Forced to quit from California flavor ban laws, trying to prepare
2025.01.30 18:56 carose89 Forced to quit from California flavor ban laws, trying to prepare
I don’t want to quit honestly, it’s my only vice and I love it but I can no longer get the juice I want in California and I’m taking that as a sign to quit (definitely never going back to cigarettes!) I have about 6 weeks left of juice and that’s it so once it’s gone I can’t get any more.
I’m looking for all your favorite tips that helped you adapt! I was thinking of nicotine lozenges, it seems like a nice way to involve the oral fixation when quitting, have any of you tried that? What was your withdrawal like? For those who’ve been quit for a long time, are the cravings still there? I’ve been addicted to nicotine in some form for 15 years now so I need to make sure I can set myself up for success.
Thanks everyone! ♥️

2025.01.30 18:56 weedshrek abnimals 17 again, the movie where zac effron has a weird milf-romance with his ex wife? better than this probably recap
heyo pervarim, we're back with another one and oh my god i just read the episode description and fuck me. fuck me come on dude. like of course we're gonna go see herr dryer, thereby rendering the last four episodes absolutely meaningless because they did not achieve the ONE stated goal travis promised they could do if they did this, which is find out where the fuck carver is. also, arty ficial, a robot that has already been reprogrammed to no steal silver or whatever, goes to prison. herr dryer, actual supervillain, is allowed to leave and start his own business or whatever libertarian nonsense this is. i haven't even started the episode yet.
anyway netflix added hajima no ippo new challenger and this show kicks fucking ass. its mad dog animating now and no offense to the other guys but mad dog has that heat, the show looks great. i'm so fucking obsessed with a shounen anime that eschews all the training stuff and is just like, its fight time again. literally the first episode of new challenger is like 15 minutes recapping the events leading up to this point, and then immediately we're in immediately in the pacific asian welterweight championship challenger match with miyata. i also love the subversion of the rival character who is objectively behind the protagonist in ability at the moment and knows it. its also been really fun seeing ippo become the new goal for this new generation of boxer. fuck i wish i were watching new challenger than recapping this ass.
- evil song, etc
- abnimals has really shown me that while i hate travis, i do not care for any of these men anymore. travis introduces the episode with herr dryer's dry-aria, the only laundromat in the city that only has dryers. hey, that's actually kind of funny! you know what would really enhance this moment? is if griffin explains why this situation would be funny. hooray.
- and then because travis is who he is, he now has to defend the idea and explain herr dryer's thought process and none of this is good anymore
- fuck yes there's like six travis npcs here now and one of them spoke and i have no idea who because travis gave up on all the voices
- the other thing i love here is that they're just at the dry-aria and no explanation why they're just gonna do this one for awhile now
- 3:30 clint speaks for the first time
- fuckkkkk it took them 4:40 to leave the fucking van and enter the dry-aria
- my actual favorite thing about this podcast is that bad european accents are always funny (sorry europeans) and its such an easy joke to make like, legitimately pretty hard to fuck up since the worse your attempt is the funnier it is. like the bad european accent is what immediately made magic bryan one of the best characters in balance and he's on the show for like 20 minutes. anyway, all that said herr dryer sounds like travis because don't you remember the tooooooooooootally funny subvartion where he's aaaaaaaaactually from nebraska. its like this show is actively seeking to stomp out joy.
