Reply to comment by skeeve87 in ELI5: Why do imaginary numbers even need to exist? by Tharsis101
It’s been awhile for me, not a control engineer but did my studies in mechanical engineering. So can’t speak for what you use in your day to day, but from what I remember controls (the math behind it) is tied with laplus transformation and the whole 1/t. Basically from those classes for feedback controls the zeros in laplus will say how it behaves in real life. And one way to avoid real zeros is forcing imaginary ones.

Mine is always too low or my salt or iron is.

Will a salt tab replenish it?

Believe what you like . . . I've done taste tests with Prince Igor and Grey Goose, and people would consistently pick Igor as often as Goose.
​
The average person just doesn't have a developed enough palate to be that discerning. Hell, I only took it seriously for about 7 years, and I know I would still slip up. There are a couple of my "regular" brands that I can pick out, but that's it. If you poured two shots of random brands, 1 premium, 1 well stock, I would not be surprised to guess wrong between them.

Wait, you want us to drink water? Like from the terlet?

Yes! I knew there were other foods and drinks that did it, but couldn't remember which offhand.
I kept thinking to myself, "...Bourbon Barrel-aged Chocolate, maybe...?"

Imaginary numbers get like that. Since well most there uses are in higher maths.

Coffee, tea leaves, tobacco leaves, beer . . . other spirits.

This happened to me on a random day in highschool. I didn’t know what the hell was going on so I’m drinking Gatorade thinking it’s going to help but of course that was only exacerbating things. Mom knew right away what was up and sure enough I went and checked on grandmas meter and I was at 550. The meter maxes out at 550 so I don’t really know exactly how high it was.

>I assume there's also a difference between their 100% de agave offerings and the 51% or whatever ones.
There's a difference, but 1800 (their 100% product) isn't great, either.

MYTHBUSTERS did this to test the theory - they claimed it was "Busted" because filtration doesn't make bottom-shelf vodka taste as good as top-shelf, but filtering it five times through a Brita/Pur type filter does make it taste better to both a vodka "expert" and to Jamie Hyneman. (Kari Byron picked the unfiltered bottom-shelf "control" as second-best and top-shelf as worst, to everyone's amusement!)
Sorry for the crappy copy, but since Discovery Channel now owns WB they're charging for copies of MYTHBUSTERS....

….if you’re correctly hydrating you won’t be dehydrated. So of course you won’t experience symptoms of mild dehydration!

This doesn't, you either have a serious problem or should consider drinking water more regularly.

And once the bourbon barrels can no longer be used for alcohol, they can age coffee in it!
I'm serious - Starbucks Reserve sells a coffee with beans aged in a bourbon barrel. It's actually really good...unfortunately it's also insanely expensive (I bought a half-pound for $45 as a treat!).

This is also why you are highly advised to have water or a light drink with meals. You need a lot of water to digest food, and lack of water is a leading cause of mild indigestion aka not feeling well after eating.
Also soup. Almost all people through history ate some form of soup for most of their meals. Not only does soup have lots of water, it has all the nutrients "lost" to other cooking methods. It's why broth is so often good for you. So soup up and be sure to drink the broth.

Pretty sure your body is trying to tell you you're thirsty, you seem to be missing the signs.

I know this is stupid but i just imagined my body absorbing and re-using his poop-infused water and was immidiatly disgusted.

Mezcal actually has stricter guidelines than tequila, also must be made in certain Mexican regions.

Add to that, your government allows meat that no country in Europe is allowing. Your meat can be produced a hell of a lot cheaper. :-)
