It blew my family's mind the first time I showed them the Monterey Bay Aquarium's seafood list. My dad never ate much sushi to begin with (he's mostly a fried shrimp guy), but it seriously changed my mom's eating habits. Sustainable seafood seems to be more of a thing in Houston these days but it's still a major problem.

So y'all work in the industry: how gimmicky is this? Because I don't see how the hell a sushi joint is going to make enough money to employ a full time marine biologist to keep the fishtanks clean:

Marine Biology is the kind of market where there are many times more qualified marine biologists than there are marine biology positions, so I bet this one is making $peanuts.

I'm gonna stop drinking because I saw this movie Colossus. As it turns out, me and the wife have a problem. It didn't feel like one, but man, I should do something productive with my off time, not drink myself into a happy stupor.


That said, I'll still drink when I'm out, but no more booze at home, because I legit don't know when to stop.

Drink all you want duders, but when you HAVE to drink, maybe try to replace that with something else. For me, it's gonna be cycling, or gym time.



gently caress this industry, and I'll do everything I can to make it better for all of us.


Fake edit: I've been drinking, if that isn't obvious. I hate myself, I'll be better soon.

Tucked away in a secret location in the Rockies, Dr. Charles Forbin (Eric Braeden) has developed a massive computer system, dubbed "Colossus," that is supposed to ensure the nation's safety against nuclear attack. But when Colossus connects to a similar Russian computer, "Guardian," the intelligent machines begin conducting a private dialog. Nervous as to what they might be plotting, Forbin severs the connection, only to have Colossus threaten a nuclear attack if the link isn't restored

It's real easy to not notice it getting to be a problem. It took one of my friends cracking jokes about the forest of bottles on my kitchen counter to really realize I was putting down a fifth of gin every two days for a while there. Good luck, man, getting out of the stress pot of the industry (and the financial stress it induced) made a night and day difference for me.

In late august I went to the doctor for a grab bag of problems. Fatigue, trouble meaningfully sleeping, difficulty focusing, etc.

The doctor (who spoke with a very thick Pakistani accent if it helps your mental image) asked briefly about my family history. Oh your dad's a high functioning alcoholic? Your mom "closes bars"? Your sister is due for her court ordered 28 days?

Then he poked me in the right side. And I said "OW!" and he yelled even louder "that should not have hurt!!! Stop drinking! STOP DRINKING!!!" Pronounced moderate acute alcoholic hepatitis on the spot and threatened cirrhosis and said again that I should stop drinking.

I ain't Jesus and I've fallen off the wagon a couple times for both work and play related reasons and this loving election is presently at this minute not helping matters, but yes: the alcoholism is real and it fucks with you. And tbqh i crave my next period of sobriety, because once you get over the several-day hump of feeling like a lovely lil' cuss who hasn't had his medicine you feel so, so so much better. You sleep through the night. You wake up with all the energy and focus you think is appropriate. Your skinnyfat disappears (or your fatfat as the case may be).

If weed were legal I'd get back on that poo poo and never look back :(

I wonder what this will mean for the industry south of the 49th - both in a direct sense from activity regarding wages and workers rights and immigration, and also from an indirect sense - namely, how the economy reacts, which tends to impact consumer spending on things like dining out.

I mean, I've eaten my share off diners plates before, but that's usually after I personally have fulled assessed whether it will kill me. I don't know if I'd trust anyone else to do that kind of judgment or not.

When I worked at a sushi place I definitely ate a piece a handful of times but that's easy to see what's touched and not. Most of the people there did and it was at a nicer place.

But not a half eaten steak or chewed on food...
