    Coronavirus and ordering from China

    Right now it's very, very hard to say with certainty what the mortality rate is. IF the current numbers hold, and I doubt the Chinese have inflated the number if deaths, a 5 fold increase still leaves you with something well above seasonal flu. Even at 10 fold, and the deaths to date are...

    Coronavirus and ordering from China

    There is no evidence whatsoever that this was made in a biolab. If it was, they did a terrible job, as killing a bunch of old already sick people isn’t exactly a weapon that will win a war.

    Coronavirus and ordering from China

    The groups most susceptible and most likely to have higher complication rates isn’t entirely clear. Sure, underlying health matters, but the 34 year old Dr Li who got busted by the police for spreading rumors died from it. To date the mortality rate appears to be 2.4-2.7 percent. That makes it...

    I wouldn’t have any idea how they felt. I use Raid.

    There Can Be Only One!

    I'd be vaping on my Armageddon and Venna laughing as I watch them on my concealed video cameras as they try to get through the blast doors.

    Mod Recommendations Please!

    I would strike anything Smok off your list. Really, if you’re concerned about failure rates that stuff sets the standard for how quickly can a mod break. You’re also mixing regular mod and tank systems with squonk systems. I love squonks, but you should read up on them in the Liquid APV...

    Is that one of those spiders the size of a dinner plate? Me, I wouldn’t be video taping it, I’d be firing a 12 gauge from a window at it.

    Bargain Bin Treasures!

    Some medium sandpaper to rough up the surface, working from say 320 grit down to 800-1000. The I switched to micro mesh pads I got on Amazon and just worked through th pads until reaching the 8000-12000 buffing pads. It essentially the same as polishing stabwood but requires less effort.

    This is a placeholder post. It’s now 6:09 PM and I want to see how far behind I am by tomorrow around 8 AM. I need an objective scientific explanation for how far behind I feel each morning. Charlie enjoy your first night home and hopefully a good night’s sleep. To all, a Happy Valentines Day...

    Samsung cease and desist order!

    Sony did the same a few years ago. Hasn't affected availability. All they can hope to do is shift liability to the distributors who sell them for "unintended uses".

    Bargain Bin Treasures!

    It’s a nice little squonk. There are still places selling it for the original retail price so it’s definitely a good deal. IMO the resin really comes alive if you polish it up. Fortunately resin is easy to polish so a 20 minute investment of time gives you something pretty striking.

    Bargain Bin Treasures!

    Well worth it. I picked one up elsewhere on some clearance for $6.50. Nice little squonk and if you like you can easily polish up the resin for a real high glass look.

    Maybe Dennis just shouldered Derrick out of the way? Or maybe they had a fight and broke up right before Valentines Day so you ended up with the two separately. Now all you need is Donna to head into the mix for an interesting threesome.

    Breaking In A New Battery

    I have batteries that are over three years old that still hold a full charge. But I have a lot of batteries so it’s not the same ones being recharged every day and reused. The average charge cycle on Li batteries is supposedly 300 charges. I believe it varies and is likely higher, but not by a...
