Goal is going to my B-Day in December. Basically what I did this year, but with a few missteps along the way. Let's do it again this year, but w/o the missteps.

Hah, obvo a mod can't toxx... can they? My longest sober streak was 173 days in 2018, but then I got all happy with myself and started back up again, which caused me to become unhappy, etc etc cycle cycle. It may be a small coincidence that the streak was also when I lost around 40 pounds, and before and after that it's just been kind of hovering. This wasn't usually "heavy" drinking, either, like two beers one weekend or a six pack over a four day break, half a bottle of vodka in one month with diet sodas. I think it's not just the alcohol itself, but the mentality that goes with it for me, hence my long-term goal. I love drinkin' but I love myself more when I'm not, I guess.

Nah but a credit card has some value of worth, negative or positive. A CD is less than worthless, it's entirely neutral in existence. Fight entropy. Give that CD a reason to exist again.

I've been messing around with some of these TPU filaments, and thought that I should finally make a cup/base for my hydroflask-alike. I dropped it a few months ago and it hasn't sat level on the table since, but a carefully designed sleeve fixed that.   Fits perfectly on the first try. Also there are seven rows of 52 "pips" going around. Just squishy enough to keep it from banging on the table, and to give it a good grip, but not "sticky" like silicone sleeves that inevitably get caught inside a backpack or similar.

Hah, I have nowhere else to put this.  E/N bullshit feel free to skip this entire post :Through sheer scheduling and circumstance, I haven't seen my parents for sevenish years, and the last time we actually talked it was back in August, when I was asking them to notarize my "notification of name change" (in my state you have to notify two adults, one of them being a parent if they're still alive, if you change your name). They vehemently refused to sign the notification, so I went around them through a certified letter route, where all you have to do is send them the certified letter, and wait 90 days from the receipt, and use that as evidence of notification. However, on this second go-around, I filed to change my surname, too. Last attempt at contact, and this is childish and the definition of "passive-aggressive" on my end but gently caress them, too, was for Christmas. They always wanted military memorabilia and poo poo because I'm the first member of our "branch" to ever join, but I am decidedly not proud of my military stuff (Guantanamo, and I joined for the Wrong Reasons, etc), so for Christmas (after they cut contact on the day of my name change in October), I sent them a shadow box with my awards/ribbons, name tapes, patches, etc all organized with labels (and even soft LED lighting), because it's just what they've been begging for. But instead of my adoptive last name, I used my now-legal and now-real last name, the one I changed it to. On Dec 24th I asked if they got the package, they confirmed, and on Dec 26th I asked if they opened it. No contact, and on January 1st I got a letter from Sprint stating my line was being cancelled and asking if I wanted to spin it off into it's own contract (I was on their family plan). Ah well, mine was a SERO attached to the family plan, and I can afford it separately. NBD. So, my sister (technically stepsister, I was adopted at birth and she's their bio) is four years younger than me, and has been a gigantic pain in my family's side for her entire teenage-through-to-now life. I haven't seen her for years, and last time I talked to her she was super non-supportive and basically cut contact. Drugs, fights, crashed cars, etc. Where I was told that after 18 I'd have to pay rent to stay living with them, she was still living with them at 27 for free, being an alcoholic). The rest of our family was quiet and introverted. There was one point where I was leaving for the army, and she was attempting to be a manager at a Subway. So, I signed over my car to her (a 1995 Plymouth Acclaim V6, a POS but well maintained and a good daily beater). She went and got it registered, sent me pictures of the new license plates, etc. A year later, out of AIT, I get a call from an impound lot: the car had been towed from the scene of a hit-and-run accident as the at-fault vehicle, and had two simultaneous title loans on it that had defaulted. I was the last registered owner. The license plate she showed me? She stole that off of a car at the MVD lot so I wouldn't get angry that she was driving an unregistered vehicle. Two days ago she got into a fight with her neighbor, involving him pushing her into an extinguished fire pit, and her then rampaging through his house and knocking town TVs and appliances and stuff. She was put into the local jail to cool off, and decided to get into a fight there, where she was stabbed in her spleen, and she died at the hospital. I've done the standard "cry uncontrollably for eighteen hours" thing that may-or may-not happen to some people dealing with grief, but now my parents have contacted me to ask if I could come up next weekend for the funeral. I'm an unemployed student and can't afford this time off or plane tickets or anything, especially at the tempo this program is going. And, truly thinking about it, I don't want to. This is gonna come off as angry through text, but gently caress these people. They're the type of parents that danced around the "L word" growing up, didn't hug/etc, and then decide to cut all contact just because I'm being me. E: not looking for specific sympathy or anything, just had to put this all down on paper/somewhere, y'know. Back to your regularly scheduled slushbox chat

If I ever build my own house, or get a nice one to retrofit, I want the most powerful central vac system ever created. I also want the hose to come out of one of those slide-out cabinet things, strung up like a firehose in a hospital or something on a rack. Like one of these. I also want solid core pocket doors in every room because I like them and gently caress you  And every wall gets an ethernet jack next to one of the outlets. Yeah, I don't care that it's a kitchen. YOU DON'T KNOW.

What a weird loving album. Found it at Bookmans for $10, it's three 12" LPs that are run at...45? And apparently there were only a thousand, each one is hand-etched, not pressed according to discogs and this article. Just...weird. It also came with this card attached, inside  Which is great, because the website, the QR code site, and the paper USB thumbdrive thing (that I plugged into a burner netbook, it simply autoruns and opens up a Run command and types the website out really fast) website are all broken as gently caress This is the URL it was trying to access.Through side 1 right now, and it's pretty dope and/or fresh. I could get into this, too bad the artists have evaporated into aether faster than The Modernaire did.

Miele vacuums are the poo poo, I can highly recommend them. Yeah, it's like the cost of two vacuums, but it's better and will last longer than both combined. Dysons are traaaaaaaaaaaash

Three thousand dollars. You can buy four-six Miele vacuums for that, and a Miele doesn't weigh a thousand pounds.

Right now I have a pthbtbtbtbtbtbtbtttt whatever brand, but it has a retractable cord and that's all that matters right now in this tiny 400 sqft apartment. However, in the last two houses I had a Miele canister (gave it to my ex, she's got the two kids and two dogs) and I can say with confidence that nearly any bagged vacuum is better than any canister vac, just down to how the air is routed alone. It being a lifetime/heritage product like Miele was just icing. I will definitely buy again, as long as they don't go to poo poo in the next three years or whatever. Kirbys were okay, but even in the 80s they were heavy for what they did. For half the price you could get a bagged Hoover that had the same suction. And yeah, I know that bags are so faux pas in today's day and age, but there's a reason it's what commercial services use. You can pack a bag right up tight, and if you buy in bulk bags are like $0.25-1.00 each, which can be nothing the grand scheme of things, about the same monthly cost or less than trash bags, owing to how much longer and more full they last. Don't be fooled into thinking "well, I have to dump the canister every time I use it, so that would be a bag each time." Nah, nah. It's like 8 canister dumps per standard Miele upright bag capacity, or 15-20 bagless empties per canister vac bag.
