You search for some info like:

Is this tech gadget (or whatever) any good?

You only find scammy “test” sites with tons of Amazon links that use AI bullshit texts or YouTube videos with some asshat shills that “test” this and that product that was sent over to them by the company.

You add “reddit” to the search and get muuuuch better results for that. Sure, not everything is gold, but you often find tests and discussions aswell as questions and complaints from people who bought the stuff.

That does not mean we have to like Reddit. I stopped contributing to that shithole a while ago and only use it without account but with strict ad blockers for my advantage.

Wow, 50 mg/ml is wild. I am out of the game now for a while, I am Vape and smoke free for nearly two years now. Maybe those 20 mg/ml are/were a german thing.

Here we had restrictions (and high taxes) for some years now and you only could buy nicotine liquids in 10 ml portions with max 20 mg/ml. So for some time we bought 1 liter of 0 mg base and mixed it with the small 20 mg packages and flavour.

I tried those nic salt vape pens a few times and while you are probably right and the nicotine level in the body doesn’t differ wildly, I always experienced a hefty buzz from that.

But maybe that was the result of me trying to suck on those pens like on my Dead Rabbit SQ RDA. 🤷

This won’t work. The kids don’t use them because of the flavour but because of the flash. Even if the liquids tasted bland, you can easily add flavour.

Freebase was the standard in Vapes for many years. Vaping liquids with freebase nicotine will keep your nic level up for the day. There is not a kick involved. This is different with nic salts. They behave like the nicotine in cigarettes.

Also current vapes have a much higher percentage of nicotine. When I vaped (comming from smoking), I mixed my liquids with 6 mg/ml. I think the standard today is 20 mg/ml. That is the reason, kids like them. Not the taste. You have much smaller clouds, than in the previous generations, but the high doses of nic salt give you a real nice kick.

Being on Twitter in 2026 is crazy. Seemingly paying for that shit even more.

Pushing 40 with no kids and couldn’t be happier about that.

Hö? Telegram schaltet Werbung? In meiner Fdroid Variante aber nicht.

You mean μg not mg. That would be really much. 😅

I take Vitamaze Vitamin B12 1.000 μg. The last year I took one to three pills every week and slided a bit into the direction of a deficit. After talking with my general practitioner (also not specialized), I am back to 1.00 μg per day.

You should defenitively use it, when you fill up diesel fuel. I have no idea why exactly, though.

Benoit Blanc.

Nope. Now we are getting better and better electric cars and slowly begin to phase out shitty combustion engine cars. We really need to prohibit those big SUVs and pickups in favor of tiny cars, tough.

Meh, mid take to be honest. All of humanity is like that. Not just the West.

Der anständige Mensch liest die Überschrift und denkt: Stimmt, der aktuelle Mindestlohn ist für diese krasse Arbeit definitiv zu niedrig. Wir brauchen gesetzlich vorgeschriebenen mindestens 4 EUR mehr, plus ein starkes Kontrollregime um Ausbeutung durch AG, wie mit den sogenannten Werkswohnungen (Dreckslöcher mit Matratzen) oder anderen „Abgaben“, zu vermeiden.

Man, ich verachte unsere Regierung zutiefst.

Huh, I first thought: That Peter Thiel motherfucker is british?

Alright.

I (also) did all of the above, but I never was a sailorsaur. 🦕

So, those sailorsaurs ate cheese and honey and they drank the milk of other species?

Ah crap. You are right. Was thinking about ye olde SIM card that has to be chopped down for the new device. But we are talking about NFC here. 🤦

Everybody puts their phones in some kind of case. Put your credit card between it. You don’t even need the whole card. Just cut out the chip if you don’t need the card for cash withdrawal. (edit: the last part was stupid)

Der Eindruck entsteht durch deine Äußerungen hier. Es wird niemandem verboten Leichenteile zu essen. Es wird überreichen Fleischindustriellen verboten, ihre durch Ausbeutung von Mensch und Tier gewonnen Produkte mittels Werbung in die Rachen der Massen zu drücken. Das ist kein Micromanagement, das ist genau das Gegenteil. Und wenn du mir jetzt ernsthaft sagen willst, dass deswegen irgendwer die Nazis wählt, kann ich dir nur entgegnen: das war wahrscheinlich von Anfang an ein Fascho.

Both options sound awful.

Man, that thing is pretty cool, even if it is ugly as hell. Had a not so different device back in the day, from Creative, I think.

The Hiby R1 is pretty great. It has one annoying quirk, though: it has no button lock. But you can deactivate waking up the touch screen and I never had a button pressed by my pocket by accident. So there is that.
