I have trouble with using tone in my words but not interpreting tone from others' words. Weird, isn't it?

  • Dead OS Walking: 30 Days on Windows XP in 2025 Day 5: What Happens Now — fireborn

  • okay that's enough. here's the actual answer:

    People have told me I don’t know how good I have it.

    That my complaints about Linux['s accessibility for the blind] are too much. That I’m spoiled. That back in the day, things were harder. That Windows XP was worse in every way. That modern systems are faster, more usable, more accessible — and I’m just being dramatic.

    So I decided to call that bluff.

    —part 1

    One of the points Fireborn made in their famous "I Want to Love Linux. It Doesn’t Love Me Back" series is that Linux accessibility has deteriorated a lot over time.

  • Study Finds Water Isn't the Best Drink for Hydration

  • I don't think digesting and water absorption are the same thing. Hydration is absorbing the water and digestion is processing what's left besides the water.

  • RJM is chair of the Scientific Advisory Board for the European Hydration Institute. PW has received funding in the last 3 y from the European Hydration Institute for other hydration-related research. None of the other authors reported a conflict of interest related to the study.

    Could not find much more information on this institute. It ran an introduction to a conference in a supplement to a trusted, peer-reviewed journal but supplements have a general reputation of being advertisements.

  • article links to a yahoo version of 2019 CNN which links to a 2016 study with a URL resulting in a redirect to the new standalone website for the journal now-declared-independence instead of a DOI I had to rescue from the archives which now links to the ScienceDirect hosting of the article instead: https://doi.org/10.3945/ajcn.115.114769 (Thankfully open (archive) access)

    In summary, the present study describes a novel tool to enable the objective assessment of the effectiveness of beverages to maintain hydration status. The BHI is reproducible and the pattern of response for a range of commonly consumed beverages is consistent with what is known about the effects of their constituents on water balance.
