#No question is too stupid for this thread. Ask anything.
I have 10 minutes to get ready for work and I'll probably be late because I still need to stop on the way for coffee...
If you need highlights here's a spreadsheet with almost a thousand.
Have fun!
With the incoming flavor bans, what do you guys think about black market juice selling? If anybody in the market has the know how(besides the actual companies and employees of those comp.) it would be people like us. Too risky? Not enough profit?
IME there wasn't really any risk since i was selling to friends and family who knew what was up. I sold to coworkers for very cheap (like 5$/30ml or straight up free) to fund more ingredients. It also helped a lot when i was testing something out and wanted feedback... or i made something truly disgusting and weird and needed to share it.
i think it could end up legally fucky if you were selling to randoms. like, say, if they get sick somehow and blame you. i'm not sure how it could turn out if you were caught by a LEO selling but i can't imagine it'd go over smoothly.
that said, you probably shouldn't.
Don't ask, don't tell
China gives zero fucks. Enjoy vaping flavored WD40 America.
Actually read my post before you reply, and maybe work on your attitude lol.
I did. My comment was both satirical and realistic. You said black market. China is notorious for cheap knockoffs. They sell vaping products via alibaba and other places. WD-40 as well as other things when inhaled can cause lipoid pneumonia. Do your research.
Why is a chair a chair? Like, who was the person who once stood up from their chair and named it so? Before a chair being called a chair, it had to have a name, or was it nameless? Did they just call everything you could sit on a “bench”? A “stool”? But then, who named those things how they’re named? You’d think the question stopped there, but noooo; it doesn’t. Who then translated it? By doing so (just like with naming a chair a chair), there must have been some agreement between the important people of their respective villages/tribes/towns/what have you. Did they flip coins to determine how they would call something, or would they reach consensus in a democratic way?
Ordinarily we pay little attention to the words we speak. We concentrate instead on the meaning we intend to express and are seldom conscious of how we express that meaning. Only if we make a mistake and have to correct it or have difficulty remembering a word do we become conscious of our words. This means that most of us don't know where the words we use come from and how they come to have the meanings they do. Since words play such an important role in our lives, making our life easy or difficult depending on which words we choose on a given occasion, exploring their nature and origin should provide an interesting adventure.
English words come from several different sources. They develop naturally over the course of centuries from ancestral languages, they are also borrowed from other languages, and we create many of them by various means of word formation. Each of these sources have made a material impact on the vocabulary available to us today.
Languages are not stagnant; they don't remain the same forever. They are constantly developing and changing. If one dialect group loses contact with people in another, the two groups are likely to develop into mutually unintelligible languages. At one time, for example, around 1,000 B.C.E., there was a single language that we call Proto-Germanic. Everyone speaking it could understand each other. But dialects emerged, the people speaking them dispersed in different directions so that the dialects developed into languages that are today called Danish, Dutch, English, Faroese, German, Icelandic, Norwegian, and Swedish. These are then sister languages and Proto-Germanic is the mother language. (All languages come from from one-parent families.)
Obviously words changed as these languages developed from their ancestors. So the core words in English today developed from Proto-Germanic (via Old English, Middle English, into Modern English). These Germanic words include such words as "get", "burn", "ring", "house", "dog", "think". These words have cognates in other Germanic languages; that is, words that share the same origin. English "house", Danish "hus", and German "Haus" are cognates; so are "think" and German and Dutch "denk-en".
So these words are the results of 3,000 years of development in different dialects of what was originally a single language. Notice some of the rules that linguists look for: the "s" in German often corresponds to "t" in English (Fuss, Wasser), while the "th" in English often corresponds to "d" or "t" in German: (Mutter). The "ch" in German and the "k" in English seem to be related, too (Milch, machen). These parallels in many words demonstrate that the languages are related. (Also notice that vowels are much more likely to change than consonants. Even the changed consonants here are very similar to each other linguistically.)
More specifically, chair comes from the early 13th-century English word chaere, from Old French chaiere ("chair, seat, throne"), from Latin cathedra ("seat").
Thank you for the reply, truly. I absolutely love etymology, and language in general. :) (And after a little digging: TIL that the word chair goes all the way back to the pope and his cathedral. I’m sure it goes even further back, but it far too late for that to find out atm.) But really; for a question I didn’t expect a serious answer to, thanks for taking the time. 👍
Or just whoever deals it calls it
usually the creator of new object announces it dramatically with a
"Behold, I give you the (insert new object name here)"
(edit to add): and btw recipes get named the same way
"Behold I give you Strawberry Vanilla Milkshake"
So I'm going to be making water Malone, and the watermelon it uses has caution all over the website picture because it contains diacetyl. Should I be at all concerned?
There is always room for concern, but it's just a matter of risk management. It's probably not enough diacetyl to hurt you from normal usage. A cigarette likely contains more than an entire bottle of eliquid. I have never been able to find a verified case of popcorn lung from vaping eliquid.
is there any cheap decent eliquid vendor outside USA?
Are any vendors offering nicotine discounts. NY resident and would like to get a bottle of 48mg to throw in the freezer.
Nicotine rarely goes on sale. Usually only on holidays for a few days maybe. You just missed Labor day :( Next one (that's usually a big one) will be for black Friday and cyber Monday. So take note EVERYBODY NEW, big sales are always on holidays. So if you plan a purchase and its near a major holiday, just wait.
When is the next holiday, I live in Australia so have no idea when urs are!
What the fuck is going on with the flavour bans? I’m in NZ very confused about what I’m hearing
With ur prime minister I would be stocking up on everything possible! I personally wouldn't be surprised if theres bans everywhere on vaping very soon. Unfortunately we are getting closer to a dictatorship by the day here in south Australia.
I would if I could afford it 😂 Imagine the outrage if they were banning alchohol like this, it’s killed hundreds of times more people than vaping
Literally everything has killed more people than vaping and that includes the vitamin e vaping deaths which aren't anything to do with nicotine vapes! Cars, planes, hell even water has killed plenty of people! Absolutely nothing to do with people's health, all about money and dictatorship. The sooner everyone wakes up and realizes the better off we will be!
