An unofficial chapter of the popular Dull Men's Club.

https://dullmensclub.com/

1. Relevant commentary on your own dull life. Posts should be about your own dull, lived experience. This is our most important rule. Direct questions, random thoughts, comment baiting, advice seeking, many uses of "discuss" rarely comply with this rule.

2. Original, Fresh, Meaningful Content.

3. Avoid repetitive topics.

4. This is not a search engine
Use a search engine, a tradesperson, Reddit, friends, a specialist Facebook group, apps, Wikipedia, an AI chat, a reverse image search etc. to answer simple questions or identify objects. Also see rule 1, “comment baiting”.

There are a number of content specific communities with subject matter experts who can help you.

Some other communities to consider before posting:

5. Keep it dull. If it puts us to sleep, it’s on the right track. Examples of likely not dull: jokes, gross stuff (including toes), politics, religion, royalty, illness or injury, killing things for fun, or promotional content. Feel free to post these elsewhere.

6. No hate speech, sexism, or bullying No sexism, hate speech, degrading or excessively foul language, or other harmful language. No othering or dehumanizing of anyone or negativity towards any gender identity.

7. Proofread before posting. Use good grammar and punctuation. Avoid useless phrases. Some examples: - starting a post with "So" - starting a post with pointless phrases, like "I hope this is allowed" or “this is my first post” Only share good quality, cropped images. Do not share screenshots of images; share the original image.

It feels surreal just printing stuff without guilt or drama. 10/10 highly recommend.

Brother is the way to go. They just work.

Careful, they used to, older models are still primo, but don't get a new one, company decided they would go full ink monopoly, anti repair and everything

well this is just great, literally yesterday I upgraded to a new Brother printer after 14 years with my old HP laser printer. I may have to consider returning but damn I'm so happy finally having automatic duplex printing and scanning. Honestly the amount they are pushing a subscription toner service had me kinda skeptical already, just seemed really weird from a company everyone has been touting as so consumer friendly

Yeah printer at work suddenly decided it would not work unless there was oem brother cartridge in it. It was printing fine with third party ink the day before.

I recommended Brother to everyone and now BAM ! No more good company out there.

Oh no, just got one similar to OP’s but the MFC series with extra copy/scan features after a great experience with the old equivalent Brother model I had for about 20 years with near zero problems!

I realized the new model was surprisingly cheap and with features I always wanted on the old one (which was now starting to show its age in a few ways), so I made the upgrade. Hope I won’t regret it.

Hell yeah Brother!
