How do you boost intramuscular water retention? I get so dehydrated sometimes my brain burns and hurts.

Those sound like two very different things. Typically your cells manage this just fine on their own with just plain water intake provided the kidneys are working fine. Time to attain equilibrium is also important. For example, dumping a bag of IV fluid into someone’s veins will help replenish the volume of fluid in their blood vessels quickly at the outset. But it will move to the other parts of the body (or get dumped by the kidneys if the intravascular volume is already adequate).

I need serious electrolytes like 1 to 3 body armours to replenish followed by 48oz water. Followed by hours to recalibrate my body from nausea and migraines.

How well hydrated a person is before activity matters more for performance and recovery than we often recognize. Lots of studies of elite athletes and dehydration on performance and recovery. Also of these drinks have artificial sweeteners, that may be playing against you.

Urine can be clear but I can be so thirsty its unbearable. Literally feels like my brain is shrinking.

That sounds miserable. If better pre-activity hydration doesn’t solve the problem, you might want to speak to a care provider and make sure everything is ok with some tests.

The water moving right through is probably a good sign someone is well hydrated! There can be total body water versus intravascular volume depletion scenarios, but not super likely unless someone is sick in other ways.

The xylitol itself may be contributing to GI water losses (it’s only about 50% absorbed through the gut, and osmotically draws water into/keeps water from being absorbed from the intestinal lumen). Depending on the SSRI, this could be exacerbated by bowel irritability that can present as diarrhea (sertraline is notorious for this).

Some folks also report more urination with intake of sugar alcohols like xylitol. I don’t have a mechanism of action for that, so take those reports with a grain of salt. (And also some glucose because sodium-glucose symport allows for water absorption without the need for an ATP pump.)

Shrubs are delectable! But they could be seen as an intimidating suggestion in this context. IKEA has some affordable fruit concentrates of lingonberry, blueberry, and elderflower you could substitute with a splash of vinegar for a refreshing lower effort treat.

Okay, so this isn’t actually about hydration, it’s about the fact that SSRIs commonly cause dry mouth as a side effect due to anticholinergic effects which reduce saliva release Some SSRIs are worse than others, and older TCAs are worse still. But OP is not dehydrated.

Water is great for hydration, but it is unfortunately not very effective at managing dry mouth due to these side effects. Flavoured beverages typically work better because they promote saliva release.

I would suggest OP add something with a sour note to their water, like lemon or lime juice which are unsweetened and have effectively no caloric component. Alternatively even just a splash of carbonated water will also work as the bubbles are irritants and will similarly stimulate saliva release.

Ok gotcha. Don’t have those here, but have encountered Hiluxes on my travels and look to be similar sizes. Looks like a rather small bed, so was surprised you said 6’ bed, unless that is with the tailgate down? Regardless, small electric pickups are definitely missing from the market and everything just keeps getting bigger.

What ICE vehicle has what you’re looking for? I’m not a truck guy, so I don’t know the lay of the land. Long ago, my family got hooked on (mini)vans. They’ve got more bed space than any pickup, and come with a free topper. Plus you can add the seats back in to haul 8 people. Trips to the garden centre and kids outings are equally a cinch.

Silverado has a proper bed (at 5’11”) and the mid gate folds into the cab for around 9’ of length, and loads of range. Affordable is NOT going to go together with range at this point. Though typically if one needs the bed it’s rare to also need the range in the same vehicle.

For iPhones, if you have Find My turned on, you can’t activate the device without the iCloud password, unless the owner removes the device from their iCloud account. Which is what the scammers are trying to get her to do here.

The value of nonlinear storytelling is not plot advancement but character development. It can help the audience understand why characters are choosing to behave they way they are.

This does not mean that the “writing is weak” as plot is only a small part of writing. Character motivations and relationships are key components which raise the stakes for the audience to actually care about the events and characters.

I’d argue in a story where the end is known (there are no surprises in Manhunt) this is even more important.

Check out the Yuba Combi or Mundo Lux. There are a few dealers on the island. They come in both electric and acoustic.

I want the longer wheelbase of the NA variant and the bigger battery that goes with it. In fact, I’d like a bit bigger battery than what’s on offer (given the charging topping out in the 170kw range) to be able to legitimately road trip with it. 5hr drives turn into 7 with a smaller battery and lousy charging curve, and the infrastructure in my neck of the woods isn’t great for where we want to go as a family.

Interesting. I will take a look and see if that fixes it. Thanks for the tip!

The layout of Plex definitely fits my brain waaaaay better with respect to navigation. But I hardly use it because I keep running into playback stuttering which doesn’t happen on Infuse, which I point at Jellyfin in my Synology. Will give this version another try.

‘Cause it a-moooses you?

During a cycling workout, the instructor said “our destination is breathless” as a motivator to really push hard. I thought she said “our destination is breakfast” and honestly, I prefer my version.

Why do you believe that judges (or even juries made of lay people) can make sense of the very things that you’re so confident legislators or regulators cannot?

I’m not saying regulation is perfect, and as a result, certainly there is a role for judicial review. But come on, man…lots of non sequiturs and straw dogs in your argument.

That’s more of a Shelbyville idea

Or maybe, like, regulation?

You can absolutely set up an AppleTV with no other Apple device in your possession. It is a very good player for many things but much of this is dependent on your choice of application. For compatibility and no transcoding, Infuse is the best I’ve found, provided it’s pointed at a Jellyfin instance. Not a great choice just pointed at a local or cloud SMB share (though possible) as its cache gets cleared frequently.

AFAIK, Shield Pro remains the only option that can play back Atmos from ripped media, but would be happy to be corrected on this.
