Funny how if you don't cram 10,000 chickens into tiny cages all stacked on top of one another...

My general advice to people when shopping for used printers is if it's new enough to have a colour LCD, it's too new. Ones like this with a 2x 16 character display are predominantly safe.

This rule holds for more manufacturers than you might expect.

For my sins, I did end up with an HP. But it's a 2012 model (my specific one was built in 2017 however), well predating HP's bullshit. It's a colour A3 laser with Ethernet and automatic duplex, so I'm happy enough with it.

More importantly, how much butter are we going to have to steal to make enough hollandaise sauce?

Hey! I've seen this story before!

This wasn't the kind of life-imitating-art I was hoping for.

That wasn't my point, even remotely.

It was rather that they likely can't just ignore this bullshit and carry on doing the right thing, no matter how much they should.

Sadly, as a traded company they would appear to have to at least respond to a "but but but muh shareholders!" argument, no matter the source (or how pathetic it is).

It's not that they seemingly can't (rightly) tell them to piss off, but it probably has to be done a lot more carefully.

She definitely seems to have a sort of aggressive indifference that definitely wouldn't click with everyone.

In a longer series run, whether it looks like she's playing a character or herself might be the difference between success and failure. The prize and live tasks - as always - would be the great deciders.

Fatiha was hilarious on the recent Big Fat Quiz, and judging by that clip is not going to be taking any of Alex's shit :D

It'll be interesting to see Jason Mantzoukas in a whole season of something, he's always amazing when he shows up as the hilariously disruptive force in whatever show he's in (think Brooklyn Nine-Nine, The Good Place).

Mathew, Rosie and Stevie I don't know at all.

It always seemed like an amazing way to speed-run repetitive strain injury to me.

Anything that requires that level of precision but offers basically zero range of motion just seems to force unnatural levels of tension in every muscle in your hand and wrist.

The things cause me agonising wrist pain within minutes of use, not something I've experienced with any modern (ie, larger than the postage stamp sizes of old) touchpad.

Good riddance.
