Phone posted:New Belgium. Not great beer but they have some good offerings and, what makes them better than rogue, they are not only super into solar and wind power, but their beer prices aren't sky high. I'll pick up a 6/12 of Ranger IPA if they don't have anything more exotic or better, like Grapefruit Sculpin or Chasing Freshies.

El Jebus posted:Grapefruit Sculpin Grapefruit Sculpin Grapefruit Sculpin Grapefruit Sculpin Grapefruit Sculpin Grapefruit Sculpin, a million times over. This finally showed up in most crafty liquor stores in my area this summer and I can't get enough of it. It's way too spendy, but worth every penny. I'm not a huge fan of the regular Sculpin but the Grapefruit is delectable and goes down just a bit too smooth, I can easily get through a 6-pack in a night if I'm not careful. e: Some of the Stone selections aren't too bad, their Delicious IPA and 'Enjoy By' releases are pretty good. We're also the land of a few good local brews, like Surly (generally overrated, their small batch stuff can be great) and Lift Bridge, however the Grapefruit Sculpin still gets me every time. Throw in a Bell's Two Hearted every now and then for variety. Cellular Suicide fucked around with this message at 03:26 on Oct 10, 2015 |

I pretty much don't drink beer made out of state. I think there are 58-60 breweries in Montana now. Currently drinking cold smoke scotch ale from the kettlehouse, earlier I had a scape goat pale ale from big sky and a single hop pale from bitterroot brewing, which is one of my current favorites. jamal fucked around with this message at 03:57 on Oct 10, 2015 |

Tusen Takk posted:Like when I buy New Amsterdam Gin it's $22.99 for a 1.5L or $23.99 for a fifth of Bombay Sapphire at Meijer so that's kind of reasonable for liquor You can't even buy liquor in a grocery store here. For that matter, stores that sell liquor can't operate at all on Sundays. No staff allowed on premises. Distributors also can't make liquor deliveries on Sundays, even to bars and restaurants. For beer/wine, you can't sell after midnight (2am in bars), or 1am on Saturdays. When I worked in a grocery store, I volunteered to help the beer/wine department do a major reset. The distributors were there, and reminded us of the laws that stated we were not allowed to work in any section of the store selling alcohol after 2am. So everyone clocked out at 2am, and clocked back in at 2:01am.  (we actually left around 7am I think, including the distributors)Preoptopus posted:trip report : 6 days sober from booze. The shakes have begun but feeling good eating good trying to stay positive and hydrated. I'm coming (back) up on 2 weeks. I graduate from my IOP program when I hit 30 days sober and 4 more meetings (tentatively that'll be Oct 20th, as long as I don't miss any meetings), then I'll be in their aftercare program (free) for a year - which is basically "show up once a week for group, show up more if you want". One of the guys who could do no wrong in the group relapsed recently  - he'd been doing heroin for nearly 30 years, had almost a year clean, and had recently graduated to aftercare. He showed up and admitted to it though, and got nothing but support for owning up to it. Lots of positive people there, I honestly enjoy going to the meetings. Yeah, some people are court ordered, but the majority of them wind up liking the place.If the shakes get really bad, especially coupled with racing heartbeat and/or hallucinations, hit up the ER immediately. DT's aren't anything to gently caress with. scuz posted:The computer that I built for my step-mom used a bargain basement AMD chip back with a 200GB Seagate only just got replaced because she got a grant to do music production. I built the computer in 2002 and it was running XP. Nothing died ever. For mom's last PC, we decided it would be cheaper to buy a CompUSA store brand system (Systemax). It was a 64 bit dual core Celeron of some sort with 4GB of RAM and a 320GB HDD, and it came with a Windows 7 OEM license. PC was right around $300. At the time, I don't think I could have built an identical system for that price, including a legal OS. I was attracted to it because it was built from off the shelf hardware, so if something died, I could swap out parts. Cue a nasty storm later, and I'm throwing parts at it trying to get it to stop BSODing. Even after new RAM and a PSU it couldn't pass memtest, so I shotgunned everything. Turned out it had a MSI motherboard, so I made sure to get another MSI motherboard, since I assumed the OEM key was tied to the motherboard brand (I was probably wrong on that one, they probably just used one of the OEM copies they sold with hardware). Typed in the key printed on the case, and it activated with an OEM product ID, so I guess that idea worked. v v It's now an i3 Sandy Bridge with 4GB of RAM, still in the Systemax case.Whenever I upgrade my PC again, she's getting my current CPU and motherboard (i5-2500k on a nice Gigabyte Z68 board), and her old stuff gets tossed into a small case and turned into some kind of server that'll get tossed in a closet. Probably a media server for the house. Lightbulb Out posted:I work for a rugged computer manufacturer and we almost have no warranty replacements with WD drives, unless they're the blue series drives. The Seagate 10k SAS drives have a really high failure rate, however. Any idea why on the WD Blues? I have one of those in one of the HTPCs.

blk posted:Are you working with a doctor on this or quitting cold turkey? There are medications that can help. Agreed. If a doctor feels comfortable doing this on an outpatient basis, Librium is usually the drug of choice, but it'll be a bit difficult to function for a couple of days (you'd mostly sleep). For inpatient, it's usually a combination of Ativan and Librium. Just based on my own experiences, since he's made it 6 days, there's likely no need for an inpatient detox. I'd think a low dose of Librium for a couple of weeks (tapering the dose down as you go) would eliminate the worst of the shakes. Really, any benzo would work, but Librium has an extremely long half life, and doesn't have the mind gently caress that Xanax or Ativan bring along. It's also very easy to taper off of. But he'd need to find a doctor comfortable with prescribing Librium. Sometimes beta blockers get prescribed to handle longer lasting tremors; I'm on one for my blood pressure, but it also has the added benefit of completely eliminating shakes for me. Naltrexone will help greatly with cravings, and a primary care doctor will usually be comfortable with prescribing it if asked, but it makes you feel like rear end for the first few days (I'd take it just before bed for the first week). It's offered in pill form, long-acting (30 day) injectable, and an implant. You don't want to know what the injectable (which I've had) or implant (I have not had that) costs, but the pills are available in generic form and usually covered to an extent by insurance. PAWS (post acute withdrawal symptom, aka OH gently caress I NEED A DRINK RIGHT NOW) hits really hard around 30 days, so it's good to have on hand. * I am in no way a doctor, I've just been through this poo poo too many times. Preoptopus posted:im cold turky pretty much, probably doing it all wrong but i should probably see a doctor. i will if stuff starts getting weird. so far im managing with some self medications If you have a blood pressure reader of some kind, use it. Alcohol w/d can cause your BP to skyrocket - I've seen mine as high as 230/180 with a pulse north of 150 before, though I was in full blown DT's. Not trying to make you paranoid, but blood pressure isn't anything to gently caress around with. Definitely consult your doctor, but since you've made it 6 days, I don't think they'll want to do much beyond blood work (to check liver function) and suggest vitamins. They may give you a mild benzo to help with the shakes, or beta blockers (which help with shakes a bit more, anxiety a little bit less, but aren't intoxicating like benzos). randomidiot fucked around with this message at 05:58 on Oct 10, 2015 |
