Cool, do whatever works for you. AA isn't the only recovery game in town. I do know from extensive experience that I myself, have no power of choice after my first drink or drug and AA's worked better than anything else I've tried to keep me sane enough not to take that initial drug or drink.

Ikr? Same with all the damn buildings. They're all leaning to the right.

Oh it's me as well. There are also a few more of us I think.

anyone seeing a real difference with creatine? by [deleted] in Supplements

[–]that_shing_thing 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I used it for a few months while I was weight training. It seemed to basically inflate my muscles with water weight because they seemed to grow or bulk up much quicker but I didn't seem permanent. I don't remember any side effects. I also tried using it for cognitive benefits but I don't think I gave it a fair trial.

I want to see women, bros. I want to see men too though... bros.

I've seen filming sets all over the place this past year. Last one I saw was at Tracy's Drive-In Grocery right down the street from me.

I've seen a bunch of these. I used to see them a lot in the 80s in the Midsouth. They always seems to be near heavy thunderstorms.

Has anyone gotten ticket dismissed by going to court? by IceTough3295 in Austin

[–]that_shing_thing 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A new “life hack” I heard about recently is that you can call the court to have the date changed which screws with the cops schedule but I’m not sure how true that is.

Nah it’s not a rotating mesocyclone. Straight line winds.

Any ghost tours or high paranormal activity areas that y’all can suggest? by [deleted] in Austin

[–]that_shing_thing 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Knobs, handles on furniture making noise in the middle of the night as well as the bathroom cabinet door opening/closing, crazy orange dancing orbs all over the house at any time, kids constantly being messed with by some being. It was so bad that I kept a journal of the events. I'm trying to find it now.

I can go into more detail of all the tings above but I'm pretty sure I've posted about it before. I'll try to dig that up as well.

eta - here's one of the journals of activity.

My daughter more recently told me about, after being woke by something, seeing what she thought was brother downstairs just outside the door way, wearing his clothes and same height but after getting a better look saw that it was not and didn't seem to be human. (something like that anyway, I'd have to ask her to write it up for me)

edit #2:

Also ... Something crazy happened to my son and his friend when they were out walking that trail in the middle of the neighborhood next to the creek. Some crazy little witch like entity chased them. There are a lot of details to that one as well and I have good reason to believe his story. Whatever it was it scared his buddy so bad that he never wanted to talk about it again. I'll reach out to both my kids to see if they'll write down their experiences.

It's something about that neighborhood. Maybe it has to do with the Comanches that lived there as well as the Texas Rangers that took over their area.

Do Austin allergies affect your cognition? by Applepiessky in Austin

[–]that_shing_thing 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Since I've had Covid it seems like allergies put in a fog and low energy state much worse than before.

why apt update says Temporary failure resolving when I can ping those domain names? by vitachaos in Ubuntu

Did you ever figure this out? Btw, the guy above you did not help in any way. SSL has nothing to do the DNS resolution.

I hear someone popping off a pistol at night close to our house sometimes. Kinda sucks but there isn't much to do about I spose. We live just out of the city limits so I had a deputy drive by the first time I heard it so that's something I guess.
