Because people would immediately call him a sell out. And because it then would be the property of whatever company, and he could be tied legally from recreating it.

I used to do this with audacity. It's fun to open an image, and apply some audio filters to it, then export it. Makes for some interesting photo fuckery results.

Better to cut it out early for sure. It didn't take me years to go from being able to quit without issue to having seizures in medical detox so bad they had to keep me sedated for 3 days.

I've got 38 days today. Last night was my first NYE without alcohol in decades. Tried to sleep through it, but was woken to hundreds of gun shots, which is fun.

But I made it. Planning on hitting a meeting today with a house mate from the sober house. I'm not much of one for 12 step meetings, but it's a low cost to pay for the opportunity to get my life back together over the next 13 months in this program.

Depending on your level of use, be aware that alcohol withdrawal can directly kill you. Be careful if you notice any intense symptoms like cold sweats, tremors, nausea and vomiting.

Any chance of a new link for discord?

I appreciate it. I'm struggling for sure. Stuck inside at the sober house for a few more days - blackout period and all that. The house is in the hood. Literally heard automatic gunfire last night. Ugh. I'm just venting and I'm done now. For now lol.

I'm sitting here, bored as hell in a sober living house. Struggling to not lose my mind right now, but just keep remembering I've got 37 days clean and sober for the first time in forever.

The cravings are real as fuck.

Oh that's cool. I didn't know that. Thanks for sharing!

I knew it wasn't spelled exactly like the bird lol. But yeah I used that shit for years. I don't really have a use for it anymore or I'd probably still be using it

I used that until they pay walled it. Then I found Pidgen I believe it was called. It was open source and could connect to pretty much every messenger and IRC and stuff. Then my friend just switched to texting lol

Lync was such garbage. I used that for years at one of my old jobs. Teams just feels like discord with extra shittiness lol.

The worst part is that they had developed an in-house app that worked amazing but abandoned it for teams.

I'm looking to sell my laptop. I've used stuff like DBAN before but that nukes the whole drive obviously. Is there any good way to leave the OS intact after a reset but also make sure that there's no recoverable data?

Any ideas are appreciated. Thanks!

Edit to add: I don't have the product key for the pre installed Windows 10 OS. Maybe there's a way to recover that and reinstall after a full wipe?

One of my best friends died tonight and this was his favorite band. Pour one out and skank a bit for Eric. Love you and I'll miss you forever man.

Connection: old school/lo-fi hip hop style that kinda references cartoon characters

 

Connection: "So"

I just really wanted to share this as one of my favorite songs from an insanely underrated artist.

 

Connection: Chris Cornell created this superband as a tribute to Andrew Wood from Mother Love Bone

 

Curious if I'm overthinking things or if this might actually be possible. I got out of detox yesterday and the experience was... Bad this time around. I was really triggered by my treatment by the staff and wanted to drink so badly. I didn't, but I did meet up with a few friends and have a few near beers. 3 over the course of 4 hours. By my calculation, that should be 0.18oz of alcohol max, if the brewery is to be believed.

They were Athletic, which is a pretty trusted brand. I didn't feel intoxication at all. It just helped with the cravings and stuff.

About 4 hours after my last one though, I could swear I had pretty bad withdrawal symptoms for about an hour and a half. Cold sweats, intense nausea, severe anxiety - granted I always have anxiety lingering around. No tremors thankfully, and it passed.

The only other idea I had was food poisoning from getting non hospital food, but I've never heard of food poisoning lasting that shortly.

Thoughts? Either way I'm staying away from the near beer for at least a week.

 

I'm on version 1.0.95 on Android. Google pixel 6 pro. Any thoughts?
