Its more possible devops guys had access to something like AWS secrets or API tokens or some tool that generates API tokens or access to CI/CD which could grab access to one of the above

Geforce Now is still a thing

I thought that was pretty cool.

There definitely are patterns to it! It may just be alot of patterns shifting intensely that the thing as a whole doesn't feel rhythmic

Creating better AI media like movies/shorts/ads

Could be useful for creating media dont you think? AI movies have gotten pretty good. Visually there stunning and its the voice now I mostly find unnatural

Theres a simple explanation! Our brains recognize these patterns in everyday life and thus associate them to certain events weve experienced that employed the same or similar patterns of thinking

A fast BPM song alone would be indicative of events where things are happening fast and quickly.

Ive had this exact thought from my maxillofacial surgery recommended by an orthodontist, but the same applies for cosmetic/any elective surgeries as well.

The only person you consult with is the doctor/surgeon, who has all the incentive to downplay the risks. Their benefit is both financial and ramping up their resume

Im too old now to dedicate my life to an MMO but man Runescape was/is such an amazing game Im excited to see what they do with it

I think you read my comments as some self assured statement or argument whereas I was genuinely asking questions.

I dont doubt given an equal amount of vaping to equal amount of smoking, vaping is far healthier. But to what end? Is smoking 1 cigarette a day worse than vaping 2-3ml of 50mg/ml nicotine? How about 3-4?

Of course it helps you focus. Thats a known fact. Its incredible you can do only few puffs every hour or two. No judgement from me.

I think you misread. I am saying vaping 5x the amount of nicotine is far worse mentally. Even if smoking 3-4 a day is worse physically, if I am going to do one or the other, I rather smoke 3-4 a day.

But in general I am saying, even for the quitting smoking/vaping ad campaigns there is not enough emphasis put on how dramatically it reduces your quality of life. Its always about dying of cancer or heart disease and living shorter amount of time 20-40 years down the line. I mean shit in a lot of cases I rather die at 70 than live to 80. Youll feel better EVERY day in a month is a muucch stronger motivation for me.

Keep in mind 5x the dose is relative to being a pack a day smoker. We're talking 20x if it means smoking 4-5x a day.

Then there is the negative effects of I dunno how many multiples of volume of vape in your throat and lungs, which I assume is non-zero even though I personally believe its 100x better than burning tobacco.

Then there is the question of what that much nicotine does to you mentally, which is equally, if not more important. To put it in perspective, I usually wake up feeling pretty good, with some hopes and dreams of what Ill be doing that day, and Ill take a puff and immediately want to go back to bed for another hour. I cant sit in meetings for more than 5 mins or have conversations with people if it means I cant be vaping. Its like basing your whole life based on whether you get your fix of nicotine or not. Work from office? I don't think so buddy...every ten minutes Id have to go to the bathroom/outside. I seriously wonder where my life would have been if I never picked up this habit.

We'll see in another 10-20 years I suppose.

Good dude, good ole days. These modern vapes are all from the same tobacco companies, hence the craziness. Cant fight em? Join em.

Instead of having to sell cigarettes with throat cancer on the label, they get to make all this colorful brands with an even more insane nicotine delivery system with the "health benefit" of quitting smoking...

Dont ever ever try this crap.

If you smoke enough you get over the terrible feeling in your throat and the smell, but those effects are definitely bad enough that they act as a meaningful deterrent to wanting to smoke more.

If I smoke a cigarette now Ill usually regret it cause Ill be thinking about the terrible taste in my mouth the next 20 mins.

Vaping? Its like eating fucking candy with a million different flavors to try when youre bored of one
