Do people wake up in the middle of the night and drink a whole bottle of water? Am I missing something?
I’m usually like “don’t want to be warm under the covers and need to pee, I don’t dare hydrate past 9 pm”

Our RO-filtered water also flash boils. And flash freezes!
Distilled water is okay now that diets are more complete with vitamins. Especially if you’re eating your veggies. But that would be expensive and unnecessary 😄
I use RO-filtered water and for fun we safely discovered it does flash boil in the microwave.
I use it in a proper glass tea kettle though. It stay clean for months now, it used to get messy in a few days using tap water. I also think tea steeps tea better in low TDS water. From an osmotic point of view, that makes sense.
Normally our tap water is nearly liquid tums 😅
I’m surprised nobody is talking about accidentally flash-boiling in the microwave. Is that because they microwave the tea bag in the water in the cup? Because if you have clean water without the teabag, you could get a cup of exploding water in your face after you disturb the cup.
Maybe there is enough lead in the water to prevent this in America.
This is such a good reply! I didn’t see it before I posted despite it being older, must have been a fedi hiccup.
Just because your parents have dogs doesn’t mean they can offer a safe environment or know what to do with them. All the changes and the environment posed for your dog are incredibly stressful for the dog. Please be compassionate that your dog is going through more than you even though you literally broke your leg and probably experienced the worst pain in your life. Changes in living situations are the biggest adjustments for dogs ever.
Please don’t listen to people suggesting anything with the word dominance, pack mentality, wolf study, punishment or anything forcefull. All of that is guaranteed to make things worse.
A certified trainer (CCPDT and the various acronyms associated, the dog academy, anyone force force free) will get you on course faster than any website or book.
If you want your dog to make it out of this, your dog has to be a priority, make it your part time job.
My quick advice if you can’t afford a trainer and will only look up free internet advice from strangers:
Start with giving them something low value to chew on in a distraction free room. Have 10 minutes worth of super high value treats. When they are chewing the low value, walk up to them and give them the treat. Let them chew on the low value again. Repeat. Try for 10 minutes at a time. Adjust value of chew and treat so they don’t react when you walk up to them.
Next session, If they start wagging their tail when you approach. Try making it harder by taking the item for 1 second then, give them the treat then give it back. Ramp up duration or value of chew and items as progress is made
All of this has to be a happy and joyful affair. You are using a happy and friendly puppy voice the whole time. The dog has to feel good about this the whole time. So make sure you and the dog are in as good of a place mentally when doing it. This will all be harder if the dog doesn’t have other prerequisites like a leave it or drop it command.
There are so many ways you need to modify the above strategy for your particular dog that I can’t stress enough how valuable you’ll find a certified force free trainer to be. A vet check might also be suggested by the trainer. I think my advice is barely scratching the surface of what to do and how to do it, I haven’t even met your dog so what do I even know? Very little!
If you need proof that force free methods are a way, the AVSAB statements are quick and easy to read with tonnes of source citations: https://avsab.org/resources/position-statements/
This is incorrect.
Every reputable source and organisation recognize this pack and dominance theory as an outdated idea, especially for human animal interactions.
The American vetinary society of animal behaviour has very direct and well written statements on that and where the ideas came from and what the modern solutions are.
Yeah! Who’s getting more sad about getting socks every year? As soon as I moved out I started appreciating the gift 😃
If people ask for gift hints I often say “fun socks!”
God, I loved its brand of sci-fi weirdness. Season 2 was extra strange, and I was here for it.
I was sad it got cancelled, but I knew the world wasn’t ready for it
This is cool. I use an app a lot like this but for my puppy. Logging is super helpful at the start of getting a puppy and trying to track bowel habits and training progress.
If you ever feel like it, a mode for tracking puppies is useful. I currently use “Doggy Time” by a developer that also makes a similar baby tracker.
Perhaps we will be to our descendents as the first tetrapods are to us.
Not the worst thing to happen to a species, seems to happen to all of them.
I got a great new story once these clicks dry up: “Expensive disposable fork thrown out a little earlier than forecasted”
I’m not a fan of Elon but low Earth orbit satellites by nature are meant to de-orbit. Yes they cause astronomy light pollution but cannot cause Kessler syndrome since their orbit is temporary from the start. Being so low there is atmospheric drag, which sometimes slows objects more than predicted.
Making news of this is like being shocked that infrastructure undersea cables and communication lines are falling apart and being replaced. It’s a fact of life.
Why should these things be free? The other things we get for free on the web are either supported by donations or they harvest something from you that’s valuable and sell it, that’s not free either.
I’m into the idea of paying for higher quality services and have enjoyed my kagi trial. Might see if I can find someone to split an account with.
If it’s not annoying I could probably use a spare old phone exclusively for android auto. But unfortunately I’m still entrenched in Google services. Slowly dragging myself out.
I’m still desperately in love with android auto. I’d still need a phone with full android permissions and functionality. So graphene is still out.
That’s really cool they smoothed the install process like that. Might try that on my old pixel as a travel phone.
I understand one can flash a pixel. I never want to install another rom again though. I want to buy it and have it become my daily driver with android auto and communication apps within a few hours. I have found the ROM scene to be an enormous time commitment that I no longer want to fiddle with.
I have the same experience. I find somehow the call blocking is more robust on Samsung. I had no idea that they even had that feature parity.
The perception of Samsung being full of bloat is a misnomer. Can’t get rid of lots of Google apps on the pixel and can’t change the photo gallery app or the camera app.
I have my own Cloud and don’t want to use Google’s, and Samsungs software was much more receptive in me de-googling the phone the way I wanted to with my own self hosted photo backup software.
Also I don’t have a hand warmer for a phone now.
Yes! It’s much nicer than fdroid.
Ok now I want to know where people live, if they have AC, what temperature their bedrooms are and how it effects their night water habits.
I’ve never tried keeping water by my bed at night, and chugging if I wake up in the middle of it now I’m night bottle curious 🤔
Like, will I feel magically hydrated and limber in the morning? Just another thing that I add to my routine to make me feel great in the morning?
I’ll update if I piss the bed.
