Comment This is Good - Vaping is Harmless (Score 4, Insightful) 144

Show me one case where someone has been harmed by vaping. And exclude the back alley THC oils that caused EVALI and home made vape devices that shorted and exploded. Those are edge cases and not what's on the shelf at Tobacco Hut. If vaping was inherently harmful, we'd know it by now.

Cigarettes, on the other hand, are basically 100% fatal. Yeah, they said 2 out of three. Both of my parents died from COPD caused by smoking.

If you're reading this and you smoke, switch to vaping immediately. It's easy.

that you admit to actually reading those ads and proactively clicking just for the sake of supporting the rotten business behind them is truly remarkable. my mind just exploded a bit. keep it up! :-)

Even worse, I sometimes actually click the link on YouTube video ads so the creator can get the extra $0.00000001 revenue.

Do your part. If we all hate advertisers then make them pay up and support something you like.

Comment How about investigating... (Score 2) 59

How about investigating how Amazon is forcing a data center into my small town by paying off town officials and buying their way through the approval process, despite overwhelming protest by residents. We get an eyesore data center as the centerpiece of our town and entire neighborhoods bulldozed for their 230kv power line.

I use an ad-blocker because the web is basically unusable without one. I want sites I use to get ad revenue. I read the ads, and I click on ones that interest me in hopes that my lack of tracker blocking will help them deliver more relevant ads. But it just doesn't work. It's like they think we'll buy their product if they make us hate them enough.

Comment Re:Should come as no big surprise... (Score 2) 62

My Dad was a EE and spent his career designing ECMs and radars for military aircraft. He always said, "Don't worry about the EM radiation - it drops at the square of the distance and you're fine."

Then whenever he turned on the microwave oven, he'd leave the kitchen until it was finished.
