Flavoured hydration powders are a solid option, as long as you’re avoiding chemical sweeteners.
The trick is to make them at half the recommended strength by putting the recommended amount into double the volume of water, which will also stop you from giving yourself kidney stones by overloading you with minerals
It’s unfortunately the same case for Tapes and VCRs, those thin plates and strips can be wiped by a reasonably stout magnet
We went from dropping artillery shells on eachother to flight to dropping artillery shells on eachother, to space, to dropping artillery shells on eachother to the internet, all “in the 1900s”
When you’re in a wilful misrepresentation competition and your opponent is an online commenter…
I didn’t say your friends were jackbooted thugs. I am talking about the people and governments that these companies supply.
I would, however, say your friends are working for a company that is actively arming and supporting ethnic cleansing and genocide.
You misread my comment. I said “If you’re living paycheck to paycheck, of course you’ll work for raytheon” meaning that someone who is living on the edge of homelessness will give up their morals and take the job at raytheon, because of the money.
Radars and sensors for what, schoolbuses? Hospitals?
A company making military hardware doesn’t need to make explosives for them to be making weapons.
The same way these AI companies don’t have to pull the trigger, they just provide server space to run their ‘target acquisition’ software and let the jackbooted thugs do the rest.
This question really highlights how this is by design.
The system becomes more and more expensive to exist in, forcing people to choose money over morals every day just to survive.
Because if you’re living paycheck to paycheck, of course you’ll work for raytheon.
Of course youll take that 50k cash for joining the ICE gestapo.
Of course you’ll only ever buy the cheapest shit from amazon and temu despite then using slave labour and killing factory workers.
Of course you’ll give up your morals to not have to live like everyone else that’s been made into the impoverished 90% of the population, on the astronomical chance you’ll get a taste of the 1% life.
Prayer of the refugee holds a special place in my heart.

Aye, it’s going to get a lot worse. Especially for those in countries without the infrastructure to have air conditioning or homes built for temperatures like which we’ve never seen.
I dont think the majority of the planet’s life can adapt to being battered by storms, wildfires, 40-50C heatwaves and flooding
But you’re probably right about the suffering
How can humanity survive the coming climate apocalypse?
Fundamental particles run on Autism? That explains so much.
Warm white lightbulbs, anti blue coatings on glasses and settings in every device, and occasionally remembering to not drink caffeine past 4pm (even if you’re a ‘caffeine makes me tired’ person it still keeps your brain kicking and out of rem sleep) were the kickers that got me into a good sleep schedule
The second I had a pair of glasses with those night driving amber lenses I genuinely noticed my sleep being better, felt myself actually getting tired and would actually go to bed early.
The doomscrolling in bed didn’t help either
Outta my way explainerboy I’ve got a tall woman to historically fumble
Just like a coka cola funded paramilitary organisation quashes a union by killing its members, a crisp sip of coke will quench your thirst like no other
And since all of those are videos without me realising
I know we’re living in the backward world, but this isn’t satire, its pretty much historically accurate.
Fill yer boots mate!
Top three that I use on a regular basis
Bowline (quick knot that’s strong, a common error is that when you try to pull it tight it falls apart, dont panic, you just went the wrong way through the loop you make in step 1)
Sheet bend (a bowline that’s gone horribly wrong somewhere (you’ll get that joke after a bit of practice)lmao but theknot can attach two completely different ropes together)
Figure 8 loop (like a bowline but no matter how much weight you put in the loop it’s still easy to undo)
Reef knot - the most common way to tie two ends together
Monkeys fist (impractical unless you’re throwing ropes into trees, but real fun to make out of old climbing rope if you’ve got pets.
If you want to save your hands and your floor from being shredded and filled with tiny shards of nylon fiber, pick up some of the stuff that has a core and a woven cover from a local hardware store or talk to an outdoor shop to see if theyve got any unusable lengths.
I picked up some Dyneema offcuts dirt cheap from a local sailing chandler’s on ebay (Dyneema’s the brand name for an often overpriced rope made from UHMWPE - “Ultra high molecular weight poly ethylene”, same material as plastic bags but DENSE and as a result hilariously strong- my 3mm thick rope can pull 1 ton before breaking, shit’s WILD)
Things like Acesulfame K, Aspartame, Steviol/Stevia extracts, I called them chemical sweeteners where it would be more accurate to call them artifical sweeteners.
It’s entirely anecdotal, but all of these leave a horrendous taste that overpowers the intended flavours in my opinion.
Sucralose is probably the only one that works as intended (massive sweetness to replace sugars at a fraction of the volume)
