- Comment on Disposable vapes to be banned in England and Wales from June 4 weeks ago:
Maybe I’ve just been lucking out, but every concert venue I’ve been to recently has let me in with my vape. I usually tell the security person I have it on me, and then they tell me it’s fine and pass me through. You’re right though, it would suck to have to toss it.
I don’t agree with the “smaller” part though. Most of the disposable units I see are thicker and wider than my refillable one, since they need to be long-lasting as a value proposition. I think the main draw is probably pure convenience.

As someone who is using a nicotine vape to wean off of nicotine, I still don’t understand why people buy disposable ones.
It’s less cost-effective, less customizable, and more sketchy.

Yes, and Your Grace’s (my) pronoun is “Your Grace,” also always inflected and conjugated in whichever way is convenient to Your Grace.
You mean to suggest that the first person and third person of your pronouns are conjugated exactly the same. So the sentence “Drag’s pronoun is Drag” exists as the first, second, AND third person version of the statement. At that point, what is the point of having distinctions in perspective? It almost seems like your system of pronouns changes the grammar of the language into a different version of the language… hmm…

Oh no, I hurt two dragon-sexuals with one comment! Your argument is stupid. If someone repeatedly injects their foot fetish into unrelated conversations and I write a comment of a similar nature about the foot fetish material, does it really take someone to make me write about it? No, it doesn’t, I’m entitled to say what I want about it, and it’s reasonable to bring up the issue at hand.
How else do you want me to address it? Jfc.
People who identify as dragons or wolves cause the same kind of harm as “I identify as an attack helicopter” jokes. You are delegitimizing HUMAN gender issues so you can fictionally identify with a fictional creature.

Every time I see you refer to yourself that way, I want to gouge my eyes out.
Firstly, we don’t consent to engaging with your dragon kink. I’ve seen your comments that reaffirm that this is the core of your ‘identity’. Your screen name is another clear example. Leave us out of this “Dragon Rider” nonsense - I don’t care what your kinks are, keep it private without consent.
Second, why do you still use third person perspective here? Your bio clearly states that “Drag” works in the first, second, and third person, so why leave it in third person instead of speaking about yourself in first person? You are writing in english, right? Or is this Dragspeak/Dragtongue/[some other fantasy bullshit]?
If you’re going to make up rules, put on an act, then submit everyone else to it, at least try thinking through it for longer than a few seconds. I get the feeling you never properly considered how poorly “Drag” works in first person. “Drag keep Dragself happy by exposing unconsenting strangers to Drag own dragon kinks!” Perhaps that’s part of it: adopting a lizard’s attention span.

I think it’s a genius solution to the explicity problem, but a terrible solution in a larger scope. There are many animals that feed on mosquitos, and they would suffer from massive decreases in mosquito population. This includes birds, frogs, bats, fish, and other insects (many aquatic animals eat mosquito larvae). I would hate to see a cascading reduction in animal populations as a result of these tactics.
- Comment on Horrors We've Unleashed 5 weeks ago:
The idea is to introduce this genetic expression into wild mosquito populations. That way, the inevitable act of mosquito reproduction lowers the next generation’s population size.

+1, very much enjoying using keyboard for Tekken. Haven’t had much luck with games like SF that might require 360/720 inputs.
- Comment on PC gaming fan Steven Spielberg says he "can't do controllers," prefers keyboard and mouse 1 month ago:
I can handle any action game, platformer, etc. using a controller, despite heavily preferring a keyboard and mouse. I still can’t play FPS/TPS games on a controller… it has to be m&k.

- Comment on Tripling renewables globally by 2030 is doable, says new IEA report 1 month ago:
I really hope to see more developments in the realm of gravity batteries. In many cases they are not geographically constrained, given that it only requires vertical space and mass. Ideally, the land already has high variation in elevations, but the storage capacity can still be increased in areas with little vertical space by increasing the mass of the weight being lifted/lowered.
I’m sure you know this, but for curious readers: pumped hydro is also a gravity battery, but it requires two bodies of water at differing elevation. This means it’s limited to coastal areas and places like dams. It’s also limited by the smaller capacity reservoir between the two bodies of water; the amount of water moved cannot exceed the maximum capacity of the upper body, nor can it exceed the extra capacity of the resevoir of the upper body.

A small and simple semi-idle frog collecting game where you simply collect rare frogs and let them generate buckaroos so you can collect rarer frogs. There’s a free demo that got me hooked to occasionally logging on and collecting more frogs.
