A confession.

Thanks for sharing your perspective 😃

They last a long time. I think it depends on the volume the machines outputs. Commercial printing... the floor run, 3 meter printers? One every couple of weeks or so. However, those machines saw thousands of prints a day. They are still superior to inkjet in many ways. I know the drums are more expensive than toner cartridges, though. The toner and ozone from the fuser would make @integral dry retch 😅

One pitfall to the laser printer are Drum cartridge replacements. The drum is the cylinder inside that is polarised by static, the toner sticks to it and the drum rolls it over the page to run through the fuser to adhere it to the paper. Over time, and many thousands of prints, these drums wear down and must be replaced. The printer will come to a full stop. There is a drum for every colour (cyan, magenta, black, yellow). The drums are very expensive. However, they last a long time! Just thought I would note the additional consumable. NB I used to run a huge professional print house using laser, inkjet and offset printing. Fun fact #1 - almost every printer images a tiny yellow dot raster (MIC) onto every page, that identifies the printer. Date, time and serial number are printed, invisible to the eye.

Let's try not to derail every thread into men vs women.

Of course - this is where I was first introduced to him way back 😁

There's a shit ton of crazy conspiracy Russell dove into. And much, much more. I've been seeing bits of him here and there for years. He seems to have a very unstable sense of self and flip flops paradigms and beliefs.

Feed us. Does it touch on temperament? Feed us.

@Nemra women's sportswear.... Don't get me started. The argument goes ... 'it's comfortable, and functional for the gym' I'm sorry. What do girls do when they get home? Do they lounge around in their comfy skin tight, shapewear, revealing gym uniform with makeup on? Or do they whip off bras, take off makeup, tie hair up and get into oversized cotton t-shirts/hoodies and loose pants? And mark my words many, many chicks have makeup on in the gym... 'no makeup' makeup. I'm all for girlies doing as they please. But let's not pretend here.

I sense you might need to hear this: as well. And maybe spirituality wriggling out of a self won't help.

Of course, I never denied or negated any of that. That was never my argument. Were you trying to personally give me some advice here, and in your original comment to me? The thing is, the very thing you preach 'if only you knew me' applies here too. If only you knew me, you would know I am all about the above quotation. But I also love me some Machiavellian humour in witnessing the hubris of another. I have mirth 😃 I never assumed you were judging me, just making a statement on projection and human nature in general. I observe this is the second time you have stated this in reply to me. So it sure feels personal. Feel free to correct me. I meant no offense to you at all.

Just assumptions - and see, this is why I laugh at myself and Russell! Everyone so serious! You might need a laugh too 😃

Notice that you judge me also and this is its own form of virtue signalling. I didn't take anything personally. Nothing was personal toward you.

No one did. They read the comments and comment on the comments bringing their own context. Love it.
