  • I’ve been trying to quit for 18 years now. I’ve tried gum, patches, toothpicks, welbutron (or something like that), but this time it’s going a bit better. We switched to cheap disposable vapes (Kadobar was what was near the house) which is totally not ‘quitting’ but when picking a flavor, Pick a bad one. I’ve found I don’t like it, it’s way too sweet and that keeps me from wanting to smoke it too much at a time, but when that need arises (bad meeting, car trouble, bad anxiety) it does deliver nicotine which keeps me from buying a pack.

    As a side effect, I went from spending around $400-450/month on cigarettes, to around $160/month (my wife went with one she likes, but she’s quit before and I think she could do it anytime).





  • Fair enough, if I thought it was just a bs professor my citation would be from whatever person I could find with that name. I’ve seen bad instruction and will follow it because it’s part of the instruction (15 years ago I had one that graded by the number of sentences in your answer, they can get dumb), but I totally see how ChatGPT would just make stuff up.

    No need for a diagram, I feel it’s dumb and can be summed up really quickly. If your job is to teach, and you instead require additional time, perhaps schedule more classtime instead of outsourcing the step by step instruction part to the children’s parents (requesting they teach a method they were never taught… looking at you common core bs). If the math lesson requires more instruction, make the finger-painting the homework, or plan the lessons to include time to reinforce the concepts.

    Just a personal opinion though.






  • Sadly I think it has more to do with the way Windows handles stuff in general. My personal machine seems to have no issues, LMDE with the foxes (Firefox/LibreWolf); my work computer though, Windows with the chromes (Edge/Chrome) seems to get confused the moment their is a second profile in the browser.

    All that being said, I’ve definitely tried clearing the cookies and just living with it.



  • I’ll have to respectfully disagree, while it’s not the best game, I can’t say it’s that bad. The whole game shouldn’t take more than 45 minutes unless you’re going easy on someone (like kids but monopoly isn’t really a friendly smiley game).

    I guess it’s really up to what type of games you like to play.
