I finally nutted up and went to an AA meeting yesterday.

It was interesting, but I'm not sure if it was for me. I'll try going to a couple more, but I think what I actually need is counselling.

Still, I'm glad I took the plunge.

Congratulations, scenester. If you can go to counseling, great. In the meantime, since you've crossed the initial hurdle, you might try going to a couple more meetings, just to try it on as a ritual.

edit: ritual de lo habitual  :nsfw

yeah I'll go again. I'm feeling motivated to stay sober after that meeting, so yeah. Something helped.

Is that before or after taking wind chill into account? If it's before I think I'd probably just skip school at that point.

It's been 40 and damp these past few days (and today it's 40 and sunny) over here, apart from flurries the day before Halloween, there hasn't been any snow, which is surprising.

Hamsters are cool, but it sucks how they don't live very long. Ours lasted about 3 years too, which I guess is pretty good since it survived another year or two after being chewed on by our dog once.

ME SO HAPPY

Counselor got my ap scores from last month and already ran them through with some of the available grants and loans. It means I'm fully qualified and prepared to move on to start up my undergrad and grad studies programs I've been holding off on for a few years.

I see the future and its looking hard and rough. But I see the light at the end of the tunnel. Gonna be 33 before I graduate proper but by then I might even have a damn masters!

Hey Biz, I'm thinking of buying a Colt LE6920 or LE6940.  I know it's not a real M4 (obviously) but do you know how close it is to the real M4?

Fourth day of Expert Infantry Badge training. I've been doing the same tasks over and over for the last three days for eight hours a day. It's kind of zen. I am basically an expert (hence the name?) at M4, M9, M320, AT-4, M249, M240, M2, Mk-19, and claymores now. I pick them up and run through clearing, functions check, loading, correcting malfunctions, and unloading without even thinking about it. Feels surprisingly good for something with no "real world" application.

Did you get an achievement for doing it?

@ Mupepe: I just Googled the first one and looked at a picture and mine looks a little different: shorter barrel, different front sight, different hand guards/rail system, and I assume that one doesn't have 3 round burst. That one actually looks cooler than my M4. (Except no ACOG :teehee)
:drool dat ACOG

I want the EO Tech 512 for mine.  Not because it is particularly better but because it tickles my "sweet looking rifle" bone just right

And yeah, no 3 round burst but Colt is now shipping them with certain M16 internals that makes conversions a helluva lot easier.  The 3 round burst is fully legal in Texas (assuming I pay out the ass and get a rifle pre 86) so I might end up doing that.  Good to know that it's not that different even if knowing that is only a dick measuring contest in my own head.

Edit: and I just learned that even though they put in certain loopholes to owning them they pretty much refuse everyone who didn't have it registered before 86.  Gayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy.  There goes that.  Oh well.

Free Swizz Beats.

Quote
McLEAN, Virginia (AP) — One of the world's largest file-sharing sites was shut down Thursday, and its founder and several company executives were charged with violating piracy laws, federal prosecutors said.

An indictment accuses Megaupload.com of costing copyright holders more than $500 million in lost revenue from pirated films and other content. The indictment was unsealed one day after websites including Wikipedia and Craigslist shut down in protest of two congressional proposals intended to thwart online piracy.

The Justice Department said in a statement said that Kim Dotcom, formerly known as Kim Schmitz, and three others were arrested Thursday in New Zealand at the request of U.S. officials. Two other defendants are at large.

Megaupload was unique not only because of its massive size and the volume of downloaded content, but also because it had high-profile support from celebrities, musicians and other content producers who are most often the victims of copyright infringement and piracy. Before the website was taken down, it contained endorsements from Kim Kardashian, Alicia Keys and Kanye West, among others.

The Hong Kong-based company listed Swizz Beatz, a musician who married Keys in 2010, as its CEO.

Before the site was taken down, it posted a statement saying allegations that it facilitated massive breaches of copyright laws were "grotesquely overblown."

"The fact is that the vast majority of Mega's Internet traffic is legitimate, and we are here to stay. If the content industry would like to take advantage of our popularity, we are happy to enter into a dialogue. We have some good ideas. Please get in touch," the statement said.

A lawyer who represented the company in a lawsuit last year declined comment Thursday.

Megaupload is considered a "cyberlocker," in which users can upload and transfer files that are too large to send by email. Such sites can have perfectly legitimate uses. But the Motion Picture Association of America, which has campaigned for a crackdown on piracy, estimated that the vast majority of content being shared on Megaupload was in violation of copyright laws.

The website allowed users to download films, TV shows, games, music and other content for free, but made money by charging subscriptions to people who wanted access to faster download speeds or extra content. The website also sold advertising.

The indictment was returned in the Eastern District of Virginia, which claimed jurisdiction in part because some of the alleged pirated materials were hosted on leased servers in Ashburn, Virginia.

Dotcom, a resident of both Hong Kong and New Zealand, and a dual citizen of Finland and Germany, made more than $42 million from the conspiracy in 2010 alone, according to the indictment.

Dotcom is founder, former CEO and current chief innovation officer of Megaupload.

