There is a lot of misinformation dominating the discussion around vaping. For the record, I neither vape nor do I sell them.

I don’t know if you work involves nicotine or you’re just an extreme Libertarian, but you’re clogging up this conversation with a lot of misinformation and disingenuous arguments.

And while there’s nothing particularly spectacular to glean from the handful of currently readable PDFs, that didn’t stop hardcore Nintendo fans from going wild with predictions for what this apparent controller could be.

Exactly. Go figure that directors with something unique to say don’t really care for copy-n-paste, empty (albeit entertaining) spectacles at which the industry can’t seem to stop throwing all the money and schedule blocks they have available.

Why is it "shocking" that Altria wanted a stake in Juul? It would be more shocking if they didn't.

This one is hooked up to my backup/arcade computer, but modern Tanksticks can also hook up to a Raspberry Pi if you don’t want to have a bulky computer to deal with. I…
