There is no trick. This will require active repragramming from you for months.

I couldn’t find a quit method that took the fight out of my addiction. You have to want to quit more than your addiction. That’s nice but doesn’t mean much.

I found in practice, this equates to action in meeting cravings with determination. Even if you don’t really feel it. You’re used to feeling anxious/angry/sad/sorry for yourself when you can’t have a cigarette. Take back that moment, that feeling. Redefine it. It’s a battle you’re choosing, and the best thing you can do is practice fighting it.

The plus side is, the battle will change as you fight it. So you won’t get bored!

The first two weeks are the hardest.

You already know the first fight, if you’ve ever had to wait for the shops to open to buy some cigarettes or tobacco. You’ve just got to raw dog that. It’s going to suck, but it will at least suck with purpose.

After about 4 days, I started getting spiky, intense cravings that passed after about 30 mins to an hour. Several times a day.

By week two, I only struggled when I was around smokers, saw it on tv, read about it, had a drink (it’s still hard).

There was a resurgence in cravings in month two. I felt I’d earned a puff or two. This is a trap. Notice it, it’s a useful trigger to double down on deciding not to smoke

I’m now a year in off of vaping and cigarettes. It’s still sometimes hard, but mostly I don’t think about it, except to be glad I don’t need to go for a smoke. I don’t miss things at parties anymore. I don’t miss moments with my daughter. Plane rides are way easier.

Yeah, and the toys sold at bad-dragon.com are plenty firm

Hell yeah. Every one of these threads makes me more inclined to read man pages

How does that work for broadcasts from your device, designed to prompt beacons from dorman aps you might have joined before? Once you join it provides a random mac, but before then?

ketchup, mustard and relish, mixed in a 3:2:1 ratio is a fair faximilie of the sauce on an A&W’s Mama burger.

It’s my go to now for every burger!

My friend and I tried this with sevtech ages. Too heavy, too much, too slow.

We switched to life in the village with iris shaders, and we’re much happier!

It changes up two to four days.

Currently it’s Witness (Hope 1), by Roots Manuva.

Last week it was The Caves of Altamira, by Steely Dan

I’ve been eying up this one. Have you used other ereaders before? Have you got anything to compare it to?

I hear that having a screen that isn’t flush with the touch surface really improves the word clarity. I’m not really enjoying my paperwhite 5 because it’s has a weird blurred effect on the screen because it’s flush

I bought strawberry nesquik the other day and made a litre of it in a mason jar.

I’ve given up smoking, vaping, and recently caffeine. Leave me this one vice!

Well I think you’re my kind cat!

Chef Boyardee and Heinz Tinned Spaghetti.

If I’m doing a grocery shop alone, I can’t be trusted not to buy some. Sometimes I bring some home. Sometimes it doesn’t make it.

Oh yeah, I like it cold too. I know I’m a monster.

When opening from the liftoff client on iOS, it doesn’t work for me:

Try forge, I’ve had some minor difficulties on gnome 45, but it seems like a competent tiling extension otherwise

There’s a great talk on the same topic he gave at the Long Now Foundation back in 2012, the Q and A adds a bit to the users vs owners chat

Same situation for me - only my desk mate plays accuradio over speakers like we’re in a fucking gym. I can barely keep focused on anything

Amen. Managed to ‘prove’ I was competent enough to run linux on my personal laptop due to a combination of needing me as an employee and that I was able to show why their RDS solution broke after an official windows update with xfreerdp.

I keep my windows workstation up to date and switched on - but all work is done from my laptop and no one’s questioned me so far.

Strictly according to the IT policy, Windows is not required - they just thought I wouldn’t be able to access anything without it. When I proved to the auditors that I met every checkbox on the requirements list, they said it was fine too xD

I mean, maybe test the water supply? Odds are there’s something very wrong with it these days

Bermuda here, straight from the tap!

It actually gets collected from rain water on each individual home’s roof. The roofs are lime-washed to kill the really nasty stuff as it runs down in to a holding tank under the house. Some times you get dead critters in there, but nothing larger than a small lizard or bug. They tend to sink to the bottom of the tank, below the outlets.

Most Bermudians swear by a “cup of bleach” thrown down there every couple of years. It’s in to a tank that’s 10,000gal+ at a minimum (mine’s over 40,000), so it’s basically homeopathy at that point - but the lime-wash works!

The only place you’ll want to avoid it in Bermuda is in the City of Hamilton (mains, not great quality), a house with a dirty roof, or in one near the sole power station on the island. This is an on-going fight to get them to adhere to the emissions safety standards they claim to.
