Will Trump win the elections again? What if he's sentenced to prison?

Everyone keeps talking about the fact that he may pardon himself. That is very likely true but let's not forget the fact that anyone else who is elected can pardon him without raising the same constitutional crisis. He could also be elected, resign and be pardoned by his former VP (I find it doubtful he would go this route). None of these will affect charges on the state level, however.

Its been one day without Reddit

Honestly, it reminds me a bit of reddit pre-digg migration. I'm kind of enjoying it. Right now, I'm using connect for my mobile access. I also don't hate the separation that the federated servers are falling into. It seems like moderation might be a bit of a PITA but I don't have any experience to back that up.

I've been failing

One of the best tool I got from therapy was learning HALT. Hungry Angry Lonely Tired. These are all triggers and being in one or more of these states is often at the root of wanting to drink. For me, StopDrinking was a good way to head off the Lonely part of that lovely barber shop quartet. Just having the knowledge that HALT is a thing and stopping for a little introspection to see if I was under any of those states went a long way to helping me in the first year of my sobriety.

Hope this helps. You can do this. IWNDWYT.

Linux Distro

Let me offer a different direction. FreeBSD has been around since the mid 90's. Is damn featureful. Has a wonderful package management system. Full disclosure, I use Linux on my personal machines but FreeBSD is my server install of choice.
