From flights to groceries, the surge in oil prices caused by the Middle East conflict will make everything expensive.

someone was saying about how expensives cars are to run? ..... well... it's been a week of finding out!

$1200 on Monday for tires for the 2019 Kona.

and today the 2012 Prius (262,000km) got her issues dealt with. Looks like the (original) radiator and water pump had some leaks which caused the "master-alarm" that forced us to take it in.

Final bill $2799. Parts and Labour were about 50/50.

So ya... $4000 in the span of 3 days is not fun. But it wasn't completely unexpected. Both cars are fully owned/bought new. So they continue to serve us well now and hopefully for a good bunch more years.

I do still need to get the Kona in for annual brake service.

*deep breath* not this month. 😭

#Inkjet #cartridges suck and should be banned! Finally got some more paper for my #printer today but then the #cyan cartridge runs out of #ink, so I put in a new cartridge and guess what? The new one doesn’t work at all despite the printer saying the cartridge is full of ink. Like, I tried everything to fix it including reinserting the cartridge, doing the #nozzle check, cleaning the heads, performing a head realignment, restarting the printer, updating the #firmware, printing a cyan purge test page, none of that worked. The last two options I can think of are
1. Try using an official #Epson cartridge, since we’ve been using aftermarket cartridges for a while since the official ones are way #overpriced, but the aftermarket ones have been working fine up until now and if it doesn’t work, then that’s money on an #expensive Epson cartridge wasted.
Or
2. Just get rid of this #capitalist cartridge printer and buy a #tank one, because I’m done with printer companies locking us into #proprietary cartridges. I wanna be able to use whatever ink we buy without having crappy #DRM. Plus this printer is now 10 years old anyways, it’s lasted surprisingly long and has outlasted very other printer we had, but this problem as well as the constant need to realign the heads to stop lines from going through the ink are signs it’s time to upgrade to a tank printer.

I hope one day the governments of the world ban inkjet cartridges, because they are horrible for the #environment and are just here to keep prices up.

Pics attached of the #nozzles in case anyone can see what’s gone wrong, but I highly doubt there is anything that can be seen.

I sold my #Lego nearly a decade ago. But #today I couldn't resist. The big set was on sale for only 10 euro. But... it has no Harry! That cannot be in #HarryPotter! So I bought another set as well.

I had #fun crafting this. I always like the playsets more than the collector sets, with their funny play gimmics. One time purchase or a fallback into an #expensive #hobby? We'll see!
