did he ask for the dude to go and buy a new bag of the special beans?

Depending on the bean, it might not be available.

The Bean Club is sold out and has a massive waitlist, and some of the more prized beans available for sale to non-members can sell out pretty quickly when they become available.

My roommate ate my beans so I went to his Baldur Gate Three game and threw every item of his inventory down a cliff, and saved over his prior saves?

Didn’t we learn during the pandemic you should never jeopardize the beans?

There isn't a single save file, every time you hit f5 to quicksave it creates one, and there are autosaves too. He lost ten minutes of work tops because you can just reload the next save in the list.

This was on a PS5. If you go into your inventory you can hit square on any item, a menu appears. One of the options is "drop item". When back in the world, you can highlight the item, hit square, and one of the options is "Throw". If you are by a cliff and at the right angle you can throw an item (or an enemy) over the cliff. It did not take me long to figure out, maybe you should play more.

In fact this experience made me want to play the game myself, there are so many options for what it allows you to do.

I remember when you could smoke basically anywhere except in the hospital or doctors office. Restaurants, malls, grocery stores, it didn't matter. Need to smoke in the car in the winter with your kids in the car? Smoke away! The worst was when we would have family get togethers and there would be 10 adults chain smoking in a small house and your eyes would burn and the air was choked thick with smoke.

It wasn't until ten or fifteen years later that I realized that her parents didn't smoke, while mine did.

The reason all the color photographs you see from the 1970s all look like they were shot through some kind of sepia filter is because literally every indoor surface in every building was covered by a thin film of sticky yellowish nicotine/tar gunk, it was that pervasive.

Also, every photo from the 1970s has multiple ashtrays visible in it.

When they started to ban smoking in public spaces in the 1980s, some of the greatest resistance came from bar and restaurant owners who predicted it would decimate their businesses. In reality, their businesses flourished because people were more willing to go out to places where they could breathe and also not come home with all their clothes stinking like smoke.

My pet theory is that the emergence of "foodie" culture in America in the 80s/90s and all that entailed (celebrity chefs, wider proliferation of interesting ethnic restaurants, etc.) largely stemmed from the fact that people weren't completely destroying their taste buds as a matter of habit.

And then there were the days where you'd walk into a restaurant and they'd ask "smoking or non-smoking?" and the difference was literally one side of the building or the other. The smoke was everywhere regardless.

I grew up with parents who smoked in the house, car, everywhere. I never realized just how much everything in that house reeked of smoke, including me and my brother, until I left for college and wasn't constantly in an environment where everything smelled like smoke.

Thankfully, my mom finally banned smoking in the house after she hosted my cousin's kids when they were in town to see a friend, and heard through back channels that they came home reeking of smoke. She then decided to clean the curtains in the living room, took them down, and they were saturated with brown sludge to the point that they had to be thrown away.

My mom smoked in the house a ton, teachers would regularly stop me and ask if I was smoking cigarettes. Even when I smoked I didn't smoke in the house. I did smoke in the car until someone pointed out that my kids also ride in that car and it was bad for them. I had never even thought of it before. Now I don't smoke but I do miss looking cool.

State-wide bans on smoking in the US started in the mid-90's and yes, some of the biggest pushback was bar owners and politicians talking about how it would ruin small businesses and drive investment to other states. A few months after the ban in New York was passed, I was chatting with a distant relative who owns a bar in upstate New York so of course a natural question was how it was working out.

He said the state-wide smoking ban was one of the best things that had ever happened to his bar: The smokers who go out drinking stayed away for a couple weeks before coming back because hey turns out they still needed somewhere to drink, while the bans let them attract a whole new crowd of people who just wanted a quick beer after work with co-workers or enjoyed darts/billiards, but would never have come when it was a smoke-filled room.

When I was in grade school, they would host bingo on Thursday nights as a fundraising thing. The old guy who ran it would start setting up in the afternoon, while school was still in session, and he would be smoking a huge cigar the entire time. This wasn't a big building, and he easily stunk up the entire school within a half hour.

That was the unmistakable smell of Thursday afternoon.

Take 1 tablet by mouth daily.
The bar across the street from me is about 90? years old, and somehow grandfathered in to allow smoking. Their non-smoking section became their takeout area during Covid. At some point in there I quit smoking, and now when I go there I come home smelling awful and feeling like I had been smoking myself. It's gross. At least they got rid of the cups of free cigs you could ask the bartender for. I love the place but i'm sure that a LOT of their business is being one of the two or three bars here where you can still smoke.

Moralists don't really *have* beliefs. Sometimes they stumble on one, like on a child's toy left on the carpet. The toy must be put away immediately. And the child reprimanded.

When my mom was a child she was hospitalized due to her severe asthma. Her parents and the doctor stood outside of her oxygen tent, cigarettes in hand, discussing what could possibly be causing so many issues with her breathing. They didn't reach a conclusion.

I grew up during the transition from "Smoking or Non-Smoking" to eventually Massachusetts becoming one of the stricter states regarding smoking (Like, no flavored nicotine products, not even menthols level smoking bans), and it was a bit surreal for me to go to a cigar bar in Portsmouth, NH and smoke in a business establishment. Didn't hate it, but it's not something I'd do regularly.
