    I'm not surprised. Police tend not to arrest protestors they agree with. And more students were shot in Kent State than Jan 6ers.

    I wonder how much is due to tire compound. Lower rolling resistance vs your stickier 370z rubber. Making regs on tire compound wear for stock tires could help this issue.

    If anything it proves money is a disconnect from everyday people and usage. Using an inkjet with cartridges already feels like a subscription as you need to replace them so frequently. Which is why I switched to a color laser and a tank printer for photos.

    Either way this probably will be a Louis Rossman video if it hasn't already.

    My Brother Hl2280dw and 9340cdw worked without issues. And I trust any other color or bw laser from them to do the same. They're the most reliable brand I've used.

    Looks interesting. I've found Habaneros more delicious than regular bell peppers so this is neat. I'm also wondering why he isn't using gloves.

    I felt that way when working with WordPerfect at a law office. Especially when open source variants are easier to use (which is rarely the case) and more secure/updated.
