust appeals too for the time-travel aspect. I’d like to learn to write a threaded program. I would have loved to do that when back in the day, I always regretted the way it worked, but it was way beyond me 😭 .

I wouldn’t mind looking at my old original killer pricing program, I knew it could be optimised then, but I just didn’t have the time or the skills to go that extra mile. I regret that bitterly. 😡

If you get time, let me know of your (t)rust travels. Bon voyage.

Probably Ruby. For some reason … no, that’s a lie … playing with Exherbo, Gentoo and Funtoo, but mostly Exherbo, made me loathe Python. However, everyone in the data processing arena seems to use it, so I’m bound to have to change my ways eventually! For “Ruby”: read “Python”.

My days of needing high-speed low level languages are long gone. I learned C on Borland C++ back in 1990 to price derivatives on 386s. Loved it.

If I mess around with any language it’s for fun. I intend to commit suicide, when my time is done, by the percussive head trauma that learning Haskell will cause me.

And that’s just the cars.

Provide something other than t’n’a. Demonstrate a desire to build a partnership with a person where you can learn, nurture, teach and enjoy together; no matter how long it lasts.

I wouldn’t say yes to anyone without a brain; I’m not alone. A random artifact is much cheaper with the same credentials and lasts far longer.

Otherwise, just have a damn good wank by yourself without cameras, without posting it online, and call it a day.

The only one that has been good is Waitrose. Difficulty when you live near a small store, because they don’t have the range.

Asda is always a disaster. Hell, you don’t get the stuff you want when you physically go to the shop.

Tesco is ok.

If you have the money, use Waitrose. The reputation is deceptive as their budget range is as good as some of the other supermarkets super-duper and less than the cost. You will order nice stuff too, order less kale to make up for it! 🤣😂

Ditto. Much preferred to standard layout.

Never used anything else though.

Probably twice or more as often as I complain. I’m not shy about either and I make sure that there complaint is reasonable, not about scoring points, and with an easy way out.

I am really anti people who only complain. Finding fault with something is really easy compared to complementing.

Finding fault with yourself is twice as easy as even that.

A simple complement can change a day and/or prevent a suicide that you would never know about.

If you want to know who someone is, watch how they treat people who they believe are ‘below’ them. If something is still ‘off’, get them drunk: real personalities come out to play when inhibition is completely gone.

Yes!

Lots of things: everything from Jordan Peterson to Jeff Geerling, Fedora magazine to Firefox.

Quite a few websites, feature RSS feeds. You’d be surprised.

This is the guy who is quite keen on tampon sucking. Anal isn’t going to be a problem.

Absolutely outstanding contribution! Thank-you so much.

People also believe that there’s a god that changes water into wine, walks on water, … too. People believe all sorts of stuff, weird or not.

Worry about things that you can do something about or explicitly react too.
