And many more things you may not recognize consciously within the very first weeks after quitting.
Exactly!food tasted better, she could smell things she never could before, and she didn't lose her breath as easily
I started smoking at 14. It was the USSR then (the picture shows the cigarettes I smoked in the USSR). The tobacco was of good quality, even from Bulgaria. A pack of cigarettes was inexpensive - 40 kopecks (you could return 2 empty beer bottles and buy a pack of cigarettes). I smoked 3-4 a day. Then, in the 90s, cigarettes disappeared (crisis). I entered the university. Then they started bringing in contraband: cigarettes from Turkey, Eastern Europe, Moldova, Romania, etc. We smoked them too. There was a lot of algae. Then everything got better. They started bringing more or less normal cigarettes to Ukraine. My favorite cigarettes were the "West" from the DDR. And after another 7-8 years, cigarettes went up in price, and I quit. But I liked smoking. It somehow calmed me down. Now I don’t smoke at 50.

Did Musk make you smoke, or MIT's project? ?It started shortly after I started using X, and only once. I had set the wrong parameters in xorg.conf, and poof. I had let the smoke out of the monitor. That certainly was not a good day.
Nah. Just let the smoke out of the monitor. After that it wouldn't work anymore.Did Musk make you smoke, or MIT's project? ?
Switch to Wayland, then?Nah. Just let the smoke out of the monitor. After that it wouldn't work anymore.

section?These were the hardest cigarettes. They smoked these too. They said that the most hellish cigarettes were "SHAKHTÈRSKIE" (worker with a jackhammer). When the nicotine famine came, we even smoked cigarette butts - we collected them on the streets... yes, yes, there was a severe commodity crisis. But the most hellish imported cigarettes were Bursa and Truva, which I smoked.You missed Belomorkanal:
This was long before X auto-configured itself. Most people are too young to have experienced reading through the X documentation to set mode lines and scan rate in xorg.conf based on some calculation.Switch to Wayland, then?
I think that's for any electronics.Forgot to addOption "NoSmoke" on

Sorry, but SHAKHTÈR means "Mine shaft worker". There are plenty of jackhammers involved in public road construction (Although these days, they are mounted on mechanical arms like excavator ladles:"SHAKHTÈRSKIE" (worker with a jackhammer)
That's wild! I would have expected the monitor itself to deny the settings if they were coming over the port with out-of-range values (hopefully below the point of failure), but maybe I just take that for granted with LCDs/modern stuffIt started shortly after I started using X, and only once.

Heh, can still do it there too (at least on Linux with something likeSwitch to Wayland, then?

, but not sure what safety-checks might be involved before it's pushed to the screen)Monitors today do have safeguards but that monitor did not. It was an old CRT monitor I had used on MS-DOS, OS/2. I bought it in the mid 1980s.That's wild!

Yeah. Today's monitors are pretty solid.I have a 60Hz HDMI screen and toss on generated modelines for 75Hz most of the time; the most my monitor did when I tried like 80Hz was say input not supported (luckily )
