There is in most countries. Unless you mean shortfills you are meant to add nic to? In the US those still firmly fall under the laws restricting sale of vapes. Don't know about the UK or Europe, I know those products exist there though.

Otherwise you can't legally sell bulk nicotine to underage people, obviously the other ingredients are used for such a wide variety of things they can't really be restricted like that.

Alkaline batteries are great for remotes and stuff like that, where they potentially last years, in those applications it seems very reasonable, my TV remote still has the included AA batts and I bought it 3 years ago. But they end up getting used in higher drain devices and it gets a bit absurd. Still, at least people aren't rocking around with their boombox with 6 D cells that last 8hours.

As a long time e-cig user and enthusiast I agree. I thought we got away from that garbage a decade ago, but then it came back. I don't get it, it's expensive, it sucks, and it's mind bogglingly awful for the environment.

I don't even love the idea of pre built coils but I compromised for the convenience now that they are actually good. Feels a lot less bad to toss a little bit of steel and kanthal every few weeks.

I can't really get behind banning flavors, but less attractive packaging and only allowing open refillable systems would be a huge step to slowing adolescent use, they pretty much all use disposables because they can be bought at gas stations and you have to go to a smoke shop to get the refillables. Not to mention dropping $60 on a mod+tank isn't as easy to start as $10 for a disposable.

I think the flavors are a big part of why they can be effective as cessation aids you start to no longer associate tobacco with it which helps a lot. I no longer smell someone smoking and get cravings.

They look just fine over RCS. Which everyone else supports and apple could even integrate support for into iMessage.

Even straight up MMS on most carriers has no limit or a generous enough one that a short clip comes through just fine.

Haha, that's exactly the kind of game I want to make but with graphics and a little less dry. Didn't even know about that one. Also I should probably actually figure out how to start that once I'm settled in here. It's amazing how much planning and thought goes into getting one truck across the country. It's like Oregon trail but you die of stupidity, yours or others, rather than dysentery.

Why bother with NFTs? every storefront already has a licensing system, the only benefit I could see is being able to move it from storefront to storefront, but they will never go for that. Even then it could be done much more efficiently other ways.

Yeah consumer retail has implied contracts that override anything you write in a TOS or EULA. You can add certain things with those but there's still a basic commercial transaction happening that is bound to the rule of law.

I got my monies worth out of it, but yeah, it's missing the mark compared to their previous games.

The bickering was dumber and less serious but there was plenty of it on the newsgroups lol.

I used to drive it in a semi regularly no idea what my company was paying, must have cost a small fortune over the years but really the only good way to get into southern Ohio from Harrisburg or Allentown.

Lol always a picture of Breezewood, wich is odd because it doesn't really represent suburban development in any way whatsoever, it's a turnpike town with 178 residents. It was literally built to support the interchange and highway.

A lot of taxi and rideshare drivers are saying they are getting the hell out of town for the event so they don't have to deal with it, so you have to incentivize people to stay on and make some cash. My source is just secondhand anecdotes of what cabbies were talking about when friends and family were visiting recently but if it sticks out enough for these people to mention it a lot of people must have said it.

It sucks but for once I think Vegas isn't just being full of shit here.

Whether it's the perception alone of European guests or a real issue is kind of irrelevant because the cabbies don't want to work the event either way.
