I have a couple questions, if you don’t mind:

Hang on! Hold the presses! Bsupport is a tagtime goal?

That doesn’t make sense, for a few reasons:

  • if you’re retroracheting, tagtime may give you problems because of its probabilistic nature, in that you may not have the margin of error needed

  • don’t you get paid according to bsupport? Since it’s possible to look ahead to determine when the pings are coming, seems like the income-maximizing strategy would just be to work if and only if there will be a ping in the next 5 minutes.

  • being paid probabilistically may violate labor laws…

I’m curious why you think you don’t drink water enough. I have seen others post similar comments:

It just seems to me that your body is already telling you when you should drink water. Where does this idea “drinking when you’re thirsty means not drinking enough water” come from?