- all of these men are legitimately allergic to forward momentum fuck why does every conversation have to be so fucking meandering
- "it's all online, you contact CLAMGELA, CLAMGELA contacts you--its all anonymous"
- again just to be clear this means NOTHING from the "heist" mattered. you could and should have fully cut those four episodes from this podcast and you'd have lost nothing as far as plot or character goes
- justin, who is not an idiot: hey man i just figured you'd be a bit more hesitant to sell out a shady criminal underworld fixer
- travis, who is an idiot: why would i be afraid, i'm not a criminal anymore. also i owe you guys for setting me on the right path, and i owe my other npc, deene, also, for doing all my loan paperwork, because you the players are not allowed to just have the spotlight ever in this game
- also herr dryer's plan is to find clamgela's ip address, to reveal her physical location. showing that travis doesn't know what an ip address is and also IF THAT'S THE SOLUTION THEN IT SEEMS LIKE SOMETHING THE GIANT TECH COMPANY THAT IS BACKING THEM COULD HAVE SOLVED
- i feel like at one point some time distantly in my past, i came across some sort of writing advice that was like "you have to explain why your guy with a gun doesn't just shoot his enemy" because if there's an obvious solution the audience is going to wonder why it wasn't taken, unless you can justify it within your narrative
- one of my favorite authors, CS Friedman, used to have an article up describing what she called (ironic here) her "DND rule", which was while plotting/worldbuilding her books, she would imagine how it would function as a dnd setting with players, because players intrinsically seek to push the boundaries of your world and find inconsistencies. basically, same sort of thing, if something is structured as xyz, you have to know WHY its xyz, and why these people aren't doing abc instead, or mno, and so on. actually, this thought process is what lead to one of her trilogies, the magister trilogy, where she basically asked the question, "in a world with wizards who can cast powerful insane magic spells, why are the wizards not the ones in charge? why are there still kings?" and built out from there. its pretty cool, but not my favorite of her work, which is the coldfire trilogy, about a battle priest and a fear vampire on a distant alien world unraveling a centuries long conspiracy. kicks ass.
- aw fuck i still have to recap abnimals
- hey don't worry the players are privately conversing and travis got bored so he's having his npcs shout bullshit and make this scene go longer
- no actually fuck travis i'm thinking about this more and it sucks so hard why would you do that. the players are literally in the middle of making plans, in character, and travis just has arty ficial be like "hey guys! i don't remember did you tell me to stand here or there?" like what the fuck is that. that's nothing, that's literally you're so fucking self absorbed you cannot let your players have a single fucking moment without you being the specialist boy in the room.
- this is another catch-22 moment that can only exist in a show as baffling as the adventure zone: justin is wary of herr dryer and thinks this might be a set up, so he wants to try and sneakily investigate more and see if he can determine that. in a normal game, this is good, your player is engaged, has an idea, and is executing on it. in abnimals, this sucks ass, because obviously herr dryer isn't setting a trap, travis is the gm. so come hot off the heels of 4 hours of accomplishing nothing, you're going to drag out this fucking scene even longer doing bullshit that won't lead anywhere because travis is the one in fucking charge
- "i'm having a hard time-- i'm trying to get my creative juices flowing and imagine what a mixed success of one camouflaging oneself as a house plant looks like" yeah no shit travis you've arbitrated exactly two mixed successes in this entire game you fuck
- huh i can't tab in the bullet point to make a sub-point
- anyway, the thing the zk should be focusing in on here is the player's intent-- to sneak into dryer's office, not the action itself-- disguising himself as a houseplant. if you look at it like that, there's a variety of ways you could play out a mixed success-- you hide (as a houseplant, sure whatever), but there's no clear path to the office from where you are. you hide, but the disguise is shoddy, anyone who gets too close will be able to identify you immediately. you are hidden, but suddenly you remember that you are in a building full of ex-supervillain henches. if they catch you, they may attack first and ask questions later.
- but i bet what lyle gets is either basically a full success or "uh, you're disguised as a plant but the disguise is shitty" lets hit play and find out!
- "i think now you look like a plant man" score another one for weedshrek
- thank fucking god another reference to the hit film "the stupids" and another opportunity to remind everyone of how they chided clint for making an animal house reference once
- "yeah its a little embarrassing" this could be the tagline of the how to dm book they're inevitably going to have ghostwritten for them
- oh in the however many minutes that this has been going on, we gotta circle back to dryer, who has a second reason why he's willing to rat on clamgela that travis never got to say
- its that clamgela is a middle-person (so progressive) so she's not scary, she just works for the scary guys. is travis stupid?
