Hi! M Late 40's recently divorced. A covid hyperfixation led me to 500 days sober but I've been off the wagon about 4 years. This time I'm 2 weeks and in a good place but 2 Phish shows this weekend should be interesting, lol. IMO quitting drinking you need a reason, and that reason can't be "I need to quit". I forget my reason 5 years ago but this time it's -

• I need to lower my blood pressure
• Meditation is the most consequential thing I've done in my life to relate better to reality, and unfortunately you can't meditate after a drink.
• I'm missing out/not acting on some obvious life potential stuff in my new situation
• Proactivity with the very late teen kids I need to get back on

Kid's going to college, not in a technical field. Likes to game. Spent her whole life on Nintendo platforms so doesn't need anything top of the line to be impressed lol. What are the basic/average specs for a good gaming-capable college freshman laptop? Or better yet an someone just google me one? Help a brother out?

Budget: $600-1000?
Country: us
Use Case: Gaming / School

Show me what you got!

I've got lawns I'll trade + cash

Obvs I'm more of a Phish fan in saying that...but I'm wondering are there any good (ostensibly independent, like JEMP) good streaming stations for the Dead that also - like JEMP - are committed to a very wide range of other good music?

I was lucky to stumble into getting a lifetime membership to Sirius when that was a thing long ago, so I have GD radio but just like Phish radio, it's not all that good. Like no one needs to hear the studio version of Playin' in the band, right?

Anywho, for tax, I'll add that while while you won't hear either of my favorite bands on it, the best streaming station/app on the planet is FIP (French Internet Polyphonique). You're welcome.

I"ve used COT for years I just never tried to do this and I don't see a messaging option.

So mid 40s and quit for 1.5 years and started again for 2 years and I’ve been egging on the universe for a wake up call about taking a break again and holy shi* did she call my bluff so here we are 5 days in I can’t shake the headaches and I forget what I had to do last time to get rid of them. Any advice?

IMO it's the latter, but wanted to make sure I'm not totally wrong. Me being wrong has happened before if you can believe it.

We use our boards a lot where we live and usually leave them inflated all the time. I don't feel like deflating/reinflating for a short overnight to the coast, but I will if anyone has evidence of it being bad for the boards. Thoughts? I'll be on the interstate for 2-3 hours.

TOtal noob looking for some additional income to my full time job (remote PM for a big IT equipment manufacturer) and my area is growing like crazy. Give me the very basics of what I need to do to become a realtor? I'm in WV but minutes to VA and MD and an hour to DC and PA. A brief google search says I need 90 hours of training. What's the rundown on the best online training tools for passing the real estate exam?

How long does it take people to usually ease into using these? I've got a ResMed AirFit N20 and it fits fine, it's just I haven't slept through the night at all. wtf man is the goal to make me go crazy?

I have family in Philly and live way closer to DC but we are out of town that next week. This is some young English pop band that is mega-popular in the minecraft world because one of the dudes is a popular streamer. I'm looking for any advice someone can give to try and find a couple tickets for this show that aren't $350 for a $30 face ticket. I've hassled for tickets to enough Phish shows over the years to know it's a tough life sometimes, but I thought I would reach out to the Philadelphia hivemind first and see if anyone had any leads.
