I didn't smoke for 12 years when I managed to stop smoking in Nov. 2004. One 4am morning I woke up after only sleeping for 4-5 hours with a tobacco cough .... that lasted for a whole minute, and I was unable to breathe due to all the coughing, I thought I was gonna choke. Longest minute of my life. I stopped smoking there and then, I don't remember what I did with the remaining cigs, I think I threw them into the trashcan; I did smoke 2 packs of Prince (40 cigs) a day back then, before I quit cold turkey. I smoked briefly in 2016 when I was admitted, but was able to quit again after I got better, between then and now there were 4½years I didn't smoke cigs. I have trouble falling asleep, so I consider it a necessary evil to smoke to relax more. When my sleep schedule is back in order, I'll quit smoking - it won't be easy, but I think I'll manage.

One of the many differences between apoptosis and necrosis is that during apoptosis no damage associated molecular pattern molecules are released. Consequently no immune response is generated and no inflammation occurs.

In Switzerland, it is illegal to own just one guinea pig, because they get lonely.

They don't get lonely if you eat them all at once.

In 2019, [scotch] accounted for 75 percent of all Scottish food and drink exports, and 21 percent of the UK’s.
Half-and-half with water is how whisky is often drunk in Scotland: the water jug sits on the bar and every dram-taker adds what they will.

Jeanne de Clisson (1300-1359) was a Breton French noblewoman who became a privateer to avenge the unjust execution of her third husband. She sold the family lands and used the money to raise a force of men-at-arms, which she used to attack and sack at least three castles in Brittany. With financial assistance from England, Jeanne bought three warships and spent the next thirteen years hunting French vessels in the Channel. She would frequently massacre almost the entire crew of captured ships, leaving a few witnesses alive to carry the news back to France. She died, aged 59, of natural causes.
