You could just not buy an HP printer. I use older Brother laserjet printers that I bought secondhand. A pack of 2 off-brand toner cartridges are about $20 on ebay. Enough people are dumb enough to overpay for ink that…
I use a chrome addon to ban all Wikipedia results from search.
Education is general has gotten dumbed down with time. I dropped out of college almost 20 years ago and am almost finished with my degree after returning. The difference between then and now is staggering. The mentality…
I support helping people with housing for a year or so to get back on their feet but let's address the elephant in the room. The government of California is the reason housing is so expensive in the first place. Now…

Im betting mRNA vaccines will replace all traditional vaccines, provided there are not any long term risks found. Many traditional vaccines contain live, weakened bacteria or viruses, (or dead ones which can become…
I try not to judge these jobs by first world standards. What I don't understand is why a company can use $2 an hour labor and then sell a product for $1K. If I ran the US, I would put heavy tariffs on goods that…
The entire US interstate system cost about 500 billion to build and has delivered tremendous value to the public. The California project is designed for political payoffs sadly, so it is functioning as intended.
A non-problem. Hubble is nearing the end of it's lifespan. Future satellites can be put into higher orbit or will contain technology that can compensate. People don't understand how big and empty space is, even around…
