This is funny. It is laughably bad. This person has obviously never done a lick of manual labor in a hot place.
I would love to see anyone try working with me in 110-degree, 5% humidity weather while drinking gelatinous broth or milk. You would be puking within hours.
List of things that don’t hydrate you:
• Plain water
List of things that do hydrate you:
• Milk
• Gelatinous broth
• Orange juice
• Raw meat
• Hot cacao
• Lemonade
• Coconut water
• Milkshake
• Fruit
Ditch your water jug and stop forcing yourself to chug

I'm a 44 y/o man. If I no longer needed a job, the list of things I could/want to do is endless. My job is the least interesting and important part of me. I have no idea how we've decided that people's identity and worth come from their paid employment.

Facebook is a nearly unusable platform. Every other post is sponsored. The new Meta AI search is ridiculous. Yet, they have groups. That one feature is the only thing they do well. It would be great to have someone else replicate that idea so I can delete Facebook forever.

Today, I am 44 years 2 days old. I've been married to my wife for 22 years 1 day. So we've been married for half my life. It's hard to think of life without her.
My advice is to get married young if you can. Stick through hard times. Build your life together not as an individual

We live down a rural road. There are no street lights, so it is dark at night. Headlights from an oncoming car can make it difficult to see from well over a mile away. Inside of a mile, many of them are blinding. I hate it so much.

Being prepared is problem solving. Why wait for a problem to appear when you can make sure it doesn't?
There are people who die hiking in the desert every year. Why? Lack of planning.

I would love a washing machine that is just a simple machine to wash my clothes. It is always the computer card or something that goes bad. I have the skills to replace the card, but it is sort of a gamble that you pick the right card, and your machine is out while waiting parts.

The kids these days and the way they (checks notes) drink water. Why don't they act like past generations that all died of heart attacks at 50 years old while mowing their grass?
The children's water bottle phenomenon needs to stop. It's a transitional object like linus' disgusting blanket. Grow up! Use a water fountain.

Some of you have never lived like this for months with a non shower taker in the bunk below you, and it shows. Trust me, people know if you don't shower. You aren't special and smell like roses naturally. Don't be nasty. Clean your body.

After the bobcat attack last month, we were left with 4 chickens. 2 Easter Eggers, 1 Blue Andalusian, and 1 Barnevelder. The Barnevelder just started laying yesterday. Today, we got an egg from all of them for the first time.

What a world we live in. I got a letter in the mail that my primary care doctor is closing her practice, so I need to get a new one. I called to see what they have available for appointments to establish care with a new doctor. December 19 or May of NEXT YEAR is what's available.

I think the same thing about people in Arizona. They buy a 4 acre lot and then kill every plant on it. Why would you want 4 acres of dirt rather than trees to keep the neighbors from staring at you?

12 eggs today! Looks like we have 2 laying green eggs. The one on the top right is definitely from Peckachoo. The one to the left of it is green but not the same olive. It has to be from one of the new Easter Eggers.

Today, my wife and I celebrate 22 years of marriage. Sometimes, I say we chose today because it's easy to remember being the day after my birthday. Really though it's when the Navy let me. It's kind of crazy to think we've been married that long. It doesn't seem like 22 years.

Got a blue egg today. It's been a few weeks since we had one of those. The olive egg laying Easter Egger has been laying for the last week, too. She takes breaks where she won't lay for a month and then goes strong again for 3-4 months.

Poof is probably the friendliest chick we've ever had. Every time we open the door to the chick coop, she runs over to be held.

One of the reasons why social media is so bad for us is that scorners are given a voice. One of the best ways to make social media better for yourself is to liberally block and mute. You do not owe people access to your mind and soul.

My wife's family is from the Philippines. Shoes are definitely removed.
I find it pretty gross when people take their dog into the back yard to pee and poo then wear those shoes into the house again. Even worse when they have toddlers or crawlers.

It's generally the recovery aspect. At 43, I can probably do most of what I did in my 30s. The problem is I can't always go back to it the next day. The best part of the 20s and 30s is doing physical work and then recovering quickly.

After 9/11, everyone one on our ship was supposed to get qualified to carry a gun to stand watch.
I remember people who dropped the gun after shooting. Some cried. Some said they joined the Navy because they didn't think they would have to shoot.
Those people are veterans.

We've been married for 22 years, and my wife has never worked. We have 6 kids, so you figure she's been pregnant for about 5 years. I think we qualify.
I started in the Navy and did the Reserves. I've done trade type of jobs. We aren't rich at all.

8 eggs today. I looked back, and the last time we got so many in one day was in October. After the extra hot summer, the chickens all slowed down in November to grow their feathers back, I think. December was really slow due to dark days. Now, we are heading back to good times.

None of them were tore up. I think they died of fright.
I know some people will think this is dumb, but some of those birds were like friends. We had a few left of the original 2020 group. Even some of the newer ones had interesting personalities.

We had to move the chicks to the outside chick coop yesterday. We've never had so many at. Once in our bathroom. Some of them really needed space to stretch their wings. They are 3 weeks old, and we usually let them get a bit older this time of year.

A while back, I was listening to the

It's very relaxing to play with the chicks.
This one is Susan. We think she might be a Dominique. She came up to be and stood there until I heald her. I ended up holding her for at least 5 minutes. She's our one that had the drippy eye, so she got extra care when she was tiny.

I was born in 1980, so I'm in between GenX and Millennial.
However, in 2003, I was on the USS Saipan. We took Marines and helicopters to Iraq for the start of the war.
A large portion of the low ranking sailors and Marines were millennial. They volunteered for service.
It's hard to imagine Millennials and Zoomers doing this.
