40 years old and still talks like an 11 year old edgelord playing Roblox.

Pretty Dynamite...out soon...

Printers haven't improved in 20 years because improving them would destroy the most profitable business model in consumer hardware. HP made $4.2 billion in printing revenue last quarter. Ink cartridge margins run 60-70%. Hardware margins are close to zero. The entire business depends on you buying a $30 printer and spending $300 a year on ink to feed it. Every possible improvement works against that math. Longer-lasting cartridges, more efficient printing, better paper handling that wastes fewer pages. All of those shrink the $4.2 billion number. So instead of improving the printer, HP spent two decades improving the lock-in. Firmware updates that brick third-party cartridges. Subscription plans that disable your printer if you cancel. Chips on cartridges that report "empty" at 40% remaining. Region-locked ink. Canon and Epson run the same playbook. Three companies control 75%+ of the consumer printer market and all three discovered the same thing: the customer already accepted that printers suck. There is zero competitive pressure to make them better because nobody switches printer brands expecting improvement. The setup experience still feels like 2004 because the setup was never where the money was. The money was always in the cartridge you replace six weeks later.

Hey everyone - your Mayor encourages you to take public transit this morning. C’mon, give it a try! It will help with our Vision Zero / Net Zero / Climate / Circular Economy goals. Awesome 👍

A cow escaped her farm in Poland in November and is living her new life. She has been found months later roaming a forest with a herd of European bison. Forest officials say the herd has fully accepted the cow as one of their own. ✨

YIKES 😀 Sounds like CARNEY is getting heckled BIG TIME at his announcement with bestie Doug Ford 😅

Cut your plastic rings. It'll only take a second out of your life and you will save wildlife.

The UK is trapped in an energy crisis accelerated by war in the Middle East. We don't need to fire missiles. We need to fire Ed Miliband. And if Keir Starmer won't do it, we need to fire him, too.

Before the war: 1) Iran didn't control the Strait Of Hormuz, now it does 2) Iran oil was sanctioned, now it's not 3) Iran was not building a nuke, now it will 4) US bases in the Gulf were assets, now liabilities 5) Inflation was declining, now increasing Definitely winning!

BREAKING - MAID FOR CHILDREN WITHOUT PARENTAL KNOWLEDGE OR CONSENT. Tiny Tim is feeling blue because his legs are more sore than usual… the school MAID Counsellor takes Timmy aside and over a period of a week convinces Timmy that he would be better off dead. Timmy returns to school on Monday. He’s feeling a bit less blue. He’s not as sore. He had a nice relaxing weekend with his brothers and sisters and Mom and Dad. The MAID Counsellor convinces Timmy that feeling better is only temporary. Timmy tearfully agrees. He is hooked up to an IV. He is administered a paralytic so that he can no longer move or speak. The lethal dose is administered to stop his little heart. The MAID Counsellor who is also a “Nurse” fills out the Death Certificate. Cause of Death - “Chondromalacia patellae and associated severe depression”. Timmy’s body is immediately whisked off for blood and organ “harvesting”. Mom comes to pick Timmy up after school, no one bothers to come out and tell her that they murdered her son. Two weeks later the MAID Counsellor receives a 2,000 bonus payment on they/them/their pay check for providing billable “high quality medical care”. COMING SOON TO A PROVINCE IN COMMUNIST CANADA! #AlbertaIndependence

Almost 2 decades of service with Air Canada and the guy was forced to retire because he didn’t speak French. Canada is lost. So many petty & vindictive people. Each time something like this happens and people cave to the groupthink hordes it sets a precedent.

NDP currently have five seats in the House of Commons and non-party status This type of stunt will ensure they are reduced to zero

So let's get this straight. This is the deputy leader of the Green Party with his fully veiled wife, right? And the leader of the Green Party is the gay Jewish bloke who yesterday gyrated on stage with a load of men dressed in bondage gear. Which of these two loons is actually representative of the Green Party because it seems to me that, even at the top, they have absolutely no idea what they're about.

Italy's Defence Minister on the consequences of the Iran war for Italy: “I am forced to know things about what could happen in the coming week, and the effects it will have on the economy and our daily lives, that no longer allow me to sleep.” [@repubblica]

This surrender to the mob harms us all.

A convicted drunk driver with an assault conviction who has been accused of beating up his girlfriend would like to share his views on violence. Welcome to Canada.

Canadian Juno awards were somehow worse than the NDP special needs convention.

Today is the leadership convention of the NDP, Canada’s socialist party The crowd at the convention chanted “Eat the Rich” in unison and then unironically elected a private school educated multimillionaire. Socialists are fun like that.
