Actually what you didnāt see in the video is that I filmed the bus coming in, the door opening, the driver saying hello, me getting in, then punching the zones and paying with my hand.
The reason you only saw the last few seconds is because I forgot to press the record button. Thatās how often I record stuff with my cellphone I realized at the last moment before paying. But as far as the driver is concerned, I was filming him the whole time.
If I put myself in his shoes, I wouldnāt have felt terribly comfortable if a passenger climbed onboard holding a cellphone pointing straight at my face neither.
Quick Vent is what inspired me to look around, a few carpentry sites have similar products and most of those shelves look similar.
This guy even built his own bottom opening shelf:
However, I was looking for something that blends in a little better with my existing furnitureā¦ Just need to find an RFID lock with a decent range and figure out a way to place it as close to the surface of the wood as possible.
And then Iāll need to get into guns or something.
Iāve decided to quit vaping after 10 years - and 25 years of smoking before that. Iāve just spend 24 hours without breathing anything but air for the first time since 1986.
And the effects of quitting vaping are mighty weird: I have zero cravings and zero problems, despite quitting heavy vaping with heavy nicotine cold turkey. But Iām experiencing extreme time dilation: itās almost midnight, and I feel like the day has been dragging on for a whole week. And itās been like that the whole day. I look at the clock after what feels like a well-spent hour, and only 5 minutes have passed.
Super weird. I remember vividly what quitting smoking feels like, and this is nothing like it. Oh well, at least itās not craving
The tobacco addiction was very strong in me. I vaped that many years because Iāve always been afraid if I stopped, the cravings for tobacco would come back. I came to realize recently that, most likely, the sheer number of years since I quit smoking have undone the addiction for tobacco in me. I was now addicted to vaping instead - although thatās nowhere near as bad.
So I quit vaping - and it turns out, Iām not addicted after all
Congrats! I consider quitting smoking (and nicotine in general) the hardest thing Iāve ever doneāand I have longlined the Bering Sea in winter. Itās just such an insidious habit. So easy to fall for the slippery slope of, āIāll just have one dragā¦ā
Itās definitely a Rosco thing, other peoples bodys are dependant on that stuff after a while, but I didnt wanna say anything cuz whatever helps Rosco helps. I totally see how I could quit with that mentality.
Also, congratz!
Yeah thatās how it went each time I started smoking again after quitting.
But thatās the thing with vaping: you donāt go through the cravings when you switch to vaping, but you do realize how gross tobacco is. So you see it for what it really is without wanting it at the same time.
Honestly, I really canāt be near the stuff anymore. Even a smoker who has smoked a cigarette like an hour ago and still smell slightly of cold, stale tobacco makes me retch. I donāt see how Iāll ever want to start again.
Then again, Iām not saying that too loudly, for fear of having to eat my words one day.
Everybodyās different. Thatās my story. I never claimed it would be the same for everybody. I know vaping literally saved my life and made me transition from smoking 3 packs a day to vaping instantly with zero cravings. It doesnāt go as smoothly for many people. I got lucky I guessā¦
Anecdotal but the couple of times I tried to quit vaping I end up either smoking or vaping again.
But Iām a very anxious human and tend to hang out with smokers and vapers. I do however donāt have the same intense urge to vape as I would have if I tried to stop smoking cold turkey.
The only cravings I get are for opiates. And I donāt remember ever being addicted, nor do I abuse them when they are not prescribed. I legit crave them on occasion. Not sure why.
I realized at the last moment before paying. But as far as the driver is concerned, I was filming him the whole time.
