They're talking about VRAM in a GPU, not motherboard RAM.

More like trying to root a Samsung phone with Knox (for men)

It's more that there's not any reason for the body to have developed a mechanism to stop sperm production.

Success in evolution is largely accomplished by reproducing better than those without your mutation. Shutting down sperm production does the opposite.

I appreciate it! I once spent 6 hours on hold waiting for support, so unfortunately I'm too familiar.

That's the habit, not the substance. Smoking or vaping integrates into your life way more than caffeine.

And build more housing with them.

Basically. There's no biological advantage for men to shut down sperm production, so evolution never pressured a mechanism to do so.

Go with an open system and a bottle of eliquid. More of an upfront investment, but with a refillable system you can adjust your nicotine levels much easier, and it's significantly cheaper in the long run.

Not physically addictive, no. The physical addiction to nicotine lasts 3-7 days, while caffeine is 7-14.

It's not the nicotine that has you truly hooked, it's the habit. It's the fact that it's always on you and you can often hit it as much as you want.

Back before shitty closed disposable systems became popular, people regularly dropped to 0 nicotine without any trouble besides some cravings for a few days (which were about the equivalent of caffeine withdrawals).

When has that made any sort of difference?

The ending is a dead giveaway. There's essentially no email signature, and communications with MS support have the agent's name in the signature, not a generic team name.

Additionally, there's no ticket number. If they had investigated the account and billing history, there would be an associated ticket, a link to said ticket, and verbage about whether or not responding to the email would go on the ticket. A lot of that is handled automatically by contacting them if done electronically.

It's also just not written like a support email from them, which I get is a bit more of a nebulous tell.

The point is that on a regular basis there are articles about some amazing new battery breakthrough, but it never leaves the lab.
