It's not an easy journey. I know when I started I would always think about having a drink just on my birthday or jyst one at a party. But at the end of the day I know I can't handle one, one always leads to many more than one.

For me I remember the first sober month being hard to just be sober. Sober months 2-6 were me trying to justify having a drink here and there for fun in the future. Then finally I just realized my life is a trillion times better without alcohol so why bother with it. The temptations come and go, much more infrequently now, but I'm happy being sober and do not plan to mess with the happiness.

We need a 3rd party and now. Dems aren't getting it and we can't keep waiting.

La Roux, Weird Al, Queen, Billy Joel

It's strange. I live in rural VT and whenever i bike around you see Trump signs on a lot of farm fields. But then you read the newspaper and you read about ICE detaining legal employees at farms and the farmers being upset about it.

I genuinely don't understand.

Oh I'm currently playing Frostborn and am enjoying it. I will say it just sort of puts you in the game with no tutorial for a lot of things it should tell you.

I always end up going back to Chasing Shadows at some point though, nostalgic fun!

I live in a rural area. We were thinking about starlink a few years ago, then fiber came to our area. Thank goodness. We've literally had no issues, speeds are amazing, and no price hikes.

I wonder if they looked at the data for how people find the website, I'd find it by googling "hbo login"

Is this real? Just listened to Nextlanders take on it this morning and this seems very unexpected!!!

I grew up with and worked at McDs in high school and college. It used to be a family place (play places, fun colors) it used to be a friendly place (you could have birthdays there, cashiers were nice, you'd run into people you know), it used to have prices that were reasonable/cheap.

It is none of those things anymore. Why on earth would I go there when there's a burger place right across the road thar costs maybe $1 or $2 more and is actually good?

Forgot to respond! We bought a bigger flathead screwdriver and that did the trick

I'm at least glad it's not yet another bigger truck. I just want a vehicle to get from A to B that can actually fit things in the bed

 

How can I unscrew and remove this from my tub drain? It won't loosen when turning by hand or flat head screwdriver. It cracked when I tried a wrench

 

I work at a place where data quality is not on anyone's radar. We have a reporting team in our group so we do our best where we can, but combining any datasets with other groups (like marketing & sales) is next to impossible as each team is silo'd and do things their own way - think free-form text fields to tag content...

How can I politely and succinctly say the above? Also, anyone else in a similar boat?

 

Just curious if anyone has any advice for my situation. I am a petite lady who needs to wear business / business casual outfits for work. I've been lifting heavy for the past year or so and my arms no longer fit into my long sleeve shirts (biceps/Triceps are too big). Is there a brand / store / service anyone can recommend so I can buy more fitting business attire? Thanks!

 

In 2023 I had United Health Care as my Healthcare provider. They had $22B+ in profits in 2023. Starting in 2024 they dropped UVM Health Network (a non profit) from their in-network coverage. How can this be allowed? Where can I express my opinion on the matter and at least attempt to have it heard? Thank you.

 

I ran a meeting today and it didn't go as well as I had hoped. My video was delayed from what I was saying, was just overall more nervous than I had hoped to be which than caused me to rush (which didn't help at all with the video delay).

I know logically I should just take this as a learning situation and do better next time. But I can't stop thinking about it. I know I'm going to go to bed tonight and think about all the things I could've done better and not get any sleep.

How do people "change the channel" in their heads?

 

I'm powering through the rest of x files since it's leaving hulu in less than 2 weeks. This is the first season Mulder is missing a majority of it (the actor apparently was suing Fox).

Curious if anyone else thinks Scully's character went a bit downhill in this season? She's coming off as really unlikable and frankly just mean.

Scully is my favorite so it's a bit disheartening.

 

Very new to gardening. Very happy my garden hasn't died with all the crazy rain we're getting here!

Any friendly advice for these crazy cucumbers? They keep expanding! (2 squash on the right, 4 cucumbers to the left of them, then lettuce). Definitely going to give everything more room next year.

 

Last year I started a garden for the first time. Learned a lot! When I picked my squash last year it seemed fine, then I kept it on my counter for maybe a week before I noticed a small rotten spot on the underside. Eventually the rotten spot grew and I just composted the whole squash.

Not sure what went wrong. Was thinking -should I put hay or something under my squash when it starts to grow on the dirt?
