Yes, I'm sure using all those perishable ingredients wont result in a printer with a funny smell

[Strik3r]

Also ink is very expensive

I discovered today that it's possible to make black printer ink on your own with a lighted candle and a mix of egg yolk, gum Arabic and honey (or also to make blue ink out of laundry bluing). Then you can inject it with a syringe in your empty cartridge.

That would be fine, but tech companies are insidious and vile.. Nowadays, printer ink carts' chip firmware prevents printing with it after a certain number of prints or something, regardless of how much ink is there in the cart, you can refill it all you want, but the firmware in the chip in the cart's still gonna tell the printer that it's out of ink.

There was a wondereful, eye-opening and rage-inducing video about it on youtube, let me see if i can't find it...

Here: "Ink Cartridges Are A Scam" On Youtube, by AustinMcConnell

I think a segment in the video talks about it a bit.

making black ink's cool and all but I need cyan to print in black in white.

Ugh

[heydude6]

That's why you should buy a laser printer instead. There's none of that anti-consumer ink management nonsense.

Honey is a fantastic preservative though, it might help stave off the rottiness?

...although that usually works best when the honey gets to be a unified front line of defense

Oh here people simply pirate the cartidge chips and be done with it. Living in Tortuga from Pirates of the Caribean has its perks.

I have spent an inordinate amount of time looking for people’s experience of FATAL on the interwebs over the past few days.

Anal? Anal dilation in a tablebottle?

There's more than one Tortuga, the Tortuga with the pirates is part of Haiti.

I mean, we only lack the wooden peg legs and the parrots because both were used to cook a meal. Here EVERYTHING can a has been pirated, I dare to say right down to whole cars, making the phrase "you would not download a car" have a new meaning.

[Maximum Spin]

making the phrase "you would not download a car" have a new meaning.

I remember that. It was so dumb because, I mean, obviously I would.

Yeah. It's just that no one's seeding a Camaro.

Isn't it now technically possible to 3D print a car now? Granted, you're gonna need a giant 3D printer for that to happen, but there's this car called the Czinger 21C, which is almost entirely 3D printed. It's because they used some machine learning stuff to create their parts, so the only thing able to manufacture the strange designs that process generates is 3D printing. That, or they're collecting as many buzzwords as possible.

[LordBaal]

They are making  an assertive shift of paradigms.
