Right! I smoked for over 30 years. I started vaping about 12 years ago. Prior to that I tried quitting numerous times - patches, lozenges, pills - none really lasted. Vaping works and it sure as hell is less harmful than the cocktail you get from old-school cigs.

It is honestly really frustrating to see the issue of relative harm just get flat out ignored. "Vaping is bad" - you never see it compared in any sensible way to alcohol, cigarettes, formaldehyde from carpets - what have you (all of which are more or less bad). "Even drinking water can harm the body" is about as useful a statement. This is so tiresome - we're not children.

 

I have been sort of flummoxed by this for a number of years, though for the most part I gave up trying to understand and just started using the yard web server. But... does there exist a modern "best-practices" way of reading ruby docs at the command line these days? In Pry? I've played around with ri and show-doc (in pry) - neither of them seem to work very well. Am I missing something?
