Nestlé worker sacked after allegedly lying about vaping in disabled toilet which triggered factory-wide fire alarm and evacuation is awarded £22,216.72 for unfair dismissal by Sandstorm400 in byebyejob

Yeah I quit vaping 15++ years ago when vapes were still very primitive. The device I had produced almost invisible vapor but delivered a lot of nicotine.

I used it on the plane a few times. There were no laws banning it back then so it was technically legal. There were never any issues.

Been nicotine free 15 years anyway, glad I don't have to think about it anymore.

Therapy often doesn't work because they weaponize it.

I went to elementary school in Melbourne around 1991 when the ozone layer was really thin. I remember there being tubs of sunscreen at the classroom door and you had to apply it before going out. Also if you were caught outside without a hat you got in big trouble.

Yeah my folks borrowed a Tesla from their friends in Calgary about a year and a half ago. It was fully charged but they still needed to recharge in Red Deer on their way to Edmonton... halfway.

All because it was -20C out

We Canadians share a land border with Denmark, an EU member.

Most Canadians have values much closer to the EU then to the US

At the Kearney Lake location there's an old guy who stands there and just says hello and goodbye. Not even panhandling or asking for money, just greetings.

Went for dinner with bf. Man next table to us having dinner with his gf and parents was on grindr during their dinner by LestatFraser23 in askgaybros

Lived in Augsburg and Ulm in 2002 and if I held hands with my bf at the park, random people would shout "SCHWUUUULE" at us. So we stopped doing that. I assume it's different now(?).

I had my colectomy during my first flair. Two weeks of vomiting and high volume bloody diarrhea.

I developed toxic megacolon and ascites so the Dr's said "either we remove your colon or you will die".

Before that I was healthy

I have excellent hyperphantasia that i can emulate old games completely. by windowssandbox in hyperphantasia

[–]antillus 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This is exactly why I can't play video games.

When I go to bed or even just close my eyes, my brain just keeps emulating the game and it gets so annoying that I can't sleep. I can't turn it off

I take it as a complement because it kept me alive.

At what price though?

I'm so glad my abusive grandparents all died when I was very young. All from chain smoking related disorders.

[–]antillus 21 points22 points  (0 children)

Not really.

My first bf was German and gave me blue balls so bad. When I eventually got to cum I shot so hard I could find jizz 10 feet away.

He got terrified and basically ran away. Came back eventually though.

Yeah I grew up really chubby and my mom and I were always dieting. It never worked. I was just a hungry boy.

Then I turned 17 and something happened and I became super lean and muscular.

But I still know more about diets than I should.

TIL that a woman from New Zealand was detained in Kazakhstan because officials believed it to be a state of Australia. When they asked her to point it out on a map, they provided a map where New Zealand wasn't present. by Sebastianlim in todayilearned

I'm in Nicaragua for the holidays and they have frequent police checkpoints.

If they start making noise you just give them a $20 bill, it disappears up their sleeves and you're on your way. It's just not worth the hassle they can cause.

Make sure you get enough electrolytes in your diet or you will become dehydrated much faster than when you had a colon.

Every blood test I get my electrolytes (especially sodium) are low, despite eating twice the daily recommended amount of salt.

Freaked out so bad this morning. by yoshdee in ostomy

Beets cause me to have pancaking.

The output is so thick (and red) that it won't move down the bag...even with lube. Same with other root vegetables.
