Tomagotchi VAPE?

In a way, your own life is sacrificed to save the Tomagotchi’s.

So, an even better metaphor for parenthood than the original.
(I kid, of course.)

Xun started vaping last year, she said, as a way to begin the process of quitting cigarettes. She also has a “bunch of friends who vape,” many of whom “are very attached to their vapes.” But she’s not naive about vaping’s well-documented risks, and began to wonder if “gamifying” her nicotine use might help her disincentivize it. In the first iteration of the project, hitting the vape would actually murder the digital pet, and thus would ideally work to guilt-trip the user into not inhaling.
…
But then, explained Xun, Camacho “found this Stupid Hackathon. And we were like, it’d be kind of funnier to be evil.”
And with that, their “evil-mode” Vape-o-Gotchi, which instead rewards users for vaping, was born. (The pair’s darkly satirical pitch was that America is “in crisis” due to the year-over-year decrease in kids vaping between 2021 and 2023, a supposed calamity their device can help correct.)

I’ve been on flights before where they had to circle around the city waiting for clearance to land.

HSV Int’l is a fairly sleepy airport, so seeing Air National Guard planes out of Columbus MS or Memphis or NASA trainers is not unusual, but this is the first time I’ve seen one from the DoJ doing touch-and-gos like this.

I thought @Wayward mentioned that they are specifically doing touch and gos…not circling at >3000 ft.
You’d think the 757 pilots are experienced with enough hours so they don’t practice touch and gos? But I could see that they do become rusty if not commercial pilots.

Not familiar with the touch and go terminology but looked it up. Definitely weird, i would guess training but doing that in a major metropolitan area seems like a very poor choice if that were the case.
