Lucky for the guy dr Oz was there! /s

I just stir it regularly and eyeball when it’s presumably done.

I’m still going with dementia.

Dinosaurs is a clade, not a species. Humans belong to the clades hominoids and simians, which have been around for 13 and 42 million years.

I’m not even sure what you are trying to say, you seem to be moving the goal posts a lot between comments. My top comment should be read as alkaline water doesn’t do anything special for your body since it’s just water when it enters the stomach. The only thing it can help for is for LPR sufferers as @realitista@lemmus.org states in another reply to my top comment.

First, like someone stated above, your stomach pH won’t be very much affected by the alkalinity. Basically, your stomach pH is very low, pH 2 is normal. Since pH is a log scale, you would need to make it ten times less acidic to get a pH of 3. Som slightly alkaline water solution won’t get it there, especially since the stomach fluid is a buffer which helps maintain a constant pH. Dilution will help more, depending on the volume of stomach fluid. However, your stomach will produce more acid to make up for it.

Second, now you still have to get the pH of the whole body higher, which means raising the pH of the blood. The pH of blood is about 7,4 and it is also a buffer. You have 5 liters of blood, which get constantly pumped around the body. If there were something jacking the pH of your blood (via IV), your kidneys would remove the alkalinity again, right up to the point of kidney failure. This is where you die.

TIL, thank you. It indeed makes perfect sense that it would help for this.

Shit takes time.

You shit in the shower?

Better for the teeth than pH neutral? Nope. For heartburn it might help, but only for a real short time. Non-fat milk would probably be the better choice.

Alkaline water won’t be alkaline for long after it enters the stomach, so it doesn’t really matter

Long story, but TL;DR: These are the factory settings for most older combination locks.

Feynman in one of his books explained that he picked locks as a hobby during and after WW2. So he knew how to pick locks, but his method for combination locks was not practical, basically a guessing game. At some point, a safe (I think installed on special orders by some overseer of the Manhattan project) was locked and no one knew the combination. So someone sent for a locksmith to open it. Feynman was hoping to find this locksmith, so he could ask him how to open such a safe. But, when he came to the room with the safe, the safe was open and the locksmith gone.

So he did what any sane person would do; he found out the name of the locksmith, started following him around for a bit and ultimately bought him a drink in a bar. When he introduced himself the locksmith recognized his name, Feynman being notorious for his shenigans including lockpicking. So he asks the locksmith how to open this kind of safe, and the locksmith responds “no idea”. So Feynman asks if he had no idea, why did he take the job and how did he open it. Then the locksmith explains that he was just going to show up, make some noise and all that, and then explain that he couldn’t crack the safe, here’s my bill thank you very much. But since he knew that these safes were all deliverd from the factory with either the standard combinations 0-25-0 or 25-50-25, he tried those first and that’s how he opened the safe.

Feynman found it baffling that someone had a big heavy safe custom installed for him, but was then too lazy to change the combination. He also went around the labs (where a lot of files realting to the Manhattan project were kept), and found out that quite a few combination locks on the file cabinets were still set to default.

Good thing that he didn’t pay for it then. But nice of you to remove the name of the OP, now everyone can share it as theirs. /s

Maybe search the lock picking lawyer’s channel on youtube for the make and model.

Is it an old fashioned one with a number wheel? Try 0-25-0 or 25-50-25. I learned that one from Richard Feynman.
