wow, that was one really weird weekend. Didn’t update for 2 whole days. been really lazy recently. Probably have mono ;p.
I went to bed @ 8:30am last morning and woke up @ 2:30pm and the found out my computer died. So skipping the remainder of my classes, I went about to fix my computer. It seems to be rather fine now, if not better. So I’m happy.
For fans of rice rockets (souped up cars), I’d recommend The Legend of Speed (Chinese equivalent of Fast and Furious):
I bet mechy will like this ;p, it has NOZ (NO2)
Interesting fact:
Krunk4Ever (5:30:27 PM): yep, not many places sell generic lexmark cartridges
Krunk4Ever (5:30:29 PM): i wonder why…
Krunk4Ever (5:30:38 PM): all epsons cartridges are made generic
Krunk4Ever (5:30:41 PM): but hp has few
Krunk4Ever (5:30:43 PM): and so does lexmark
Krunk4Ever (5:30:51 PM): is there like some patent?
ungsunghero (5:32:05 PM): no
ungsunghero (5:32:12 PM): hp and lexmark carts have the printer heads on them
ungsunghero (5:32:19 PM): cost to manufacture = a lot
ungsunghero (5:32:26 PM): epsons do not
ungsunghero (5:32:32 PM): cost to manufacture = not nearly as much
Krunk4Ever (5:33:14 PM): what’s printer heads?
Krunk4Ever (5:33:22 PM): those little copper pieces?
ungsunghero (5:33:37 PM): where the cartridge touches the paper
Krunk4Ever (5:33:47 PM): what’s the head for?
ungsunghero (5:34:01 PM): think of it as the equivalent of a ball bearing in a “ball point pen”
Krunk4Ever (5:34:08 PM): ah i c
Krunk4Ever (5:34:13 PM): how do epsons print then?
ungsunghero (5:34:15 PM): epson carts = the plastic “guy” (shudder) holding the ink
Krunk4Ever (5:34:25 PM): n/m
Krunk4Ever (5:34:29 PM): i think i know how now
ungsunghero (5:34:32 PM): hp/lexmarks = the plastic thingy (shudder…) + the metal part
Krunk4Ever (5:34:38 PM): the printer heads are part of the printer on the epson
Krunk4Ever (5:34:48 PM): and the cartridges are just bottles of ink
ungsunghero (5:34:49 PM): precisely
Krunk4Ever (5:34:58 PM): ah, it all makes sense now
ungsunghero (5:35:04 PM): exactly!
ungsunghero (5:35:05 PM): how do i know this? i’m the king of useless facts!
Krunk4Ever (5:35:14 PM): i wonder if i can send my cartridges back in and make some money
ungsunghero (5:35:19 PM): (my new catchphrase…you may quote me)
Krunk4Ever (5:35:37 PM): kewl
ungsunghero (5:39:28 PM): so has peter educated toland on something interesting today???
