    You also lose salts sweating, so if you drink water, sweat, and don’t replace salts in your blood the inside now saltier parts of your body (like your brain) can pull water out of your blood and swell up, and your brain is trapped in your skull and has nowhere to expand to. Even if you lose lots of water sweating you can still get edema from too much water. You also lose water to respiration which doesn’t take salts with it.

    I’ve never been super careful about it exercising. I just drink only when I’m thirsty, and hate the taste of gatorade, so if gatorade tastes good I drink that until it doesn’t, and if it doesn’t taste good and I’m thirsty I drink water. Or if my pee isn’t clear I drink water.


  • I used to have practices where I’d routinely drink 168 oz (a full 40 oz bottle plus a gallon of refills) over the course of a couple hours. 37 cups is a gallon more than that. It’s enough water to cool off about another 2000 kCal of exercise.

    I wonder if he’s still throwing down 4-6 megacalorie days now that he’s retired.






  • Most crosswalks in the US are not marked, and in all places I’m familiar with vehicles must stop or yield to pedestrians at unmarked crosswalks.

    At unmarked crosswalks and marked but uncontrolled crosswalks we have to handle the situation with social cues about which direction the pedestrian wants to cross the street/road/highway and if they will feel safer crossing the road after a vehicle has passed than before (almost always for homeless pedestrians and frequently for pedestrians in moderate traffic).

    If waymo can’t figure out if something intends or is likely to enter the highway they can’t drive a car. Those can be people at crosswalks, people crossing at places other than crosswalks, blind pedestrians crossing anywhere, deaf and blind pedestrians crossing even at controlled intersections, kids or wildlife or livestock running toward the road, etc.











  • A red flag.

    Sharing dangerous ideas with somebody to show that you think they are safe is an honest signal of trust, but only if the dangerous ideas are genuine.

    Someone who attempts to buy trust disingenuously is not to be trusted.

    Someone who thinks in terms of kompromat and manipulation is dangerous to be around.
