I've been having dreams again! That's my favorite part about Sober October

If I don't drink or die, I'll have 18 years of sobriety on the 13th.  Not just Octobers.  One of the strangest phenomena of sobriety is the "using dream".  I don't have them as much as I used to, but on occasion, I'd have a dream where I'd get drunk or high.  This is almost inevitably followed by extreme anxiety about having ruined my life.  I also sometimes have dreams where I turn down drugs or alcohol, but these are fewer and far between.  An even weirder phenomena has happened when I've seriously undertaken the project of giving up sweets.  I start to have using dreams about chocolate, cookies, etc.

Anyway, I don't do drugs so that there is more of them for you.

I won't make it to tomorrow's Wetfish Town Hall, but I thought I'd give an update on what I've been up to.
1) Since Fishmeet Canada never happened, I am proposing that we delete the channel.
2) I've stalled out on my computational biology project, but I'm still in that head space.  In fact, I've fallen off on a lot of things during the summer, which seems to be a pattern for me, so I'll probably get back up and going here soon.
3) I've invited a few people to wetfish for job seeking.  Tech professionals, but good people none the less.
4) I went to Dream Force in San Francisco this last month (it's Salesforce's yearly conference to show people how they can use Salesforce in the coming year).  This year's focus was on (not surprisingly) AI.  Working in Government with a technology that is adjacent to Salesforce (MuleSoft, which is owned by Salesforce) that I use primarily to insert data, there wasn't a lot for me there, but I had some interesting experiences none the less.
5) I'm hoping to interest some wetfish in going to Neotropolis.  Here's my thread for it.

Not a hamburger dropdown in sight, just some headers living in the moment

“Centipedes don’t fuck” is one of my favorite animal facts. There are plenty of sexually reproducing animals that don’t fuck per se (like a lot of fish) but centipedes don’t even meet. Males just leave sperm packets lying on the fucking ground and females pick them up and take them home. They don’t even hang out.  centipede girls will see a puddle of cum on the ground and say 'does anyone want that' and not wait for an answer

Clothes have been getting consistently worse over the past 40 years. Also H&M uses muslim slave labor in china.

A window in direct sunlight absorbs approximately 1 kilowatt of energy onto the surfaces inside of the room. That's like running a space heater

Or you could just put an awning on the outside of your window to block the high summer sun?

You just know this is somebody's fetish.
