You can vape through a bong, it will reduce the smell a little. Smoking through a bong is not going to reduce smell, or not to where you can notice. Smoke inherently smells strongly and can blow further before dissipating. A bong is the least harmful method of smoking so if you are going to smoke that’s the way to go.

Does it give her bad directions on one device or everywhere she is signed into Google?

The search results are inconsistent and they started including advertising on the map but I haven’t noticed a decline in route finding. Perhaps there were accidents or traffic jams being routed around?

Unless you’re constantly exposed to a smell you aren’t going to get nose blind. I don’t think the smell from vaping flower or concentrate lingers long enough to actually get nose blind to it. Maybe if you vaped flower once every 15 minutes for a couple of days you might get there. It’s really nothing like smoke and doesn’t stay in the air long or absorb into clothing the way smoke does.

Disposable vapes are crap and completely different than vaping flower or concentrate. You should avoid them, and avoid carts. If you do use them, don’t try to finish every last bit because you’ll start burning the wick and inhaling things you really shouldn’t be putting in your lungs. They also often use distillate, which is total shit compared to real concentrate.

Have you considered vaping? Either flower or concentrate, its way less harsh than smoking and smells much less. Concentrate especially, within a few minutes the smell is going to dissipate. It’s also nice being able to control your dose and not having to commit to 12+ hours of being stoned, which are both issues with edibles.

Poirot. It’s charming, full of mostly subtle humor, and generally just well written, acted, and produced. I appreciate that it has a deeply humane perspective where justice matters, and that effort has been put into historical accuracy. It’s also sufficiently detached from contemporary reality that its not a downer to watch even though it still has a very honest view of human nature.

I think part of the problem, at least for me, is the horrible color temp most headlights use now. They are like 6500k hard white light instead of something less harsh like around 3500k that is much easier on the eyes. I think the only criteria they care about when selecting LEDs is maximum brightness so this is what we get.

You should take a look at how simple civics tests have already been used in the US election system. It did not go well.

That’s a dangerous path, and also very likely unconstitutional in the US.

If you work at a company with a competent HR department they will be very interested in hearing about how your supervisor is forcing you to eat lunch with her while she interrogates you about your sex life. That is 100% not appropriate in HR world. Just don’t ever believe anyone in HR is actually your friend, stick to the truth always, and document everything. Literally, keep a log of everything. If you end up in lawyer world they will be very happy that you have documentation of dates and who was there and what happened.

Almost certainly it was explosives. Mossad very likely designed a functioning pager that contains explosives but looks identical to the original pagers and this is effectively a supply chain attack.

They’ve done a similar thing at a smaller scale with individual phones in the past. What is different is this time it’s not targeted at a specific person and instead involves thousands of devices going off simultaneously. It’s not a big risk unless you have nation state level threats up against you because it’s hard to pull off, they have to get a functioning device with explosives in it into the hands of the target and the effort involved in doing that is significant.

I have military helicopters that occasionally fly low over my area at night and its always a moment of “shit what’s happening” because they are so loud and obnoxious. Fortunately it happens less than once a month.

I’ve never gone house shopping in Belgium but in the US at least, you would be fine just staying vague if they ask you any personal questions as long as you keep it friendly and aren’t rude about it. If you wanted to say you have an uncle or someone like that who is thinking of investing in apartments and he wanted you to check it out for him since you live in the area, that is a totally plausible story and will provide plenty of cover for you to be yourself. In my experience in the US at least, real estate agents want to show you the properties they are selling. They don’t want you to waste their time, but if they are selling a house they generally want as many people to check it out as possible. Ideally those are people who actually want to buy it, but anyone checking out a property they have for sale is always better than no one.

Hemp derived products compete directly with legal weed in the state but are outside the established regulatory regime for legal weed.

The hype is still percolating, at least among the people I work with and at the companies of people I know. Microsoft pushing Copilot everywhere makes it inescapable to some extent in many environments, there’s people out there who have somehow only vaguely heard of ChatGPT and are now encountering LLMs for the first time at work and starting the hype cycle fresh.

Tana French novels often live up to the hype, at least for me.

Did you ever get the money they owed you? I had a much less exciting version of that where a job I had was taking money out of paychecks for insurance that was never actually provided. Many years later the courts sorted things out and a few thousand showed up in the mail.

“Futility is freedom”

It depends on the area, many people live in places where 911 is for non-emergencies too. When you call the dispatcher will ask if its an emergency and potentially put you on hold if it isn’t.
