We've got some medical goons here, I'm reading that in a cardiac arrest situation you'd intubate in most any situation so "not breathing on his own" really is just consistent with administering CPR? E.g. it's not actually information about his condition other than what we already know - that he needed CPR?

This is what my SO is telling me, yeah. She also said that once they get him to the hospital he’ll go on a vent and be in a medically induced coma until at least tomorrow. We’re not going to know any more tonight it seems.

You're a beer drinker, right? Check out Athletic Brewing's line of NA beers. They absolutely scratch the beer itch for me. They were crucial for cravings when I first decided to stop drinking.

e: whoops I re-read your post after I quoted it and you've already been at it a few months. Leaving my post for any beer drinkers though.

Athletic is the best NA beer I’ve ever had. I keep a couple of sixers around for when I feel like having a drink but don’t want the alcohol. Some of them you can legitimately forget that it’s NA until you’re two-thirds through it and aren’t feeling anything.

It’s weird how easily the daily habit can creep up. I was a social drinker for 20+ years and the isolation of Covid + mid- to late-30s dad interpersonal friendship fade just started turning up the loneliness and boredom. Before I knew it was knocking down 4-5 beers a night without even getting intoxicated, purely as habit.

Had a bit of clarity and decided it’s just not healthy anymore and I wasn’t in control of my relationship with ETOH anymore, so now I’m sober.

It’s insidious how many little tendrils it can finagle into your life. I wish I’d been in control because I do enjoy social drinking but it’s just not for me anymore. :shrug:

It’s wild how differently people react to the same stressors. When the first wave of COVID hit I pretty much gave up drinking entirely. I’ve always been more of a social drinker anyway, but the first night after I had 3 or 4 and woke up the next day to what was still basically hell on earth, I decided the Whisky Psychic Damage Multiplier wasn’t worth it.

My circumstances weren’t unique by any means but nothing changed for me professionally as an :jerkbag: essential worker :jerkbag: and if anything stress went through the roof, then daycare closed, wife went WFH and I lost all avenues of stress relief and/or disengagement other than like afternoon-evening-night porch beers.

Then as things eased up the habit was set, in addition to the social drinking that came back.

I’m sure I’ll miss it at some point but I clearly hadn’t developed any sort of physiological dependency (thank gently caress) and also the emotional load I was implicitly asking my family to carry wasn’t worth it.

Plus I’m officially starting my CAREER CHANGE education on Monday and I have no room for error here.

Yeah, I don’t fault anyone for finding their own ways to cope and it’s going to be a long road back to normal (for the people that took it seriously or bore the brunt of the essential worker tag). I’m glad you seem to be happy with your progress so far!

My kitchenaid is also having issues.

Finally got to catch up and watch Glass Onion tonight, and think I agree with what a lot of others said here about the first being better, but it was still very entertaining. I think that what worked so well in the first was the framing of Blanc as potentially an antagonist to Marta, before his character is reframed sometime in the middle of the movie. There’s a similar character change in this one but it isn’t as strong. It’s still pretty well done though and I think I would watch Craig read the phone book as Benoit Blanc at this point.
