    Deeming Regulations have been released!!!!

    Ha! Wait 'til you read it. I have a PACER account so I've just downloaded it. I'm going to try to attach it. Let's see if it works.

    Deeming Regulations have been released!!!!

    I don't agree with your definition of liberty nor with your attempt to differentiate it from freedom. Others have tried to draw a fine rhetorical line between the two, but I find those attempts to be largely concocted and unpersuasive. The Founders pledged their lives, their fortunes and their...

    Deeming Regulations have been released!!!!

    The FDA's reply brief is due today. I believe it's limited to 25 pages. That will probably be the end of the briefing. Oral argument is scheduled for Oct. 19, iirc.

    thick 1Amp micro usb 5-6 foot cable, ok?

    "Shortens"--i.e., reduces the number of times you can charge the batteries before they fail. Of course, you can be as stubborn as you like. Maybe I'm overly cautious, but I'm just a bit averse to putting 60 amps of charging batteries within an inch of my face. But it would certainly be a bummer...

    We could call it Czechoslovakia.

    thick 1Amp micro usb 5-6 foot cable, ok?

    It might be simpler, more convenient and perhaps safer to get a charger and additional batteries.

    Freudian slip--and true.

    Deeming Regulations have been released!!!!

    Yes. Judicial review of agency rule making is different from most other civil suits. Think of it more like an appeal following a trial. In an appeal, all of the evidence has already been presented at trial and a decision has been rendered. On appeal, new evidence isn't allowed. The appeal is...

    Perhaps you could elaborate.

    Mouth to Lung Subvod Help

    Make the airflow opening as small as you like. That's not what causes batteries to overheat.

    Deeming Regulations have been released!!!!

    That depends. If the plaintiffs win, the FDA will move for a stay of execution while the case is pending on appeal. If that motion is granted, the FDA will continue enforcement. If it's denied, the FDA would not be able to enforce those provisions of the regulation which the judge found to be...

    Mouth to Lung Subvod Help

    What don't you like about it? Is the draw not tight enough? If it's like my Kanger Toptank Mini, it's a fairly loose draw even with just one hole open.

    Deeming Regulations have been released!!!!

    I don't think so. 95% probability that the judge will grant one of the motions, IMO. Then it's off to the court of appeals.

    Deeming Regulations have been released!!!!

    Yes, and it will focus on the FDA's touching concern for the cheeldreen, whose use of ENDS is [supposedly] increasing at an "alarming" rate. It almost brings me to tears just thinking about it. It's a winning tactic to portray your opposition as callously indifferent to the welfare of...

    I get that you don't like it, but what's "circular" about it?

    Greetings everyone! I'm old to smoking but new to vaping...

    I guess many if not most people have to summon up all kinds of will power and be highly motivated to quit smoking. However, I was a PAD smoker for 45 years and, having tried all the usual cessation methods, was resigned to being a smoker until the day I died. And then the city I live in passed...

    Ace of Wands (Greetings from Russia!)

    So glad you're here! Your English is exceptional. As I'm not at all familiar with tarot cards, you inspired me to read up on the Ace of Wands. It seems that, among other things, it predicts starting something new and a "new, positive levels of health and vitality." Wow, that seems quite appropriate!

    None of this explains why he can't buy batteries from China and sell them in his shop. The batteries are made in China and are being sold all over the US. Retailers buy and resell vast quantities of goods from China. What does this have to do with avoiding cigarette taxes or selling controlled...

    Let We can only hope the judge isn't similarly afflicted.
