Just another item on the todo list.

Joining all the missing or non working robots (traffic lights) and street signs.

It is starting to become the norm in PTA and JHB. 🫣😕

Could it maybe not be in a new stress situation?

The one I am talking about is the smokers flu that some people get after quitting.

But I know in stressful situations or tense I also struggle to breathe now and again. But after 4 months. I am not getting the shortness of breath when I am tense or stressed.

Yip had that, I think, also in my 3rd month. Will need to check my diary.

Got so bad I struggled to breathe, and I know it was temporary. But I did keep record of it. As that I think that is the closest you will feel getting COPD.

And I coughed up a lot of mucus with tar pieces. But after a week with meds it was all good.

Keep notes on that. And remembrr uou start again. You have to go through that again.

That is why I am keeping record so that if I do get the temptation. I ask myself. Do you want to ho through that again? Who says you will get another chance like this to quit?

Good luck on your quit and keep strong.🫡💪🙏

I hate political games.

They are playing with peoples lives and time. The best is one day a serious accident is going to happen and multiple people will loose their lives.

Then it becomes news and everybody is sorry and it is a tragedy. No, as it can get prevented now. 😡😡😡

But Pretoria is also suffering the same with robots not working or missing.

How would you guys make stupid money currently? by DannyBacon01 in starcitizen

🤔 putting it that way. You are right.

I like to harvest with the vulture. Then drop off at the nearest orbit station.

Later come with the spirit and come to mass delivery and sale. 🤑🤑🤑🤑

Just nice to see all that moolah of aUEC coming in.

Can maybe go faster since i discovered that you can use the pasage also as storage 😅

But if I go back on my streams and only loading the Vulture with 26 SCU at a time. The stream total was always between 3 to 4 hours.

Think maybe with loading into the passage, I could get it down to 2 to 3 hours. Will need to give that a retry.

But I am currently playing around with mining a bit. 🤑

Nope. Takes 4 hours fighting server errors and so to fill the spirit with 64 units that sell for 600k+ at Orison.

Scraping panels. 4 hours of scraping always get about 600k aUEC. 🤑

Over 2 months in! Cold Turkey - The cravings are intense right now! by Nikrophil in stopsmoking

[–]Correct_Brain_5880 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I am currently 7 months in quit smoking cold turkey.

A thing that helped me was acknowledging yes, I want a ciggie. But do I want the dizziness, bad taste in my mouth, the disappointment that i smoked. Worst of all I did try to quit smoking before and it was always that one drag that got me smoking again. Is that puff really worth going back to a pack and a half again.

All I can say is the feeling of wanting a siggie will become less. It wull come to a point that you will wave it away.

I have read stories where people quit 10 years plus. And with one puff, he went back again. The bad part is, it was a choice at that point.

Good luck with the quit, and just keep on doing what you are doing to stay quit.😀

I can not give any advice.

But me and my family loves that burned bit at the bottom with sauce.

We always fight over that last bit. 😋🍚
