My wife is convinced that one's pee must be clear at all times. Any tint of yellow are signs of dehydration.
Any tint of yellow is a sign that your kidneys are doing their job and filtering shit out your blood.
Trust me, I've had all the debates already. She does this thing where she reads some advice somewhere and takes it to the next level. The original text was probably something like "if your pee is too yellow it's signs that you should drink more water." And takes it to mean if its yellow at all.

@the_quiet_one And if it's green, you should probably see a doctor

Just remember, you can die from drinking too much water.

You need an IoT-enabled salt block to help you out with that!

@dcon Yup
Woman dies after being in water-drinking contest
A 28-year-old woman found dead hours after taking part in a radio station's water-drinking contest died of water intoxication, the coroner's office said Saturday.
-
@anonymous234 Did she win ?
-
@timebandit Her family did, sort of
-
@dcon don't worry. She isn't that bad. She's just very conscious of her water intake. Borderline obsessive.

For your convenience, there are two AMAZING models of Refill Packs!
Yes, but do any of them contain spunk?

Early advertisements referred to Dasani as "bottled spunk"
Kinky.
That would probably be MUCH more expensive though.

I tried this, but when I had a high blood sugar I encountered an
E_DEHYDRATIONwhile following this formula. Perhaps it needs tweaks for nonoptimal bodily chemistry?

To buy, yes. Not to make. Because a homeopathic company is behind it.

Par for the course with journalists and other writers. Much worse is that the people who edit the text and/or lay it out also don’t seem aware of these kinds of things anymore.
same thing isn't it?
Just like advertisements selling 100 m2 apartments. I insist on reading that kind of thing as “one hundred em two” — unfortunately, that wouldn’t work to point out the mistake in “H2O".

I buy 8-packs of Powerade and drink at least 2 a day.
WTF dude? Drink water. Plain water. It comes out of the tap nearly for free. It's cheaper and it's not full of sugar and salt. It might even help you with your sense of thirst.

So is the municipal water good or not? You're giving conflicting signals here.

It might be good in the sense that it's not full of lead and stuff because he doesn't live in Flint, Michigan, but it might be gross to his taste buds because it doesn't have electrolytes or whatever it is
plantshis taste buds crave.

That is what they do. But they have to work harder when there's less water available, and if you're prone to kidney stones you better believe any hint of yellow is something to worry about.

we can sell IoT-things that determine

Totally different bottle. The label stuck on the outside will be different, that makes it a totally different thing, yes?

While of course staying in the exact same overall design for brand recognizability, yes.

It's good. It also tastes gross. There's no conflict.

Of course it is. Why do you think there's that buffer in between them?

You're going to have to explain what you mean by "good" then.

Good: meets all standards of water health and safety.
What bit are you having trouble with here? Plain water tastes gross. That's true (for me) regardless of how good or bad the water is. You could have pure rain water with carefully-selected minerals added by free-range magical elves from the Land of Dairy Queen, and it'd still taste gross to me. Because plain water tastes gross.
My brother drinks water, but he doesn't like coffee. You could find the douchiest Seattle barista, give him 400 assistants who came directly from Colombia and Kenya with personally-picked beans and an espresso machine blessed by Jesus himself. And yet my brother would say it's gross.
I don't get why you're so confused here.

+1. By the time I’ve drunk maybe half a glass of plain water (call it 100 ml), I really don’t feel like drinking the rest.
-
@blakeyrat said in New IoT idea:

The part where you say "good but bad".
@blakeyrat said in New IoT idea:
Plain water tastes gross.
That's not good water. It might be safe but it's not good. Or perhaps you've just screwed up your sense of taste as well as your sense of thirst by drinking too much salty sugary shit.
-

So you're not confused, since I never said that. Glad we cleared it up.
-
@blakeyrat said in New IoT idea:

There's quite a variation. Some places, that's very true. Others, not so much.

There's people who disagree. (OK, there's always people who disagree!) But some municipal water in some parts of the world really does taste gross to most people, enough to conclude that it probably isn't just a personal taste thing, and other water is enjoyed by a statistically high number of people.
I'm mostly of the “water is meh” persuasion. It slakes thirst…

You light up my beer: Pats glass goes high-tech
Bud Light is giving away 65,000 beer glasses to Patriots fans that light up every time the team scores a touchdown.
You could pour water into it, like a lameass, too, so it's relevant to this thread!

@the_quiet_one I bet someone will still find a way to break its (non-existent) security and hack your beer
