I know that Isotonic drinks contain similar concentrations of salt and sugar as in the human body, which makes the drink feel refreshing. Osmosis and so on. Isotonic drinks are not limited to what is branded as sport drinks - a mix of juice and sparkling water can also be isotonic....

Trying to do some custom work in my hyundai ioniq 5. I came across these trim nuts and cannot figure out how to remove them without destroying them. They are definitely gripping somehow but spin freely. Anyone come across these before?...

So this is a weird thing I noticed recently: Whenever I send a group text to my siblings, if the text contains a link, they don’t receive the text. But they can get my group texts without links, and they can get messages with links if I send only to one person....

For example - if a popular TV show is about to have its season or series finale, or a sport league is about to have its championship game. Are there any websites that track these, without all the noise of less important shows or games, to keep track of?...

Right now, the only method I found is to click on the expando, then right click on the image and open it in a new tab. Is there a way to make it so I can just click it once? I can’t imagine any possible scenario where I’d want to see a large but not full size image....

We have been composting for about 6 months now, and I’ve noticed that flies leave it alone. Crows will pick through it, and it’s got a ton of worms but no flies. I have flies in my yard, but they avoid the compost. I’m following guidelines on what I can and cannot put in it. Any ideas? Not that I want flies in it at all,...

A few months ago I got into an argument on TikTok about this. Some guy posted a video where he pretended to shine a laser pointer at a plane during the day, along with his mugshot and a news story about getting arrested for it. It was clearly a joke/photoshopped because the news story said it happened at midnight....
