I’m a proud new dad as of last week and I’m also proud to say that she gets to know sober dad. My motivation is still internal but she’s given me another awesome reason to be the best version of myself. Day 629, IWNDWYT.
We’re at the hospital now and we can’t wait to meet our little one. Mom’s doing great after they placed the epidural. Excited to join the Dad crew with you all. :)
My dream is to own my own business (just kidding–own several businesses), but I’m currently experiencing financial hardship. After frantically looking for work for over a year with a network that let me down, I finally managed to find part-time work at a local nonprofit....
I’m not one for groups as an introvert, but I listen to the Recovery Elevator podcast for the connection piece. My dog is my best buddy, and he always just listens and lets me rubber duck my problems.
Now that the weather doesn’t suck, I’m going for a run when I get the “this calls for a drink” kinda frustration. Yard work is becoming my new meditation.
Play the tape forward is a classic goto. The tried and true, sleep it off and try again tomorrow hasn’t failed me yet.
… Oh and I use the Habits app with a “IWNDWYT” widget to count my days. I tick it off in the morning and the mental hurdle to uncheck the box and break my streak helps against even having one drink.
My preferred way to browse here is using All and blocking communities I don’t want to see. That way I get exposed to new things I wouldn’t seek out on my own (for example: British archaeology)...
My blocked community list got significantly shorter when they introduced instance blocking. Got pretty tired of playing furry porn community whackamole.
I am a nobody who was stolen from there parents. I’ve spent my life in constant pain and have always been abused. In many ways I Have struggled to stay strong in life and have grown so wise in doing so.

Jokes about bomb threats aren’t exactly cool even if you’re “thick skinned” and “humor filled”. That’s not a trigger warning thing, it’s tactless to joke about harming people when acts of terror are becoming a common occurrence.
I just finished installing an air horn on my truck. Certainly louder which was my goal, but it’s higher pitched than I was expecting. Not sure how I feel about it yet. Still have the OEM horn to replace if it’s annoying.
Would it be making the time for vacations or gatherings? Or if your job requires overtime, you lose out on the time with your family. Do you ever speak up about it or just let things even out?
I have some non-negotiables like sleep and my commute (~2hrs total). That means I have to compromise between time and activities at work or at home. During the winter months when days were short, I sacrificed fitness and stayed in a pattern of work, eat, sleep, repeat. Very little personal time. Days are lengthening and it’s getting warmer, so I plan to focus on my fitness and me again. Life also has seasons, I’m trying to embrace that.
Traveling this week and we got booked at a pretty nice hotel. They had a happy hour cocktail mixer thing with “spiked” and “non-spiked” options. The drink was a Matcha Mule that they would typically serve with whiskey. Not sure if that would have made it better, but it certainly wasn’t awesome as they served it NA. I’ll stick to Arnold Palmers. IWNDWYT!
Time units being base 12, 24, 60 are fairly convenient in that you can divide them evenly in many ways. I find this highly advantageous, turns out lots of folks did too and that’s why we use it today.
I used to get confused doing arithmetic between AM/PM until I switched my life over to a 24 hour clock. Also why folks who do time math often like in hospitals or military use that system. It’s comes down to convenience.
@Thekingoflorda, we understand this is a volunteer effort, but as the community lead, would you be able to shed some light into the status of the upgrade? I don’t think we are asking or pressuring for the upgrade to happen ASAP, just some transparency would be nice. We’re two weeks past the proposed update, and almost a month beyond the last communication on the topic. Appreciate what you all do to provide the community for us, we ask because we care.

Imperial units people, Do you sometimes get confused about time units as well?
Hi, I think in metric units, so almost everything is some form of a power of 10, like a kilogram is a 1000 grams, etc....
vi or emacs?
I think the possible valid answers are: “vi”, “emacs”, “both”, “seriously it’s 2024”, and " huh?"
