It's very debunked. It's just one of those rare not-backed-by-the-evidence health fads popular on the left, so it gets traded around in different circles than the usual stuff.

That is not what being thirsty means. When you are thirsty you are down by a zillionth of a percent of what you'd need to be before you'd be close to dehydrated.

You are almost NEVER dehydrated. It's a myth. You don't need to drink nearly as much water as the current fads make it seem. You certainly don't need a personal water bottle. If thirsty, drink, and that's all you ever need to do.

It’s like going through the drive through at McDonald’s. You drive up to the window and see a menu, but not how to make any of the items. You ask for a quarter pounder and you get one, but not step by step instructions on how to make it.

In American football stadiums can be loud when the visiting team is trying to communicate. Depending on the city they will also throw batteries and hit Santa Claus with snowballs while eating horse shit to celebrate victories. The Oakland Raiders fans used to stab each other.

That's why hackers can make a website that looks like your bank website to steal your credentials

Yeah this might actually be a good thread to bring this up in.

I saw some people talking on Instagram about when they were growing up their parents wouldn't let them drink water. They were led to believe that water can dilute your saliva and natural enzymes that digest food and can make it harder to absorb nutrients.

It sounds wrong but... Does anyone know for sure?

But you could argue that we aren't doing as much in our sleep so using less fluid, when awake that's a different matter as we are using everything, including our brains.

Edit: just re-read, yes I agree with you. Thirst is just a sign you are starting to get low and need water, if you ignore that then very likely you will have dehydration

Think of it this way, the brain is 80% water. So just as much as 2% dehydration can really effect its performance and cause issues.

The reason for stealing the page matters here. If you want to plant a tree it is not a good idea to steal the snow instead of the dirt underneath it to plant it.

Honestly, "complex" numbers is so much more accurate. As they're formed of a real and "imaginary" part (even if the real part is 0), they are, as stated, more complex than real numbers.

I'd bet you a hamburger that if you went in and said "I've been incredibly thirsty and urinating a lot, and my vision is fuzzy" they would at the very least check a fingerstick sugar before laughing at you.

Methanol appears at the very start of the run. Almost every moonshiner knows this. So they dunno out the first cup of so.

Like cakes, you can eat and taste even share with your fiends but you have no idea how I made it

It’s not a bad name honestly, because “real numbers” also means something important in math and it excludes imaginary numbers

If we called them Bob numbers, you’d either have to change the name of “real numbers” to “non-Bob numbers” which isn’t great, or you would feel a lot less natural to exclude them.

It’s the same as rational vs irrational numbers. It’s not that pi or the square root of 2 is overly emotional, it’s just a convenient binary for mathematicians to use.

At the time, this was due to the incredibly high dose of prednisone my doctor had me on for some lung issues. Diabetic response to prednisone in general is common enough, I guess. 17 year old me didn’t know that, tho. I used insulin for about 3 months before things leveled back out.

Flash forward 15 years and I am now T1 diabetic, though.

I can second this. Every time it gets really cold where I live, this happens to me. Within a day of it warming back up, the thirst goes away. (And my vision is fine the whole time so I know it's not diabetes.)

I think they would age the cocoa beans to infuse them, rather than the actual chocolate. Bourbons requirement for new barrels every time is just so damn wasteful, imo. But it is what it is.

Tonic is not soda water. It’s quinine juice. Quinine is a bitter, obsolete medical extract that has horrible side effects. If you don’t like a gin and tonic it’s probably not the gin you object to.

check your blood sugar again to make sure your levels are ok.

holy shit that's terrifying. my highest was 340, which was when I was diagnosed with it.

No. I guess I should say I recommend not doing anything that necessitates these surgeries.
