Your father is a stubborn old mule. There I said it. HP is going to either die quickly or leak ink or both
He once took HP to small claims court. And he still buys their products! I don't get him.
My father makes mules look pliant.
The like is for your mother being somewhat sane, somewhat because look who she married
For your father
He wasn't like this when they got married! Apparently people change between age 25 and 61.The like is for your mother being somewhat sane, somewhat because look who she married
Although he did do some weird things in his youth, like he refused to wear shorts in the summer. He wore cordoroy. Now, he did outgrow that. He wears shorts and I have never seen him in cordoroy.
They cheat on the chips on their ink cartridges.
My parents don't do that. My dad owns a smart phone, but my mom owns a flip phone. She does not want a smart phone at all and only uses it for calling. My dad is into playing Solitaire on smart phone.
I've got an Epson WF-3720. I love it, it does everything. It might even make breakfast for all I know. I never asked. Scans, copies, prints, both sides and faxes. Full color and sharp and clear print. Even has a jet self cleaner. Bought it via Amazon and was a real reasonable price. My last one was an HP. It lasted a lot of years but when it gave out it was quick and relatively painful. It crapped out just after the Pandemic became a factor. At that point the only way to get a printer was to rob someone that already had one.
I fall asleep while reading on a regular basis.
I have either an Epson or Canon, but I haven't been able to use it in YEARS. It's one of those scanner/printer/copiers, BUT it has the ink cartridges that are all attached to each other, so you can't just change one, you have to change the whole thing, and the cartridges cost almost as much as the whole printer. AND, when the ink is low, it also won't scan. It tells you that you have to replace the ink cartridge before you can scan anything, even though scanning doesn't involve the use of ink. It was relatively new, but we printed my choir music on it or something, so it ran out of ink really quickly, and then it just wouldn't do anything, and my husband can print things out at work. So we never replaced the ink cartridge and it just sits there collecting dust, and any time I need something printed, I have to either take it to the grocery store and pay 10-50 cents per copy, or wait for a day or two for my husband to be in the office to print it there.
I fall asleep watching TV -- every night!
Multiple TV stations will carry it "live". (P.S.: Loved Richard Branson's Virgin Galactic flight last week, by the way.) 
I print stuff so often we couldn’t be without one.
I watched it also. Was it just me or did his fellow passengers seem bored? I totally would have been looking out the windows and had a grin plastered on my face the whole time.@donaldtoo -- if you can get a few minutes away from your architectural work this morning, at 9 AM (note: EASTERN time -- I think you're in Central time, and if so, that would be 8:00 AM for you), Blue Origin's rocket will take off from its base in Texas, for an 11-minute joy ride (4 passengers) into space! Enjoy!
I'll be watching it, for sure.
Bored?!
Heck, no -- not my impression at all. I thought all of them looked very excited during the trip -- particularly the weightlessness portion.
