    Immunosuppressed dude here.
    The reason I needed a transplant is because my DNA has a flaw, onset with puberty.
    Destroyed my own by age 19.
    I literally don't copy my own immune system out properly.

    Found a Pyne Pod 8500 discarded in the grass during a walk into town yesterday

    Surprisingly sophisticated charging circuitry for an item designed to be disposable. No obvious way to open it in order for owners to refill the tank or to swap in a new atomizer module.

    A disposable vape device with a clear window through which the internal components (PCB, charge circuitry, atomized tank) can be seen. When plugging in a USB-C recharger into the disposable vape device the LED displays 46% and indicates the battery is charging

    big sigh
    Vaping should be treated with more respect.
    By companies I mean.
    I don't buy disposables.

    Okay I'm going to describe something, that I'm thinking that some other people have too:

    So, when I'm feeling very sad, emotional, and overwhelmed, and I just feel like I can't keep going. I have this sort of other hyper rational part of myself. I call it Outside Man, mostly because it feels like it hovers over the top of my ocean of my emotions, and can see things from outside of where I am. Outside Man is the one who tells me that emotions change and this intensity of feeling won't last forever, and I need to do the things I know will help my mental state.

    Is this or something like this, something other people experience?

    And yes, I know that it's probably inherently sexist that I call what I consider my more rational self by a male moniker, but I've called it that since I was a kid, and it's stuck. Hubs said Outside Man sounds like a horror movie!

    TLB73,

    @RickiTarr
    Yeah, it's like an emergency backup personality that is uber reasonable and rational and has stopped me rage quitting life once or twice.
    Coz' like everyone I guess. You get severely tested. At some point.

    What is the most ridiculous question or complaint that you've had from a Customer/Client?

    TLB73,

    For me personally this was pretty fucking dumb.
    And happened.
    Or,
    How I scored a gig as a consultant.
    The combined cost of the entire UK grinding to a halt for even just a day versus the money you'd actually save because someone genuinely wanted to use cheaper metal to make the £1 coin.

    @RickiTarr I only mention those because they stopped making them.
    You can still get Vienetta here quite easily.
    I often didn't eat ice cream because phosphates. Boring renal diet stuff.

    TLB73,

    @RickiTarr
    Did you ever get the guy in the van?
    Like the times before Blockbusters.
    They were the also good times 👴

    TLB73,

    @RickiTarr So, Ice cream van on a Sunday afternoon, but on a weds/thurs evening you'd get a dude.
    And you'd rent a film for a week usually.

    Since, my last post ended up in a long thread about the pros and cons of sports, I'm curious, what is your family and personal history with sports?

    I'll go first! My Dad grew up in a Sport's household. His Dad, my grandfather, was obsessed, and he wanted his sons to be too. My grandfather was tall with an athletic build like a swimmer, but he married a very petite 4'8" woman, who never weighed over a hundred pounds. Both my Dad and his Brother were average height with a slight build, neither played sports or were good at it when they tried. Not liking sports became my Dad's rebellion. He became a preacher instead, his Dad grew up in a Preacher's family, and hated it. When I was growing up, my Dad always pushed intelligence and spirituality over physicality, we only had a game on if my Grandfather was there. I got a little of both my parents, I've always been small and plump, what science calls a dumpling (please don't fact check this). I enjoyed group activities and non competitive sports. For instance I played volleyball (very poorly), but only enjoyed it if I was on the B team, and had no pressure to succeed in it. I did go through a brief period where I pretended to be really into sports, because I thought it would impress boys. I'd watch just enough to get highlights. I was basically like Moss in I.T. Crowd. Did you see that ludicrous display last night?!

    TLB73,

    @RickiTarr
    I am built for comfort, not for speed. My real dad was into motorcycles.
    So my build is partly inherited from my dad and presumably the extra kidney helped a bit too 😊
    Don't know a lot about my real mum, sports wise.
