I’m struggling to get to the point of only needing pot fyi feel good. I’m so used to adding in alcohol I feel incomplete without it. I haven’t really slipped back into my old ways as I only drink a little bit (like 3 beers) a few times a week, whereas before it took 3 shots of hard liquor to get me out of bed I’m the morning, and I didn’t slow down all day. Anyway I love pot and I know it’s a whole fuckton easier on my body, perhaps even helping heal some of the damage my years of extreme alcohol abuse may have done (although I appear to have gotten lucky)… I still struggle with feeling incomplete with only having pot as I’m used to having both.

This is one of my said without any. I don’t physically crave it but I feel somehow incomplete.

I found a wife that way too but she cost 450.

Heh, if you’re making the joke that I won’t be able to attract a woman with this setup it’s actually very classy looking. All the wires are hidden in the walls and I control it all easily with a remote.

If you weren’t making that joke and were just being generally snarky, then… well… what kind of warranty did she come with?

It is awesome and I got everything for about 500 bucks which was a steal. Normally projectors that do full 1080p are upwards of 500 by themselves but I found a generic Chinese knockoff for about 350 and while it does seem to have some quirks about it they are small and highly worth dealing with for how sweet it is and how much I saved. The quirks are all software bugs that don’t affect picture quality in the slightest.

Got my projector and surround sound set up. It looks and sounds fantastic. The screen is about 125 inches. I ordered a 150 inch but I underestimated how big that actually was and it was bigger than my wall. Even the 125 inches is massive. Looks crisp and clear too. Can’t wait to watch star wars on it. In the process of cobbling together my own personal semispecialized version to watch. (Using the sources of telecine7s epiv (which is the blu ray with rerotoscoped savers and blaster shots) and just splicing in color matched and upscaled footage of the latest specialized to match the surrounding footage to fix ask the mos eisley bs on the blu ray.)

I would just watch the despecialized version but I think on a screen this suss the difference between 720 and 1080p will be noticeable.

It better be because to get here required a $4000 (and that’s AFTER insurance) week stay in detox in a hospital so unprofessional they three times tried to give me somebody else’s medicine and now my job is at risk because they apparently don’t know how to use a fax machine to send over my medical papers so until they figure out how to use said fax machine (to do the thing they assured me that they had already done when I was released I might add) I can’t miss a single second of work for the next six months for ANY reason or I’m fired. (Our attendance policy is solely enforced by a computer that has no understanding of the situation or quality of employee our even their position and their employment is also automatically terminated and there’s nothing a human being with a brain can do to stop it)

Shouldn’t be too hard as I never miss work but according to the computer I just randomly didn’t show up for about a week. So if I happen to get sick guess I’m wearing a mask and I’m literally plugging my phone (which I’m using as my alarm clock) into my surround system and sleeping in the living room until this gets sorted.

You can’t share with me either. Possessed haz drinking problem. I’ve been sober about 40 days now though.

Not in a row or anything, just in general.

All jokes aside though, serious update to everybody whose been curious about my battle with severe alcoholism. I haven’t relapsed into the lifestyle of drinking a fifth of book vodka every day like I was. I have one or two beers at night one or two times a week but no more often or more drinks than that. In short, I’ve converted to using alcohol responsibly. Maybe one day I’ll give it up completely, but at least I’ve cut back to where I don’t physically need to drink every 4 hours like I used to. Or at all. Just one or two beers one or two nights a week. If I give it up it’ll be either on principle or because I feel old habits creeping back up.
