So, name changes. How do I go about getting one, Starburns_ ?

Do we get to vote on several options?

How is it that I can by a brand new printer with ink cartridges for $40 but a set of cartridges without the black is 70 fudging dollars? Seriously considering just throwing the whole printer out and getting a new one whenever they run out.

This is why I've just given up & now print everything at work. Thanks for all your tax dollars guys

That's the point.

They don't make any money off the printer, they make all their money off the ink. You're better off buying a new printer.

oogac wins all their awards...

He does exceptional, exceptional work, I have always said that and always will. Beyond brilliant. However the Bay has far too big a fascination with shooping, and far too small a fascination with what we can do with words.

(says the guy whose gift is words...)

2nd-4th last year in the MVP all were wordy posters.

It's not a case of words vs shoops (if you check the vintage threads list, it's probably about even), it's more about standing out, so by default a good thread will outweigh a good week of posting everywhere (Shawt being the exception to that). Oogac is just ridiculously prolific with his ideas, when he makes a video or the monopoly thread, he goes straight to BOG for the week the same way Mofra does for bottom 50, or LW did for the Big Dog, etc. We just don't have enough quality written threads on the bay.

So, name changes. How do I go about getting one, Starburns_ ?

You'll need to either upgrade your account, or find a friendly supermod/admin and give them a good reason to change it for you.

With a new printer, they only fill the ink cartridges with 1/4 of the ink. I thought about doing it myself.

Pretty sure there are some inks out there which literally cost more than their weight in gold.

Favourite punter huh?

 

[Jazny]

We just don't have enough quality written threads on the bay.

The bay isn't about quality

 

[Starburns_]

The bay isn't about quality

It kind of is, that's why Oogac and Mofra dominate awards threads, and Tazhawk and LDJ win FOTY.

Yah, who prints at home these days?

Who still prints at all.

How else am I gonna get into concerts etc? Every time I've tried to use mobile tickets it holds up the line while the drongo in security tries to figure out how to scan it.

Don't be too worried if you see your like count decreasing. It was just me going back and unliking all of your posts.

Omg! You actually did!

It's not a bad way to eat necessarily, but it isn't the only right way to eat. And a lot of the premises that the diet is based on are pseudo-science. Grains, rice, and potatoes aren't bad for you in moderation. Japanese people generally eat a "high" carb diet and they have a high life expectancy and low obesity rates. They are just one example. People don't get fat because they eat carbs, they get fat because they constantly eat more calories than their body uses. You really only need to go low-ish carb if you don't do any exercise.

Well said, Jazny. So true.

The bay is about trolling. All quality work does is make people go "oh cool. heh" and then walk away. The threads that get the most bites, especially the ones that start with a ridiculous premise, are the best bay threads. Like Bosk's thread about Port taking drugs. There is a reason why the quality threads need to be stickied to be seen.

 

[Art Corvelay]

This one goes alright too.

Probably not unexpectedly, you can't go to a sporting event in Boston without hearing this at least 5 times during the game.

It's about everything, you can choose to either take the piss out of football, or troll other posters, there's no limit to the lulz. Personally, my favourite threads are the ones where everyone can contribute, such as KFC Boy, Pie charts, and the normal post - bay 13 post threads.

Also, from memory Bosk polled 6 votes the week he made that thread.

So you're saying I need to pay $5 to change my name?

I bit the bullet and bought some cartridges but now the colour scale is out of whack and I can't fix it.

I just want to print some lecture notes so I can do some study ffs.

it's bullshit isn't it. I have to do that often. Or the printer is outdated after 2 years so you can't get printer cartridges for it. EPSON is the worst for that.
