    1080p same as last year

    On a serious note I want to quit smoking but the reason I smoke is stress from the job so not sure how to approach that. Thinking of just going cold turkey since I am not a chain smoker and only smoke 3-5 cigarettes a day so the withdrawals should be manageable.

      Quitting (anything) has a lot to do with you as a person. Some people can just do it cold turkey - they just have to try, others it’s a battle, but it is always better to start the journey, you’re worth it.

      Alan Carr- the easy way to quit smoking. It actually helps but you have to want to quit and really, actually follow the instructions. It works though.

      I feel you. There’s only one antidote: time.

      • It’s good to make a disclaimer to anyone around you at work, family, etc. You will be more nervous and you cold act like an ass sometimes. You can bet on it.
      • Don’t take important decisions in the next month.
      • You will gain weight. Less smoke brings more food cravings. Try to compensate with walking.
      • Find something to fill your mouth. I used Liquorice root (helps me also with low blood pressure so it was a no brainer for me).
      • Keep on keeping on (cit.). You’ll have now and then desire, not need, desire to come back smoking. Compensate that with the thought of being free. Good Luck mate.

      I quit smoking 3 packs a week in favor of vaping a few years ago, and the only reason I quit vaping is because of wisdom tooth surgery. I didn’t really want to, despite knowing I should, as I reasoned with myself that the vape isn’t that harmful. I quit a month ahead of my surgery because I knew stopping nicotine and weed at same time I’d be a grouch and I’m glad I did! Still miss it sometimes and I’ll occasionally smoke hookah or a blunt, but nice not to be feining for a hit of nicotine when I don’t have access.

    I want to make at least one full meal per month using only ingredients that I have either grown myself or foraged. Hopefully many more, but at least one.

      This is a great one. I worked with a guy who worked all year gathering, gardening, hunting, and putting things up so that he could try to go the whole month of January on only that for him and his family. He never quite made it, but it was very impressive anyway.

        That is the dream! Unfortunately this is definitely out of my reach at the moment, living in an apartment in a large city. Even carrots are wrapped in plastic in my local supermarket… As soon as I am able to I want to move somewhere more rural.

      I like this one. Not for me, at least this year. But I like it…it’s challenging and socially conscious.

    Wait 2 weeks before start going back to the gym, so that all the people with “year resolutions” get bored and make room for me.

      I’ve worked in a gym…I can assure you that your reasoning is sound…if you delay the resolution two weeks, you will definitely get plenty of space at the gym …just make sure to start before summer months, when people start their gym goals again.

    Try to not procrastinate as much as I do. Learn Rust, improve in marcial arts (I really suck tbh) and practice more sport meanwhile.

    Also not sleeping in class will be a nice thing to accomplish…

      If you can follow directions and only follow from arch wiki…it’s actually much easier than everyone says and pacman is wonderful and super fast…even large updates take mere minutes.

      Also, insofar as things “breaking” after updates that’s mostly hyperbole, especially for a casual user.

      A real challenge (skill and patience) would be Gentoo! But again, with following directions it’s doable
