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.)

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.

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.

I’m in healthcare and education, and find morning huddles are very helpful. We run the patient list, identify who might need us to track some results down, and assign learners to patients they know or who appear to have presentations they should prioritize for their learning. Reception joins to see if any changes are needed to make sure patients have the right amount of time allocated, or if we have room for some squeeze ins. If there are any priority issues (patients we MUST see that day) that gets shared so no matter who gets the call, we are able to react appropriately. Whole thing takes well under 10min, and is hugely helpful.

Some genius added another huddle first thing in the afternoon schedule, which is rather useless, but since we never get to eat lunch, this leaves a bit of time before the chaos of the afternoon strikes to grab a bite or run to the bathroom.

To sync across different devices maybe?

Infuse for Apple TV will do this. You can point it to any folder on your NAS as an SMB share. It’s how I play back my own Blu-ray Discs, 4K or otherwise. It doesn’t do menus that I remember, but you can select the title easily enough.

Highly recommend also pointing it to your Jellyfin instance and using that as your front end for other files as it seems to me to have the best ability to do direct playback without transcoding, and the fewest hiccups for audio playback sync issues which can be annoying.

While you can just point Infuse directly at your other folders, its metadata cache gets dumped frequently by the OS, and it has to get rebuilt which is slow and annoying when you just want to watch something. Pointing at Jellyfin also lets you use whatever custom Jellyfin posters you’ve selected which helps for keeping special versions/collections identifiable visually.

Fastmail with a custom domain. It’s great, and has a nice migration tool for moving everything over from Gmail. Also integrates nicely with 1Password for personalized email addresses for each service I sign up for, which I can nuke as needed if needed.

Read the book when I was childless. Sat down to watch the film after I had children. Lasted about 5 minutes. Had to turn it off and do something else.

My understanding is that, on a cosmic scale, these timeframes are not tremendously different!

It evaporates quickly, providing a cooling action which is soothing for sore muscles or joints (hence the rubbing part, it was used as a liniment during massage) and is an antiseptic.

Yeah one of the things that Ford did well with the Lighting was to initially advertise the range with an appropriate load. I don’t know if they’re still doing so, but it took some of the guesswork out for buyers who were actually going to use it as a truck instead of a station wagon.

I have a number of Indigenous colleagues who were thrilled to see Indigenous characters and perspectives on the screen (see also: Rez Dogs, which hits so many tropes so well). As someone who finally saw their own culture reflected when My Big Fat Greek Wedding came out, the way my heart glowed was memorable, and I hope as many people as possible get to see their own cultures in the same way. I was a bit sad that the Cherokee version was a dub instead of the actors speaking it themselves but loss of language is one of the many shameful legacies of colonization. (In that vein I really liked what Brøn/Brœn did with Danish/Swedish characters speaking to each other in their own languages, and reminds me of English/French Canadian productions like Bon Cop/Bad Cop where they move between languages seamlessly)
