Thanks, I hate it.

Do you have a source for that? Genuinely asking, I use a VPN and would like to read more into it

See I've heard the opposite, at least for deer. Deer seek out salts since they grow antlers every year which takes a ton of calcium, so peeing on trees makes them target the bark where you've peed. Not totally sure tho

Not a doctor, but my understanding is that excessive electrolytes are hard on your kidneys. Most people do not need an electrolyte drink everyday, unless they are athletes/regularly working up a sweat or missing salts in their diet

I've explained to many adults, many with college educations, that insects are animals. Understandable for those who don't realize corals are animals, but they think bugs are plants or something? Smh

I'm unfortunately not there physically to help, but my mom has this light switch she needs to remove temporarily and replace the plate. Her "handyman" installed it 'brand new' within the past few years. I told her it looked like it was from the 80s haha. Anyways, she apparently cannot remove the knob for the life of her, shouldn't the knob be able to simply pull off without breaking?

I read this post to my autistic boyfriend and he just shared that he's a total Devo nerd, so diagnosis checks out

It's on everything, my fingernails are glued to my skin underneath, I hate everything and most of all I hate spray foam.

Thanks for letting me rant. I normally read instructions before using a product and now I'm avoiding the room where it's on everything... How fucked am I?

Update: We've cleaned most of it up from the room... Our hands, not so much lol. I appreciate the advice and support, hopefully y'all got a good laugh on our behalf :)

Ps. It works great as a diy wax for hairy arms!

Rhode Island isn't really an island. Like, yeah it's named after one of its islands, but people who live in the state are on the continental part. I thought the whole state was an island lmao

Also another fun fact: not all tardigrades are capable of going into the tun state. For example, aquatic tardigrades that live in freshwater streams can form what is called a summer egg, which allows them to survive hot and potentially dry conditions, but I don't believe much has been studied on this alternative state. IIRC marine tardigrades also cannot achieve the tun state, so this really only applies to terrestrial^*^ tardigrades.

^*^Terrestrial tardigrades are also sometimes referred to as aquatic tardigrades as they are only active (not in the tun state) in the presence of water (e.g., after it rains)
