I'm curious, if you don't mind weighing in a little further, do you mean that you're not currently worried about contracting bird flu or do you mean that you're not worried about the potential of this strain to become transmissible between humans.

As a lay person who's been following the outbreak for almost 3 years now, it seems that the goal posts for concern have been continually moving.

Congratulations! I got my other ear pierced early in my transition (one was already pierced and just needed stretched). The best advice is to leave them the hell alone other than maybe saline solution. If you're like me, you're going to want to wear all those cute/dangly earrings you see everywhere now. Resist that urge as best you can. Give it time and let them heal. It can take up to a year for your piercings to fully heal and every time you change your earrings before that process is complete, you add time to the clock.

That's kind of a no brainer then. Amazon already has your money, might as well get something from it.

I try to avoid Amazon for my personal shopping, but I've bought literally hundreds of renewed/refurbished laptops and Chromebooks on Amazon for work. I have not had a single DOA or switcheroo in over 200 laptops from different sellers except one that has a broken screen, which was ready to return. You are very likely not throwing your money away by buying via Amazon, though that doesn't mean it's necessarily the best place to buy.

Same here. Fuck the naysayers who say cold turkey or nothing. Do what works for you.

For OP: One caveat to the vape plan is you'll likely need to get a vape that's refillable so you can customize the nicotine level. Juul/vuse/disposables typically only come in one, or at best, 2 nicotine levels, which prevents effective tapering.

Also, don't fall into the trap of vaping places you wouldn't have smoked (e.g. in your house/car). That can increase your nicotine dependency.

Good luck!

If you haven't seen it yet, I can't recommend Midnight Mass highly enough! Probably my favorite horror/spooky thing ever. Best to go in blind, I think. It's not a mystery per se, but figuring out what's going on is part of the fun for sure.

OSes are for losers. Anyone who isn't braindead runs a homebrew array of 555 chips running handwritten binary. Fuckin noobs.

Here's the list of devices supported by fprint

For non -standalone readers, you'll have to look up the actual fingerprint reader embedded within it.

Edit: it looks like this is a Bluetooth keyboard. My guess is it's highly unlikely to work with Linux as a fingerprint reader.

Yup. I've gone unmedicated for 10+ years as a result. I'll take the highs/lows of hashimoto's over ending up in the ER with my heart pounding out of my chest any day of the week.

It's impossible for me listen to someone arguing in favor of eugenics without hearing, "we've gotta get rid of those people- you know the ones in talking about, right?" Fuck that noise.

It's always some narcissistic asshole who thinks they're the prototype for a new master race.
