Hydration is good. If you hydrate a LOT, remember to have some electrolytes in there somewhere. You don’t need a lot, but some.

Also, the “eight glasses of water per day” thing was made up whole cloth. It is not medically nor scientifically a thing. The best advise is: Drink when you are thirsty. Unless there’s something wrong, that’s your body’s way of telling you it needs hydration.

That said, if you exercise or get your body’s signals confused, thirst might not work perfectly for you. Generally, if you’re exercising, bored, hungry - having a glass of water might be just the thing and usually doesn’t hurt anything, so give it a go.

'75 here. All you youngsters can get the hell off my lawn.

Actually, what I’ve noticed is that I don’t so much feel older as I do the “kids” keep getting younger. Was I like that at their age? Yep, probably, but I felt mature and adult then. To some degree. That thing about how you never really feel like an adult? I still get that a little bit. But after three decades of being an adult, it has also set in a bit.

Mostly, I’m opinionated, and I remember things from the past 40 years because I was alive for them, so they aren’t history to me, they are a part of the life I experienced.

So as you guys get older, I think you’ll find that - like whatever happens after Trump, unless it does continue to get worse (which is quite possible), there will come a time when a younger generation won’t know what it felt like to live under this fascism, and you, having lived through it, will have your mind blown because it’s history to them.

Which I guess has helped me when I think about figures from history and the past in general. While I can’t imagine living before the era of cars, I do know that whatever time frame you look at - to the people living at that time, it was all contemporary and modern. And so when you see people that had relationships with other people and arguments and such, you really do realize that we’re all human.

Also, the older I get, the more I realize just how precious life is. And when you’re young, you really are going to live forever. But every single day that passes is gone forever. Every month takes you further forward. Each year goes by and never comes back. When your 20s are gone, they won’t ever return. Don’t let that upset you, just make sure you aren’t coasting along and wasting time, waiting for what comes next, because if you spend you life waiting for what comes next, you die without anything ever coming next. Don’t “make every moment count” - do take time to relax. Just make sure that you are not ONLY relaxing, and don’t put everything off to the future. Do what you can to enjoy the life you have as best as you can while also trying to keep improving things.

My understanding is that it always tries to give you 2-3 route options. It defaults to what it thinks is the shortest, but it gives you a couple of options that are slightly longer. You might prefer those other options for various reasons.

But if there aren’t a whole lot of altenate options, the 2-3 options for slightly longer routes might include “ridiculous” things like this. It doesn’t know. It wouldn’t know why you wouldn’t always want the shortest route, but of course as humans, we have preferences and knowlege Maps doesn’t have.

Clever and hilarious. Almost reminds me of old IRC shenanigans. :)

Why do people reply to obvious jokes that have emoticons indicating that they are jokes with serious answers?

Did you even catch the typo I was poking fun at?

I’m starting to think people on Lemmy can’t read. I’m not attacking you, I’m just frustrated that this is not the first time I’ve made a very silly post that is obviously very silly and it has whooshed.

It really is painful to read this kind of arrogant ignorance

You really should check a mirror, bub.

But it’s okay, continue on and wallow in your own willful ignorance.

Or feel ABSOLUTELY free to try and actually answer what I said.

I’m not surprised you picked up on my lack of caring to find out the organizing body. It doesn’t invalidate the truth of anything I said. But you ignore the truth and pick what you think is a GOTCHA.

It’s not a flex, kiddo. It just reinforces how stupid you make yourself look.

Ignorant fuck.

It seems you suffer from some misconceptions while being aware of some moderately obscure truth.

First of all, good on yer that you know that IQ is normalized to 100. The problem is that this is true for some particular group of people. I’m not sure offhand what body does this normalization and what population they use, but thankfully, that knowledge doesn’t matter.

Any particular group of people will probably not have an average IQ of 100. Only the full body of people it’s normalized to will.

So if they normalize IQ to all USians, the average IQ in other countries will naturally be somewhat close to 100 (probably), but not precisely 100. So move people elsewhere and the average IQ of the destination country will change by some probably-relatively-small amount.

Or, if the entire world is normalized to 100, then the average IQ in NO countries is precisely 100, and moving people around will still change the average.

So I’m afraid you need to back up your clapbacks and take another think through on this, friend.

this county sucks.

You should broaden your horizons. :)

I’m pretty sure racists would rape minority children. Look at plantations back in the day for evidence of that.

Thinking about the original ads this is parodying… it’s wild to think that they had to explain the idea of chocolate and peanut butter together. I think we take that for granted these days. heh.

a trial of kids

Wow, maybe they shoulda been better parents

;-)

I respect all food that’s good. I wish everyone else did.

Food transcends borders, evolves, changes, gets better. Embrace it and love it.

Love Italian food with its tomatoes? Tomatoes are surprisingly recent in Italy.

A whole lot of foods we enjoy just evolved from different cultures meeting and getting better.

Worth checking out, though, thank you1 <3

What a waste of time you are.

Any ground celebrating fascists is not good ground anyway

I know this is completely off topic, but one of the better Things I Won’t Work With entries about chlorine triflouride:

It is, of course, extremely toxic, but that’s the least of the problem. It is hypergolic with every known fuel, and so rapidly hypergolic that no ignition delay has ever been measured. It is also hypergolic with such things as cloth, wood, and test engineers, not to mention asbestos, sand, and water-with which it reacts explosively. It can be kept in some of the ordinary structural metals-steel, copper, aluminium, etc.-because of the formation of a thin film of insoluble metal fluoride which protects the bulk of the metal, just as the invisible coat of oxide on aluminium keeps it from burning up in the atmosphere. If, however, this coat is melted or scrubbed off, and has no chance to reform, the operator is confronted with the problem of coping with a metal-fluorine fire. For dealing with this situation, I have always recommended a good pair of running shoes.

You can find all of the blogs here and I highly recommend them.

I’ve tried to set various of these apps up in the past - I used to do tech support; I am a geek - and for whatever reason, I could never get all the parts working right. I assume many people can since they’re popular, but it just never clicked for me.

But I have a pretty good workflow - a seedbox running rutorrent which allows me to send magnet links to it just clicking them in Firefox, with emby installed so I can stream from the box - or easily connect via FTP to download when I prefer.

That’s the nice thing - there’s a number of ways to accomplish the goal, so finding the one that works well for you is what’s important.

That said, I don’t remember which ones these are, but I think it began with “Sonarr” to download music and the various somewhat-similarly named projects are about finding and downloading various forms of media automatically based on rules or searches or keywords or whatever. Which is nicer than my system of reminders that stuff should drop and I should go look for a torrent for it. :)

Try google, because their sources are better than yours.

You’re right, and when you’re right, you’re dingo dog right, my friend.

Notably, “literally” added its figurative meaning literally^[1] centuries ago.
