Chronicling a body of evidence demonstrating that the U.S. government is horrifyingly tyrannical at almost every level, and authoritarianism, cronyism and corruption have poisoned almost every aspect of American life. We show the very real need for Americans to follow through on the Founding Fathers' instructions to overthrow their government and the evil corporations that control it.

If you find a news article or dumb corporate bigot on Twitter that has said or done something so egregious that it made you wonder why Americans don't band together and do something about those motherfuckers, it belongs here.

Epson Ecotank happy as a pig in shit user here. Bought it 5 years ago, still going strong. No bullshit cartridges just fill the tanks with ink and off it goes. Yes you don’t a little more for the printer but it pays off the first refill.

How are they for rare usage? My last ink spewer dried up after each print because I had weeks between them. Switched to monochrome laser years ago but it's getting old and it decides to print 20 pages of garbage on every fourth print or so.

I think you're probably fine. The inks themselves have a 2 year expiration date, but AFAIK that's just a typical "Quality assured until" date. I've not heard any issues with long spans between prints, so long as it's plugged in so it can do a bit of maintenance.

Mine is going strong with the ink that came with it. Around five years too.

Probably epson is going to enshittify the model, because they're not making any money off of me (because their shit is actually working)

HP on the other hand will never see a cent from me again, so keeping me happy will probably still pay off for Epson in the long run.
