  • I feel like the hungry -> starving process is just a longer version of the thirsty -> dehydrated process

    Does it make a difference that starvation takes longer than dehydration, but both result in eventual death? It takes weeks to die of starvation, it takes days to die of dehydration. Just because one manifests over a longer period of time and has a longer recovery period doesn’t make the other less deadly

    Also, I’m not sure if there are poisons a person can ingest that will strip vital nutrients and push a person into the starvation state (and if the poison does strip vital nutrients, the poisoned person already has bigger problems). But consuming alcohol will push a person into the dehydrated state without killing them.

    What if you compared the effects of dehydration and starvation as they progress, like, mild -> acute -> severe -> terminal?

    • Mild dehydration (day 1) kidneys conserve water, headache, fatigue
    • Mild starvation (week 1) blood sugar drops, liver increases glycogen breakdown, irritability, difficult to concentrate.

    Something like that?

  • My proton account costs less than $80/yr.

    That’s less than $7/mo.

    Considering a person can easily pay $45/mo for multiple services, I’m already ahead.

    You know, once I break even on all of the storage and network equipment I bought for the home lab. Two years . Three, tops. I shouldn’t need to buy any more storage for a long long…

    How have I already used 16TB?
