I want to use this: http://smile.amazon.com/Fintie-Bluetooth-Wireless-Multimedia-Smartphones/dp/B00WFXWKY4/ to control a teleprompter app on an android tablet. I assume this thing shoots keyboard commands. The teleprompter app receives keyboard commands. I'd need to re-map the keys this thing shoots. I assume it shoots system-level keys (volume up/down, track next/prev). Can I make this thing do what I want?

On smoking or more importantly nicotine as commonly ingested. One difference between nictotine and other stuff (like food and drink), is that nicotine is insanely fast acting. The association one can have with caffeine and headaches is very vague is largely only intellectual because 10-15 minutes between cause and effect is not easily associated. Headaches often spontaneously resolve in that time frame anyway. Nicotine inhaled happens now, so the training is direct and immediate.

Ecigs have none of that stuff and they're identical in sensation as far as I can tell. Maybe vaping is just the optimal delivery method. It also sounds like bullshit. Urea is a preservative that helps keep tobacco moist and "flavourful" and probably comes from a lab (ammonia + co2 = urea) when used in cigarettes. That's not to say it doesn't improve nicotine delivery, or that it's sketchy to put chemicals like that in poo poo you consume, I'm just sceptical that this is "freebasing" and that some manufacturers are somehow worse than others.

Look I read about this on the internet but seriously try an additive free Natural American Spirit, it's garbage compared to a marb, or vaping, those chemicals are in there for a reason and apparently they are increasing the levels. If I've got bad info this won't be the first time but I think I heard it in NPR as well and you can't impugn them, ever. Anyway as scare tactics go, this is a pretty good one. Scared of those American Spirit that is. Rather suck the robot penis.

That stuff is probably way healthier and definitely less addictive but there is something lacking in cigs with no additives.

Turtlicious posted:Freak the filter, American Spirits have a really lovely draw. This OHSU - 2003 posted:"Since scientists have shown that a drug becomes more addictive when it is delivered to the brain more rapidly," Pankow continued, "free-base nicotine levels in cigarette smoke thus are at the heart of the controversy regarding the tobacco industry's use of additives like ammonia and urea, as well as blending choices in cigarette design." A 1997 Pankow study resulted in the first public-domain report linking ammonia additives with increased free-base nicotine levels. is what I'm talking about. And lol, American Spirit is one of the brands listed along with Winston, marb, camels, et al so my bad on that. This isn't accidental and shouldn't be a secret, imo. http://www.ohsu.edu/xd/about/news_events/news/2003/07-24-ohsu-researcher-publishe.cfm

What was the british comedy (may have been sci-fi) show where everybody was killed off in the last episodes/season (presumably) to prevent a show revival?

Red Dwarf maybe? At the end of the sixth series, all of the characters died instead of becoming time-travelling shitlords who regularly had dinner with the Goerings and dined on suckling dolphin, because one of the co-creators wanted to quit the series to pursue other things. They rebooted it anyway 4 years later. It sucked.

I can only think of Blackadder too, but it isn't scifi and it wasn't to prevent a revival. (Each season is set in a completely different historical era so it wouldn't matter if anyone died.)

The show was set in World War I. the last scene of the last episode was all the main characters of the show going over the top of their trench into German machine gun fire. I guess it could be rebooted because of the limited continuity between the series' but it was pretty final in that series. Memento fucked around with this message at 06:25 on Oct 26, 2015 |

Christ, smoking. When you do get your fix it's just like a wave of intense relaxation rolling down your spine and through your body. I've been quit for about 4 years now (barring 2 single-cig relapses at my last lovely job) and I still get cravings every now and then. I used to go out for a smoke when I couldn't sleep, it helped settle my mind so I didn't just stare at the ceiling alone with my thoughts for hours on end. I still get the urge whenever I can't sleep these days.

I made it through 2011/2012 vaping and several odd months of cold turkey since then.  Now I'm on the twice a day cigarillo (walk or bike to the store) program. It uh, isn't really working but I envy real quitters.

Thanks for the smoking stories, everyone. I have to say, I'm really glad I never started smoking, not just because of the health risks but because I already find my need for caffeine interrupts my life enough as it is.

This should be fun: I'm 26, college-educated, have about 75k saved up, and want to quit my job and start new somewhere. Maybe buy a house somewhere and get roommates and just completely start a new. I have American and European citizenship and I'd like to avoid major metropolitan areas. With only this information, where would you suggest?

People do that all the time, you just have more savings than most. I mean if your idea is "move somewhere and get a couple roommates", may I suggest anywhere ever? You gotta be more specific. (I'm not trying to be lovely, I know what you mean, but one person might love the idea of an off-the-grid hut on a Pacific island, while another might hate that and want to try a year in Prague, while another might hate that and want to live in a Vermont hippie commune, and so on and so on).

Someone I worked with said 10 years after they last quit smoking they still went home and dreamed about having a cigarette, as opposed to having daydreams about being rich or whatever. Addiction is a bitch in general, because recreational/social drugs actually work, but smoking is probably the worst of all. Addiction to something that works like nicotine does, gives instant feedback, and only has really, really long term drawbacks makes it almost unbelievably difficult to imagine how someone could ever quit. I guess enormous social pressure can do its part, but making sure no ever starts really the only long-term, effective solution, it seems. For those who can quit, congratulations. "They" say that quitting chewing tobacco is harder but I know a bunch of people who dipped for years and managed to quit on a dime when they went to a place where they could not find it. The only real problem with stopping is that the regular morning "put in a dip and take a dump" kind of goes away replaced by having to poop at some random time in the morning. Regular fIrst thing morning dumps = the actual reason for dipping, apparently.

kapalama posted:Blake's 7 is another British sci-fi that had everyone dying at the end My money is on this. Not only did they kill all the characters from the current series; they also brought back characters that we thought had been written out, just to make sure that absolutely everybody was dead. I am surprised they didn't set fire to the sets in the last scene, just to make sure. Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy also killed off everyone in the last book - but we'd all given up caring about them three books previously, so they were effectively dead anyway.

I really don't feel like smoking anymore after 3 years of quiting, one year and a half of those taking lozenges and 1 year more on tic-tacs (that kind of tasted the same but no nicotine of course) except maybe for the 5 or 6 occasions when I dreamed I was smoking and felt really guilty to be back at smoking before fully waking up. Oh and the dreams were mostly textbook falling out of the wagon: I would make a excuse for myself to smoke just one cigarette and later just one pack. I still smoke tobacco on occasion when it's my friend's hookah with some peach tasting tobacco.

You're correct because Blackadder Back & Forth is set in modern times iirc. Rather than as a cut and burn end to the series, it was more of a poignant reflection on WW1 imo. Blackadder dies in all the series except the 3rd, so it wasn't a massive departure from form.
