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.
It also has the benefit of being able to apply the vast majority of Ubuntu tutorials, etc. since it's based on it. Plus it doesn't force you to use snaps for everything.
It's no fun though. I had an old tracker that the clutch cable broke on. It was my only vehicle and it took a couple weeks for the replacement to come in. Switching between gears was okay once I got the hang of matching RPM. Starting, however, required me to turn the engine off at every stop, putting it in first, then letting the starter pull the car along a few feet until the engine was turning fast enough to run. It was a miracle I didn't burn the starter up. Thank god I lived in a pretty rural area and only had a few stops between home and work.
Overall, I'd rate driving manual without a clutch 1/10.
For a company, it's essential to be able to monitor/review employee communications for legal/compliance reasons. That said, while you should assume that any communication made with your official email/slack/teams/whatever can be seen by the company if it needs to be (e.g. somebody sues for something, even something potentially unrelated to you, that creates a need to search for relevant records), it's unlikely that Slack is actively reporting your conversations to your boss.
As others have said, if you don't want your company to see something you're saying, don't say it at work or on their platforms. In the U.S. at least, you have no expectation of privacy at work. If you're worried about something you've already said, you might just be screwed. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
At least among the folks in my circles, in addition to the many fine answers already given, it refers to an irl action that is completely idiotic/unhinged that you're doing for laughs (either your own or those around you).
Arrrr suite feeding jellyfin.
