If you think of Steve Gibson as more of a technical minded journalist and less of a "security expert", then the show is very enjoyable. There's a lot less grave errors now than there used to be, his voice is pleasant and he u

"You're not doing it right" can be its own criticism though. If you're not doing X right then maybe that means it's too hard to use X in a way that adds value. X can be useful for one person in one situation and not

Yes, but you can at least move it elsewhere as long as you haven't let go.

It's not supposed to be a source at all, it's supposed to be a reminder that advice about "staying hydrated" are common—and wrong.

That depends on where we draw the line for "reduced functionality", but I think we generally agree. My point is that in normal circumstances you don't have to drink unless you're feeling thirsty. Ignoring thirst causes s

Indeed it was! Three day day-and-night march/exercise with hot temperatures even during the night due to midnight sun. We ended up getting resupplied with salt that we added to our canteens to avoid any more incidents. We were more use

Didn't seem like there was much hope of that with the response I got anyway. I'm not here to take condescending comments with no substance (i.e. pointing out why it supposedly was nonsense), so I decided it was better to remove th

My experience is the opposite. I've never witnessed serious dehydration, i.e. with symptoms beyond cramps, but I've encountered various cases of serious spontaneous over-hydration, including a heli evac. It's worth pointing o

That is kind of a contradiction. Presumably you have felt thirsty many times and had something to drink, and if you didn't drink you would have become dehydrated. But you didn't become dehydrated because you had something to drink

You're probably right. I did not know about them, will have to check them out. Thanks!

What an exceptionally unconstructive and condescending comment.

If you can back that up with a source, please do so. In any case, my point isn't about margins. My point is that you get thirsty if you need to drink more water. With some exceptions, such as old age. Drinking too much water is harmful

Your specific circumstances don't change the general rule, which is that for most people and under most conditions, hydration status is correctly balanced by thirst. There are indeed exceptions, such as when getting older, which I addr

You would have to try harder to drink too little water, because your body regulates hydration by getting thirsty, under normal conditions. Overhydration can lead to significant consequences such as heart failure and urinary tract abnormal

It's worth emphasizing, which they also do, that this primarily affects middle-aged to older people, and "extreme" conditions. There is no benefit to "stay hydrated" beyond not being dehydrated and in fact it can

I read some of the pages before and after that footnote. Highly disturbing, to say the least.

Same! Except I've basically stopped using reddit. It used to be that if I got a "happy cake day" then I knew nuking the account was overdue.

When the changes went through I nuked all my comments and then my account. I don't know if many others did the same, but if so it would mean that you wouldn't see our "I'm leaving" comments anymore, i.e. that we wou

Well, you can be surprised. It's surprisingly common, in my experience, to believe people who pretend they are on your side. One interesting and typical case that is documented through countless online videos is police interrogations,
