Is there any indication they’re doing an entire pod a day? Looks to me like a teeny tiny device with sky-high nicotine levels, as a trade-off for a smaller device. I would think the idea would be to use it much less frequently.

It leaves open the possibility of smokers who want to switch to vaping, i.e., the best rationale for vaping.

Okay, I’m getting off the Internet for the day. ;)

Tolerating “intolerant” speech and “tolerating” intolerant action are not the same thing. You can BE a Nazi all you want; try following their actions and we have jail for that. The same could be said for most religions, which if you delve deeply enough, all have their share of horrific ideas.

Nice looking vehicle. I’ll never understand how Americans have been persuaded to buy fleets of wasteful, silly looking mini-trucks because they’re somehow “cooler” than wagons or minivans that work better as actual vehicles.

I think they should be release(able), not released as a matter of course. If there is no controversy, family members of everyone involved don’t need the real-life killing of a human simply posted somewhere for the public to gawp at.

This is all good discussion, but every time I see the angle of “The response to the recent tragedy doesn’t sufficiently address x population’s concerns on a related problem as a distinct issue,” I wonder if we aren’t shooting ourselves in the foot by not emphasizing the OVERLAPPING American cultural malfunctions like…

So ... we should be intolerant of the intolerant in order to be tolerant?

Ooh. Do you think that’s true? Because it isn’t. People were given jury trials and punished for things like mass murder. Not for their political beliefs.

She’s terrible, her ideas are terrible, and this is a terrible response.

“wishful thinking, or some denial of some horrible reality”

The implications are clear. Neanderthals were smarter, sturdier, better humans. Sapiens were the sneaking, conspiratorial, breed-you-out-existence colonizers. They probably offered the Neanderthals sticks and rocks coated with their weird STDs to which the poor, sweet Neanders had no resistance and offered them a sack…

Erm. “Roy”Batty. Mischevious keyboard.

I’m with Rutger, who absolutely owns the original film with his smashing performance. The new one looks okay, but the characters and plot are duller than dishwater, the final sequence goes on forever, and Ford’s presence seems ill-considered and forced. The first one wasn’t as slick, maybe, but it carried off a darker…

This is a fine piece of work. I hope it gets out there and does some public good. Well done.

Good lord. Literally one thinks the rat hopped in the shower with a loofa and some conditioner to “take a shower” like a person, in the way a person would do that, for the reasons a person would. It’s trying to get the soap off and in the process making deft, familiar motions with its paws. And, probably, getting…

Yes, enough already with this crap. Whether it’s a factory or a stadium

Kill All Others was special. The extrapolation of present-world problems was as strong as any dystopian sci-fi, but it went further with the creepy, crazy way it unfolded. Our house thought it was more powerful than Black Mirror’s precise, inexorable approach can be sometimes. The idea that the world has actually gone…

You know what kicks up a lot of space dust?

Seems like a win/win. “Hard-working” rich doofuses decide the ultimate in exclusivity is untreated “raw” water. People without those hard-worker trust fund genes bottle their random sweat / ground / pee / irradiated water and sell it to them at god-tier pricing.
