Oh, thanks for that, I read different but here's the key thing that I think was missing from the analysis I read:

But the concentration of alcohol required for this increases as you get thirstier. If you just drank wine on your desert island, you would initially lose more water than you gain from wine, but as your body became more dehydrated, it would produce more ADH to compensate and you'd eventually reach an equilibrium point.

That sounds like a level of detail it is not necessarily useful to go into with most people. I never experienced anyone non-technical complaining about cloud products, so it would just be proselytising about what to me is a hobby/passion project.

(Not that I'm big into self hosting, but to the extent I am)

The threshold for dehydration is about 2% alcohol, so no it won't

There is no map projection that renders all great circles as straight lines.

I always wonder how you can distinguish this from people just being poetic. Beaver means basically the same thing but no-one is proposing people were afraid of summoning them.

I have a chronic but minor health condition that doesn't come up much and the other day was treated to something like this by none other than the threadiverse's first. I expected better for some reason.

Aren't waymos safer than human drivers? Why are we shitting on something that will reduce a huge source of death and injury?

Even the people working in sweatshops have better access to clothing than peasants pre-industrialisation.

You know proper socialist countries industrialised as fast as they could because their leaders saw the benefits it would bring?

It's human nature that some people don't feel, or don't feel as acutely. There's also a cultish aspect to it, where because everything is MAGA Vs democrats, all your friends and identity are likely bound up in the same thing, so admitting you were wrong isn't just admitting you were wrong: it's completely changing the way you see yourself and severing many relationships.
