AFAIAA it's like a sturdier/more fabricky-clothy paper than just stuff coming out of the printer so it probably has some structural soundness but yeah, like picture it starts raining on you and the dress just disintegrates like the bad generic brand paper towel in a Bounty commercial

I'm pretty sure nobody expected more from a dress that costs a dollar twenty five.

A dollar used to be worth something,

I live in Canada so I have no idea what that's like.

I'm going to assume the people who buy them don't do so for wearing them, though.

Of course it's still a pretty horrid material so it was uncomfortable to wear, didn't really form well over a person and the inks would stain your skin.


What kind of ink was used? :catdrugs:

As for :catdrugs:
Doubt it was anything fancier than the typical methods used to print patterns on fabrics at the time. There was a bit of a pipe-dream going around where you'd buy rolls of paper and cut out your clothes.
Surprisingly they could actually be washed, but that also washed off the protective flame coating, so I suspect only the cheaper versions or something that was made with a blend of material that didn't bond well to ink were the ones that were prone to leaving marks on things.

I was sure, I just liked the idea of a ring of ebay sellers snatching up paper dresses to get high. Sounds like a really good short story, to be honest.

Don't worry. I'll call his mum.

She'd probably get really angry at you for misgendering me and hang up :3:

Why can’t these keyboards work without drivers by following the USB HID specification?

Or do they, just without some features?

The SteelSeries Merc keyboards have the little console off to the side bound to random keys for some reason. I guess as an incentive to get you to install their driver suite so you also have to install their proprietary software that lets you bind whatever you want to the keys? :shrug:

They're not bound to random keys. If you don't have the driver software, they act like the regular keys. It's pretty useful because some games don't let you rebind keys (like Lost Planet), so you can get around that. The software also changes configs automatically when the game starts. I really like this keyboard, and I'm going to be disappointed when it dies.

The one I had treated everything in the console like I was holding alt+some random key if the drivers weren't loaded. This was back in like 2007 tho.

How self-centered do you have to be to think we'd be mentioning you in any way?

What?

I mean; if you actually want an answer, probably the fact that I was directly quoted. The guy even apologized for what he said so I have no clue what you're so angry about????
