I worked with a renal physiologist and beer aficionado who swore that in fact all beers are net hydrating beverages. I trusted the guys grasp of his field enough not to dispute his claim. Besides, too good to check! Seriously though it makes sense. You drink a beer, you go take a piss sure but...

Another myth. No, beer is a net hydrating beverage. You can literally drink beer after a race and get measurably hydrated. Most of what people say about human nutrition is a myth, but almost all of what people say about hydration is a myth.

I'm just surprised you didnt try to fancy gay it up by saying "I don't think I've ever utilized it in a sentence" literally first time I've ever encountered someone defending "bespoke", its kind of awesome

and this is the first time I've ever heard anyone try to defend it. But absolutely par for the course on FoH usually people just laugh, agree with me that theyre pretty faggy words, and move on

This morning I'm here to share some actually important science https://www.popsci.com/health/coffee-myths/ Most of these arent really widely believed, but the dehydration myth is. I enjoy that they debunked it with both an experiment and with the obvious statement that should have...

FTFY Clown world was locked in the day they started calling actresses actors instead, and everybody just nodded and was like oh ok

3 hours low and slow. Not because it takes that long to get it cooked but because it makes the best roast chicken. Lots of people roast chickens at higher temps for shorter times. It makes a very inferior bird. But you can do it. Probably an hour if speed is the goal. But its seriously much...

Out of curiosity, when society runs a multi-decades long program of subversive propaganda, precisely how many times are viewers permitted to complain about it before it gets boring for you? Its important that we all know these things so we can keep you optimally entertained.

Is it the writing (TV adaptation) or was it like that in the game, I wonder? Its fundamental to this plot point. The black chick that was friends with Ellie's mom,in a real world she would need some really convincing evidence that killing her friends little girl would produce a cure. But she...

This makes twice now. Two times Joel was confronted about rescuing Ellie, but didn't mention the single biggest argument in his defense. There was never any reason to think cutting the little girls brain open would produce a cure. It was a fucking science experiment. Nobody ever made a cure...

CRISPR causes so many off target effects, kids gonna have an interesting life. But I guess if it was a lethal condition thats a tradeoff worth making. What really grinds my gears is that they used that absolutely faggot-infested word "bespoke" in the summary. Customized works just fine here...

Joints are just the best way to go, a whole industry tried to convince us to spend money on ridiculous glassware and shit, and all it ever did was make the pot taste bad after the first couple hits. Or get that disgusting resin all over your hands while cleaning. I threw away all the other...

Olive oil, salt, pepper, garlic, rosemary, thyme. Last 3 are optional. Garlic powder works fine too if thats all you have. But of course its chicken, theres a thousand different ways to season it and I'm not sure any are wrong

My preference is simple. Season it up, then 3 hours at 250 in the oven. Then crank it to 450 til brown, turn off the oven, and leave it in while you finish getting sides together. Tender as rotisserie every time, easy peasy. edit: thats for two birds cooked side by side, I'm feeding 3...

Theres lots of good advice in this thread but I wanted to comment on this specifically. Theres good evidence that yes, smiling actually helps you feel better. The suggestion isnt "smile so other people think you're happy". Its literally smile so you start feeling a little bit happy. Its weird...

I didnt know that - its completely opposite from either the Euro or Chinese approaches. In any case, like I said, I really doubt it makes any detectable difference in the finished product. Its rice

Pretty sure the criticism is that she boiled the rice in a metric shit ton of water then strained it like it was pasta. Which is a pretty bizarre way of cooking rice I have to admit. That said, I bet it tasted just like any other white rice by the end of the video

you know how I know you're gay? and no, I don't mean all that stuff about "bodybuilders" showing pictures of their bodies to other men

Normal people start their emails like this. "Hi Joe, " or "Dear Joe," or "Hey dude"or whatever. There is a specific name for this part of the correspondence. Old etiquette books probably gave it a whole chapter (for written letters) People who are butthurt start their emails like this...

