Brother has great drivers, and cheap printers, but if you need an inkjet for colour printing, make sure you get one with an ink-tank instead of a cartridge system.

Ink bottles are DRM free so you can always use third-party ink, and even the manufacturers own ink bottles are typically much, much, much cheaper per ml than cartridges, although the upfront cost of the printer can be quite a bit higher because of that.

Personally, I have an Epson ET-8550, which I mainly use for photography. Its been fairly reliable, and I’ve had no issues using it with Linux. I filled it up with ink when I bought it, and even after a little more than year of use, its still got a over a quarter of its original ink remaining. I probably spent multiple times more for stationary paper than I do in ink for it.

Seems like the fascists are still falling for the same tricks used against them in WW2 to fool their reconnaissance and divert their bombers away from real targets.

UK National insurance is only 2% on earnings above ~£45k. For most of the population, since median salary is ~£39k, the national insurance rate is more like 8%, which comes to about £100-250 a month depending on where you are within that tax bracket.

Raising tax on people without children whilst simultaneously re-implementing the two child cap and thus stripping support from parents with children…

but hey, if it means I get 5p off my next £12 pint of beer, then lets goooo! /s

You know the exaggerated capitalist depictions of public executions during the cultural revolution?

Yeah… I think we gonna need some of that IRL for these shits.

Awesome, I’ve been looking for a good quality version of this to print on a3

That fake Stalin quote isn’t wrong tbh.

When the 6 people in the titan sub went missing, western govts moved heaven and earth to mount an extensive rescue operation despite knowing full well they most likely imploded.

Meanwhile, thousands die each year crossing the Mediterranean, and the same governments show nothing but contempt for them.

Your choices are:

Tory,

Diet Tory,

Or as of recently, Tory².

The Adama manoeuvre remains the GOAT.

Disappointing they didn’t go further with cybernetic planning.

Meanwhile I’m still sitting here waiting for my Xi Bucks to arrive

Haymarket 2: Electric Boogaloo

Now I’m not one for adventurism, buuuut…

We do have a month pass for bus and rail…

But it is only per region/zone, not nationwide…

So a ticket that only covers a 20km radius…

Costs £208… Per… Month…

Or you can go bus only for £93

And its a wonder why people are so car brained when even a 20 year old, fuel chugging SUV, costs half of that to own and run.

Ryan Gosling in the upcoming Project Hail Mary

I’m sure it’ll be fine, but that casting choice wouldn’t have been my first pick.

Doctor Who.

are you my mummy?

Just pushing the clean Wehrmacht myth. I wouldn’t be surprised if next they create a drama about an IDF soldier who has PTSD from committing warcrimes, and pass him off as a victim of his governments policies.

Edit: just rewatched the trailer. The protagonists are all wearing deathshead badges. What is this? Clean SS myth? ffs.

Even in Stalin’s time, there was collective leadership. The western idea of a dictator within the communist system is exaggerated. Misunderstandings on that subject are caused by the lack of comprehension of the real nature and organization of the Communist power structure. Stalin, although holding wide powers, was merely the captain of a team, and it seems obvious that Krushchev will be the new captain.