- i'm rewatching warrior and one of my favorite characters is wang chao, a middleman of chinatown that preserves his delicate neutrality between the competing tongs and the police as he profits off all of them. his whole arc on the show is the slow erosion of that neutrality and the revelation that his neutrality, him being above the dirt, of his protection, were all maybe illusions this whole time. such a good character, such a fun and interesting arc.
- also i just watched an accentedcinema video essay on a 70s film called shanghai joe. its a spaghetti western about a chinese man making his way through cowboy america and fighting racism with his fists, which sounds oddly familiar to my fellow warrior-heads. the film was directly inspired by kung fu, starring david carradine, so it actually makes total sense how much overlap there is between the two premises, as kung fu is also built on the same television treatment bruce lee wrote, before he was ultimately replaced by carradine in a move of rank racism. but what's extra funny about shanghai joe, is that the main character is actually played by a japanese man. and now, 40 years later, bruce lee's tv treatment comes to life again, and the main character is now played by andrew koji, a japanese man. funny how life works.
- ah fuck i still have to listen to abnimals
- travis says huh
- clint: i'm going to roll to put [lyle] in the office. .....what do i roll?
- travis: god that's such a good question. you guys love backing me into some dm corners, huh?
- ok relax you are not brennen lee mulligan dipshit. you don't follow your own rules so this doesn't matter, but its obviously an abs roll for 2d8 unless clint can somehow justify one of his moves here.
- actually, in a way, he IS the brennen lee mulligan OF dipshits
- dryer is i guess gonna job interview lyle disguised as a plant person. there is something fucking wrong with travis. the kind version is that by never having to actually experience any of this corporate bullshit first hand, he finds it endlessly whimsical and funny and that's why this keeps happening. the unkind version is that he has a degree in acting and became a set builder, he runs a shmodcast no one listens to while his brother's version got a book deal, everyone hates his campaigns, he's so deeply insecure that he's accomplished nothing with his life that this is him literally roleplaying the traditional signmarkers for success. allegedly! allegedly! you can't ban me for psychoanalyzing
- fuck abnimals is still happening
- 18 minutes to get out of a van and write an email
- oh i know travis reads the sub because he remembered they left gold seal back at the not police station
- i will give this one to travis, he finally manages to be condescending on purpose at an appropriate moment in rp and its actually a good exchange between navy and gold
- he called him btw i don't think i mentioned that
- but also the part of this that wasn't good, because just like how travis can't let his players have a scene by themselves, i can't let travis have a compliment without highlighting what went wrong in the same scene, navy's justification for leaving gold is, "fuck my dad, he snitched on us" and travis's response was "no i didn't i was doing a totally unrelated thing with walter russel and it has nothing to do with what happened after" sucks. i can't wait to either never get an explanation for how walter knew to activate the world's dumbest lockdown mechanism, or else get that big reveal and and something incredibly stupid that doesn't make any sense. these are the only two outcomes possible for this set up.
- barker called to find out what else was stolen from the museum, and i'm gonna keep harping on this, he shouldn't have to rely on these assholes to find out, the museum keeps a fucking inventory of their stock. it also makes it sound like we're gonna get a big ol subvartion and barker may be bad, but also i don't care.
- while i understand why el diablo sounds just like travis, i would have given anything for him to take that stab at a mexican accent
- justin: i look around [the office] to see if i can spot anything shady
- travis: well-- i'll give you this without rolling, you do not see anything immediately shady
- justin: .....what about with rolling
- travis: i mean, you might find more?
- griffin: i would bet 100 million dollars there is nothing else going on here
- travis: mixed success, there is nothing you see that would indicate to you anything out of the ordinary
- i got bored so i checked to see if they were up to date with transcripts yet, and the most recent transcript is for episode 12
- also i got there by googling the adventure zone because i refuse to dignify the maxfun website by remembering its url, and the other sub is the fourth result, but also, google shows some like, popular threads from the subreddit underneath the result, and the three that are listed are:
- Today TAZ finally lost me and I...
