I, an English speaker, was interacting with a Spanish patient at work. It was me first week, and it had been a long while since I had spoken Spanish but I had been nearly fluent for years. The patient had neck pain. I walked in and very confidently asked “Donde esta el dolor en su culo?” They looked shocked, turned red and said, “OH NO!” and I immediately realized I asked them “Where is the pain in your asshole?” confusing culo (asshole) with cuello (neck). I apologized profusely and they couldn’t stop laughing about it during the whole appointment. Good times.

Jeez. Americans will use anything but metric.

A friend of mine is a Doctor. This is what he suggests to anyone who is truly interested in stopping.

1. Smoke as much as you need to
2. Start rolling your own, unfiltered.
3. Put the pack somewhere inconvenient, like car trunk or in a hard to reach box in the garage
4. Only every smoke outside, under an open sky. No cars, no houses, no awnings, no umbrellas, etc. No matter the weather.

He says this makes it accessible but inconvenient and not as enjoyable. Eventually the inconvenience will start to outweigh the need until you end up quitting. He says he has like a 80-90% success rate with those who actually follow through

I work at a Dr office near a Ford plant. We see a lot of injured employees specifically because a decent chunk of each car is still put together by hand.

I am in the same boat as you. I’m so happy a new Armored core game is here

It has what plants crave!
