If you remember to, please report back, more data is always good!

Lol, I wish. As far as I know, this isn’t a well documented thing, my PCP was kinda like, “huh, that’s interesting, I wonder how many people are dehydrated because of that.”

The only reason I discovered this is cuz my girlfriend knows me very very well and she suspected there was something off. So she asked me probing questions until we discovered I’m literally drinking incorrectly.

So the best I can do is give you a couple of different ways to drink and see if you notice any difference in how easy or difficult it is to comfortably drink without ingesting air.

So first thing we did was have me drink from a bottle. Any bottle where you can form a full seal around the opening with your mouth. Tilt back and let the fluid fill your mouth as much as possible before starting to swallow. That should mean a very minimal amount of air in the first gulp, and no additional air in each subsequent gulp because it’s sealed.

Contrast that with drinking from a normal glass, and you may find that you’re gulping down air as you’re drinking with each gulp. In that case, a straw will probably prevent you from doing that.

But really drinking from a bottle really illustrated the mechanical difference to me and made me realize my hatred for drinking was definitely born of a physical discomfort which was ultimately from a poor technique.

And after I thought about it, I was like ya know, no one really ever taught us how to drink did they? We all just figure it out, and assume we all learned the same lessons.

This might have all been the biggest factor in me never really being into drinking alcohol, because the very concept always sounded like a chore to me.

Anyway, I hope that helps!

I only recently found out I have literal bad technique when it comes to drinking fluids, end up inadvertently swallowing too much air which makes it an unpleasant experience. Combined with ADHD and I’m a poster child for dehydration. Not that I experience much issues, but my skin is definitely dry.

I used to but now I’m using a very thin case from Latercase. I’d say cases are the norm.

You can wheels within wheels this shit for eternity. Answer this question and you’ll have the answer. What do you want to do? Do that.

You can steal it, buy it, borrow it, whatever. Ultimately there is no objective right answer. If you think you’ll be better equipped to counter argue the message by reading it, I say that’s more honorable than arguing against it without knowing what it is.

Yep. ThermoWorks is the brand I have.

Why is everyone assuming this is about weight? What’s the reverse image search part mean? I feel like there’s something else to this.

You can be flippant or you can respond earnestly. You don’t want to discuss then don’t comment in the first place.

You didn’t answer the question. You dumb.

Who is dumber? The one calling people dumb, or the one unable to answer their questions? Don’t use metaphors if you don’t understand them or can’t explain how they are valid.

Is the artist who writes with inspiration from previous works also stealing? Every story draws from other stories. Most art is always a representation of things that explicit consent was not always recorded to create.

This reminds me of Napster days. We can pontificate endlessly over the moral and philosophical arguments. Meanwhile, time is passing and the tools become more commonplace. I just skip to the end and change with the times. The other option is to die with old fashioned beliefs. Neither option is correct, it just is what it is. Which do you prefer?

… He’s not equipped? Your metaphor was nonsensical. Let’s say he did copy his exam answers. Who lost their answers as a result?

Hence copying is not stealing.

Additionally, who was harmed by the copying in your example, and how?

I kinda feel like all I hear is anti AI talk. Meanwhile I’m in the camp of don’t demonize tools, demonize what people do with the tools that’s damaging.

As for art, I don’t know how to ascribe value to art. The Mona Lisa exists. As do copies of it that are worthless. At what point will the original have no value by virtue of the quality of the copies? Will a molecularly identical copy made with a Star Trek replicator make the original worthless? Or will it always be valued as the original?

There’s someone out there for everyone. I wish you luck finding them.

Microsoft is an Eldritch hydra monstrosity. I think it has become its own civilization. I think it’s so large that it just exists as a self sustaining chaos phenomena. I don’t think the organization can make a decision. One department of thousands makes a decision. And they all jostle about breaking each other’s shit every other day.

“The strain of anti-intellectualism has been a constant thread winding its way through our political and cultural life, nurtured by the false notion that democracy means that ‘my ignorance is just as good as your knowledge.’”

Haha, I’m just playing, poking fun at the fact that the right loves to shit on EV’s.

Roll coal!!!

Yeah, they are literally begging maga idiots to buy TSLA to keep the price up while executives are unloading shares. International sales completely gone. Domestic sales declining. Cybertruck flopped. Tariffs are going to cripple their production. Competing EV are making TSLA look like amateurs. Like, what’s the upside?

Encourage the public to buy it while executives unload millions, yeah, wonder why they are recommending that.
