Gift ideas for a 2 months sober gal..
Hey, everyone.. Sobernauts and all.. My Girl just made two months sober today after having a two week fuck-up and reset.
I'm taking her to a little lake nearby and teaching her how to kayak. But, I'd like to get her a special gift of some sort, too and I absolutely fuckin suck ass at giving gifts.
Anyone have any good ideas you can think of?
Thanks, and I miss y'all. As for my sobriety, I'm fuckin it up at the moment, but trying to not go completely off the deep end. Staying away from liquor and I believe I'm ready to give it up entirely, again.. I'll be back soon.
Happy Birthday! Hope you have the best damn birthday ever!
G'mornin! I will not drink with you today.
I'm late today, but I didn't and won't drink with you today!
Welcome back, CG! Hope you had a beautiful time, man!
Groundhog Day, again!? I'm in! I quit counting days, but it's been a while here! I will not drink with you this day (again)!!!
Evening, y'all! So far so good, I'm not drinking with you this day!
Thanks, FT.
I'll edit the post and add a link at the bottom.
Finally fuckin Friday!
I will not drink with you today!!
There's a great episode of the Timesuck podcast (episode 165: Simo Hayha: White Death)
I'm not going to link to it, because I'm not sure of the thread rules, but it's a seriously well done and researched podcast on the life of this sniper.

Here's a link to "Timesuck episode 165: Simo Hayha: White Death" (I'll use a YouTube link, probably more widely accessible)
G'mornin, y'all! I will not drink with you'ns today!
That made me giggle.
Thanks, Z!
Gray matter, brain, mind, The Boys In The Basement, etc.. The part of us that soaks everything up, mentally.. just something to focus on. The more immersed in something I get, the less I tend to crave getting shit-hammered to try to shut my thoughts down. (And, honestly, alcohol tends to do the opposite of that, anyways.. I would drink to "forget" but the effect was almost always to focus intensely on all the shittiest parts of whatever it was that I was trying to forget in the first place..) Just something I found funny for a moment.
G'mornin! I will stay sober with this wonderful bunch of sweet-assed sober people this day! Mid-week humpday blues, maybe.. But, I'm gonna dig in and get the old gray sponge occupied this morning.
Twosday! I will be not drinking with you guys'n gals this damn day.
Hope y'all have as good a time or better than we did! And definitely wish ya better luck if you're fishing! That's pretty much the only kinda camping we do, no facilities, no worries. But, now the workweek is back and it's time to break the donuts.
Holy shit! I didn't even realize it was Saint Patty's!! That's gotta be a good sign for my sobriety!!! Went camping/catfishing/dryland fishing Friday and just got back. The whole haul for the weekend was a big ol filthy carp I caught yesterday morning (28"er) but still had a fuckin ball! Can't fucking believe I didn't even know it was Saint Patty's Day!! About time to start spring cleaning for us, too.. Fuck, I dread it...
Tried the vape thing years ago and it didn't make a dent in it for me.. but, I know others that got off cigarettes by using them. Never hurts you give it a shot.
Right. Can't blame ya, there. I'm choochin two packs a day, creature of habit. But, I'm not a spring chicken anymore, not entirely out of shape or anything, still active and all, but I'm feeling the out of breath thing these days and I'd like to ditch em just for health and stamina reasons. I kinda like to smoke, though... Keeps my hands engaged.
Finally Friday. I will not drink with you this day.
Detroit Diesel Diagnostic Link (Standard) fucked functionality.
Anyone else using the standard edition of DDDL having recent issues with the loss of Parameter access and other key features on Detroit / Freightliners?
First issue I ran into a while back was with replacing an ACM on one of our trucks. The ability to have the ACM programmed at FL, shipped to me and then resetting the Ash Accumulator at our shop was removed from the Standard DDDL software. After nearly a week of dealing with that shit, Detroit finally temporarily upgraded our software to the Professional version and still, the option to 'Replace ACM' is no longer available in the Standard edition.
Fast forward to now, I have a truck that I need to install fog lamps in. So, I need to turn on its Parameter options in the SAMCAB module. All of the parameters in the SAMCAB, SAMCHASSIS, MSF and ICU are no longer available in the Standard Edition software. This literally guts my ability to do many of my required duties at my job as a heavy truck mechanic. These were all modifiable parameters in Standard Edition in the fairly recent past. This really puts me at an unacceptable disadvantage for the work that I do. I'm turning a very significant amount of my outside labor time on work that requires me to have access to Parameters and Options. It's also killing the work I am able perform on our personal fleet trucks as well.
Are any of you mechanics facing this dilemma, as well? Or have any information that may be helpful in my situation? Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.
If this is posted in the wrong place, any idea where I might better post it? I haven't found any heavy truck threads on Lemmy, yet.
Fish Nerds.
Fish Nerds is a celebration of fish, fishing and eating fish with your host Clay Groves. The goal of the show is to explore all aspects of fish; that is always interesting, usually funny and mostly true.
Fish Nerds. The longest running podcast I listen to. Doc. Martin is a fishing godsend! The entire library is worth every second spent listening.
Fish, Fishing and eating Fish!
Science, recreation, conservation, some of the best humor out there.
Quite possibly the best pod on the Internet. Give it a listen.
I need to post a picture of a fish I caught to Lemmy. How can I do this with IPFS?
Many years ago I posted a few pictures to Reddit using IPFS. It didn't go over very well, the pictures were basically not viewable unless I was online with my node running.
How far has IPFS come in the last eight/nine years or so..?
Is it a fairly decent alternative to something like IMGUR, yet?
I've been out of the loop for nearly as many years, too. But, I'm glad to see the project still here and I'm interested in where it's at these days.
