I was at a job at the restaurant under the Bean yesterday from about 8:00 am to 7:00-ish pm. $43.00. Luckily, that gets passed on to the client's invoice. Enjoy Indy. I'm jealous.

My wife and I went to the theater district for a concert three weeks ago, we parked for about 20 hours and it was $46. Yeah, kind of expensive but not nearly what I was expecting to pay in the heart of downtown.

Yeah. Not something I really want to rehash, but the tl;dr is I mentioned specifics about a new job. I got fired before my first day and blacklisted company-wide. I was a rehire too, so I would have been able to drop right in and start working with pretty much zero training. I'd previously left on good terms.FAT32 SHAMER posted:speaking of austin me and my brother in law are trying to convince our wives to move to austin because we're sick of michigan lol We're full.

Called back groggy as hell, since it was 2pm, so of course I'm asleep (I'm interviewing for an overnight position, don't usually wake up until about 2:30, normally work 3-11 as it is).  Congrats!

STR posted:(less than 2 miles each way, vs the 100+ miles I drive a day now - I'll probably walk or bike most of the time) This is going to be a huuuuuuuuuuuuge weight off of your shoulders (if you don't realize it yet.) In late 2012 I quit my job as a field technician that had me driving upwards of 4,000 miles/month and started working two months later at an office that was maybe 3 miles from home. I didn't even realize at the time how much stress that much driving was causing me until I stopped doing it.

The ability to kick people from the game was this massive rush I'd never experienced before in my life. I actually went giddy with endorphins the first time I did it. I was in my 30's. I can't imagine being immature and feeling those kinds of feelings.

See, this I understand, because every multiplayer gamer has had to deal with some toxic shitlord at one time or another, and to finally have the power to look down from the bench, raise your gavel, and quietly whisper "No" while loving them into oblivion is a marvelous treat every single time.

Sidenote, Anyone else using CBD? I thought this poo poo was snake oil but after the pain in my elbow persisted I took my friends advice and got some CBD cream and jesus, in four days the pain has diminished tremendously, to the point that the pain is barely even noticeable unless I lift something extremely heavy.

Well I just hit 40 and a year ago moved to a job where I'm doing more than flipping through comic books so there's been a little wear and tear on my elbows. I'm also probably in the best shape I've been in since I was 25 so that probably helps. This stuff is pretty great so far.

Cbd bioavailability is garbage orally. Something like 13% or some nonsense, so to get a decent dose in a pill you have to take a heroic amount in comparison to other routes.

SeaGoatSupreme posted:Cbd bioavailability is garbage orally. Something like 13% or some nonsense, so to get a decent dose in a pill you have to take a heroic amount in comparison to other routes. I have had good luck with CBD, at least initially. I've got a neuroma, which is an inflamed bundle of nerves, in each of my feet. Caused by and aggravated by cycling. I have a standard 25-mile out-and-back loop that gets very painful after the first hour. With sublingual CBD, the onset of the pain is absolutely delayed by 20% or so. Plus, when it hits, it doesn't hit as hard. I recognize that there can be any number of biases that offset actual performance, etc., but in my experience, it helps. Edit: In other news, I went for the comedy option for tires for my Avalon. LIONHART 215/50-17 for $46 each from Amazon. They showed up today. Manufacture date of 10/19... the damned things are only 11 weeks old! Manufactured in Thailand and they look like any other tire I've ever bought. I'll get them mounted/balanced/installed by early next week. I'm anxious to see how they roll. meatpimp fucked around with this message at 21:28 on May 24, 2019 |

I've still got a jar of each the indica that's 2.5mg thc/3.0mg CBD per cap, and sativa that's 2.73 mg thc/3.16mg CBD per cap and i'll probably give it another shot when i'm feeling a little better overall, but i tried everything, including chewing them and keeping it in my mouth, and keeping a bunch of em under my tongue until they got all gooey and gross. It still seems to take a ton. I really don't like smoking or the smell of the poo poo.

I want to try CBD for anxiety, but 1) in TN there's no THC in them and 2) I'm still paranoid af that it'll show up on a drug test.
