Unrelated: I used to work for Big Tobacco, huehuehue. About the batteries: since the iStick 100W has parallel battery setup (the mod also works with only one battery installed), the low draw ceases to become an issue. I usually replace the batteries with freshly charged ones when they reach 3.8V (cca 30% remaining, graphically speaking, on the mod).
I vape since November 7th, 2011. Never smoked a regular cigarette since then. My current mod is an eLeaf iStick 100W (http://www.eleafworld.com/istick-100w/) holding two 18650 Panasonic batteries (NCR18650B: http://www.batteryspace.com/pr...). The atomizer is an Aspire Nautilus with 1.6 Ohm resistor. I use VW mode on the mod with 14W setting. Charging the batteries is not done using the integrated mod's charger. I have a certified 18650 battery charger for two batteries, with 1A total charging capacity, that is 500mAh charging capacity per battery. This means the batteries charge slowly. The charger has high temperature and short circuit protection embedded.
My alternate/backup mod is a Cloupor Mini with one battery (same brand/series as above), using an Aspire Nautilus Mini atomizer. The battery does not stay in the mod unless I actively use the mod.
Using products manufactured in China is not a problem. The problem is whether those products are manufactured with strict Quality Control or not. The rule of thumb is: if it's cheap and you never heard of it, don't buy it. And never, EVER skimp on batteries or chargers.
Everyone has the ability to eat less. It literally requires no effort.
And it could fuck up your life even worse. There are people who, if they eat less, will develop a whole series of diseases which, when turning chronic, would send them to the grave ASAP. On the other hand, those people while overweight, would not be sick and their state of being would not be unhealthy. Still, they shouldn't say "it's generally okay to be like me".
You know, when you say "people who hate on people that are fat" you might be onto something there. Some psychologists say that there's some atavistic sense kicking in when we see people who are too thin or too fat. regarding "too fat", back when we were yet to invent writing, being fat was a sign of using up someone else's food resources (tribe's, community's, etc). Being fat meant there's too much food available to you while too little was available to all others. Likewise, "too thin" usually meant "sick" and people tend to isolate those who are unnaturally thin. As a 6.1 tall / 140 pounds heavy person, I encountered this behavior. Even doctors were trying to find what's "wrong" with me (turned out it's genetic, my father was thinner than me, my grandfather was like a walking stick).
So yes, there are limits beyond which people are perceived as abnormal. I'm guessing the uncanny valley plays a role in this too.
Fortunately for us, we do have proper gun control, thank the $Deity. That means you can't carry a gun unless you're a police officer, soldier on mission or you had previously completed a shitload of paperwork, went through very close scrutiny and have a very, VERY good justification for asking for a gun permit. Hunters do have a license for hunting guns but they are not allowed to carry guns with them unless they go hunting, and when they do go hunting, they're not allowed to have their guns loaded unless they're on the hunting ground proper.
You know what, I just realized the root cause: cultural difference. I'm Romanian, here you really need to work on people to offend them. Also, I've been taught to not to lose track of the idea/topic being discussed, much like in that movie (forgot the title) where you have to perform basketball throws and your opponent can only throw you off with words (insults included). I'd be very good at that game:)
So yeah, in my culture if someone's an idiot (in a particular discussion) you tell them that. They'll not be happy about it, that's for sure, but it's expected from them to realize the scope is narrowed down to that discussion rather than their whole life. Being overly polite will gain you the title of "pussy". We're more primitive around here heh heh.
I'm getting that too, and sometimes above it, provided my HDD can keep up. Downloading to SSD reaches the maximum theoretical throughput of an Gigabit connection. And all that in what's perceived as being a third world country, where my Gigabit Internet, bundled with basic TV (65 channels) and a free uncapped 3G dongle costs 20 bucks a month.
Written online interaction has limited scope - participants NEED to establish this framework before even participating to said interaction. The framework is: the conversation revolves around the conversation subject only, and is limited in scope to the information conveyed within the conversation.
Assuming participant A and participant B are discussing: A: Cows never fart. B: You're an idiot, cows do fart.
Participant B saying A is an idiot means that participant A's statement was idiotic and participant A indeed is an idiot strictly related to the statement within the conversation. It does NOT mean participant A is an idiot, generally or medically speaking. Furthermore, there is nothing personal about participant's B reply. Anyone has a derp moment, here participant A experienced such a moment and was called out for it. I see nothing wrong in that......unless participant A doesn't understand the framework. Well, that can't be resolved but by participant A only.
Your alternative ("I think that your response seems very irrational, because it ignores all of these obvious things...") reeks of political correctness and fear of (god forbid!) offending someone else, not from a personal perspective but from a general acceptance perspective. It is generally accepted that such a reply isn't offensive, whereas in fact the other participant could very easily be offended by being called out irrational or whatever. What your alternative is doing is covering own's ass in relation to an idealized general audience (society). I think this approach weakens a discussion to the point where an argument between two or more people becomes a ridiculous dance which carefully avoids any sort of perceived offense - this goal superseding the actual discussion topic.
I've seen this before. People avoiding to call out a particularly retarded participant and playing his game towards complete destruction of the discussion. "Let's politely listen to the idiot until he's done" never works as an approach.
You are an idiot:) Now, seriously, sometimes the poster indeed is an idiot and it's painfully obvious. I see nothing wrong in calling that out - if, of course, you explain why. I personally don't agree with "appropriate" being a measure - because it's a non-measurable convention. I'd go for "correct" versus "incorrect".
I work late shift right now and I like it. I worked graveyard shifts before and loved them. Sadly they were taken away "for the employees' benefit" (read: "because it was more expensive").
I know exactly what to code, but I have no idea how. Seriously.
During my free time, I design a game. Background, lore, game mechanics, formulas, skill forest, greater universe, etc. Implementing it? THE showstopper. So... anyone who can code but has no idea what, come to me and I'll give you plenty to code - and it's gonna be fun.

The fact that you don't get it. That's fun.
Fun fact: My native keyboard layout has Z and Y reversed from normal US layout.
You have no fucking clue what P2W means - but hey, the world is full of the likes of you.
1D10T is the jest name of the 100mm D10-T gun from World of Tanks.

They risked and won, now would they hire those employees back?
You need to get out of the country, man. You have a pretty skewed perception of the outside world.
The average person has a rather sad IQ level - to boot with. I guess the statement "you are an idiot" would generally apply to them anyway :)

Wait a second, let's clarify some things.

Shit, I already posted, but maybe someone can mod the parent insightful?
Hey, that's my master password right there!
You are an idiot :)

Pfft, learn to spell, it's Balls of Furry!
They're simply trying to help you free yourselves from the upcoming repressive regime :)
Once we figure out who "guests" is, finding out who "hosts" is will be easy.
Productivity has increased 72% in last 15 years but real wages only 8%.
Guests who benefited?
Hosts benefited for sure.
I work late shift right now and I like it. I worked graveyard shifts before and loved them. Sadly they were taken away "for the employees' benefit" (read: "because it was more expensive").
Let's get in touch, then.
