Skepticism

Yet another IT pro expresses doubt about the whole “Nork’s did it” narrative.
Sony has a pretty bad reputation for lax security in their systems and a long history of cracks. Add to that 5000 layoffs ending March, 2015 and you have the recipe for an internal breach.
I never bought that the Nork’s did it, and especially cast doubt when the FBI trotted it out. You know the same FBI that totally investigated the IRS.
The only question I have remaining is why the FBI (read: the political class) would want to false-flag the crack.

Two Months

Last week I celebrated two months cigarette free. It’s good thing. I’ve previously used drugs, patches, gum, and cold-turkey. Two months ago I ordered my e-Stick from Juicy (an E-Go style).
There isn’t anyone, anywhere that is going to tell me that e-cigs don’t help quit smoking or that it’s as bad for you as smoking.
There are four ingredients in e-cig juice. Propylene glycol (think asthma inhaler), and/or vegetable glycerine, artificial/natural colour and flavourings, and optionally nicotine.
The PG gives you the ‘throat hit’. The irritation on the back of your throat that you get from smoking is replicated with it. The VG adds a sweetness, a mild throat irritation and vapour. Flavour and nicotine is self-explanatory.
All of the above and hundreds more chemicals are in cigarettes or are a by-product of combustion. Vaping is a magnitude safer, by virtue of not inhaling the balance.
Honestly, I love it. I haven’t needed or wanted a cigarette since I started. At all. I’m on my second juice buy and dropped the nicotine level from 18mg to 12mg. I’ve bought from the aforementioned Juicy as well as Flavour Crafters and the local store, Vapor Jedi. Some flavours I like, some are too much. The next buy will go down one more level of nicotine.
I would be very angry at any level of gov’t that takes this quit tool away from me.
