    My current selection for the month consists of some "Cheese" and some "OG Kush".:smokey: 


    Do you have a medical condition or do you obtain your supply illegally?

     

    Personally, I would never voluntarily put smoke into my lungs, even if the intoxication effect was enjoyable. Regardless that I have a pulmonary condition, I think smoking of anything is not a very wise thing to do. I did smoke some pot in college but that was more than 30 years ago. I have never smoked any tobacco. My pulmonary condition was caused by too many airline flights with cramped leg room which led to poor circulation and ultimately a blood clot that traveled to my lung. I always fly first class now so I have enough leg room. I'm on the tall side so there is definitely not enough leg room in coach.

    Besides not putting smoke into one's lungs, the effects of THC on the basal ganglia and cerebellum are enough to keep me away. I have no issue with adult choosing to do any drug but I have no interest in inhibiting synaptic function.

    And it's getting worse. I assume you've read about the fights on planes with people reclining their seats as they are designed to do, or because they can't do so because of products designed to prevent the person in front of you from reclining their seat.

    Yeah, my project manager told me recently that reclining your seat more than just a fraction is considered to be extremely rude.

     

    I recently had the opposite problem where in first class the hydraulics of the seat were malfunctioning and the seat would slowly recline all the way. I kept having to adjust it as it is impossible to enjoy your caviar when the seat is all the way back. /s

    **** that! It's not like coach seats recline to some excess degree.

    Did you let the airline know? They usually give you some credit when that occurs.

    LOL

    I remember the first time I flew First Class. My biggest complaint was that I had to unbuckle my seatbelt and get to the end of the seat to reach the pouch of the seat back in front of me. My feet couldn't even touch it with my legs and toes and extended. The horror¡

    I let the flight attendants know and they logged it into to their report. Whatever about the credit.

    Never had someone I work with reek like that. Worked with a customer recently though who was stoned out of his mind and reeked. I was happy to be at work and not on the road when he was....

    This is about no longer celebrating the uniqueness that was Apple, its about conformity and its a short slide from here to Best Buy city. Would not be surprised see kacki pants around the corner and other clone requirements.

    I don't have any medical condition that I am aware of. I consume cannabis simply because I like it, much like somebody else might enjoy a cold beer or a drink every once in a while.

     

    As for smoking it or not, the good thing about cannabis is that there are multiple methods for consuming it. If somebody prefers not to smoke it for whatever reason, then vaping is a popular alternative, and some people like edibles.

     

    I am also tall, so I know what you mean about cramped airline seats when flying coach.

    Used to fly first class overseas for business. Man, that was nice...

    I understand the practical reasons for moving the Apple logo (i.e., making room for polo shirt buttons), but I like the look of the centered logo better. As others have said, the new placement makes the shirts look generic/corporate. Plus, Apple is more of a "t-shirt and jeans" company, not a "polo and slacks" company.

    Cool, so I can smell however I wish as long as it doesn’t affect my duties. Good to know¡ :rolleyes:

    The previous fleece uniforms were also a synthetic polymer that shed and caused health problems.

    No seriously, this is a nice tweak. The tees were a bit laid back.

    In my local store one of the Apple employees reeked of cannabis. I don't care what people do on their own time, but that was unpleasant.

    Too true.

    We don't want Apple recruiting druggies in this day and age.

    Yep.

    I'm afraid I've always found polo shirts a bit naff. I prefer t-shirts; they're honestly casual and friendly.
