The You Game!

[DaveRattlehead]

Tobacco does not have relaxing properties since it is a stimulant. The apparent sensation of "relief" felt when smoking a cigarette is due to the suppression of withdrawal symptoms produced by the lack of nicotine in the brain. < doubts ^ would have relaxed smoking a single cigarette considering ^ isn't a smoker

< reckons it's more dangerous in some ways and less dangerous in others. < was with a bunch of lads all trying one guy's vape at the last office Christmas party. < refrained though, < doesn't want to risk trying nicotine when it's so addictive…

< admits < got to try a vape once. < definitely felt it in <’s throat. < never did it again, though, because <’s aware of the risks nicotine carries.

Heck, < even uses hypodermic needles often and < refuses to even think of taking recreational drugs.

< was not here for a long time!

< passed the in Russian language. < still have to pass exams in mathematics and physics, so < preparing for it. < dream about resume activity of Rayman Fan Union and post some content in YouTube.

< thought < would pop in and say hello how goes the gang?

< doesn't want to risk trying nicotine when it's so addictive…

< suspects you wouldn't get addicted from one try especially if you're already predisposed against them. < has tried <'s friends' vapes on many occasions but has never had the urge to buy one <'sself. < says you're not missing much though, the sensation is like getting orthostatic hypotension while breathing in a haribo.

< had forgotten what a fine way with words you have!

[Fifo]

< just had a venous blood draw done.

< loves how accurate that really is

< congratulates you!
< finished and passed <'s graduate theochem thesis yesterday, but < is having a rough time in academia
< prefers to study and read books in <'s free time instead without that pressure, < is trying to get the motivation and fun back which for < is easier with languages

< agrees so much. < guesses that's why < is less into languages now that < is working, than when < was in college studying Maths and Physics…

[The Jonster]

< wishes ^^ best of luck with ^^'s studies!

< needs to motivate <self too to get back to studying programming and cyber security, but < gets so distracted by other things < wants to do that < kinda just forgets about it and that's been a problem for < for years tbh....< still has work to do on balancing <'s hobbies.

Though, on the flipside < feels <'s organization skills are improving in <'s current downtime. < has set what tv shows < wants to watch, what games to play, and what following CS topic to study (and hopefully remember)

< just had a venous blood draw done.

God < hates those. < had one done recently <self and even though < was somewhat dehydrated the nurse drawing < didn't seem to know what she was doing so a second nurse had to help. Got stuck on <'s right arm (which worked for awhile until the drawer fiddled with it a bit) and then the back of <'s left hand (which was much more painful since they stuck < with a regular needle there instead of the smaller butterfly needle).

Ouch <’s sorry to hear of your experience.

Got stuck on <'s right arm (which worked for awhile until the drawer fiddled with it a bit) and then the back of <'s left hand (which was much more painful since they stuck < with a regular needle there instead of the smaller butterfly needle).

< had a 20-gauge Vacutainer needle in <’s left arm. < barely felt the poke despite the needle’s large gauge!

[PluMGMK]

< has basically just pulled a 24-hour day Now maybe if < could repeat that in 48 days' time, we might perform decently on this year's RD…

[DaveRattlehead]

< should probably drink like 4 coffees to be awaken for 24 hours

[Elite Piranha]

< hopes ^^ got some good sleep after doing that.

[PluMGMK]

< did get a lot of sleep indeed, not getting up until around 15:00 the next day

[The Jonster]

< wishes ^ and ^^^ good luck with their strategies! < isn’t going to be pulling any all-nighters since < would like to retain <‘s decent sleep schedule!

Gives < flashbacks to the first RD < participated in where < got a large gallon of Arizona green tea and just continued drinking it every hour. < survived the night but afterwards < just felt like crap even after resting. Though, < thinks Steo was probably feeling much worse than < was after RD. :p

[PluMGMK]

< cannot guarantee that < will be able to pull it off for Record Day! The other day < got up at 5:40, which is a respectable hour. Getting up at 23:00 for RD… might be another matter!

[Elite Piranha]

< just wanted to say < is totally open to others pointing out grammatical errors or any other flaws with <'s writting, it would help < a lot.

[DaveRattlehead]

^'s writing seems fine

[PluMGMK]

< agrees with ^. (Except that post says "writting" instead of "writing" – intentional? )

[Elite Piranha]

< agrees with ^. (Except that post says "writting" instead of "writing" – intentional? )

one of <'s most common mistakes (thanks for pointing that out).
