    Fitgirl doesn't crack, just repacks. The crack was by voice38, which is what Fitgirl's repack is based off of.

    She's been sacked for not protecting the known child rapist in the White House enough. I'm confused why people are celebrating. Do people think the Pedophile-in-Chief is going to put someone in...

    Do people think the Pedophile-in-Chief is going to put someone in place that does a worse job and releases more info?

    Chewing nicotine gum doesn't simulate smoking any more than it does vaping, so why would that only be an option for one and not the other?

    While the focus is on nicotine, the study mentions that the cause of the lung and oral cancer isn't likely to be just from nicotine, but the other things in vapes as well.

    Physiological evidence of exposure using biomarkers reveals DNA damage correlated with vape-derived metabolites attributable to carcinogens including nicotine-derived nitrosamines, volatile organic compounds, flavour-derived agents, and certain metals. Biomarkers also indicate vaping-attributable oxidative stress, epigenetic change and inflammation in oral and respiratory tissue often specified in comparison with smoking.

    It's almost like inhaling anything but normal air is bad for you.

    Curious for the same reason. Perhaps there is more to it and this is more an excuse to oust a CEO, but two pilots died due to a tragic accident caused by an overworked air traffic controller as a result of the United States' continued downward spiral and this guy is losing his job because he didn't fumble through a condolences video shot in a language he does not speak?

    2. Will make it a point to set aside time to watch this. House of Leaves is easily one of if not my favorite fiction work. When the first time I read it, I was just so captivated by it that I read it non-stop over 2 days and I remember forgetting to eat during that time. Recall finishing it and wondering why the hell I was so hungry.

    We don't and we can't. The numbers mustn't always go up, the demand needn't always increase, there is nothing actually requiring doing this. Next question.

    Saving this to discuss with and send to my local councilperson, as local government is infinitely more involved in direct impacts to your life than the top levels that get the most attention.

    Can't say this is immediately my favorite song, but I do love their sound. Got their Bandcamp pulled up to check out the rest of their stuff. Nice find.
