Tumblr post from user bayesic-bitch Currently doing an Insomniac's Gambit. For those of you who don't know, this is when you mess up your sleep schedule badly enough that you attempt to fix it by skipping an entire night of sleep then going to bed at a reasonable hour the next day. Crucially, it does not work
Two tabby cats laying heads together in the sunshine. Pollo on the left, average cat sized and more golden. Trouble on the right, the long boy, more silvery. They've got a blue fuzzy worm toy at their feet
Dragons Next on the Time Life Enchanted World series of bills from the 80s Purple cloth bound with gold foil and illustrated insert.

Trolli gummi pop popsicles. Soft. Gummi. Frozen. Cherry lemon flavor. There's gummy worms with eyes on the box. The popsicle itself looks pretty normal, yellow and red tube on a stick. Except. They've made it look like it's wiggling. Suggestively. Like a vibrator
A dark blobby shape with button eyes has been drawn in pink on aunties pile of clothes, helpfully labeled creature. The pink plushie in the background says oh no, because it resembles the 'webcomic name' character

Composition of the new ORS formulation New ORS, grams/litre, % Sodium chloride, 2.6, 12.683 Glucose anhydrous, 13.5, 65.854 Potassium chloride, 1.5, 7.317 Trisodium citrate dihydrate, 2.9, 14.146 Total: 20.5, 100% New ORS, mmol/litre Sodium 75 Chloride 65 Glucose. anhydrous 75 Potassium 20 Citrate 10 Total osmolarity: 245 This ORS composition has passed extensive clinical evaluations and stability tests. The pharmacokinetics and therapeutic values of the substances are as follows: glucose facilitates the absorption of sodium (and hence water) on a 1:1 molar basis in the small intestine; sodium and potassium are needed to replace the body losses of these essential ions during diarrhoea (and vomiting); citrate corrects the acidosis that occurs as a result of diarrhoea and dehydration. Ingredients: 3934% of sodium chloride is sodium; 2.6g = 1022mg sodium 24% of trisodium citrate is sodium; 2.9g = 696mg sodium Total sodium = 1718mg 52.445% of potassium chloride is potassium; 1.5g = 787mg potassium Glucose/Dextrose (they are chemically identical) = 13.5g Accessible DIY Recipe: 3/4 teaspoon of table salt (1743mg sodium) 2 Tablespoons glucose/dextrose powder (14g) or 3 Tablespoons and 1 teaspoon sugar (40g) 1/4 teaspoon potassium chloride powder (730mg) or Morton sodium free salt substitute, Nu Salt salt substitute, or other potassium chloride salt substitute.

Unwell brand energy drink, passion fruit orange guava flavor. Made with fruit juice and no artificial sweetener (does contain stevia though). Plus some b vitamins and a little electrolytes (could be more salty IMO) Tastes... Fine? Like a hybrid of a minimally juice product in a pouch and the less bad energy drinks without the gross aftertaste. It's funny bc I'm disabled. That's why I bought this. Not immune to propaganda or something. Stay hydrated

Your ∆EoK JND 0.00071 Okay, either you're a mantis shrimp in a trenchcoat or your display has a secret wide-gamut mode nobody told me about. Suspiciously impressive.
White text on black background Your ∆EoK JND 0.0021 Genuinely remarkable. You sailed past the theoretical human limit like it owed you money. I'd accuse you of cheating but I don't actually know how you'd cheat at this.

From Tumblr user bee-fox July 24, 2024 I think that it's really important for people to realize that being disabled is traumatic. genuinely. your body and brain feel like they are breaking down and wrong. you are in constant heavy stress from stuff like chronic pain. most disabled people i know have a somewhat regular emotional break down from the trauma of it all. and we are expected to just smile through it by society, to not be in the way, to not be an issue. #it's why we all have really dark humor #chronic illness #chronic pain #actually disabled #disability

Work in progress. Weaving a cane chair seat. I have done 3 passes of cane strips - vertical, horizontal, and vertical again. The little pegs hold the ends of the cane secure in the holes around the edge. This was the easy part Time to get my ass kicked by row 4 where I have to start weaving the second horizontals

Recurring Charges Fraud CreditCards wiki credit_card_fraud If you do experience fraud on your card, make sure to monitor your new card for any unrecognized charges. Some fraud can "follow" onto the new card because of some overall customer experience attempts to make it easier for seamless and uninterrupted card payments. This means that merchants with your stored card info can get updated card information (use case: you got a new card and don't want Netflix/utilities to stop working). which can occasionally lead to more fraud from a previously-exposed card number. In order to stop fraud from following onto a new card number, call your bank and ask for them to: Delete all existing device tokens (this removes all existing device-based instances of your card like the card in Apple Pay on your iPhone, the card in Apple Pay on your Apple Watch, etc) Delete all existing network tokens (network tokens are stored card numbers that get tokenized by merchants, and they look the same as normal card on file to an end user) Remove your card number from the card network's automatic card refresher: • American Express calls it Card Refresher • Discover calls it Account Updater • Mastercard calls it Automatic Billing Updater (ABU) • Visa calls it Visa Account Updater (VAU) THEN send you a new card with a new card number That should break the cycle and remove any possible link to the old card. You may have to ask for supervisors or escalate to get someone who knows what these things mean and can actually do them.

Tumblr screenshot User thedeafprophet: I saw some weird ass conspiracy video thing today of like 'we were never meant to have access to yeast, that was cultivated in a lab and it harms us' bullshit and I was like well first off there's no such thing as 'meant to' and second of all um? the long history of acquiring yeast from beer foam stretching so far back ?????? Reply moniquill: ....you can acquire yeast FROM THE AIR. If you want to make sourdough started from scratch, the process is 'mix water, flour, and maybe sugar if you've got it, then WHIP IN AS MUCH AIR AS YOU CAN' and let it sit. And this works. Because there's yeast there. In the air. Reply turtlesandfrogs: Not only is there yeast in the air, it's on a bunch of fruits, too. Ever rubbed a blueberry, plum, or grape, and it was slightly darker underneath? That thin film is wild yeasts. There is also yeasts that live on human skin (and not just pathogenic ones!). We are never without yeasts. Reply supreme-leader-stoat: Edited Twitter screenshot from user milk @dasani_bottle You are not alone. There's yeasts The word yeasts has been edited in Reply nighthawkchapter: You do not have access to yeast; yeast has access to you.
