Alcohol and Backpacking by Ethanol_Based_Lifein CampingandHiking

[–]drwatson 0 points1 point ago

The abstract from your first reference seems to contradict the point you are making. Could you explain?

"These results suggest that alcohol has a negligible diuretic effect when consumed in dilute solution after a moderate level of hypohydration induced by exercise in the heat."

This is a myth or at least contested. The amount of alcohol in the average beer will cause about 4 oz of water loss, so you net about 8oz of water. Shoddy reference.

An odd request from a user regarding laptop Touchpads by grossbardin techsupport

[–]drwatson 0 points1 point ago

I don't believe what you want to do is possible. When you turn off the touchpad, the buttons turn off too. I would take this opportunity to teach the user the proper way to use a laptop or just get a wireless mouse. You can drive yourself crazy trying to please everyones strange computer use habits.

Do you get upset at other cyclists who run lights / signs / blatantly break the law? They make the rest of us look bad. by pentium4borgin bicycling

That was an assault and attempted robbery, not a traffic dispute.

Employers: while interviewing potential employees, what small things do you take note of that affect your decision about hiring them? by knismesisin AskReddit

[–]drwatson -1 points0 points ago

I met an interviewee at our security desk where visitors have to check in. Check in process involves security scanning your driver's license and asking for the make and license plate number of your car. He couldn't find his license and was so flustered with the few simple requests from the security guard that I immediately wrote him off. I then proceeded to waste 30 minutes interviewing him.

An exception to the rule because historic used to be pronounced with a silent H. "An 'istoric event."

Tattoo artists, ever do a tattoo even though you thought it was the dumbest fucking idea ever? Do tell by Testicle_Festivalin AskReddit

[–]drwatson 1 point2 points ago

That's not completely correct. Code 128 for example uses bars of 4 different widths.

Proposed bill would eliminate dollar bill in favor of dollar coins and could save $500 million per year by UnknownHoursin news

Most men carry their wallet in their back pocket and no one wants to sit on a pile of coins.

Cops of Reddit: Are there any crimes that you intentionally don't enforce? by caussynin AskReddit

[–]drwatson 1 point2 points ago

I think the question is: Should you make everything that is dangerous illegal? At what point does personal responsibility and education come into play? Instead of new laws that have minimal effect, maybe increase mandatory driver's education times and have a drivers test that isn't a joke. Something more along the lines of what Germany does.

It's thinking! by squishymarshmallowsin fffffffuuuuuuuuuuuu

[–]drwatson 6 points7 points ago

There's a reason they won't talk about the vaccine-autism connection either.

Because it's conspiracy theory bullshit that has been dis proven time and time again?

Without knowing your height and weight it's a shot in the dark but have you considered that you may not be eating enough calories?

Usually the choice is between a giant douche or a turd sandwich, so lose-lose.

I transport exotic and unusual shipments for FedEx. AMA by DavidLangein IAmA

[–]drwatson 4 points5 points ago

HDs are much more expensive than tapes. Those ideas work fine for home/small business. I am more referring to enterprise scale disaster recovery.

[–]drwatson 1 point2 points ago

Many companies keep weekly and monthly archives, so tape give you the ability to physically put something away in a drawer and say "that is my Dec.31 2011 backup". DVD doesn't give you the needed capacity and BD is too expensive.