I've been having headaches off-and-on for the last week; it's either neck-hernia related, or I'm coming down with a cold. First time in my life I've ever prayed for a cold.

Whenever I am seated for a long period of time, such as the flight from Japan to here, or during/after 2 hour drives in traffic, I am getting nasty headaches. Pretty sure it's the partially-reclined pose of driving/riding in conjunction with my hernia.  :-\

Thankfully, it doesn't happen if I'm in front of a computer, or there would be some problems with my career choice.

Woke up this morning and heard the distant scratching of shovels outside. Peeped out the window and snow was everywhere...but only about 2-3 inches. Shortly after taking a shower the sun was shining bright, and the snow was slowly melting. It's cold as fuck outside due to the wind, but this has been another weak snow.

Swap one addiction for another, oh yeah. Seriously though find some sort of productive hobby or other to pour your energy into. Speaking of which I need to do more of that myself, been a slack motherfucker pretty much the entire month. Closed today pretty much opening tomorrow and it's supposedly going to snowpocalypse over night here, should be fun times.

If you don't mind asking, when do you get your panic attacks? If you don't drink during the day (I have no idea how much you are drinking) or after 'coming down' from a night/nights of heavy drinking? Or are they not directly related to drinking?

I used to get panic attacks regularly a couple of years ago after weekends of lots of drinking. I don't get them anymore because I drink less (especially not bacl to back anymore) and I understood how my panic attacks worked.

well in this case my panic attacks arose simply due to extreme mental duress. It wasn't anything to do with alcohol not being in my system, it was to do with the fact that I was going to a BBQ on a beautiful summer's day, and I was terrified that I needed to drink beer out of habit. Basically thoughts of: can I drink, should I drink, can I not drink, can I handle it etc. etc. went around and around and around in my head until I flipped out, basically.

Well, I've been over a week now without a drink, and I've been in social situations where I would have normally been drinking, so I'm doing well I think. I'm going to a 21st birthday party tonight with a bar tab, this will be a real test. I CAN DO IT

compsci question just incase I'm looking at this really dumbly

I have a question which says

an edge span of an undirected graph G = (V,E) is a subset C of E such that V = union of {u,v} for all (u,v) in C.  Then the question is to find the min cardinality of C for a bipartite graph with no isolated vertices.

So my question is, C is exactly the minimum spanning forest (or tree if there is only 1 connected component) right?

It's just I feel like he want's us to solve this using max network flow algorithm when running Kruskal's algorithm would work and in better time.


edit:  I was being stupid.  They are not even close to the same thing.

What do you get out of drinking? In other words, what's the main culprit for your addiction? The taste? Or the feeling of drunkenness? Or is it something more psychological or emotional? I feel like if you're gonna get over the addiction you have to strike at the heart. We must pinpoint why you drink.

I know you can do it man.

well in this case my panic attacks arose simply due to extreme mental duress. It wasn't anything to do with alcohol not being in my system, it was to do with the fact that I was going to a BBQ on a beautiful summer's day, and I was terrified that I needed to drink beer out of habit. Basically thoughts of: can I drink, should I drink, can I not drink, can I handle it etc. etc. went around and around and around in my head until I flipped out, basically.

Well, I've been over a week now without a drink, and I've been in social situations where I would have normally been drinking, so I'm doing well I think. I'm going to a 21st birthday party tonight with a bar tab, this will be a real test. I CAN DO IT

I had/have problems going to social events without as well drinking, which was why I got wasted every weekend back then.

My panic attacks come together through a feedback loop of body signals (heart racing or irregular heartbeat) that inducing scared thoughts like "are these signs of a heart attack" which led to even more reactions of the body. Do you get any body reactions as well? Because understanding how my panic attacks worked helped me a lot to overcome them.

A year or so ago I incorporated a couple months of no drinking into my training program because I wanted the best results possible in a short amount of time. I remember this being very difficult for me because it effectively killed my social life. I would be invited out to the bars but I would only drink soda water. Eventually, I didn't want to go out anymore. It's a very tough transition. I wish you the best of luck.

Training lately really motivated me to drink less when I'm going out. It's just so frustrating to loose training effect or not reaching the results because you are to wasted due to drinking. Since I started going to the gym, I did not stop to drink when I go to parties but I reduced it often to a amount that allowed me to do some proper sport shortly afterwards. I actually was fed up for quite some time with being so tired after drinking, but only the training motivated me to do something about it.

scratch that, I just cracked and broke down :( this is one of the hardest things I have ever done

Ah damn. It's really tough. Like Himuro asked, why do you feel the need to drinking? Because you feel you are boring without alcohol or because you aren't interested in socializing without it? Most of the time the drinking is a symptom of some other problems (duh) and it's difficult to reduce the drinking without dealing with the underlying problems.

Why is the drinking such a problem? Because you do it so often/heavy? I don't want to condone drinking but maybe pressurizing yourself too much will actually make it worse.

Don't judge yourself too much because you couldn't stop yourself from drinking today, that won't help anybody.

I've got a two-hour late start tomorrow morning at work due to the aftermath of the snow and ice storm. The South King Co. valley got hit hard.
