This is what happens when you let children use any social media.

A whole typical cigarette contains around 10-12mg of nicotine. The wiki says 30-60mg is potentially fatal to an adult, but that it could potentially take as much as 500mg. So for an adult, unlikely. For a child, I see mixed things saying 1 cigarette could be fatal. This says 1-13mg per kg for an infant. So maybe, depending on the size of the butt and the child?

So I just did a bit of research on it and according to Wikipedia and several journals it seems to be definitely possible for someone to die from nicotine poisoning. The wiki article cites two child deaths. I also found at least one article where nicotine poisoning was deemed the cause of death. Warning, it does contain shots of ther person's dissected esophagus and their stomach contents. There's a NLM journal article that pops up on a child committing suicide by nicotine ingestion, but the article was missing. So I can say it definitely has happened. I just couldnt find any readily available mortality studies showing how often it happens.

As for anecdotal evidence, I had a client with Pica, who would eat cigarette butts among other things and be vomiting all night.

I bring this up like every chance I get, but check out Libby if you don't want to go to the library. You just link your library card and you have access to tons of books, audio books, and magazines. I also just found out about Hoopla a couple days ago and will be checking that out as soon as I go get my library card renewed tomorrow. Same principle, access to your library's stuff, but also includes music and movies as well.

Not a news article, dude, so expect the post to be taken down. This is better suited in one of the gaming channels, but I totally empathize.

Also, expecting a public response is a pretty big wish, G2A has always been sketchy at best, use at your own risk. If you can manage a refund, count yourself lucky. Otherwise, take it as a lesson. Call it an idiot tax and stay away.

Hopefully not before having all his holdings and assets seized...

Man... Just shut the fuck up already and go away...

I'm all for him hurting the GOP and Trump's image, but he is the absolute furthest fucking thing from what a political leader needs to be... He's just doing this because he's an attention whore who's pissed that everyone hates him. He needs needs to be forced into the cave of mundanity and nothingness like the dispicable little troll he is.

Definitely more of an estimate just cause I was eyeballing it and trying to remember what I did before I forgot it all.

Lot of the stuff I cook for work just kinda gets a little of this and a little of that based on how much I need to make. Then when they like it, I have to go and remember weeks later what it did!

Thanks! I don't really have a problem with mayo either. I've never been a fan of mayo based "salads" - potato, macaroni, egg, coleslaw if you want to throw that in there... It's just not a texture I've ever liked. Same reason I don't do pasta salad with dressing. Cold and slimy just aren't my thing.

And in case anyone wants a really vague recipe.

  • 10 lbs of potatoes
  • 1 lb bacon
  • 1 yellow onion, medium sized, diced
  • Chives
  • Parsley
  • Sugar
  • Apple cider vinegar
  • Mustard, I used stone ground
  • Black pepper
  • Salt

Slice and rinse the potatoes and boil for about 25mins until they're fork tender.

I only had precooked bacon crumbles, so I rendered them down a little more along with some olive oil to use that to cook the onions. Bacon gets chopped and goes into a large bowl. Onions go into the bacon grease/oil mix along with maybe half a palmfull of chives and parsley, couple half teaspoons of black pepper, half a palmful to a full palm of sugar, a few shots of ACV, maybe a quarter to half cup, a good squirt of stone ground mustard, maybe half a teaspoon of salt. Cook the onions down til they're browned. Drain and mix the potatoes with the bacon, then pour the onions in and mix it all together.

The asparagus is literally just cento balsamic glaze and some extra bacon crumbles. Chicken was nothing fancy either, adobo, a brown sugar bourbon spice mix, and some old bay baked 2 hours then topped with Aldi BBQ sauce. Too hot to grill so it went in the oven.

My clients destroyed it though.

 

It's been 30 years since I've had potato salad. The last time was grandmother's when she was still alive. She used to make it for every family summer party. My mom told me I'd have made her proud.

Don't know how many folks have heard about Libby, but I've used it for a couple years now.

Libby let's you browse your local library's digital catalogue, including all of their audio books. Books can be borrowed for up to 3 weeks, with the option to extend it a sling as there's no one waiting for it. Works on Apple, Android, and in your browser. Best of all, it's all free! I dumped Audible for it and haven't looked back.

Holy crap, they're the worst I've ever seen them this year. Fucking nymphs are all over my patio, the house, the car...

For every one I kill, I find 4 more. Also, I don't remember them jumping like fleas!
