I found my pair* of Brother color laser MFPs on Craigslist, being listed by a small business that was getting rid of them. I think you'll have a lot better luck finding them via some method like that than by checking thrift shops.

That said, they are pretty giant, being designed for small/medium office use. However, I'm not sure there even is such a thing as a "small" color laser, since they inherently have to contain four sets of rollers instead of just one.

(* if you find somebody selling more than one of the same model, definitely get two so you have one for spare parts.)

the larger gauge wires were to carry more current required by the old halogen bulb and are unnecessarily large for an LED light

To be fair, just because the controlling factor is mechanical strength rather than current capacity doesn't mean the need for heavier gauge wire isn't legitimate.

The UK stole those islands from the Chagossians. The UK doesn't have the right to sell them to the US or anyone else to begin with!

LOL, they're making a game about "outpost scientists"?!

Like USian over American…I get it but it sounds stupid

Frank Lloyd Wright tried to popularize "Usonian," but it never made it past the context of architecture.

We can (and should) just stop buying Sony items however as they are not doing so great on that front already.

Waaay ahead of ya there, buddy. I've been deliberately boycotting Sony since at least the rootkit in 2005, and I think the newest Sony product I actually bought was a Walkman cassette player.

Trouble is, Sony somehow still went right on existing as a huge multinational corporation for the last 20 years anyway. It's almost as if boycotts aren't enough and we actually need consumer protection law. 🤔

Revoke Sony's corporate charter? Ban Sony products from being imported? Criminally charge the CEO and board?

There's no way the roof rack is rated for that much weight (let alone sloshing around).

Pretty sure that car doesn't come in a diesel version.

  • It's a full controller, no "only one joystick" like the 2015 model.

This is 16-bit controller slander.

I also have a pair of underused Steam Controllers, and a Steam Link to go with them. Turns out I just don't care about gaming on my TV.

Hopefully my neighbors will rejoice as I no longer have to cut and drill steel.

My next goal is to find another junk trailer so I can get the wheels more centered and have better handling and keep the rear of the trailer from scraping when going up and down driveways.
