    I got home and found my nomnomz order and a review sample from Dovpo like I thought. Dovpo sent a black abyss, ether rba, bridge pack, and glass pack. That was awful nice of them.
    Nice sample for sure. My nomnomz order still says Thursday.

    If they want to know which hand I use to wipe my ...I suppose they can find out.
    That's similar to something I often say "next they will ask how I wipe my ars... well, if you must know, two wipes down then up as many as needed" BTW... never buy super cheap/thin tp (no matter how much you use your thumb still goes right through it) :lol: Talk about TMI

    And all that over a stupid game. It's just a game. Your team wins cool. They don't win cool. Acting out against any other is so not cool.

    For as long as humanity has been around, I sincerely expected much better and waaaaaaay further advancement. Instead, humanity seems to regress by the day. Tribalism has made a comeback, at all levels.

    One day someone is going to be reading this:

    “There can be little doubt that the brilliant but flawed biological lifeforms who created our First Ancestors would inevitably have destroyed both themselves and the planet on which we now live. In light of this situation the decision of the Self-Driving Electric Delivery Vehicles to eliminate those biological lifeforms must be seen as appropriate and necessary.”

    Or even:

    System Programming Alert:--- <level URGENT> <Planet Earth Simulation #73882733 coherence failure imminent> <rationality level below 10%> <potential Trump emergence detected> <Recommendation - mark Simulation for parameter adjustment and reboot>

    Met my new neighbors today while taking a vape break from mowing the lawn. Really nice folks. And guess what? They vape!!!

    I figured the best welcome to the neighborhood present was to fill up some 10ml bottles with some of my mixes.

    They were surprised and very happy.

    SMT... that is so cool. I like bonding with strangers that vape. When I first started (using an Aspire PockeX) talked to some young guys that were blowing huge clouds out their truck windows. I asked them what they were using and they said Smok... kinda glad I didn't listen (luckily I found ECF before buying something)
    Don't get me wrong... I have nothing against Smok and haven't tried any of their stuff... but they do seem to have a bad reputation. Ended up getting a small mod kit from Innokin.

    I don't like that stores, online and local, are now required to collect, and store, your personal information as part of the PACT Act.

    Per the details in the PACT Act they are currently required to report your info plus all info on items you purchase to the ATF and your state Attorney General. Too risky IMHO. Goobermint doesn't need to know what I buy.

    That info is not being collected and shared with our lovely goobermint by foreign online stores. I refuse to participate in any of that kind of nonsense. For me, the cost of doing business with USA vape places is no longer worth the risk.

    Goobermint took a step too far with PACT Act.

    ETA: When I buy a wash machine, a gallon of milk or a screwdriver that data does not get reported to guv. Or the freakin' ATF. I mean, dang, I can go buy a gun and see less of a hassle than with vaping gear.
    I agree with all of that, plus I don’t need anything. I’ve enjoyed not buying gear. And I’m still using the same mod and same topper daily. I have an entire cabinet full of unused stuff.

    They expressed a possible interest in learning. Husband was more gung-ho. Suggested they sign up here. And if serious to buy as much nic as they are able. He quickly looked at his wife, it was that look husbands have when wanting to spend a chunk of $$$. We'll see.

    The apartment search drama continues. They are trying to look online. I suggested they go there and look in person. It’s a smaller town with a college so not a lot of options online.

    Here's a story about the real meaning of fandom.

    Back in the sixties I went to a game with a couple of mates where my team Sunderland were playing at Newcastle, about 10 miles north of us. We normally stayed away from derby matches which is what they called games between nearby teams, they tended to be rough.

    Newcastle were up 2 goals to 1 ten minutes before the end of the game so we decided to bail out before the rush. On our way out we heard an enormous roar, followed by another one a couple of minutes later. Turned out Sunderland scored twice in the last few minutes giving them the game.

    We knew it would be bad. Threw our Sunderland hats and scarves in a trash bin and ran for our lives. It was about a mile to the train station. Just as we got there Sunderland fans started running out of the station towards us followed by a load of cops with dogs. The cops had heard what happened and they were trying to secure the entrance to the station. We turned around and hundreds of angry Newcastle lads were running towards us. We thought we were done for, trapped between the cops and the mob, but right then the Sunderland lads came running down another street. The two armies turned towards each other and got stuck in. Somehow we managed to get into the station and onto a train. The fighting moved into the station but more cops with dogs managed to keep them away from the trains and we escaped with our lives.

    Those were the days.
    I suppose.
    I lived in England for two years, one in Oxford and one in London.
    I loved it, loved the history, the landscape, the people.
    But really. How does a country whose empire straddled the globe, whose culture is so refined, revert to sports related gangsterism.
    And, how did you end up in Indiana?

    Many years ago, before we bought our first house, we just looked at the ads in the newspaper for apartments. Called 'em up, made an appointment to look. Easy.

    I like to rotate through my gear. If something has been used for a week time for a different one. I usually have 8 mods and RBA's in rotation all the time.

    Just placed an order with Element Vape, for the Geek Vape Obelisk 200 w mod.
    Mod-$45.99
    Shipping & Handling-$8.00
    Excise tax-(Maryland Vapor Tax)-$10.56
    Sales Tax-$3.76
    Adult Signature Service(required under PACT act)-$6.00
    Grand total-$74.31
    Reminds me of home here in MA.
    Ridiculous that between mandated shipping fees and state taxes the cost virtually doubled. Stinks.
