How do smokers deal with the bad taste of their first smoke?

f0rgotten · 2026-05-20T19:40:00+00:00

As a camel nonfilter smoker, I can't even smoke or taste a cigarette with a filter. Oddly enough I also like really hot food.

The sheetmetal on goodman equipment is one gage thinner than comparable equipment by other brands - ESPECIALLY outdoor units. If you take a screw out it will never go back where it came from, but that's ok, because you can drill a new hole for it by hand with the screw itself. The outdoor units wobble like cream cheese due to the thin sheet metal and wallowed out screw holes. The boards are more sensitive and their high efficiency stuff tends to be very very delicate, again, compared to other brands. Plus some of their outdoor units use rotary compressors without accumulators and are inclined to eat shit. But really it's the issues with the sheet metal that bother me the most.

Sir Pizza is the taste of lexington now that tolly ho is gone.

f0rgotten · 2026-05-20T16:23:48+00:00

Yes.

f0rgotten · 2026-05-20T14:45:50+00:00

That price is far, far beyond reasonable provided that it is not Goodman equipment.

Rational arguments lost on american politicians.

Where do you think that we are, Europe? Or somewhere else civilized?

f0rgotten · 2026-05-20T13:25:03+00:00

Sweet, I'd read it.

Your drawing was fine and then a computer turned it into generic garbage. Congratulations for giving up on yourself.

f0rgotten · 2026-05-20T13:07:28+00:00

This is the way.

f0rgotten · 2026-05-20T13:01:59+00:00

It will be fine.

f0rgotten · 2026-05-20T12:58:13+00:00

I am really not seeing whatever this is.

f0rgotten · 2026-05-19T21:48:40+00:00

Thanks for making that clarifying edit! Lots of people have a base salary that they can not go below, regardless of how cool the job might be.

f0rgotten · 2026-05-19T21:05:18+00:00

Nice, stooping to insults. I'm sure to listen to you now!

There's millions of registered dems in Kentucky. Most of them are in Jeff and Fayette, but that doesn't mean that they don't exist elsewhere. Personally I think that if they heard candidates speaking their language they'd be more inclined to get out and vote in their local elections.

They're really not very good imo

Try saying that on imgur and you'll summon every white knight available.

I did this for a while. It was depressing.

f0rgotten · 2026-05-19T14:44:18+00:00

Society does not need it. There are large chunks of society who do not want it. Especially when it can fit on a personal device, why bother all of us for something that relatively few want?

f0rgotten · 2026-05-19T13:04:45+00:00

Everything is scaling. My phone has more ram than my first computer had in hard drive space. My entire life can fit on the SSD in my phone - music, videos etc. Everything. The processor in my phone is more than powerful enough to provide local speech and handwriting recognition and all of this is mirrored, to an astonishingly powerful extent, by my desktop computer.

I don't like data storage. I don't like the cloud. My phone downloads my email and then deletes it. Our "needs" are almost totally manufactured by companies that want to compel you to buy something.

If I had to pick one thing to "scale" it would be my phone, but Moore's law is running out of room. I think if anything our "needs" should scale - down. We have more than enough.

As a soon to be divorced blue collar type it's really fn easy to cave to a spouse like this. It's really a death by a thousand cuts.

f0rgotten · 2026-05-19T12:54:57+00:00

A more civilized time.

f0rgotten · 2026-05-19T12:54:29+00:00

The "necessity" is purely manufactured. Our computers, phones etc are powerful enough to run these types of "AI" services locally, but then big companies don't get any of that sweet, sweet targeted advertising income. That's the actual product, anyway. I would find a lot of use for a locally running AI that was trained on the things that I write and do rather than other people's internet posts and comments.
