  1. Welp, I may have very well swaddled my last swaddle. Hanging up the hospital blanket. The little fucker has been angry crying in his snoo at night, including a really brutal Saturday night/Sunday morning. We finished putting the touches on his room - actually the end of a huge project since it was the wife's office, and she just started a new job so we ended up enclosing our dining room to make her a new office/peloton room. Got it all ready for him, I shed a single tear as I zipped him into a napsack, and that fucker was out all night. I honestly found it difficult to go to sleep in my own room without the noise machine droning in the background. he's also been really slow to roll over. he can totally do it, he just doesn't care. he finally eventually rolled over last night, first time i've seen him do it.
  2. I'll say a couple of things about the god thing - first off, I'm not trying to recruit people for AA and I honestly haven't gone to a meeting in a million years - I don't like the one near me (too churchy) and I have young children and there's nothing else convenient and I'd like to go but it's not a problem for me to not. The reasons why (or at least my interpretation of the reasons why) The way that the whole god thing and higher power thing works for me is that i am not the highest power in the universe i do not run the universe even my own life rests in whatever fate the universe has in store for me, and this is OK Something I've seen in criticism of AA is that in order to do AA you have to be super negative about yourself. I don't think that's the case at all, and none of the things I said above are negative, are reflective of low self esteem, are me being down about myself. Honestly if you disagree with any of the above statements except for maybe 3.1 you're an egomaniac. Most alcoholics are to some extent, and most alcoholics have a very difficult time letting things go, relaxing about things in general, and this is part of what drives us to drink. Internalizing that i do not run this shit, that for the vast majority of things that irk or worry me I should just move past them because it's not my problem or I don't have power over it - that was huge. And accepting that I really have a limited range of power over my own life and that that, too, is OK (we all live we all die, we do what we can while we're here and we wind up leaving the same way) - that's freedom. It's also not super negative to admit powerlessness over alcohol. If you're sitting in the room refusing to admit that, your ego is still trying to run shit. It's not rational. If you had any power over alcohol you'd have exercised it by now.
  3. That that’s an ‘86. One thing from the era that I know people like are Tim Shaw pickups. I don’t really know a ton about them other than that mine (as an 86 “pre” historic) likely has them and I like mine. I think that the customs had them as well. I think there's an article out there detailing them but this post from a thread that i can't seem to link to from mylespaul.com (found via google search just now) looks suspiciously clipped from some kind of source - Anyways, broadly the 80s are not a bright spot in Gibson history, but they made some cool guitars. People like the Shaw pickups, they don't like the short neck tenons, not sure what the particulars of your custom would be. That's a badass looking guitar. 80s feels like a good decade for a custom.
  4. Missed opportunity to use “Forged of a Fucked Up Fire”.
  5. Someone AI a Bevo into this
  6. if i think back on my life there are a lot of moments where I'm able to appreciate how much of a dumbass I was (and how much of a dumbass I must still be). One of those moments was shortly after getting my first management position I found myself in a meeting with some dipshit explaining to me how they were going to help us do I can't remember what cloud thing. It just didn't really occur to me that this meeting invite that landed in my inbox was a sales pitch, and I cringe remembering the look on a coworkers face when I asked her who the fuck these people were. Yeah ignore. And yeah this 95% of what lands in my linkedin inbox.
  7. I know I did this recently but sharing one more post from my buddy’s shop. I need to go by there the next time I’m in Austin, it looks like they’re are doing a great job of stocking cool shit. Looking at the tele deluxe.

    y'all got reccos for framing vinyl? Honestly not even important that i be able to get it out, kinda just want to frame my old band's discography, which is... 2 records and probably 4 CDs.
  9. https://www.besthugecocks.com/watch/1164666/emma-butt-pegging-her-male-slave Turkish drone identifies heat source in mountainous region of Iran's East Azerbaijan province From CNN's Artemis Moshtaghian and Yong Xiong A Turkish drone helping to search for the location where a helicopter carrying Iranian President Ebrahim Raisi crashed has identified a heat source in the mountains of the country's East Azerbaijan province, according to Iranian state media and Turkish news agency Anadolu. The condition of those on board the helicopter is still unknown. A burning spot has been detected and rescue forces are being sent to that area known as Tavil, the country's semi-official FARS news agency reported. The Turkish drone identified the heat source and shares its coordinates with Iranian authorities, Anadolu reported.

  16. Steal some of those hospital blankets. Still my favorites. And again I have this swaddle wisdom for you. Pediatricians, babysitters, mothers, wives - they have all remarked upon the greatness of my swaddle technique. No baby has broken free from my kung fu blanket grip.
