I saw one this morning, it gave me a little chuckle.

Starlink looks a lot like this when new satellites are moving into their final orbit, basically a string of dots slowly moving across the sky. I happened to see some last winter; it was pretty trippy to watch.

I can understand the desire to change it given that the current name is arguably a slur in some contexts, but this is a terrible new name. There was a fork awhile back with this same motivation called "Glimpse" - I really think they should have chosen a name with some continuity from the original, and certainly not what looks to be an initialism (I never would have come to "Wilbur" on my own).

"Git" is only really a word in British English which implicitly gives it lower worldwide cultural penetration than a general English term. For most non-British programmers (and honestly I would imagine many British ones given how ubiquitous Git VC is now), "Git" refers to the software first and the pejorative second, if they've even heard of the latter before.

Respectfully, what on Earth are you talking about? OP has only indicated that they're trying to be health-conscious by maintaining proper hydration - the weird "societal pressure" angle is being superimposed by you. As I alluded to in my previous comment, it's easy to ignore mild dehydration and sometimes a conscious effort is needed to maintain optimal intake. "Drink when you're thirsty" is fine in a vacuum, but to distill (no pun intended) hydration advice down to just that is to ignore how people work in real life.

I don't know why you're bringing up hyponatremia. Water toxicity is exceedingly rare and one would need to consume an inordinate amount of water in short time before it becomes "unsafe." You're unnecessarily fearmongering and pushing misinformation when you don't know what you're talking about.

Also, there's no "water-pushing" conspiracy at play here. It's just a reality that most people don't consume as much water as they ideally should, and as a result people sometimes draw attention to that reality as a means of improving the general health of society.

OP, please don't listen to this person. Most of this is terrible advice.

To start, it's still advisable to drink water through the day even if you're getting some from your food intake. A typical diet will provide around 20% of the recommended daily amount - the rest needs to come from actual fluid intake. Even with a diet with a high proportion of fruits and vegetables, it doesn't come close to meeting the ideal amount.

Coffee and beer are not the same as the equivalent amount of pure water. Caffeine and ethanol both function as diuretics - that is, they promote urine production which in turn reduces your overall hydration. Ethanol is worse in this category to the extent that alcoholic drinks can actually dehydrate you. Caffeine has a more mild effect and is overall hydrating, but a cup of coffee still isn't equivalent to a cup of water.

Citrus fruits do help prevent kidney stone formation, but it's primarily via a different mechanism involving the citrate found in those fruits/juices rather than the acidity itself. Not that this matters too much in practice, but I point this out due to the inclusion of "other acidic beverages" as an alternative.

Chronic mild dehydration (generally) won't kill you, but it will prevent your body from functioning at its best and can potentially cause issues with electrolyte imbalances, blood pH, and plenty else. You should aim to stay optimally hydrated as much as possible for the benefit of your overall health.

"Drink when you're thirsty" is the one solid piece of advice here. Your body has evolved cues like this over hundreds of millions in order to get you to take good care of it, and its best to listen to them as much as possible. That said: these cues only works when you're cognizant of them, and it's still important to be actively mindful and intermittently remind yourself to follow them, especially when you're involved in tasks that would otherwise distract you from them.

The second paragraph isn't accurate - Android uses the Linux kernel. Hardware manufacturers typically ship their own proprietary modules, but in principle there's nothing stopping you from running a mainline kernel image as long as support for the specific device or SoC is present. Granted, this isn't the case for the majority of phones, but this isn't a limitation of Android itself and you'd run into the same issue trying to run postmarketOS or really anything else on an unsupported device.

I also want to point out that there really aren't any good alternatives to Android (and its derivatives) at the moment. Mobile Linux distributions are getting better, but at least in my personal experience and from what I've heard from others it's still a pretty janky experience in comparison and arguably is only suitable for enthusiasts.

Someone please correct me if I'm mistaken, but Narcan (naloxone) is not used for overdoses on non-opiod drugs like meth or LSD. As other commenters have pointed out it specifically binds to opioid receptors, so it's not going to be useful for a drug that operates via a different primary mechanism. The same goes for THC, which binds to cannabinoid receptors instead. Frankly, I would expect a medical professional to just know this.

The closest thing I can think of is @author unascribed sometimes seen in Javadoc comments, but I don't think that's used in quite the same way as what you're asking.

You should verbally indicate that you don't wish to answer questions rather than staying totally silent. That said, there are circumstances where cooperating can make your life easier if you're able to easily and clearly dispel the officer's suspicion, though this is highly dependent on situation and the specific cop you're dealing with. If you are doing something wrong the best thing is always to stfu.

According to the link you provided, every US state has implied consent laws which trigger an automatic DL suspension if you refuse a breathalyzer.

Not to interject, but when people talk about using "Linux" they're generally referring to desktop Linux (usually GNU/Linux). ChromeOS and SteamOS are Linux distros of a sort under the hood, but they're also highly curated experiences. Android technically uses the Linux kernel but architecturally it's so drastically different from basically any other system using it that it's quite misleading to call it "Linux" in the colloquial sense.
