I have to call you out on that a bit. Yes, there are some drugs that aren't totally safe but we only use them if it's a last resort.

If you want to know the truth about a drug, ask a nurse. We know everything.
I've been on Citalopram (Celexa) for almost 20 years. Buspar didn't work for me. Guess we're all different.

Yeah the ole sheeple following the other sheeple and all jumping off the cliff together syndrome.
But there are positive aspects to their behavior, too. One example is that my seeming inability to read fiction isolates me from a lot of discussion and understanding of references in non-fiction, song lyrics and comedy, but (ETA: the public's love of fiction) benefits me indirectly through it's positive influence on society and individuals. A lot of wisdom, tolerance, appreciation for creativity and knowledge is spread via people's love of fiction, with many books having huge numbers of fans.

I do enjoy fiction in some of it's forms, just not novels, I guess. I enjoy it in song lyrics and jokes, just not so much the references to fiction in them. I could probably think of some other examples.

That's why I'm a programmer. I can secretly yell and cuss at the screen all I want and it never gets angry or upset. lol

    yeah, I pull my hair out too while programming sometimes. It's a wonder I am not bald yet.... Some of those algorithms tend to do that to me :) I love programming --- you are my type for sure :)

    lol! I keep my hair in a pony tail now (what's left of it) It's a great feeling when something finally works!!! I mostly do database stuff now. But it's fun too. Love going to the SQL Saturdays. People from all over the world.

    Background, also SSRS reports, SSIS, data integration stuff. I write tons of queries, some absolutely huge, for state reporting. Lots of joins, unions, temp tables, aliases, etc. I use to do the web design with Visual Studio. That was fun. But, I like what I do now too. It's like creating all the puzzle pieces and finally putting them together. We're going to start working with cubes soon.
    Everything is becoming cloud based now. Not sure how I feel about the security aspects of that.

    very funny :) You have the brain power, I just think you are procrastinating or something. Vape on!

    Had to take a break from the internet to try and get it fixed. Here's what I've done:

    1) Took the RDA completely apart, gave it a nice Vodka bath, rinsed with water and dried.

    2) Pulsed the atty on my HexOhm 2.1 to check for hot spots. Strummed the coils so they heat more evenly, bumped them up and out a bit to leave more space for the tails of the wick.

    3) Completely destroyed one pad of Japanese cotton by trying to thread it through the coil with the tougher outer layer removed. Cut the pieces into different sizes and no matter what it just shredded.

    4) Decided to leave the thicker outer layer on the next pad. Tried to use too much and broke the piece off in the coil.

    5) Tried again, this strip cut a little skinnier. Success!

    I've only taken two hits off of it but so far no funky cotton taste. Can we just officially name it the Bunny .... taste? Seems appropriate. I'm wary to raise the wattage above 10 at the moment.

    Also, my father was one of the 'early' programmers. As kids, he would bring home boxes of punch cards for us to build card houses out of. Then, when I went off to college in 1980, I punched my own. lol
    So glad those days are over with! I had to write a program in HEX once. grrrrr.

    WOW, that is really coolio for sure..... That was before the days when even assembly language was developed.... Pretty strange that you played with programming cards as a kid and now you program..... Life can be a trip for sure :)

    Nah man it's just like I thought.....you moved the coils a tad bit and I think they were touching your top cap and causing it to short. Whoever wrapped those coils should have doubled checked the spacing! A person can seriously get hurt in situations like that..... I almost blew my face off with an RDA one time because the cap had a defect in it that you could not see with the naked eye. It caused the top cap to just barely touch the coils and short them out. A dude(ette) has to be very careful with some of those RDA's for sure.

    yeah, I know what you mean about the cloud and security :rolleyes:....... There isn't too many languages that I have not toyed around with. Yep visual studio is a nice piece of software for sure and I love using it. The only problem is that it is tied to M$crosoft and the .net framework... I know they have the mono project for nix users but I don't trust it enough yet to mess with it. Sounds to me like you have a good time at it anyway.
