is nearly full of magenta ink. And it's a high capacity one as well. And
yes, I know that these Chinese copies only cost me about a quid apiece,
but
still, as I see it laying on the top of the pile of workshop detritus in
that bin, I still baulk at all that precious ink going to waste ... :-\

I have a collection of blunt syringes that came with various refill
kits. You could impale the defective cartridge, suck out the ink, and
inject it into a different cartridge.

Some things are best done outdoors. I've learned to refill toner
carts outside after a few messy toner spills. I've also learned not
to clean inkjet printers on my desk as the waste ink sponge is
invariably going to dump a load of ink on something important. I
suppose that refilling carts with a syringe should also be done
outdoors, but I've been fairly successful doing those on my office
desk (covered with newspapers) and wearing rubber gloves. Take your
chances, or go outdoors.

Also, drilling into a nearly full ink cartridge might require a little
added protection.

Also, if you spill some ink on your t-shirt, just keep going:

I would have checked for a short again, chances are the short is back. It may be intermittent so some DC has heated something and cleared it but has returned after a while or under some mechanical stress.

Bloody hell ! What goes around, comes around, as they say ... So, is
tie-dying back in ? I was wearing stuff like that when I was a long-haired
spotty-faced yoof about 45 years ago.

On the same theme, a friend's daughter commented that she thought I was
'cool' because I wear cargo shorts and a pair of Connies. How they think
they invented everything. I have been wearing canvas baseball boots in the
summer since I was about 8, long long before they got a trade name of
Converse All Stars. Back when I was a kid, they were cheap. At the start of
the school long summer break, my mum would go into Woollies and buy me a new
pair. They would survive wading through rivers, stamping on fires that we
started (!) getting covered in mud, cowshit and being washed in the old
twin-tub washing machine.

Now, they are a fashion statement, and cost a lot of money, but I still wear
them because they are practical, and comfortable ...

Well, where to you think all that recycled inkjet ink goes after the
recycler is done salvaging the carts? We can't let all that expensive
ink go to waste.

I hate to tell you this, but many of the 1960's former hippies, that
wore tie die in the 1960's, still wear tie-dye today. One of my
friends is a 55 year old conservative engineer. He wears a suit and
tie to work, but when hanging around the house or yard, it's head to
toe tie dye. He's not the only one. When confronted with the obvious
question of "why", he said that it attracts the babes. (Note: His
wife didn't hear that). I've often suspected that tie-dye was the
result of a failed attempt to dye clothes with some atrocious solid
color, but was too stoned to do it correctly.

On the same theme, a friend's daughter commented that she thought I was
'cool' because I wear cargo shorts and a pair of Connies. How they think

Incidentally, I have a pair of black Converse All Stars that I wear
only when performing a burglary or break in. However, some black
electrical tape to cover the white edge of the sole is necessary.

Unfortunate, I have a problem. I usually replace shoes before they
are totally worn out, and save the old shoes. After about 40 years,
this is the result.

Note the Converse All Stars on the far right. After I took the
picture, I found 6 more pairs of random shoes in the office and
vehicle.

I hate to break this to you, but there are some basic psychology
involved here. Please stop growing up at an age they feel
comfortable. I think I stopped at about age 20, when I was stomping
around in pseudo military khaki. I know others that stopped growing
at other times in their lives, where their favored fashion preferences
are ossified in place forever.

It does take some time to find the right time to stop growing, which
allows teenagers to shop for a compatible lifestyle and its lifestyle
associated fashions. The garment industry knows how this works and
takes full advantage of the situation by offering teenagers tempting
choices. That usually means that fashions worn by whatever social
groups is currently the "outsiders". For example, when small time
criminals and losers were making the headlines, the fashion industry
began offering badly fitting "chino" pants that looked exactly what
they were wearing when released from jail. When the gay community
decided that it would be handy to color code their members and
selected purple and pink clothes as their identifiable trademark
fashion, it was quickly offered as the latest in fashions. Of course,
the ultimate identity symbol are glue jeans, which are most often worn
by those who have never worked a day in their lives.

Anyway, I hope this explains your addiction to strange shoes and
pants. It's probably not worth the effort changing fashions at this
point in your life, mostly because it will probably also require a
lifestyle change. The last time that was attempted en masse was with
the 1950's Beatniks, where perfectly normal people donned the gray
sweat shirt, jeans, and sandals uniform, while loudly announcing that
they were "dropping out", often to the accompaniment of Alan Ginsberg
poetry. Incidentally, that's where I got my start in writing poetry.
However, I don't think "dropping out" will work today. Keep the cargo
shorts. (I'm wearing cargo pants today, mostly because the pockets
fit my 7" tablet).

In one of the "Reality-tv" shows I heard a border control officer
comment on immigrants wearing sneakers with reflective bands on: "I
love when they do that". You could see them half a mile away in pich
dark reflecting the searchlights.
I understand the need of preventing the lowering of intelligense level
by people like that.

I use a Batman style utility belt. I have fake leather belt clip
holders for my cell phone, smartphone, and MinMaglite. The ultimate
in nerd fashion attire.

All of my All Stars are tall ankle boots. I usually buy them when I am your
