  1. It depends on the person. I've seen some vanity nose jobs where they didn't look more attractive, just more European.
  2. You can also make smoking inconvenient once you're further along your journey. Keep the smokes in the car or in an inconvenient place in your house with the lighter in a separate room or compartment in your car.
  3. Take your time. Transition vices e-cigarette > nicotine gum > quit Or practice self-control Reduce your smoking by 1 cigarette per week/month until it's zero. Start by eliminating the "extra" smokes (the 1 more smoke after smoking), then the punctuation smokes (after sex), the comfort smokes (after eating), then the stress smokes (when you're stressed).
  4. - grab on to the side of the pool and relax your body, let your torso and legs float up and get used to the sensation of floating - in the floating position while holding the side of the pool, kick your legs and adjust your kicking until you feel yourself pushing into the side of the pool - if you have access to a floatation device, place it in front of you and hold it like the side of the pool and kick until you're used to propelling yourself across the pool - once you're confident kicking, practice thrusting your arm into the water and pushing while alternating left and right, breathing on one side of your stroke every other stroke - practice until comfortable and proficient
  5. I forgot to mention the mental health portion of youth and health. Good catch from @Dice88 & @Prim0. Health (and youthfulness through health) is the sum total of all of your your health factors.
  6. There are free tools you can use to recovery data as long as you act right away. HDDs are made of sectors, so it's possible that the access and registry key sector is damaged but that the other data is fine, depending on what stage of reading/writing the HDD was on when the brownout happened. The problem is if you don't have an HDD to dump the files onto, you'll have to sift through to find the important files that aren't corrupted.
  7. disadvantage: expensive having to care for your eyes the first 48 hours you might have to do it again 10-15 years later advantage: not having to wear glasses not having to buy shades with prescription not having to switch glasses and shades potential to have better than 20/20 vision
  8. This really applies only to higher end service industries that have the resources to deliver anything the customer wants and have customers that are able and willing to pay any price, which bears out in the history of this phrase. If you go to Jollibee and tell them you want them to debone a chickenjoy thigh and put garlic pepper beef sauce on it, they'd tell you they can't do that. If you ask a high end restaurant to substitute the porkchop with a steak and the shrimp with lobster, they'll do it if you flash enough cash.
  9. 2 password protected external drives to protect against manufacturing defects, human error, and potential theft. It's rare, but security is to exists in a state of mild paranoia.
  10. Any one of Superman's powers, because he's the original Mary Sue. Lol
  11. It's an established aspect of society and signals trustworthiness because a person has agreed to marry you, with all the good and bad that marriage carries. Marriage tends to mellow a person out, while singles feel like a mixed bag and act more like loose canons. But, this is also used to deceive people (see: beards, and every married asshole politician).
  12. Isolation is fine as long as you know what you're doing. Problem is that most people don't. The other problem is that people don't know the difference between isolation and compound movements. If your goal is health, just stick to compound movements. If you're building a specific look, then work in those isos.
  13. Yung nagdadala ng pagkain sa pool. 🤦‍♂️
  14. Getting that first buzz from the first 3 puffs of a cigarette.
  15. Razer has been hit-or-miss with keyboards and controllers, but I've loved every Razer mouse I've ever bought (Diamondback, Naga, Viper mini, Lancehead)

    Slow Jams & Love Songs

    "Slow Jamz" - Kanye West, Twista, Jamie Foxx
  17. Yup. Music attaches and lives in our memories in a manner unique from other art.
  18. True, but appreciating the art of these artists usually takes time, especially if they're producing music from a less popular genre. I'm not the biggest fan of ska, but it took time to understand the subtleties and for it to not sound "samey". Another example of this is reggae, especially because reggae music doesn't have that clean news reporter delivery of lyrics, so the lyrical depth is often lost and people just vibe to the rhythms.
  19. It's also because they're getting younger artists that grew up on soundcloud music or generally lack the influence of more "classic" hits. There are artists out there that do not understand the impact of the diva era of ballads (Whitney Houston, Mariah Carey, Tina Turner, et cetera), but there are young artists that dig deep and grow to love these "classic" hits. I think I saw an interview of a very young artist that does not even understand the impact of Michael Jackson. It's crazy to hear, but it makes sense when you think about how much music is being produced these days.
  20. This is just a product of music evolving. 90s brought hip-hop and R&B to the mainstream, this changed pop music, and that run has ebbed and flowed. Techno and electronic music gave way to dubstep, which influenced 2010's pop music (Bangarang, anyone?)
