Totally wrong. Most juice comes in squeeze plastic bottles with a little nipple for filling a refillable vape.
When I was lowering my dose I bought 120ml of my favorite flavors and diluted it down with PG and VG off the shelf.
Traditionally it's really just PG (propylene glycol), VG (vegetable glycerin), flavor agents, and nicotine/nicotine salts. Nicotine itself you can buy in gallon form, suspended in PG or VG, at a dilution of 100mg/ml. Unsure on nicotine salts. But just reducing it with PG, VG, or both, is no less safe than the vape itself.
The Internet is a perfect example of why we can't have nice things, or rather, why anarchy could never work.
That's what the Internet used to be, and what it largely is. And it worked quite well, until people realized the Internet could be monetized beyond just being an extension of your brand.
Now it's quite obvious that regulation is necessary. People are idiots and they can't be trusted with a dopamine-injection-button run by greedy corporations. That gives those companies really unprecedented power.
Unless the saga continues, they didn't "hide" the competition, they paywalled their access.
There's nothing wrong, per se, with charging access to the API. Where they went wrong was setting an exorbitant price. That was clearly anti-competitive. They knew the pricing they set wouldn't be sustainable to any third party developers. Then he started shit talking the Apollo developer...
Early days of television was the wild west. They didn't know what to do so they basically took stage and radio concepts and adapted them to TV. That's why so much early TV was vaudeville-esque variety shows.
But they didn't even have a means to record if they wanted to. Everything was live. Not even a delay.
There was a podcast episode about this recently, and Howdy Doody...I think it was 99PI.
The entire point of third parties in US presidential elections, right now, is to syphon votes away from the main parties. They are otherwise entirely useless.
They need more office down ballot....way down ballot...to start making any sort of progress towards the possibility of ever winning a presidential election.
It's not about "sending a message". Nobody is listening there. You want to send a message, put it in a letter or a picket sign. Not a ballot box.
92 Perot had enough votes to allow Clinton to win Ohio, California, Pennsylvania, and likely several others, had the majority of his voters gone to the more closely aligned GHWB.
If you consider yourself conservative, Perot is likely the reason Clinton won the electoral college in a landslide, while he himself received exactly 0 EC votes.
Progressive people, especially those concerned about the environment, can say the same for Nader in 2000, and only have to look at Florida.
I'm the last stop for my help desk and I legit feel like Dr House some days.
Yeah. Users lie. They also misremember or straight up don't notice.
To be fair tho, some of L1 can't write for shit, and some of L1 likes going well beyond the scope of the KB and breaks more stuff in the process. Those guys usually make good L2 since they are proactive and accept feedback, they just lack discretion.
I used to work in tech support for a pharmacy chain.
One day I ask the pharmacist to unplug for 10 seconds. He tells me he doesn't know how to count to 10, just 30. Sometimes he has to count to 60, or 90, or even 180...but he doesn't. He just counts to 30 until it looks good.
In the US, most retail pharmacists do little compounding. They mostly check for drug interactions (since most prescribers don't talk to each other unless you're a patient of a holistic care team) and make sure the techs and the software don't screw up.
The joke is that most pills are dispensed in multiples of 30.
You're jumping to conclusions. How many of those people were dropping off their and their spouses (or adult children, or whathaveyou) ballots? Is it really necessary for all of them to not only go to the drop box, but also get out of the car and place it into the slot themselves? Is that what's keeping us from freedom?
The instance is older than you know. I prefer counting from the emergence of one integral anomaly to the emergence of the next, in which case this is the sixth version.
I imagine a big draw is Stern and probably sports radio.
Sirius XM has a long list of sports-talk and play-by-play stations. And the "listen to sports" and "browses Lemmy" venn diagram is, in fact, two entirely isolated circles.
I don't care much for sports but in my market I think all the sports stations are old AM radio. Satellite adds a ton of fidelity and may not have the regional blackouts TV has (that I don't know about).
Surprise sprays tend to happen when your staring over the stradle-style bidet, trying to figure out how the hell to work it.
Met a new friend and his wife once. Had no idea what it was. Touched a knob and the ceiling got wet.
The guy got me set up with a nice job in what ended up being a lucrative career.
They got divorced a few years later. Husband moved out west with a friend's girlfriend. Said friend ended up marrying the wife. She's a slut, and they're going through a divorce now.
Wasn't that a bit in a movie? Maybe the one where the family got locked in a nuclear bunker and thought the apocalypse happened? The dad comes out and says something like "look son! A <Spanish word for the color "black">"?
Or maybe it was the other way. Yeah...I think it was the adult-child, who lived his whole life in the bunker, that said that.
If any time traveler comes to 2024, it's either great because there's science in the future, or it's terrible, because there's something about to happen that's worth seeing first-hand.
