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.

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”

symbicort

It’s an inhaler corticosteroid and anti inflammatory often used for asthma but incredible for post infection cough.

If I’m ever sick and have a cough, this puts a stop to that symptom and recovery is so much faster. Don’t even touch any over the counter cough medicine over this imo.

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!”

Awe, and it’s so respectful to the bats, too; it’s sweet to hear.

I love this, it’s an emotionally regulated rant that’s so eloquently written that it’s more intelligent and informative than the article in question.

Thirsty dog speaks the truth.

I would agree with this answer for the Zeitgeist of how Canadians see Albertans from a stereotypical way, and this is true for our rural population. But politically, Ontario takes the Alabama cake for voting in so many Ford’s so many times. How do you guys keep doing this?

I’ve read all the responses here and am horrified that you seem to live in an ungrounded plastic bubble. Is that a Canberra thing? Or can’t even find a small metal object the size of a coin to make discharging painless, how why?

If it’s an old house there should be tonnes of metal things to touch.

Corners of walls, radiators or central air vents or return air vents, screws on switches or power outlets, furniture with metal bits on it, sinks taps and water fixtures with metal parts, thermostat, fireplace casing.

Literally touch everything and report back.

Yeah wall corners are often metal and the paint on it seems to soften the discharge.

Damn, I was going to suggest this, I do it all the time. Perhaps shuffle around and touch everything in sight until you find something that zaps and therefore discharges you. Once you find something grounding (zappy) touch that before you touch your dog.

I’ll take one

The math we did was that the price was lower than an insurance deductible, and future rate hikes because of that. We also told our insurance company about it, and they said it reduced our home insurance cost. We halved our home insurance cost between the sinope, alarm system, pipe replacement, and changing providers.

For the sinope, you must consider installation cost if you want a plumber to do it. That probably adds hundreds.

I second this!

Most people who have heard of water sensors know of the moen one. I’m in Canada, and my plumber recommended a Canadian company, Sinope. They were much less expensive and had a sensor in the line and ones you could put in and around appliances that use water.

The in-line flow sensor shuts off the water if it senses abnormal flow anywhere. But the physical sensors shut off the water when it’s leaking at that spot.

We’ve had no leaks, but the flow sensor shut off the water when I filled the kiddie pool and forgot to turn it off. It also cuts short, excessively long showers (that can be turned off).

The safety net is fantastic to have. We can install that freezer ice cube maker without a worry.

I really really want to move from google workspace, google photos and google drive. I used it all to backup a 16TB archive, sharing photos with family and friends and keeping my personal files in the cloud and synched across computers. I used a Synology to backup the archive from the computer locally to the Synology and offsite to google drive. But here’s the thing, I’m a somewhat PC and Mac-savvy technical guy, but purely GUI. Is moving to Nextcloud on my synology going to be as easy as moving to google drive? I’m a little scared TBH. There are so many ways of installing next cloud and doing 3-2-1 backups and I don’t have time to handle a little error on a Synology destroying my whole workflow for days… Someone give me hope.

Oh, that whole thing. Every generation has to put up with that. I don’t really want to be a cranky old man.

I’m a 90s kid but don’t use Facebook except as Craigslist for selling things.

“I drank from the garden hose” is a way to say you’re from the 90s? What?.. what other stupid things are they saying? Do people not do this now? And they didn’t in the 80s? Were the 90s peak lawn?

Yes let’s play second life on stadia through YouTube
