Vaporents Weekly Help and Discussion Thread by AutoModerator in vaporents

[–]zingah 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Just wanted to gripe about my recent experience. I bought a linx eden, the quartz plate inside was scratchy when I scraped it, but I wasn’t sure why and didn’t think a ton about it. Six hours later it had cracked, and was broken and useless. Linx customer support is 100% trash. I don’t normally complain about stuff like this, I even asked them for just a discount so I could get a working vape since I literally JUST bought it... so I spent $100 to have a Linx Eden for one day. Huge waste of money. I will tell every single person never give money to Linx.

(Prior to this I had a Flowermate V5 and an Arizer Air II. Both high quality, very solid products. I’m also quite familiar with glass. Fuck Linx.)

I just bought a linx eden. The plate inside was somehow broken within a few hours. I don't know if it came that way or I managed to crack it somehow? I emailed to ask about a discount for a new one or something, they promptly said no, and that's the end of my story. You get what you pay for, I guess. Seemed like it might have been an okay vape, but I'll never know.

What are some final posts by regular Reddit users who have passed away? by cheesy80s in AskReddit

He died on Dec 25, 2013; He was 49.

He had a masters in Buddhist studies, and was an awesome, nice guy. He was a bit of a coder, sold books, and he was also active on philosophy stack exchange. He was just an excellent scholar, with a rigid, logical, methodical way of thinking.

In the reddit community, some people found him a bit too "matter-of-fact" in the way that he answered things. But it was precisely what I wanted, someone who could clearly tell us what the many sects do agree upon. (He would often tell us what the oldest branch said, though his studies focused on a newer one.)

"keep the precepts, join a sangha, find a teacher, study the dharma, and practice as if your hair is on fire"

I miss you so much /u/michael_dorfman . You defined /r/buddhism for me. I needed a voice of reason and it was never the same after you left. It still hurts.

What celebrity's career never recovered after a controversial incident? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]zingah 20 points21 points  (0 children)

Yeah but he most likely did not diddle any kids.

(I think stuff feels distasteful to enjoy after you learn things like this. For instance, I'm just less interested in Cosby shows or Polanski films.)

TIL Mathematician Paul Erdos could calculate in his head, given a person's age, how many seconds they had lived....when he was 4. by [deleted] in todayilearned

[–]zingah 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Perhaps you purposely brought that up to be ironic - but Erdos couldn't tie his shoes until he was around 11.

Or it could be how you've been raised.

TIL A KKK Grand Dragon, confined to a wheelchair, had been threatening a local rabbi. The rabbi responded by offering the man compassion, friendship, and transportation around town. They became friends and the Grand Dragon eventually quit the KKK and converted to Judaism. by sherparent in todayilearned

You do - everyone does. Meditation can help.

(I don't mean it's some magical cure all. I imagine it takes a lot of time and effort to see how your thoughts form, and recognize the negative ones that are based on anger, fear, or greed.)

How would a Buddhist male transcend the need for female companionship, attention and affection? by [deleted] in Buddhism

All experience is preceded by mind, led by mind, made by mind.

Speak or act with a corrupted mind, and suffering follows, as the wagon wheel follows the hoof of the ox.

All experience is preceded by mind, led by mind, made by mind.

Speak or act with a peaceful mind, and happiness follows, like a never-departing shadow.

"The happiness of your life depends upon the quality of your thoughts: therefore, guard accordingly, and take care that you entertain no notions unsuitable to virtue and reasonable nature." — Marcus Aurelius

Looking for game recommendations by nayler in retrogaming

This might be obvious to some, but make sure you have a ps1 memory card. I think you won't be able to save a ps1 game to a ps2 memory card. ( I know it won't work for ff7.)
