    So the thing that matters is inkjet printers? lol.

    I'm definitely a nerd.

    I find it odd that on TV we can't show a nipple but we don't hesitate to show a bullet going thru a head is slow motion.

    I don't get it. I guess you only speak in meme.

    Make the world a better place. Less violence. More nipples. (new tag line?)

    really much cheaper to print color at pro-printing places. especially if you're only printing an occasional pic.

    Printing at home is a niche market, but people are still having tons of their photographs printed at places like Walgreens. Agree on the printing photos at home part, but like I said if you print anything like that at home, the inkjet is probably better.

    Print/copy/scan is the only reason I still have a decade old multifunction HP printer.

    It does a good job with old photos and whatnot.

    No idea what ink costs...never thought about it before until this thread

    Bought an Epson Ecotank when they first came out. Love it. Only replaced black ink once.

    Hmmmm....couldn't make that movie today. Took me years to watch it but it was solid for a white guy in blackface. Somewhere Uncle Ruckus is smiling about the reverse vitiligo...

    It worked because:

    1. They were openly making fun of actors getting cast in "whitewashing" roles
    2. It was Robert Downey Jr
    3. It was ****ing hilarious

    Yeah, RDJ was playing a pretentious Australian method actor. The whole thing was layers deep.
