A bowl of chocolate buttons are favoured by the elderly, easier to manage than a chunky bar of Dairy Milk.

You couls say they worked thier magic on you

 

[robfosters]

What’s so magic about it all?

The price. Reassuringly expensive.

Edit - makes your money disappear was probably better

They made pee stream from all who saw the wonderous feat of salesmanship. Buckets needed everywhere.

Wow they saw you coming...........

Did someone actually choose to buy that mouse? Has to be one of the most unnatural things I've ever tried to use.

I'm old enough to remember when Apple at least tried to pretend their devices are practical.

Had an Eye Test today and ordered some new glasses
£512 Ouch!!!!

Life long spectacle wearer here, I buy glasses online at a pittance of the price of the high street places. There is a very high profit markup on glasses so paying more on the high street does not mean you are getting better glasses.

Also the 2 for 1 offers are usually a con too as the "free" pair doesn't include all the lenses options so in reality it still costs you more and so is not totally free.

As a life long Windows user (probably since before most of the posters on here were born), I have been moving over to Apple over the last few years. Samsung phones became Iphones, Yoga laptops became Macbooks and now the desktop has become a Mac Mini. I am under no illusion that there are pros and cons to each nor that Apple is incredibly overpriced for what it is. I can afford it and it is my choice. Apple's model is to suck you into the ecosystem and fleece you accordingly. However I like the easy seamless integration of all those devices.

I would fully expect that in 10 years I'll go full circle.

Some more filament, I thought I'd give this stuff a try. I did some TSA keys with the red and it seems fine so far!

I found there black to be the best I have ever used but I will say it is expensive so it I depends if it makes enough difference to your prints to warrant the extra outlay

Rigid ink is the best PLA I've used.

Having said that, I've just blown through 8 reels of Surreal PLA (search Amazon) and if the consistency is maintained, then I can see me switching, esp as its almost half the price of rigid ink. Surreal's PETG is pretty good too!
