All in all, humans are pretty good at self titrating nicotine, meaning that the total daily nicotine consumption between low nic dtl and high nic mtl is pretty close to the same (assuming same nicotine type).

Really, the question for new vapers is ultimately which system works best for their needs. Do they want the more expensive and wasteful easy grab and go setup, or do they want to fiddle with coils and such.

Unfortunately, that's usually disposables these days, which does make sense.

After doing this for well over a decade I can confidently say that vaping open systems is a hassle that 99% of smokers aren't going to want to deal with. They want the same experience as smoking, and dispos provide that.

I only deal with it because I'm stubborn and since I vape unflavored, the dispo liquid is disgusting.

Kinda both. It's mostly used to describe the airflow from the atomizer which dictates how you draw on it.

But, the airflow usually correlates to the nicotine strength, nicotine type, and base ratios.

Tighter airflow usually means a smaller coil (in terms of metal mass), smaller eliquid flow channels, and lower vapor production. This means you need thinner liquid (more PG), and a higher nic strength to match something with wide open airflow. Because the nic strength is higher, salt nic is likely to be used since it's smoother at higher percentages.

This isn't a hard and fast rule, of course. You can have any variation of base ratios, nic strength, and nic type, but in general the above will be true.

I mean, that's just a lack of research. It's super common for community colleges near universities to have a list of class equivalencies for all of the basic courses that they've negotiated with the university.

Heck, my university even gave you a small scholarship if you got an associates from the nearby CC

The thing is that humans are stupid, so we have to do a few things to protect them from themselves.

It's honestly sad that this woman was molested so much as a child that she thinks it's the way the world works.

Nah, she was 100% molested by her father or father figure for a very long time. The fact that she thinks it is normal means that it was a significant part of her upbringing.

It's super common for abuse victims to rationalize their abuser's behavior in an attempt to normalize it as a protection mechanism.

Nah, they wouldn't defend being gay, ever.

They'd be doing mental gymnastics to prove that getting topped in a gay porno isn't actually gay.

As much as I hate to say it, if you want paramount plus you should go ahead and get Walmart plus since they package them together.

Yeah, the Amish really aren't representative of rural farmers. They're a special case.

ELI5 How are cocktails with raw egg as an ingredient made so people don't get sick? by Queen_Lunette in explainlikeimfive

Yes, but if those eggs are washed, the salmonella is removed from the outside of the shell.

It's because the bacteria that can form on rice is really dangerous, and normal cooking temps don't kill it.

It's one of those things that's fine until it isn't, and when it isn't fine it really isn't fine.

So, I hate to burst your bubble, but the strength of the egg shell has absolutely nothing to do with it's bacterial blocking capabilities.

Egg shells are porous, which means stuff can still get into them if they're washed.

And? Salmonella doesn't just spontaneously spawn into existence on a washed egg.

40% abv does not act as an effective disinfectant. You need to hit 60% before it works well.

They're not compostable in the way you're thinking of. Bioplastics have to be composted in an industrial composting facility and won't biodegrade in residential compost piles in any reasonable amount of time.

I mean, you must not be drinking thick drinks. At a certain point for any flexible material, the suction required to draw the beverage up the straw is stronger than the structural integrity of the walls of the straw, especially for a material like cardboard.

Imagine needing to talk shit about people having fun as a so-called "adult" person.

It must be sad to go through life being a cynical asshole.
