I routinely buy printer toner and ink from companies that are not my printer's manufacturer. Where did you get the idea that it isn't possible to do so?

Not op, but the various "must use our genuine brand printer cartridges!" schemes that printer manufacturers have used over the past, oh, 2 decades might have something to do with it?
edit to clarify: I mean the cartridges with their own chips that HP et al. tried to make happen a while back
You absolutely can. Just google for your “<printer name> compatible cartridges” , and you’ll find tons that are cheaper and work just fine with your printer.
I would be cautious of saying "just fine"; third-party cartridges you buy from the first search result on Amazon are generally junk, and it takes quite a bit of research now to find one that will work acceptably.
i worked as an engineer in an industry that required on-site access to buildings all over manhattan, some residential. all you have to do is hit a couple random buttons on the intercom and 100% of the time one of them would just buzz the lock
This is pretty much all it takes in any western country. Some areas might require a little more effort but nothing substantial.
In fairness, the blame for this kind of enabling attitude is mostly attributable to me locking myself out of the building and having to buzz my long suffering neighbours at all kinds of ungodly hours. Proud moments.
Could you also lock out specific residents? Or get their daily home arrival patterns for the last few years? Or find unused flats to squat in? IoT still wins. :)
kind of. the constitution as a whole, and the amendments, don't give you the right to do anything. you have the right to do whatever you want whenever you want. the constitution tells the government what it can and can not stop you from doing.
I could have told you it was a weekday, because I was at work, but I'll take your word for it being specifically a Tuesday. I think 9/11 is a bit of a cheat, though, because it's world-wide referenced by it's date. How many people, a couple of generations on, would remember the precise dates of, say, JFK's assassination or the moon landing? (I know the second, but not the first, and I was a history major!)

The people who witnessed Pompeii in person probably remembers it pretty well. This is why I trust his recollection, even if Pliny wrote it down decades later.
It's also not unreasonable to assume he talked about it several times between the event and when it was written down, so that it was easy to remember the details.
show me an ad. fine. but don't track me and my browsing habits across domains and applications. that's disgusting. ads would be fine if they were static images and not bloated javascript spying devices.
