Wow, so many n00bs here. That is usually an up-tick.

Welcome to WO.

PM me here with your mother's maiden name, and PVT key for more details!

You're welcome. The check is in the mail!

Er, Go Sports!

Sorry, that's the best I can do.

Ah, Safety Dance. Men Without Hats.

@JJG, it's all been a long time, on the smoking. I'm probably cold on the exact numbers. Or I just may not want to say specifics here. I used to spend $200 a month smoking, so that was my DCA. I skipped a few times when Real Life called, needing me to spend some Real Money on life stuff.

I am in much better health now. I am blessed with good genes, and I spent too many years trying to kill myself slowly. I've emerged from smoking pretty well. I have some shortness of breath still, but it's getting better. I've lowered my blood pressure from "pop a cork" to below normal, consistently.  I sleep like a baby now, I've lost 20 pounds.

I actively dislike cig smoke now.

I quit smoking for good by vaping. I was an 'accidental quitter'. I didn't want to quit, I loved to smoke. My wife is a cancer survivor, so I never smoked inside. I got tired of freezing in winter, so i started vaping so I could do it indoors.

Smoking is a complicated addiction. All of us smokers are physically addicted to nicotine, but the other various aspects hold different power, over different people.

Some want a big cloud on exhale (that needs more vegetable glycerin in your vape juice).  Some want a more powerful 'throat hit' (that needs more propolyene glycol).  Some want strong flavors.  Some need the hand to mouth ritual. It's easy to adjust the amount of nicotine you are getting.

Once you can identify these aspects, you can fine tune your vaping experience to what YOU want. It will never taste like your old cig, sorry.

Once I got mine like I liked it, I had a shocking thought. I could do this instead of smoking.  After a month of two you start to get your taste back (I like lots of Scoville units, but I had to back way off on my normal hot food, once I could taste it properly).  I vaped for about 10 years, now have gone about 2 years with nothing.

To calculate the money saved was a huge help. I had an app on my phone, "since my last cigarette" or something. You entered in how much you smoked, and how much it cost.  It constantly showed a running total of money saved, and cigarettes NOT smoked.  When I was weakening I could look at that, and it sometimes would keep me from backsliding.

Cigarette money became my DCA.  Recommended.

I had to unblock him to catch up on his recent blather. He's the guy that has allegedly been in bitcoin for years, but appeared here begging for 3 BTC. He has a tesla fetish, and lives in mom's basement. He seems to have got into the liquor cabinet. He posts a lot of children's cartoons.

Best to block his waste of electrons here.

Elwar may have good reasons for a lower profile here.

@outofmemory We all (or at least I do) hope you can post some eclipse pix!

@eXPHorizon

Musicians, that play actual instruments, laugh at posers that live in mom's basement. Can you make a 'whukka-whukka' noise in the microphone for us? Do you own music equipment?

Rhymin is not music. Yo.

Wow, emulation has come a long way. Does IDKFA still give you God mode? My personal mnemonic for that was "I Do Kick Fucking Ass".

I used to dual-boot to DOS, for best performance playing Doom. and Descent2, and Wolfenstein 3D.  That was the last time I gamed. Since then, my only game has been TCP/IP.

Edit: Ok, those and Redneck Rampage.  (disdainfully): "City Folk"

What is this 'sports' that you speak of?

Wow, congrats to the ex-smokers here! I smoked hard for 30 years, vaped for 10, no nothing now for the last 3 years.
I figured up how much I was spending on cigarettes, and once I quit, that amount became my DCA.  Even if BTC goes to zero, I have done a better thing for myself.

If you smoke cigs, try to quit. I felt a lot better, and I didn't think I felt bad.

Harrumph, it was very short notice, for whatever reason.....

Zappa:

Three hundred years ago
I thought I might get me some sleep
I stretched myself out onna antique bed
An' my spirit did a midnight creep

You know I'll never sleep no more
It seem to me that it just ain't wise
Didja ever wake up in the mornin'
With a zomby woof behind your eyes
Just about as evil as you could be

I am the zomby woof
I'm that creature all the ladies been
Talkin' about.

Almost as good as FZ, check out Rachel Flower, blind lady, play everything.

 Jay, try the de-caf? just a suggestion.

At one time, I though Kracken was "the place" where Gox coins were going to be released to. Is that still the case?

Wow, idiots abound. Try the decaf.

Flo Control has been around a lot longer.  https://openscience.org/the-flo-control-project/

There I was, closing many old tabs, and I remembered this one. A GOX   NFT?   Why?  "For future uses, not yet explored".

It is pandering to the OG, with no idea why. I received it in email, because that's what the GOX userlist was. Sold.

Not recommended.

Maybe we can trade them to each other. Harrumph.

We did not ask. No one cares.

Maybe you should stay with your mama...
