Rossi a colleague of mine,  has managed to “brick” his recently acquired e-cigarette. There was this “magic blue smoke smell” in the office, and we were all skulking around trying to figure out where the smell came from until we saw him grinning at his table.

Apparently the bricking had to do with the multimeter he held in his hands and “measuring something” and “getting the vapourizer a bit wet”.

Hehe. I’m kinda impressed tho. Everyone knows any new electronic device needs to be “hacked” and prodded a bit.

Apparently they parboil the rice, for our benefit, driving the Vitamins into the rice. How do I know this ? I was staring at a pack of rice tonight in the pantry, reading the label. “Vitamins cannot rinse away…”

Awesome. Or perhaps not.
