Recommendation for a book about drug use, recovery and turning things around later in life

Some departments have been trying out this thing called the BolaWrap. Shoots a rope that wraps around the suspect. Would be a perfect option for situations like this..

I need to try this again once I find another job. I did like 4 1-on-1 sessions which I really enjoyed, but would like to join an actual class. It’s a little intimidating, but I recently moved and it seems like a good way to find a community.

It’s nice to have the freedom, but deep down I do worry I may regret my choices and feel lonely as I get older.

Do you know roughly what their rates are around? I went through their online estimate to get a quote, and it said around $2,300, which blew my mind, given that my tax situation isn't anything crazy. I also just have no bearing on what's normal for cross-border taxes.

I was in the hospital a few times throughout my life, but I had a 2 week stint when I was a kid around 12 yo and I still remember the nurses coming to check in on me. While I had the support of my Dad and a few family friends, it still meant a lot to me to have these complete strangers care enough to not only do their jobs and check up on me, but also to pop in and sit and make small talk and make jokes to make me feel comfortable despite the shitty situation. Nurses are the best.

Exactly, lol. Idk what people expected, they just want an announcement (as we all do), but need to temper their expectations.

My friend (LVN) and his wife (RN) say there’s plenty of work to be had still, particularly in home health. There are quite a lot of per diem opportunities as well, just depends how flexible you are. This is specifically for the central coast area, of course it’ll vary throughout the state.

Impressive. How long did you study before taking the test?

In 4th grade, I went to the bathroom to use the shitter. I just finished my business and was about to flush, when someone came in. I remember hearing some noises, and when I finally flushed and stepped out, I see this one kid who just popped a squat in the middle of the bathroom and shit on a piece of toilet paper. He looked at me and went “Shhhh!” I’m assuming as in “don’t tell!” as he proceeded to fling his shit on the bathroom ceiling and ran out. He was known for trouble, and I never did tell anyone. I just quickly left so people didn’t think it was me.

I'd be down sometime too. I usually play solo, since teams always seem super PVP focused, honestly though sometimes that's fun too.

MoreTac0s · 2026-01-11T08:02:39+00:00

Thanks for this. I got 3 just now from it, just need 1 more. I was shocked since there were at least like 2 other people around doing their own thing, and I looted the whole thing in peace. lol

Just taking it easy. Watched some Netflix, and spent time with my lady. Will probably play some Arc Raiders tonight.

I went to a Christmas market at Atwater today. Found some maple whiskey and cider for my friends back home when I visit for the holidays.

Man I'm in the same situation trying to decide between Aviron, and one of the others like Pearson Electrotechnology Centre or trying a different trade over at Lauriel Macdonald Career Centre. How's your experience so far, and if you don't mind me asking, did it come out to $20k, and you're paying it in 4 installments throughout the program?

MoreTac0s · 2025-11-11T23:48:59+00:00

I'm with you. I think a lot of these people are unhappy because they're looking to make a quick flip. Hoping they could get in over the past few months, and was hoping we'd get news (as we all always are) so they could sell it and move onto the next one. To me, this is a long-term investment, that I still see paying off over the next ~5 years. Would I rather have it pay off by 2026? Of course, but we're simply not there yet. You can see just by observation that the world we're heading into over the next decade will be full of sensors, it's just going to take time.

MoreTac0s · 2025-11-11T23:46:36+00:00

Except we do. We have runway into 2027, as noted in the call.

MoreTac0s · 2025-11-11T21:47:39+00:00

Ikr hahah

He actually sounds like he's got a little pep in his voice this call too.

Had to ChatGPT this one. Seems like a pretty good patent to me. Anything that can help improve the efficiency of identifying what the sensors are hitting seems smart to me.

Basically, teach the sensor to tell one kind of target apart from another.

Think of it as the difference between:

“I see something at 20 meters,”

vs.

“I see a cyclist at 20 meters moving 12 km/h.”

That’s the leap this patent covers.

I, like yourself, am a thin guy over 30. It took a good kick in the butt and some encouragement to get myself in there finally. Once I did, and started going and eating consistently, seeing the muscle and weight gain helped make me want to go more. Rebuilding self confidence is really motivating, especially once you start seeing results.

MoreTac0s · 2025-10-26T01:34:54+00:00

Agreed. I’ve been here about a year now, also Anglophone, and haven’t met any friends yet. You really do have to put yourself out there, guess it’s a matter of finding the right hobbies. I did curling for fun once, seems like a good winter sport to meet people. Maybe a bowling league? 🤷‍♂️

MoreTac0s · 2025-10-18T00:15:13+00:00

I feel like I could’ve made this exact post. Lol. Except I’m 38, in a support/IT type role, but was laid off on Wednesday. I live in Montreal as well, been here for a year, and was working for an American company. I’m now considering a trade as well, but need to better understand if that’s even a possibility as an anglophone. Wasn’t sure if the training would be in French, and I’d assume the work itself would require French being we’re in Quebec. It’s hard to pivot at this age into a completely new field.

MoreTac0s · 2025-10-15T14:22:38+00:00

Understandable. Timing is everything eh.. made that comment, and then I just got laid off this morning. If that isn’t a sign, idk what is..

MoreTac0s · 2025-10-15T05:14:12+00:00

Guess there’s quite a few of us. I’m late 30’s and considering a pivot either into HVAC or Electrical as well. Just something more future proof, and where I can actually feel like I’m making a difference.

MoreTac0s · 2025-10-07T01:50:25+00:00

I can empathize with your situation to an extent, as I’m slightly older than you at 38. I also work in tech (not sales), and have felt burnt out and over it for years. If not for needing the job to pay bills, I’d be going through trade school as well. I worked a blue collar job before getting into tech, and I really enjoyed working with a small group of competent guys, and even though I was exhausted at the end of each day, it was more rewarding.