- The the adventure zone zone
- Does it get better?
- they're writing an email in real time and in a normal podcast this could be funny but because nothing has happened in 6 episodes i want to kill myself
- i can already tell the other sub comment thread is gonna have a lot of people saying positive things about fiddly leaf and i want to let you know right now: they are wrong. this bit is not funny.
- highlight of this episode for me is clint judo flipping travis's question "when was the last time you interviewed for a job" with "well, i've never been fired from one, travy, so i don't have any experience in finding a new job. people are always coming to me"
- oh i didn't mention this episode is called figging around and that's nothing fuck travis amen
- arty traces the ip of the email to river city first bank i cannot wait for another heist lets fucking gooooooo
- griffin: i like arty....arty sounds different. enough for me to know who he is, which i like about him
- me-ow!
- its crazy that they have a tech billionaire ally npc that could do all of this for them and instead they've got a robot npc built by that tech billionaire that is doing it all for them
- awwwwww we were so close to getting an episode without an adbreak. instead, we got an adbreak at 36:37, i think definitively disproving theories that they needed to move the adbreak up to ensure listeners heard them. i think they are just wildly incompetent
- old justin announcements ad
- new maxfun ad, for the eurovangelist, a podcast where three guys i guess try to convince you how awesome eurovision is. a. a show premise that's abooooout, 15 years? too late. b. great naming, what i want right now is to listen to a show that's name associates with evangelicals, c. you want me to care about the show that lets israel compete? lmaooooooooo
- speaking of shows i would never listen to, the greatest generation ad
- still no real sponsors eh?
- ohhhhhhh lmao griffin straight up forgot that barker is secretly a greenback and THAT'S why he was suspicious of him. now after travis pointedly reminded him that barker is a greenback griffin is like oh nvm let me call him back and tell him everything i know
- my cat's being hyper, brb gotta go play with him
- back, sweet angel boy. he just took the fattest, stinkiest shit <3 he's just like travis fr
- ps babe if ur reading this we're almost out of cat litter
- oh great greenbackstory
- the unaired pilot has the actual formula of the stuff that mutated the greenbacks
- this is so fucking stupid
- oh travis is pleased as punch with his bit; the tape is in betamax so its gonna take time for these ZOOMERS to find a player
- also why would anyone want to know how to mutate abnimals i thought the water just Did That now?
- haha what am i saying the big reveal is going to be the OG stuff allows you to leave river city
- yes, my favorite part of the episode: its over

However, both the watches are upwards of 30,000 Please suggest me some good watches around 15,000 which stands out like these watches.

2025.01.30 18:56 KaleidoArachnid Sometimes I wonder how a water dragon boss fight would go in the game
Just something I came up with as I know the game didn’t have DLC, or get any follow up to it, but suddenly I was trying to picture how a dragon boss fight would go as I feel it could have been interesting to see the main character fight a dragon like being with the game‘s parry system.
Sorry if that came off wrong sounding, but what I mean is that I was looking at the design aesthetics for Sekiro as I started to realize how it would have been kind of cool for the game to have a dragon boss battle where the player must defeat a dragon to progress further as the player would have to learn how to use the deflect mechanics to avoid being pelted by the dragon’s abilities as for instance, the enemy could use a tidal wave type attack that must be very carefully deflected.

Hi! I have been reading a lot about male cats getting urinary blockages. If you’ve had this issue, what do you do to prevent it from reoccurring? Is there anything you wish that you did from the jump? I try to keep my boy well hydrated but I do a wet/dry diet as advised by his vet. She said that cats with wet only diets tend to have more teeth issues. Some sources online say otherwise. Any comments are appreciated!

I have the MSI MAG B650 Tomahawk and the Ryzen 7 9800x3d so the BIOS might not be up to date. If the BSoD cause is because of the BIOS version is it safe to update it with the ryzen 7 cpu installed?
