I still read usually, just didn't post. I'm out near Lakeland, so not too far. We actually did a little hotel trip in Decmeber to Madeira beach and I kept trying to remember where you worked down there.

We'll have to get together at some point, probably meet up at st Pete GP or something. I, for once, have a normal goddamn schedule and I don't know what the gently caress to do with free time.

Lol, it's a funny thing when you get out of the military life. It's surreal at first. You mean I can do anything I want at anytime now? What is this thing you call freedom? Once you get used to it again you'll wonder why you ever went in to begin with. I'll definitely be at the GP, my son and I go every year. Although this year I'm a little nervous because I didn't buy my usual seats, supposedly my wife is getting free tickets through work so we'll see how that goes. They are coming straight from a Firestone rep so I'm hoping we get good seats, maybe even paddock passes. We'll see you there for sure dude.

I spend over a month a year (spread out) in Florida at the beach and I love every second of it. Of course these are beach towns.

Once you get used to it again you'll wonder why you ever went in to begin with. Yeah, it's taking some serious getting used to. The new beard is loving awesome though. I'll just be doing GA like I do for every race, but I'll def be there. Trying to do Daytona next weekend but I doubt it'll work out. Sebring is going to happen for sure, though, and whatever dirt races I can make also. Being pretty glued to M-F makes it easier.

I need some help. Is anyone here an actual alcoholic? I'm having what can only described as a craving for a drink and the sensation is kind of disturbing.

I mean...im deffo an alcoholic, but what are the circumstances? Because I can quit for months on end but some situations just trigger that urge where nothing else feels like it'd help.

I call that 5 pm. But seriously a rough/long/whatever day makes most humans crave a drink. The craving isn't odd depending on the rest of the drinking you're doing.

I have all but quit drinking (there is still booze in the house) not because I had a problem but to get healthy. I had an exceptionally bad day and when I walked past the liquor cabinet when I got home it felt like I hadn't eaten in days but the growling wasn't in my stomach. I used to joke that I was a functional alcoholic but I never had a actual problem.

Do you just want to have a drink after a hard day, or do you want to drink a lot? Big distinction IMO

Have a drink man. Poor a few ounces in a measuring cup and put the bottle away. Most hard liquors are something thing like 90 cal/oz so pour 4oz and that's only 360 calories. Nothing that will set you back and should take the edge off.

I'm gonna hit the elliptical in about half an hour so gonna pass on actually drinking. I'm also not saying that I am a full blown alcoholic, I just want to get some perspective on the physical sensation.

Distract yourself for 20 minutes and the craving will usually pass.

Wow, YouTube have just made a big change to who can and can't monetise videos with ads. From next month it changes from a 10k channel view threshold to 1k subscribers and 4k hours of view time in the preceding 12 months. They're also going to be actively having real people curating things for "preferred" status, blatantly a direct response to the Logan Paul poo poo.

Barely interesting delivery story. Had one come in today. "Extra $5 if you bring Swishers".  STONER IN DISTRESS SPOTTED. Fired him a text just asking what flavor. He responded. I brought food, I brought Swishers, pretty sure I had a contact high before I even got out of my car. I can't ignore a pothead in distress call! (no, I did not smoke... I won't drive when high, and it was the beginning of my shift) Cage posted:Shoot you don't even need rwd. An easily accessible hand brake will give you plenty of fun. This. When we actually do get winter precip, it turns into solid ice on the roads. Once the roads are empty I steer with the parking brake.  Nothing like sliding sideways past your place of employment (on the road, mind you) and getting a text 30 seconds later from your boss saying "STOP DOING THAT IN FRONT OF THE STORE" (followed by texts/FB messages from coworkers asking how crazy I am, since they'd all given up trying to deliver hours ago... and I was still out doing delivery until there was no more to deliver) Somewhat Heroic posted:My first car was a 1980 Pontiac Bonneville. It was the length of a city block and had a slow as balls 4 barrel V8. The length made it stupid easy to just hang the tail of the car out for a quarter mile at a time on my way to high school. Just a series of over-corrections all the way down the unplowed roads was hilarious. 1980 F-150 here, but with a 2 barrel V8. I think it had 130 hp... new. I don't know how many times the odometer rolled over by the time I got it. It would barely break one wheel loose in the rain if you power braked it. The only time I ever managed to actually spin both rear tires was on an icy road (it struggled even on dirt roads.. that thing was tired). iwentdoodie posted:Anyway, that's my STR length post to hopefully come out of jail and be able to post again because I miss you fucks.

Rhyno - you're not an alcoholic. Sometimes cravings are just that, a craving. But if you want to be sure, send me the recipe for your man sauce so I can make my own.

I've been making some crock pot oatmeal lately, I never really cared for oatmeal but its been turning out really good - much better than instant. Its worth it alone for the smell of warm cinnamon in your house all day.

I'm down in Atlanta, and there was a dusting of snow. It's like a state of emergency here, schools closed, radio hosts urging people to stay off the roads, anecdotes how even with their mighty 4x4 they were barely able to make it in, hilarious skid marks on the road from the few brave souls who decided to venture out. As a native of the frozen north, Ahahahahahaha.

To be honest, if you aren't seeing at least those kinds of numbers, you'll make piss-all money from ads anyway, so while I agree it does little to properly stop the real shite that's on there (and YouTube dont actually want to, as it makes them big money), it's not really going to hurt the smaller channels in a measurable way. How YouTube recommends videos and prioritises whether it's your content that gets pushed to people, that kind of black box algorithm stuff is what people should be concerned about if they're interested in channel growth.
