this is the most devastating review of anything i've ever seen

Scary Whitta @garywhitta· 1d:

Imagine if your printer was also your car. That's what owning a Tesla is like.

I bought a brother printer / copier / scanner about 15 years ago. Still going strong, I replaced the ink once.

I bought it for $99.99

I still consider it the best money I've ever spent

Edit: $99 Canadian!

They are also indestructible. The brother monochrome that I have for my business is about 16 years old, last year a huge rock got thrown through our window and knocked it off the counter. Snapped the scanner cover back on, works like new.

Not really, and I genuinely wish I could say otherwise. It was some asshole kid who thought he got scammed on tattoo work because it costed more than $60.

The owner (big scary dude, the guy thay actually tattooed him) found out who he was (we had no idea who did it) and shook the shit out of his ass. Since then the kid has turned his life around and honestly is doing pretty good for himself. He still comes and gets work done every once in a while now.
