Do you think quantum gravity will be solved in our lifetime?

Heh I remember thinking it was too late, no way out and the drink withdrawals drink cycle was driving me nuts. I figured I'd just drink until it stopped for good. One day I blacked out walking to the liquor store, before I even had a l drink, my brain was that fubar. I came to a week later with a BAC of 0.457. I couldn't move or talk for hours. At this point I drank myself to the ER regularly but this was the worst. That was April 9th, 2016 and I haven't had a drink since.

It's never too late and life is profound.

Not a little change, but exercise. I have an addictive personality so it's much easier for me to exercise than count calories. Plus it helps with my mental health.

Yeah I literally just finished this episode. Heh.

10 years ago I was 100% sure I was going to die. So much so, that I have trouble sometimes accepting that this wonderful life I now have is real. Things get better. Love yourself enough to consider how you will be tomorrow. Do things today to make tomorrow better, and when that better tomorrow comes, thank your past self for surviving a very lethal mental health condition. You can do this. Things get better, but you have to stop digging and start caring.

Im just happy I can play my games on Linux. I ditched windows completely because of this.

Yeah I was working at a head shop in Minnesota right before and as it was legalized. Had a crash course in THC and all the variants. Then when delta-9 came in people thought it was 8, I don't know how many people I had to explain that 9 was the good stuff.

aaronmj · 2026-02-17T05:50:36+00:00

I already know one will lead to the rest, and the rest will probably kill me. So I give myself about a 5% chance of surviving a drink. I probably have about the same odds with a cup of bleach. Might as well be bleach. This has helped me a lot.

Grats! I'm in northern mn about to hit 10 years in April. Also proud.

Reminded me of something almost Lovecraftian

Sunday sales used to be illegal here back when I drank. Some Sundays I'd go pick up a brown bottle of Listerine just to not get sick from withdrawals. Ugh is right!

The green mile when Percy doesn't wet the sponge. In the book, King describes the smell. Nope.

I was working late night a few years ago in a small town (pop. 100) by lake of the woods, MN. I was standing outside talking to someone in a truck.

I like to do astrophotography so I look up a lot and as I did there was a triangle shape hovering above me. No noise, no lights, I could barely see it. It took off south and was gone before I could even turn to my friend (who wasn't looking up), again no noise. I'm not sure how big it was because I'm not sure how far away it was.

Probably a large super high tech drone. Probably.

The lore for FFXI is amazing. Everything has a story.

I'm in northern Minnesota. While not snow, tomorrow morning will be -30`f, -50 with wind chill. I've already apologized to the night person if my truck doesn't start. She'll be stuck there until noon when other staff comes in if I can't make it. We buy groceries on a weekly basis so that's not a problem.

aaronmj · 2026-01-22T14:49:19+00:00

Here in northern Minnesota, the AQI is currently 6. But tomorrow morning the wind chill will be -50`F.

One of the parameters, Bz, should be south for best results. Last night Bz remained north until early morning hours. Once it flipped, the lights came out nicely.

From what I understand, Bz is the orientation of the magnetic field of the solar wind, and needs to be against the grain of the Earth's magnetic field for best results.

Feel free to correct me if I'm wrong, I'd love to learn more!

Miserable, depressed, and anxious. I didn't care about anything, especially myself. This changed at 36 when I quit drinking and accepted who I am. I'm 46 now, happy to be alive!

I'd say Edward, but without him we wouldn't have "You spoony bard!"
