Sadly, it doesn’t look like I’ll be playing much of anything this weekend, aside from mobile games. I’ve been having stupid electrical problems in my apartment. From Sunday night to Thursday morning, I didn’t have power at all. LADWP checked out my circuits on Wednesday and fixed things as best they could. It looks like the wiring in my place is shot. I’ll have power for two or three hours and then the circuit breaker will hit. I have to close all the circuits in my place, go to the electric room in the garage and reset my circuit there, flip back all the circuits in my apartment, lather, and repeat as needed. So yeah, this kind of sucks. It makes uploading video files extremely difficult. It makes long console gaming sessions impossible. It also means that I shouldn’t leave anything perishable in the refrigerator unless I plan on being around my apartment the whole time to babysit circuits. There are certainly worse problems to have, but this one is quite annoying.
So kindly cheer me up by letting me know what’s on your weekend playlist!
Ray, quick question for you if you dont mind. There was a recent local news report that suggested that vaping is “potentially more addictive AND deadly” than actual cigarette smoking. What are your thoughts about that? Is vaping dangerous?
I know this is directed at Ray, but I have my own opinion to weigh in on this.
The absolute truth is that the science is not there yet. There are still studies going on for the long term effects. The short term effects seem to say that vaping is indeed a lifesaver. The long term effects seem to have this opinionated politics thing going on similar to that of what happened with global warming, gay marriage, etc.
The tobacco lobby and Big Pharma are doing their best to shut vaping down based on how much money they foresee losing. they get their doctors to say one thing, the American Cancer Society and other organizations say another, yada yada yada, It’s a story similar to global warming.
You live in Virginia… a state damn near owned by tobacco. I could totally see why they want to nip this in the bud in their own backyard.
It really comes down to personal experience though. I haven’t had a cigarette since April 9, 2012. I vape damn near constantly though. I can tell you with absolute certainty that I breathe easier, I taste things better and more vividly, and I smell better (in more ways than one).
Yes, you are totally correct about my home state, where people complain about the price of a carton of cigarettes having rised to 35 dollars. It was built on tobacco and you are dead on about the media here. Thanks for the response and I agree 100 percent.
Sorry for the late reply TC! Nate totally has it right, naturally. I don’t believe for a second that e-cigs are potentially “more” addictive and deadly. In my opinion they’re as addictive, but exponentially less deadly. Of course I’m not a doctor or a scientist, but still it’s easy to see that big pharma hates vaping and is spending a lot of money to spread misinformation and bad information about it.
