I’m still hooked on nicotine. These days I mix my own juice, use refillable pods that last me a good month with two rechargeable batteries that I swap between. It’s very cheap when one does it this way. Quitting is obviously the best way to go, and believe me I’ve tried, but I keep coming back.
I’ve given up opiates, coke, and weed. But dropping nicotine is a real bitch.
Every. Fucking. Night. (I work 3rd shift)
It’s not very active, but still has good content.
Audition was one of the only films I had to stop watching part way through. I eventually revisited it, but damn it was fucked up.
Bonus Korean horror:
M4V for the win.
I’m with in you in spirit, but then I’d have to live with consequential stink of my own actions.
So around Friday of last week, my ground level apartment started to have a weird, foul, smell. It got worse and worse, until Monday morning, when my toilet stopped flushing and the drains took forever to clear.
By then the smell was horrid, like a mixture of skunk, piss, and decay. Thankfully for me, my toilet suddenly started working for a couple of hours Monday night, but then stopped working by Tuesday morning. Around 3pm on Tuesday, they finished repairing the sewage pipe, but the smell lingers on.
This also happened maybe 6-8 months ago, and it took 7-10 days for the smell to finally dissipate. I expect it will take that long this time as well.
Judging by the notice left on all of our doors, that threatened to charge the person or persons responsible for flushing “flushable” wipes and cigarette butts (???) as well as dumping oil down the drain, our sewage pipe must have been completely blocked up. Without inspecting each unit, I doubt they will be able to assign blame, so whoever did it will likely get away with it.
I have nothing to worry about, as I never pour oil down the drain, I don’t smoke cigarettes, and I only ever use toilet paper in the bathroom. Whoever invented “flushable” wipes deserve a punch in the fucking face. Now my apartment smells absolutely terrible, and likely will continue to do so for a week or so.
For the love of god, do not dump oil down the drain! It’s so easy to pour it into a jar, then use a paper towel to wipe the rest of the oil out of the pot/pan. It makes actually cleaning the cookware that much easier as well.
In the case of capital punishment, I don’t think the intent is for them to actually use the death penalty on us, but to use it as a scare tactic to push us closer to full erasure from public life. To say “look what we could possibly do to you” sort of thing.
I’m not disagreeing, just pointing out that it is likely not as big of an issue as people make it.
This guy gets it!
A quick search suggests that a 2 minute charge will provide a few hours of use, while it takes about 2 hours to charge it fully. Whether that is acceptable or not is up to the user, of course. But to me that seems pretty reasonable. Though none of this really matters for me, as I don’t use mice.
Is there really a market for people who want the thinnest phone possible? I thought the days of the RAZR V3 and SLVR were of the past?
Judging by the way so many people drive, it might actually be necessary lol
I wonder how long it takes for the firmware update to take place. A few minutes? An hour?
I recognize the community I’m in rn. Just curious about how long it actually takes. I doubt it takes very long, or happens very often.
In a similar vein was the location of the charging port on the Apple mouse. Sure it seems asinine, but you only charge it like once a month, so it really isn’t an actual issue. It was just an excuse to hate on Apple products.
Think of it less as how this specific law will be used to target LGBTQ+ people directly, but as a stepping stone to push for more laws that expand the reach of it to eventually include LGBTQ+ people.
Some may argue that this is quite the leap, but there have been 598 pieces of legislation that have been proposed in 2025 alone, with (luckily) only 66 that have passed, that target LGBTQ+ people.
I am leery when it comes to “protect the children” legislation these days. There always seems to be an ulterior motive behind them.
Perhaps I should clarify “intended effect” as it being a thin veil. They can claim they are doing this to protect children from all predators, while simultaneously repeating the groomers line over and over again.
In my opinion, it seems a little too coincidental that they pass this law in a state that has a very hostile anti-LGBTQ+ stance, while also attempting to portray us as child predators.
It’s possible that I am drawing conclusions incorrectly, but I sincerely doubt it.
I have lowered the amount of nicotine in the juice I make. But getting down to 0 has been very difficult to do. Actually putting less in is not the hard part. Sticking with it is the hard part. It’s really easy to just make a new bottle at the level I had before that. Idk. It’s hard to explain.
