And when it’s sunny on the snow it’s about 4-5 C warmer.

Sorry to hear about your current condition. I have recently stopped drinking coffee, and cut down on the beer, so I’ve been conscious to replace that fluid.

As gout symptoms are very diet related, if I was in your position I would do some sort of fast or juice cleanse for a week or two. Not only does it reset your body, but it also resets your taste buds, making it easier to maintain a healthful diet.

Keep in mind you can also get a lot of water from foods. Not just salad but smoothies or yogurt bowl or steamed vegetables.

I don’t like drinking water because the fact is you don’t need that much of it. When I was hiking the Pacific Crest Trail, walking 12 hours per day, I drank at most 3 liters, plus a pint for breakfast and a pint for dinner. So that’s 1 gallon total for extreme physical activity. In such a day I would pee maybe 3 or 4 times.

In normal life in an arid climate my water needs are about 1-1.5 liters. But this can entirely be covered by coffee or tea, a fizzy water, and maybe a beer or bedtime tea.

The only reason for the hydration obsession is excessive salt intake. Because salt and water are always a balancing act, excessive hydration will likely lead to salty snack cravings. If it didn’t we’d have a lot more cases of hyponatremia. The only serious side effect of being in the yellow pee club is kidney stones, but those are better prevented by lemon water and avoidance of spinach than excess hydration. I have no complaints of constipation or dry skin.

Drink when you’re thirsty. Eat when you’re hungry. Rest when you’re tired.

What about the Costco credit card? Not only does it have a photo but it requires an official credit check.

The article mentioned Danish language children’s programs specifically. In some countries children’s shows are partially funded by the government, which if that’s the case it’s an insult to the monarchy as well.

As a former 8 year old Cub Scout, bows are incredibly hard to use. I was an excellent marksman with a rifle.

Not really inhale-exhale, since they don’t have lungs. Kinda like when you sweat and you can feel the breeze cooling you under your arms. But instead of under your arms it would be on your neck, and instead of cooling you’d be respirating. But yes as the water moves past the gills, the blood is receiving oxygen and expelling CO2.

Yeah, I’m here for a reason. It takes a lot of blocking/filtering too. But the reason I am here is my desire for “algorithmic complacency”. I like to spend some time mentally wandering.

I’m so glad this was algorithmically recommended. Thanks lemmings!

Yeah my microwave operates on a timer, not a clock

I’m all for shitting on Elon, but it seems premature to declare the issue “officially” settled. Who’s the official anyway? This smells to me like enshittification of the internet, of journalism, and maybe even rational thought.

5 deaths from presumably 3 vehicles ablaze. The one which killed 3 of the people (60% for those who love statistics), the main battery pack did not catch fire. So, was it smoking, or something else?

Sure you can use statistics to say it has a higher fire rate than the Pinto. But without knowing the root cause of each fire, it cannot be deduced whether we should expect the rate to continue. I would suspect it should end up similar to other Teslas, unless a specific design flaw is identified. Another thing to keep in mind is that Tesla changes production on the fly, so if there is a design flaw, it may not persist into the next units.

Finally, the Cybertruck is stupid and I hope it fails. But that’s just like, my opinion.

This sounds about right to me. I was awake for 7 days without sleep, and it took about 7-9 nights of >9 hours of sleep to feel normal again.

MIT OpenCourseWare might be close enough to what you’re looking for.

The only person stealing is the one who circumvents the DRM and shares it. It’s not stealing to see or hear something.

The rich don’t care about money, they care about capital. They want to own every house, automobile, factory, and natural resources. Money is a very temporary store of value so more assets can be purchased.

Once you put something out into the world, it’s no longer yours really.

I have a better idea. Define piracy as profiting off of the creative work of another without compensation. Piracy for personal use is theft only in the amount it was offered for sale. For torrenting it could be argued you have stolen 1 copy plus your seed ratio. However, lots of content isn’t even available for legal purchase, only subscription for viewing. Owning a copy of this content is not piracy because it did not interfere with the sale of the item (since it’s not offered for sale). Therefore, an act of media preservation is theft by this definition, but the amount or value of that theft is $0, because it’s not currently offered for sale.

I did not. Foolishly I got rid of my balance board after some years of no use.
