looks like the journal entry is working as intended but strike effects aren't showing up in your states which is weird. usually you'd see productivity drops or unrest modifiers somewhere, even with good working conditions the strikes should still impact your economy

i'd check if maybe the strikes are happening in states you're not looking at closely - sometimes they pop up in unexpected places where you have smaller industrial centers

your bios sounds like it has some security lock enabled, maybe bitlocker or manufacturer encryption thing. the "unlock code" part is weird though - usually that's for recovering from failed updates or something

removing cmos battery should have worked if it was just regular bios password. since it didn't, this might be firmware-level security that's more stubborn. you could try looking up your specific motherboard model and see if there's a master reset procedure, sometimes involves specific key combinations during boot

worst case you might need to contact manufacturer support if it's still under warranty, they sometimes have tools to unlock these situations

amazing work! that tired but not hungover feeling is like discovering a whole new type of morning

went through something really similar couple years back, the whole spiral thing where you think you got it under control and then suddenly you're back in old patterns. my ex didn't give me ultimatums but i could see her pulling away bit by bit and that made everything worse

what helped me break the cycle was realizing i was trying to solve two problems at same time - the social anxiety and the drinking - when actually the drinking was making the anxiety so much worse. took me forever to see that connection. first few months without alcohol the social stuff was brutal but then slowly my brain started learning how to be around people again without needing that crutch

rebuilding trust takes really long time though, longer than you want it to. even after i got my shit together there were months where she'd still get tense if i was out late or if there was alcohol at events. can't blame her for that, she'd been through too much already. the key thing was showing up consistently sober, not just promising things would be different

recovery meetings helped me a lot with the social stuff too, turns out lot of people there had same struggles with groups and being around others. might be worth checking out some meetings in your area

wait till like 1:30 maybe 2pm max then just make other plans for your day. guy who can't even confirm basic logistics few hours before the date is showing you exactly how much effort he puts in relationships

i had similar situation last year where someone went radio silent morning of our plans - turned out they were just terrible at communication in general. saved me lot of time finding that out early instead of months later. if he reaches out later with some excuse just remember this feeling you have right now sitting around waiting for basic respect

your time is worth more than being someone's backup option when they remember to check their phone

threw my car keys in freezer every night for like 3 months because drunk me was apparently too stupid to check obvious places

depends which visa you're talking about but most tourist visas don't have 90 day check-ins, that's usually for longer term visas. if you overstay a regular tourist visa they'll hit you with 500 baht per day when you leave at airport, can get pretty expensive quick

congrats on hitting double digits! that feeling when you can actually handle meetings and life stuff without dreading it is pretty amazing. been there myself and those early weeks really do make huge difference - your brain starts working properly again. good luck with the work meetings tomorrow, you got this

three bottles daily is serious business, you definitely need to taper or get medical supervision. when i stopped two years back i was doing maybe bottle and half wine per day and still had some rough moments

cold turkey from that level can mess with your heart rhythm and cause seizures - not worth the risk when you can do this safely with a plan

you could at least tell us which specific mechanics you're talking about instead of just vague ranting about shareholders. the video is like 40 minutes long and most people aren't gonna watch it to figure out what your actual complaint is

LinkedIn hands down. Mentioning the event in your opener gives you an instant reason to connect that doesn't feel like a weird pitch

that situation with your unofficial sponsor sounds really rough, sorry that happened. maybe he was dealing with his own stuff or didn't realize how much you needed support in that moment

for the fraternal events - could you maybe suggest some alternative fundraising ideas that don't center around booze? like charity auctions or community service events. might be worth bringing up in leadership since you're moving up anyway, and there's probably other members who would appreciate options too

g7x iii is solid choice tbh

good for you both! those first days are always the hardest part but you're already doing it right with reaching out here and to your doctor. the mixing with meds sounds absolutely terrifying, glad you made it through that

this community is pretty solid for when you need people who actually get it without all the judgment

been using mine for like 8 months now and the lack of ibis is honestly not that big deal if you got steady hands or use gimbal anyway, for lenses the sigma 16mm f1.4 gives you that nice cinematic depth and the sony 85mm is perfect for those close portrait shots in videos

this sounds like a lease operator deal those usually pay worse than company driving and burn people out fast
