OP said “I don’t like drinking water” and my response to that is, then don’t. No reason to force a habit. Could even be risky to just follow the advice of somebody on the internet.

Grand Canyon EMS responded to 474 nonfatal and 6 fatal HRI cases, with the majority (84%) being US residents, 29% from Western states. Of the nonfatal cases, 51% were women, the median age was 43 years (range, 11–83 years), and 18% reported a cardiovascular condition. Clinical HRI assessments included dehydration (25%), heat exhaustion (23%), and suspected hyponatremia (19%).

Reference

Hyponatremia was found to be almost as common as dehydration at the Grand Canyon. It is not a rare condition. It is very important to bring salty snacks when hiking in the heat. As important as bringing water.

Most people don’t drink enough water maybe, but most people also eat loads of sodium from ultra processed food, many times what the body needs.

Anyway there are many perfectly healthy people who drink very little water. There are also people who drink their own urine. Don’t worry about it.

We don’t know OPs diet. All we know is that OP feels some kind of societal pressure to drink more than they want to. Nobody should do that. We should consume the amount that feels right and it’s as simple as that. Those who consume a high fat diet, or are overweight may have plenty of metabolic water through fat.

Water pushers are just as wrong as I am. Hyponatraemia can be fatal and it can have similar symptoms to heat exhaustion, leading people to chug more water. The only safe advice for water is to drink what feels right.

Don’t. Drinking water with meals dilutes your stomach acid. Just eat less processed food and less salt and you’ll barely need to drink any water. Cooked vegetables and fruit are both mostly water.

Only time you need to drink water is when exercising outdoors for extended periods, and even then it’s about 3-4 liters per day (including food).

Also despite a lot of bogus advice out there, coffee is water, beer is 94% water. I have gone months with only coffee and beer and it’s not a problem.

Finally that brings us to kidney stones. Avoid high oxalate foods, and if you are worried about stones drink lemon water or other acidic beverages, as it dissolves stones better than plain water.

Chronic mild dehydration is not a disease and it does not need treatment. I am not a doctor, and this is not medical advice.

Drink when you’re thirsty. Water or any other liquid other than soda pop. You’ll probably be fine.

I think it’s made me more flexible with time in general. But yeah stoplights and traffic matter more than how you drive. It’s futile to think you can go any faster, just enjoy the ride.

About 15 years ago I decided not to be in a hurry when I’m driving, and also to not get frustrated with any other drivers. I just figured I’m gonna be spending too much time of my life in a car I might as well not be getting upset about it. For aggressive drivers I make up a story about how they have explosive diarrhea or something else urgent to attend to. It has made a profound and permanent improvement to my life. Would recommend to a friend.

I’m very picky in the sense that I want to enjoy a whole album, or multiple albums from one artist. I don’t care about singles. I love finding new artists but it’s exhausting to search. Most recent search netted me The Cat Empire and alt-J, but this was back in 2018 or so. Usually when I want new music I can just get new albums from artists I already like. Then, every once in a while I’m sorely disappointed like when Arctic Monkeys decided they’re an elevator rock band (2018).

Cmon at least tell me what it’s filled with. Balsa wood? Cork?

Probably 2 or 3 at most

It started in 1971 and it’s still running its course. So, look around I guess. If we don’t do anything in another 20 years it won’t be possible to own a home for anybody. We will all be severely restricted on what we can eat and how we can travel. Everything you buy will be disposable garbage that makes you sick and needs replacement often.

I host video streaming for personal use and gigabit doesn’t even flinch.

The only use for such speeds in the home is offloading all your data and computing to cloud services. Yay? Symmetrical gigabit is already about 5 times faster than I would ever need. Most people are too lazy to even run a LAN cable to get better than 150-300 mbps.

Wanting grapes is an intrusive thought. Your body and the gut biomes are creating that thought (with the threat of discomfort), and putting it in your brain. Your thoughts are not you. You react to them.

The splash is a free bidet

The news article should be free to read. After all it’s only text and it was written to be read. Ads greatly detract from the whole experience.

My proposal for a new model of news would be to be able to create an account for a one time fee of $5, which allows you to comment on articles for $0.25 per comment. Users who are logged in are also allowed to tip articles they enjoy, with proceeds going at least 50% to the author. Another option would be to hide or blur all images on articles unless the user pays $0.25. I think this model could make money, and allow customers to pay as you go and support the content they want more of. A regular subscription is a blank check for them to publish anything.

They probably had internet in Atlantis, or something like it, so that would be a shutdown of like 20,000 years or so before it was invented again.

Disconnect your TV from the internet and don’t let it update (downgrade) your software.

I agree. Proof of reincarnation gives weight to NDEs which have often claimed that this life and its lessons were chosen before incarnation. Furthermore it gives evidence that trauma can persist through lives and by offing yourself you’d likely have to experience the pain of your suicide through everyone who cares. Then you’d carry that extra trauma into the reboot needing even more life experience to heal. It’s a pretty long boot sequence to be learning the same lessons again.

You’d have to come back as a caterpillar first.

Okay? I meant it quite sincerely. Don’t worry about changing your parents. They will die soon enough. Just enjoy your time together.

Judge not, before you judge yourself.
