I was building my own mods and coils and juice before vaping took off.
It's just a battery in a tube with a coil as a resistor that heats up with battery contact and you squirt juice on it.
Even if they banned vapes tomorrow, I'd still vape.
The only way they could stop me is if I couldn't buy nicotine solution.
But I'd still probably vape non nicotine stuff for a while. It really is the act that's the most addictive part. Like I think someone could placebo me with switching my juice with no nicotine.
Everytime I make a new batch of juice I put less nicotine in it. I'm probably at like 8% of the nicotine I use to put in it after all these years.
The problem is when someone's freedom infringes on another's.
Can a neighbor resurrect a 15ft tall obscene statue in their yard?
Land of the free says yes. But every neighbor is going to hate it.
With an HOA you don't have to worry about it because the HOA will not allow it. You are protected from your neighbor's choices that could make your property less appealing.
Solving a game means that the way to win/draw it is 100% known
Checkers is weakly solved because if the first person makes a certain move and no matter what the other player does the player going first knows the next move to draw.
Tic-tac-toe is a completely solved game. If you go first and put it in the middle the second player has to go into a corner or lose. If they put it in a corner then the first player goes in a corner and it's a draw.
Chess could be weakly solved even though there are so many combinations of possible moves.
Like say like a weird strategy existed where black cannot stop white from simply marching all their pawns to the other side of the board with protection and eventually smothers the king.
If just one unstoppable line in chess existed it would be weakly solved
They start high and then get cheaper. You are basically paying to reserve the seat. The price will fall until it hits someone's price range.
It you wanted to wait until the game starts you can buy significantly cheaper tickets. But if you want a certain designated seat and to get there early then you have to pay for that.
Not saying it's a good way to do it. But this does give the person that's willing to pay more the rights to the seat vs something like a first come first serve system. In those, the scalpers buy them up and resale. Harder to scalp the overpriced tickets because the scalpers have to continuously follow the price and gamble, not just buy them for their "lowest price" at a certain time.
It's your brain saying "You are going to do this" rather than saying "I am going to do this"
Most stories aren't written in 2nd person because the author doesn't really know you. But when you know yourself you can be the best author of your story.
I believe that a lot of the way aphants and non-aphants think are similar but when it comes to imagines it's completely different. I haven't met someone that only thinks in pure images.
Like remembering past personal events. I have SDAM, Severely Deficient Autobiographical Memory, that comes probably from my aphantasia. When I think of my last birthday party for example I can remember who was there, what kind of cake, where it was celebrated, anything out of the ordinary happen. But I cannot replay the visual memory in my head. I have to factually recall things about it. Now go back another birthday party and I might be able to remember something out of the ordinary if it stuck with me. But when "looking" back at my like it is all facts. I use to play baseball, 3rd base/outfield, batted 4th. I remember our team being good, I remember I got in trouble a bunch because after I hit I would just release the bat and it would go flying. But I couldn't tell you about a specific game or anything, I don't remember a good hit or catch. Just facts.
Another example from my girlfriend that is an imager.
She pictures a blank memo pad when she tries to fall asleep and focuses on keeping it blank.
I assume this is her version of counting sheep. Trying to keep images from popping into your mind to distract you from falling asleep.
For me I put myself in a scenario and imagine it. Like I walk up to the city of Qarth from Game of Thrones and they won't open up the gates. I usually give myself superpower. I just "run" with it until I fall asleep. But imagining my body moving is one of the keys, I enjoy lightsaber battles.
I am not watching it, I am experiencing it. It's not the same as watching it in 1st or 3rd person. It is like experiencing it in 2nd person if your brain was the narrator.
I find other people with aphantasia to be very similar to me.
Imager seem to be very different from one another probably depending on how good image generation is.
One example is I don't go into a movie with visual expectations. I've read Harry Potter, I knew he was a small kid with messy black hair and taped glasses. But when I saw the movie I didn't care if Dainel Radcliffe fit the role because I had no image of Harry Potter in my mind. Just the details.

Because HOAs are not bad if ran correctly.

I have a s25+ and I almost always type with one hand. I am faster typing with two thumbs, but it's not easier, just faster.
But if the whole weight of the bottom run is flat/supported it should not matter that much.
I see your point though, they shouldn't have done it.
I have never seen anyone put the cleat in the middle of the bottom step run.
I don't see a reason why it would be bad though
Very nice stairs

You can double tap shift to turn on caps lock on your phone
Why does the nose have to be so large?
It's not appealing and you lose like 25% of cargo space for the vehicle

Are you talking about Lake Saskatchewan?
Yeah you know how bad it would be if you had to shift your whole body on a horse to adjust the aim of the tip of the lance 10ft away?

You do sound like the opposite. Do you have hyperphantasia?
I'd definitely take just audio over reading any day.
Reading just requires me to play the audio in my inner voice. If someone else read and said it then it's less brain power for me.
