If the yellow jersey calls for one, pee stops for the peleton are mandatory.

If a train breaks up the peleton at a level crossing, and you’re on the far side, you wait.

The final stage should have no impact on the overall classification. But this year it will as it’s a TT in Nice, not a stroll down the Champs, so it will!

If the yellow jersey falls or has a mechanical, the group they’re in, waits. (Mostly true for any competitor with a chance to win in that group)

In a breakaway, if you’re competing for points in one classification, you don’t contest points in the others if other members of the group are trying for those. So if you’re rocking the polkadot, you take it easy at the sprints.

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.

I've never used the atv

We can tell, because…

Why doesn't the remote have T9-like keys, or voice input?

It absolutely has voice input.

For passwords, copying and pasting my long, unique, complex passwords from my phone is way easier than any T9 input would ever be.

I have used numerous smart TVs native systems, Google TV boxes, and the NVIDIA Shield. I could not tolerate the UI paradigms or THE FUCKING ADVERTISEMENTS on literally every other system. It is repulsive.

Bonus points to the NVIDIA Shield for being alone it it’s ability to do Atmos from my own media files, though...

Shame is a mismatch between ego and ego-ideal, whereas guilt is a mismatch between ego and super-ego. The ego-ideal in shame does depend on social norms. But that is by no means “artificial”.

Me too. It’s a sick fact. Sharks are still older than trees tho…

[-] DrinkMonkey@lemmy.ca 45 points 8 months ago

It is partly true. Polaris is in fact a triple star system. The youngest of the three stars (Polaris Aa) is indeed younger than sharks at between 45 and 67My old. It is in tight orbit with Polaris Ab which is 500My old, and Polaris B which is 1.5By old and a little bit farther away. Here’s a pic from Hubble:

In addition to being able to take AAs, my FM radio has a solar panel and a hand crank to recharge the included rechargeable battery, which can charge a phone in a pinch. Win all around!

This works both for bullets and measles

Long COVID includes mitochondrial and endothelial dysfunction, postural tachycardia (can’t stand up in the shower), and many other features which are not typically part of depression. Long COVID (may be better to use the term myalgic myeloencephaletis) can certainly precipitate mood disorders, but they are typically reactive, or adjustment related.

Interesting how everyone is focussed on his previous acting turn as Lando and not on his significant writing chops. To be in the 30 Rock writers room as a student at NYU (and just like Kenneth Ellen Parcell, he’s from Stone Mountain, GA) to doing absolutely everything on Atlanta (acting, writing, directing, producing), is a pretty solid resume arc. I’ll choose to trust his considerable skill.

The criticism I often hear for this is from drivers. My question is always “Would it be better for you if I got off and walked and you had to wait 2-3x as long for me to cross?”
