Welcome to our news blog! A simple forum for us to share our thoughts, our reads and our daily lives even as we now live ridiculously far away from one another. I, for one, spend way too much time browsing and reading news articles, even while I know the next day most will be largely forgotten except for the most interesting ones. So, wouldn't it be nice if my friends told me which were the best to read? Yes! So join me, help me out. Post a news article--or update me on your life!

Biggest Ripoff Ever

I haaate buying ink cartridges. It is SOOOO painful to pay $15 every couple of months the pages start being shplotchy and gray.

New, each 5 mL cartridge is $15. ($3/mL)
Refurbished it's still $8-$12, not including shipping.

Versus.

$20 for 90 mL in an ink refill kit. (today I got mine from Staples)
Let's estimate you waste about a third of that with things drying out, or spilling, or shenanigans.

So adjusting for loss, we'll say $20 for 60 mL instead. ($0.33/mL)

That's TEN TIMES CHEAPER!!
