Bright light in a drunk’s face seems like a great way to get socked in the mouth.

Flashlight on your phone, buddy.

Cool, thanks. $5 -$6 / month is cheap.

This is pretty complicated, I think much more so than what you’ve said reflects.

First, if you can stop DO IT NOW. Any benefit you think you’re getting is a rationalized illusion and the risks FAR outweigh any possible benefits. It is irrational, foolish, and truly dangerous to continue smoking, especially if you can stop. If you need to remind yourself of the downsides and risks of tobacco use google some images and read some first hand accounts. It is NOT a joke that tobacco KILLS. STOP playing Russian roulette if you can.

I smoked and/or chewed tobacco for most of my adult life and feel fortunate that I was able to quit a little over 10 years ago. It was not easy for me to quit. I had tried to quit many times over the years. I took a class about quitting and finally did. I hope for good.

I do believe that some people are more affected and/or addicted to nicotine than others. I had girlfriends that would smoke at the bar and nowhere else, which really pissed me off because I COULD NOT do that. BUT, there is no good understanding about this. Maybe these people are not far enough into the habit to be addicted. It seems unclear if some are really resistant to nicotine addiction and I have NO doubt that it is not worth trying to find out.

I’ll stop here. But anyone can feel free to ask questions.

Apparently knee chains were a thing.

I’ll bite. What is frugal Usenet?

I’ve always been pretty bad at Tetris. This video was very engaging and entertaining. It tells a great story.

I love this.

You are good at finding videos that fit the situation.

I have a BUSY GODDAM SCHEDULE, Sarah!

Mmmm…red…

Pretty good. I’m sure it works.

I use in wall wiring for stuff. It could make a great handle here too.

I had coworker get breast reconstruction after a mastectomy. They made a nipple for her, I think from skin.

Boycott!

Much worse than we thought. How shocking. /s

My point is there are several similar products for much cheaper.

The concept is simple enough that it should not be expensive to implement.

Seems like a great idea but those prices are too damn high.

This whole thing is confusing to me.

For me, gen X, growing up it was this:
Sweatshirt: Non-hooded OR hooded and shirt shaped with NO zipper but made of material that is “fleece”-like on one side and smooth-ish on the other.

Jacket: zippered thing, long sleeves, usually made of plastic or nylon but the purpose was to wear OVER your clothes as a windbreaker and/or to keep you warm.

Hoodies did not exist. Things like a sweatshirt, jacket, coat or shirt might have a hood.

Now, I do not know what the fuck to call shit.

That is a fucking jirt. Shirtet. Sweatjack. Hoodet. Sweatie. Jackie.

This kinda rocks my world. I never thought of it being based on the material, no wonder I’ve always found the whole hoodie / sweatshirt / sweater / jacket think confusing.

Hmmm…still not sure it makes sense to me…

I was not just making a joke, amigo. I am old enough that I used this stuff back in the day. I graduated from dialing into BBSes on my Commode 64 to this stuff. And I am amazed and happy that it is still around.