I feel I should clarify I meant "Name:" as like "John:" or "Patrick:" or something, but fair enough! I guess I'd probably react about the same if they opened with literally "Name:"

https://www.afterbabel.com/p/on-the-death-of-daydreaming A great read on how smartphones have fucked up humans. Whats unique in this piece is it doesnt pretend its an issue for children. It starts right off by saying "yeah this is happening to adults to". Theres a dozen quotable sections but I...

Thats a weird way to spell "normal and sensible and how every forum used to do it"

People that open their emails with "Name:" are as bad as people who sign their email "Regards," Although the latter is at least unintentionally funnier if you've spent any time on WSB. Seriously though, emails are a famously difficult medium for conveying tone, its real easy to accidentally...

I felt exactly the same way until she started beating nose ring bitch with a pipe then I started liking her a lot more They've built a great setup for totally justified and righteous violence as she gets revenge, they just have to give us payoff. I don't know the game story, so no idea if...

Generally yes. Half the people in this argument don't seem to understand what a normal distribution is, or why it almost inevitably shows up anytime a continuously variable feature (like height, attractiveness, or movie quality) is measured. Theres literally a law that describes this...

Havent had that exact experience but I've sure had people stop by in person to ask if I saw their email. I need to be clear. They don't stop by in person to ask me the question they asked in their email, or something reasonable like that. They ask me if I saw their email. It turns out the...

Oh I'm not defending auto reply. But yes I am away from my email. Every time I'm not logged in. My objection is based on the fucking assholes who think responding a day or two after the email is sent is somehow "late".

Things that rustle my jimmies: the assumption that no one is actually away from their email I log in a couple times a day. The rest of the time I am logged the fuck out. Doctors, firefighters, and drug dealers are on call. Fuck that right in its ear

I'm gonna get slammed for saying this in the "grown up" forum We're on a forum where people talk about their safaris in Africa, their amazing careers that somehow leave them time for 19k posts on an elfpixel forum, their hot wives that give them enthusiastic blowjobs all the time, and their...

Well, every time I bring up sheep people say "goats are more fun", but maybe I havent asked enough follow up questions

Get sheep. Hair sheep. Lowest maintenance farm animal ever. Clear brush almost as well as goats. But they actually stay *inside* your fence. Actually, a fence is almost overkill - you could probably just point and say "stay here". Or if you really enjoy chasing farm animals, get goats.

Sacrificing a kid to maybe possibly save humanity, without trying any non-lethal means, or even giving her a chance to volunteer? Just trick her and kill her hoping for a cure? No, brother, thats fuckin straight up evil. Arent you a little old for edgelording on the internet? Sad. The episode...

Which ones do that? Christianity doesnt. By extension I'm pretty sure Judaism doesnt either, so Islam shouldnt. Maybe some Asian religion? I know less about them.

What bugged me about Joels death. Shooting the murderdoctor was a totally justified act. That what made it such a great episode, he killed like 20+ people and every one of them absolutely got what they deserved. But when his captors get all high and mighty about it like oh no you killed my...

But what you have to remember is these people are retarded. They saw the success of game of thrones and said "ah, the people want fantasy with tits that subverts expectations! got it!" Following the source material faithfully never occurred to them once

eh I'm sure they're gonna gay it up somehow. but theyre all the right race and gender or close enough to pass. they look the part more or less. it has fan service from herbie to the ridiculous F4 car. really aside from the genderswapped surfer whats there to hate so far?

That looks good. And I know its popular to hate on the multiverse these days but I still think the decision to start F4 in a different universe was inspired. It let them put together a version thats true to the source material without worrying that the F4 aesthetic doesnt fit in at all with...

Yeah I mean thats the formula. Ep 1, someone gets murdered but you don't know who dies or who kills them. Then they spend 8 or 10 episodes introducing ridiculous rich assholes you want to die, and people you can imagine killing them. So you spend the season hoping its this one or that one...

holy fuck its like watching a woman try to use a hammer Not really a comment on equipment, race, or potatoes. Just WTF, do you not understand how your arms work?

Hotel reverie was kinda boring for me but I did enjoy how it just non-stop made fun of people idolizing dumbass old B&W movies. Bete Noire was great, top tier Black Mirror.
