  • I agree with this. I used nicotine lozenges to wean myself off cigarettes and this was successful.

    However, I did notice as a side effect that they helped me concentrate on complex tasks.

    So, although I don't use them daily, I leave a pack lying around just to suck on in the same way I might use a cup of coffee to sharpen up in the morning.

    I genuinely believe this does me no harm. I think the debates started to get heated when inhalation is involved.

  • Thank you. But I'm still not sure I get it. Could you maybe give an example of what kind of lie or fear mongering would make people want to say:

    "No, I don't want the constitution to recognise that there were an indigenous people here before us."

    That seems like an unarguable fact, isn't it?

    I'm sorry, I don't mean to put you on the spot but since you were kind enough to take the time to give an overview, it makes me hungry for more detail!

  • I mean, you couldn't be more right. This is aid-point zero.

    This conflict couldn't be more zany if it tried. Russia will be asking the moon for aid next. At least India have got something up there which Russia could steal, melt down and make into an Arquebus or something.

  • Ditto. Both my wife and I were heavy smokers and moved to vapes. As soon as I used a vape I thought "this is the solution!" after trying to quit smoking many times for decades.

    They really provide 80 to 90% of the satisfaction of a cigarette and take the edge off those moments when you damn well need a ciggie.

    After a couple of years of vaping I find it now much easier to do without them for a few days, although I do like one with a beer.

    You have to have been on that 10 or 20 year journey of smoking cigarettes to understand how hard they are to put down, and vaping was the tool that got me away from burning the evil tobacco leaf.

  • I'm in my late fifties, and my best friend who regularly takes me hiking (he's ex-Coldstream Guards) is a Brexiteer and I'm a Remainer.

    We meet maybe once every couple of months, and it's always the first thing he wants to talk about - he's firmly in the "this is not the Brexit I voted for" camp.

    I don't want to bad mouth him because he's my dearest of friends but give it a rest mate. I want talk about who's playing at our local dive bar next week, I'm not bothered about Brexit any more.

  • How would that work? Nuclear reactors are, AFAIK, not capable of very much beyond getting extremely hot.

    Would that heat be used to cause rapid expansion of, for example, a lightweight solid into its gaseous form for propulsion?

    Or is there something new up Putin's short sleeves.

    I'm aware that the US proposed (and perhaps tested) the use of continuous, rhythmic nuclear bombs as a method of propulsion for space flight, but abandoned it as too erratic.
