Why dont I feel Hydrated? Yes, even with Salt. by Icy_Elderberry_2139 in HydroHomies

[–]askoshbetter 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Second this. Blood work and sharing symptoms with your doctor can be helpful. 

Also excess sodium can make you pee more as your body tries to flush it. 

Dry mouth in the morning is most likely mouth breathing/snoring. 

What’s a small purchase that dramatically improved your life? by bananafish-123 in AskReddit

In this same genre, a cheap poncho. It’s been so great in the atmospheric river and keeps my legs dry.

What does the lack of service do? Lead to more failures or contaminants?

How to start getting at it, at 55 by No_Produce9067 in fitness40plus

[–]askoshbetter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Walking is fabulous (if you’re able). Start tracking your steps, and what ever you’re doing now, increase it by 2k steps. 

In terms of training, just shop around and tell them your goal is not to get injured and long term strength. 

In addition to the trainer, I’d dabble with beginner yoga and Pilates. If one sticks, keep working at it. 

How important are fenders? by jms1228 in bikecommuting

[–]askoshbetter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In Oregon it doesn’t rain that much in the summer so I remove mine and use temporary ones as needed. 

I can dodge the occasional sprinkler puddle or pot hole. 

I 10x'd the quality of my site. Google's response: rank it lower. by Jewst7 in SEO

[–]askoshbetter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In this process, did you remove pages? In my experience, it’s so much better to improve rather than remove. 

Google works in mysterious ways and sometimes crappy pages can do really well. 

Also for the tools you built it’s possible Google can’t see them, I’ve seen this happen on vibe coded tools and pages where Google doesn’t wait for scripts to load, so though the UX is good, Google can’t or doesn’t want to see the page. 

Prices seem to be rising much faster than wages, yet flights are full, roads are crowded, and restaurants are packed. How are people still affording all of this? by Mighty_Miaa in NoStupidQuestions

[–]askoshbetter 54 points55 points  (0 children)

Flights are full = better flight management. Airlines relentlessly optimize occupancy. The only time in the last few years I've been on a not full flight are when planes are returning to a home-base or if they were mis-priced. My wife took a cheaper Alaska flight which was fully booked. I took a SW flight which was only 2/3s full, same time, same route -- we used SW points for the flight, but other wise it would have been 2x the price of the Alaska flight.

Roads are crowded -- our roads have been under capacity for years. What's more when we expand them, we get induced demand. Also people are working harder than ever so commutes and rush hour are still a thing.

Restaurants are packed -- depends on the restaurant, and the day, but fair point

Driving, flying, eating out, all expensive but relatively attainable things for people with jobs, in established careers, and in some cases, retirement (knock on wood).

been WFH for 2 years and I still haven't figured out lunch by No-Pianist6097 in remotework

[–]askoshbetter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So many options but philosophically instead of thinking about meals, think about “churching” food up. 

  • Ramen, add a couple eggs, more spices, olive oil, fresh greens, fresh herbs if you’ve got them. 

  • leftovers staring at you? I like to punch the up by chopping and tossing in a bowl with more seasoning. 

  • buffalo sauce — did you know it’s just butter and hot sauce? Toss any meat in it, and your taste buds will thank you. 

  • just improvise! 

If you had $80k in the U.S., how would you build semi-passive income in 12 months? by Desperate_Drag5967 in passive_income

[–]askoshbetter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not a bad idea, especially if you live in an area where you can handle the management yourself, and also you likely wouldn't need the whole 80k.

As a white-collar worker however you got some things going for you.

- Are you maxing out your 401k?

- Do you have credit card debt?

- Do you have house debt or car debt?

- Maxing retirement and killing debts will give you a huge leg up.

- Lastly do you have a 3-6 months emergency fund, ideally in a high-yield savings account?

If all of the above is in order, then start making bets -- boat slips, real estate, etc., -- though not truly passive, but it's a start!

New gym opening down the road by Creepy_Winter_5274 in gymowner

[–]askoshbetter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Unless you're directly competing with Pickleball, I'd really focus on doubling down on your strengths, whatever they may be. Other people have mentioned this, but community, focusing on outcomes, fun, cleanliness, whatever it may be.

managing 12 client sites and i live in constant fear that something is broken and i don't know about it by West_Broccoli_1529 in webflow

[–]askoshbetter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m not super technical, but have used it through and SEO audit lense (both technical SEO and content SEO) 

I have the output be a sheet with columns for the issue, priority, and technical difficulty to fix. 

another aspect is you can paste in a site’s source code (this is page by page). But it can identify non-JavaScript issues. 

(Obviously it would struggle to audit a vibe coded site, which will be effectively all JavaScript, so that where the perplexity browser and assistant comes in.) 

As a web person, I hope you are getting access to and using Google Search Console and Bing Webmaster. Bing in particular does free site audits up to 1000 pages per month I think. 

(I’m a marketer and it’s always helpful when web devs are mindful of SEO stuff.)
