My Kinda Gal

Meg Turney's frustrated sing-songy outburst:

"Why did you shut off, you fuckin' piece of shit / Gonna replace you with a fuckin' PC!"

Been there before.  Redheads are trouble, though.  Been there before, too.

Don't Eat Anything with a Face

A couple months ago I heard this debate on NPR regarding whether to eat meat or not.  Joel Salatin's arguments blew away the opposing arguments, but the idiots in the audience weren't swayed.

Bitcoin Attacks

A few weeks ago I saw an article claiming "Bitcoin is Broken"--must've shown up on Reddit.  There's also a related thread on bitcointalk regarding "Sybil attacks".

Massive Mobile Link Dump

For some reason, I have 40+ tabs open in Chrome on my phone.  Perhaps I ought to sync it with my non-mobile session, but I'm wary of Google's wiles.

And when I thought I was done, Blogger lost more than half of what I posted.  In truth, I only use Blogger because it's readily available.  I've had a ton of problems with it.  So here's the rest of the links from Chrome's history--but I know I'm missing a few.

Water, Water, Everywhere

In the June 2008 copy of Nutrition Action, a feature article by a kidney expert debunks some of the myths regarding water needs.  Oft-repeated is that water needs are need 1 gallon per person, per day, which is a lot of H2O.  The article references a study from 1945 that claims water needs are about 1 mL per calorie--but much of that is in the food itself.  Now, if people are eating freeze-dried foods, then more water would be required, not to mention for hygiene, stress situations, etc.  Even so, knowing how much is really needed helps plan.  Furthermore, if one's urine isn't clear, that doesn't mean they're dehydrated to where they need to do anything.  In other words, those urine color indicators are bullshit.

I couldn't find the article online, but a Scientific American article mentions the doc's study and references a publication from Dartmouth College.