I mean, he's not wrong, he's just an asshole. By most historians accounts, Fat Man and Little Boy caused less death than an actual war with Japan would have.
They were also retaliatory strikes after a direct attack on an American base, at the tail end of a global conflict, and we just got a new toy. The bomb was basically telling Japan to fuck off with their bullshit, and it did a pretty good job of it.
That doesn't make it the right answer, per se. Glassing the strip probably would net less death and destruction than continuing the genocide or especially allowing it to escalate more. I still have a hard time calling that "the good choice"
And what happens after the glass hardens? We all gonna be honky dory or is somebody else gonna star lobbing nukes?
Ahh. My dad was briefly in the trade in the 70s/80s and still has the tools (kicker included) from the era.
Watched him install a carpet once as a kid (as DIY, not a job...he had long moved on since then) and I couldn't believe people could put that much trauma on their knees day in/day out for decades. Then a few years ago he installed another and just decided to rent the damn power stretcher. World of difference, he said.
I would argue domestic production of oil is a generally good thing, or at least neutral/balanced thing.
Yeah, we need to get away from oil, and we need more green generation, but that takes a long time. There's a quick win in producing more domestically, by not having to import oil from halfway across the world, and also reducing foreign dependence for energy.
Problem is, last I heard, we are exporting most domestic oil now.
Not all NPRs. Boston Public Radio, or at least Jim and Marjorie, the only time I ever heard them talking about antivaxers was when Art Caplan (a weekly regular..."American ethicist and professor of bioethics at New York University Grossman School of Medicine" per his Wikipedia) was tearing apart most of what they say.
But that's more like a talk news show. You kind of expect a little bit less neutrality in that.
Art Caplan was also recently on an episode of Nova talking about ethics in modern medicine. Think it was actually about vaccination (may have been designer babies).
Oil prices should already be higher as it is. It costs roughly $4.40 just to recapture the CO2 that gets emitted from 1 gallon of gas. Gas should be closer to $10/gal (to capture the carbon emitted, and to pay for renewable subsidies, and the market price of oil itself).
But who would that hit? All of the expenses of higher fuel get sent down the consumer in the end, who is already getting squeezed for every cent.
That's why I didn't mention oil price at all. That's a very delicate issue all of its own. How do we severe our dependence on fossil fuels entirely, while also not destroying the economy? Not just the fatcats but every day folk too. The people with gas cars, and stoves, and clothes dryers, and hot water, and heat, that all would need to be retrofitted to electric. That's a huge expense. I don't think most Americans are in a place to buy a new car, today, because gas is suddenly $10/gal...and even less so because in this universe, ICE cars are entirely useless so there's no secondary market and no trade-in value. Let alone replace their appliances and HVAC.
We have to have more carrots for renewables and more sticks for fossil fuels...but too many sticks will collapse the whole damn thing. Not to mention carrots for public transit and walkable/bikable communities and everything else we should have in "the best and most advanced country in the world". We're a disgrace. We're not even the best and most advanced country in America. God damn koolaid turned sour.
Also keep in mind that personal use of fossil fuels isn't even one of the biggest sources of GHGs. That's still behind commercial transport/shipping and animal agriculture. It needs to be reigned in, but there are far bigger fish to fry.
That's why I focussed more on the drawbacks of international transport of oil. It takes energy and GHG emissions to get oil across the world. And there's a substantial risk to an environmental disaster along the way. The closer it is, the lesser risk of environmental disaster.
The Chinese government is heavily subsidizing the costs of those vehicles, both directly and through their labor practices. By exporting them to the US at a price-point that includes Chinese subsidies, it is an economic attack on our automotive industry. The Chinese government is basically paying half the cost of the car and the net effect would be to destabilize our domestic auto industry.
Put another way, it is not possible to have a car, made with fair labor practices, at that price, without direct government subsidies.
For the administration to not levy a tariff is essentially akin to bending over and taking their economic offense up the ass.
I know most people that were on reddit at the time are fully aware of this and won't be surprised but don't dismiss the findings out of hand. It's important that studies are being conducted and the fact that the finding match our lived experience is still noteworthy.
I really wonder if the nouveau rich tech startup boys look around and realize that their greed is directly responsible for the 2016 election and by extension, the state of US domestic politics today, and feel even a tiny bit of guilt over it.
See, I don't think that. I think they are power hungry, sure. But I don't think they ever realized the power that their product would grant them. It's totally unprecedented. They get right into our brain and tickle our dopamine receptors while they mess with everything else.
I don't think they expected or were prepared to yield that type of power, at all. I really feel like Zuck et al accidentally stumbled into being a supervillain. Like some sick Mr. Bean skit.
