Kiwi on a rock

I was building my own mods and coils and juice before vaping took off.

It’s just a battery in a tube with a coil as a resistor that heats up with battery contact and you squirt juice on it.

Even if they banned vapes tomorrow, I’d still vape.

The only way they could stop me is if I couldn’t buy nicotine solution.

But I’d still probably vape non nicotine stuff for a while. It really is the act that’s the most addictive part. Like I think someone could placebo me with switching my juice with no nicotine.

Everytime I make a new batch of juice I put less nicotine in it. I’m probably at like 8% of the nicotine I use to put in it after all these years.

Because HOAs are not bad if ran correctly.

The problem is when someone’s freedom infringes on another’s.

Can a neighbor resurrect a 15ft tall obscene statue in their yard?

Land of the free says yes. But every neighbor is going to hate it.

With an HOA you don’t have to worry about it because the HOA will not allow it. You are protected from your neighbor’s choices that could make your property less appealing.

I have a s25+ and I almost always type with one hand. I am faster typing with two thumbs, but it’s not easier, just faster.

You can double tap shift to turn on caps lock on your phone

Viva Pinata - More Trouble In Paradise

Yeah you know how bad it would be if you had to shift your whole body on a horse to adjust the aim of the tip of the lance 10ft away?

They start high and then get cheaper. You are basically paying to reserve the seat. The price will fall until it hits someone’s price range.

It you wanted to wait until the game starts you can buy significantly cheaper tickets. But if you want a certain designated seat and to get there early then you have to pay for that.

Not saying it’s a good way to do it. But this does give the person that’s willing to pay more the rights to the seat vs something like a first come first serve system. In those, the scalpers buy them up and resale. Harder to scalp the overpriced tickets because the scalpers have to continuously follow the price and gamble, not just buy them for their “lowest price” at a certain time.

It was 12% abv 24 ounces.

A standard beer is ~5% 12 ounces.

~2.5× stronger 2× the amount

Chugging 5 beers at once will get most people feeling quite buzzed.

Gold would be given in troy ounces

Imagine one of the top 500 companies in an economy being a company where it’s sole job is to help people pay taxes.

Depends how you define temperature.

“There’s no such thing as cold”

Something at absolute zero would have zero heat.

If you define temperature as heat then it wouldn’t have heat or temperature.

Kind of similar to trying to measure nothing with a ruler. It says 0. There is no length, but is 0mm still a “measurement”?

Your screen on your phone is RGB. Red Green Blue pixels. There is no yellow light ever being sent to your eyes. So if you were to look at a yellow square on your phone the pixels are RGB in a mix convincing your brain it is yellow.

So when you get a blue dress with warm yellow light, the pixels on your phone tries to convey that bit of yellow

Different devices will show it more or less.

If you printed out the picture there would be no illusion.

I’ll never forget trying to read Redwall as a child and trying to remember what character was what animal. I had to write down a cheat sheet.

How do you read?

I have aphantasia and I have to subvocalize each word that I want to read.

Edit: Wait, subvocalize is different than inner speech is what I just read. I have to have my inner voice speak the word.

Memory or recall of facts. No.

Memory or recall of life experiences. Yes.

From my understanding people can play a “movie” of something like their last birthday party. See who was there, what they were wearing, etc.

Unless I make note of something I’m not going to remember it. I can “subconsciously” make a note of something and recall it but I cannot re

But other than a list of facts I have about my last birthday party, I cannot recall or experience it again.

As for reading. There’s no difference between me reading a biology textbook or a romance novel. I read, soak up knowledge, critically think, and remember.

I have to subvocalize to read. I’m curious on why you assumed we had to read outloud. I don’t know how other aphants read.

Edit: Wait, subvocalize is different than inner speech is what I just read. I have to have my inner voice speak the word.

Apparently dreams aren’t necessarily affected by aphantasia.

I feel like when I do have dreams they are extremely vivid and real because I am seeing my thoughts which isn’t normal.

Yeah took me 36 years.

It takes actually knowing that people actually see images to know that you cannot do that.

Counting sheep never made true sense to me. How is keeping a tally of “imaginary” sheep jumping over an “imaginary” fence supposed to help me fall asleep?

Makes sense when you realize people do it to stop their brains from randomly sending themselves other imaginary that’s going to keep them up. It’s like choosing to turn on the TV to something you could fall asleep to is my understanding.
