It’s been interesting watching Twitter after the press conference. All the reporters are talking about the Russia Hacks or the fainting episode or anything but the two solid minutes where Obama lambasted them for running with the hacked email narrative for 6 months then wondering why it was such a big deal.

Ah well, when an employee who’s not an employee is in a driverless car that’s not a driverless car, it’s easy to understand why they might treat a red light like it’s not a red light.

I’ll offer this ray of hope. Probably won’t get out of the greys, but it’s worth saying.

What is scary, here in SoCal there has been a rise of charter schools (public schools that are sort of like private) and what has many of the residents in love with them is that the teachers are not able to unionize. As a result the teachers work longer hours (they are already there when I am leaving for work and if I…

Oh yes, I got her a good one. A Sigelei 90W single 18650 with a baby SMOK tank so she can pocket it easy and it tastes great too so it’ll encourage her to use it. I vaped for a year or so long after quitting and still do sometimes but 0 nicotine and very seldom just because so she has a decent setup. I knew she…

Agreed. She has a vaper and does use it but not nearly as much as I’d like her too, it’s a great (Perfect) tool to help someone quit. It has to be (and I believe it is, I’ve tons tons of research) much better than the shit in real cigarettes. +1

Yes.

Nicotine addiction is roughly equivalent to caffeine addiction - nicotine itself isn’t especially harmful, it’s all the other chemicals (and the act of inhaling smoke itself) that cause most of the health problems. Switching to vaping is a very effective way for people who are addicted to nicotine to greatly reduce…

I hate the whole vaping culture but you can’t deny that vaping is PROBABLY MUCH cleaner than smoking. Smoking burns a lot of unwanted chemicals while vaping is usually done with a very pure solution of nicotine, flavors, and substrate. It’s not necessarily the nicotine that damages your lungs when smoking. It’s all…

Very seriously, get her to consider vaping instead. It’s much cheaper, tastes far better and - although it’s too early to be certain - the vast weight of current medical opinion is that it’s much healthier.

Vaping worked for me. 20 years and it is what finally did it.

So when are they going to regulate flavored Vodka? Come on your telling me Marshmellow Vodka isn’t aimed toward kids? Adults love flavor too which sadly is always left out of the for the children debates.

Fuck all y’all. Seriously.

You want to put a social stigma on vaping, tell everyone how uncool it is. I understand. You want to throw out impossible to satisfy research that requires some arbitrary length of time much longer than people have been researching vaping, and cite ridiculous biased articles that “prove” that…

WTF is this shit? NJOY products just straight suck. Point Blank. Their failure does not constitute failure of the overall market. The original marketplace where “vaping” started is doing just fine.

ESA’s entry in the contest:

For those wishing to experience coach class, simply purchase normal sneakers two sizes too small.

Please please Mark Cuban. I’ve never asked you for anything. This is all I want.

As a vaper who uses the designated smoking areas at work, I whole heartedly agree.

Is now a good time to talk about the economic, environmental, and health benefits of reducing our meat consumption?

It feels patently ridiculous to suggest that a person drop something they supposedly weren’t holding in the first place and then to use their inattention to that command as a reason to open fire
