I've read all the issues of the new Hawkeye and loved it, was definitely one of the best titles I'd come across cold. It's a really humanizing take on Clint Barton - if you haven't read it, I hope you enjoy it!

I want to cut the tabacco part of smoking out of my life, and I recently bought the eroll vapour cigarette.



I've been using it for over a week, and have gone from about a pack a day to having smoked eight or ten smokes in the past nine days. It's not the same, but when you don't stink and what you're inhaling tastes like candy and you can be warm in bed and still nicking, it's pretty great.

What's the draw like, and how much vapor does it produce?

Take the cocoa mix, add a bunch of sugar, powder coffee (if it came with any) and a bit of water. Mix well with spoon provided and enjoy.

Yeah it's linear. They work great if you can find one that's been treated well. Bang & Olufsen are great, but the cartridges are just so drat expensive.

Do you know how to play already? I've had one sitting around for a few years and decided to pick it up and learn. It is difficult, but I'm learning from youtube videos, so...

I play a little guitar, but I had never played the banjo before.

I'm coming along pretty decently watching these bluegrass tutorials. My only advice is to make sure you are really solid playing with the right hand before you try anything on the left.

The initial cost on a "good" pair of jeans can be off-putting when you're used to spending $20 on Wranglers at Wal-Mart, but nice, expensive selvedge denim is meant to be worn day-in and day-out for basically several years straight, so it's a bit cheaper if you look at it that way. You can also easily find N&F on sale for ~$100 if you aren't too picky about what style you want. I paid $125 or so for the Regular Guys I've been wearing for something like fifteen months now, they're sick.

How do these brands compare to the likes of Levis? (The ones bought on the online store, if that makes any difference.)
